The risible part of the discussion, is that up until now cannabis lab services haven't been available to us local skunk pharmers, so we developed the practice of anecdotal testing using volunteer patent test panels.

Amongst others, those tests have included smoking or vaporizing bubble, dry sieve, BHO, HHO, QWISO, QWET, QWME, and EtOh reflux, as well as Cannabuttons and super Cannabuttons.

We also periodically give pro bono patient classes on about seven of those processes, with a side by side taste comparison test of the kif and oils extracted at the end of the class.

The risible part is that at least the patients around here love it all. They may like one or the other best, but it is more like a discussion of the differences between two fine wines, than between mother's milk and rat feces.
 
That sounds pretty amazing. Where for my everyday consumption I find that a well prepared BHO/BHC suffices, I have not been satisfied with the large scale extractions of lesser material I have done, and look forward to honing some refining techniques.

Just read that Full Spectrum Labs in CO is gonna start testing for terpenes! It was in the April 15 edition of Kush magazine... Lemme see if I can find the article, interesting stuff!

Good on them and good idea!

XXXXX XXXX Labs is the new kid on the Oregon block and I was impressed with how straight Richard, its principal, seems to have his head on, with regard to R&D and shared research. The right hand washes the left!

So far we have just discussed the big three cannabinoids (THC, CBD, and CBN), mold, and insecticides. I will add terpenes to our discussion, as it is definitely germane.

So far I know just enough about GC and HPLC to be dangerous, but do know that they use standards to sort out the peaks.

I also know the lab folks laugh and scratch together, so hopefully they will continue to share those standards, and we will all benefit from the enlightment!

It was a pretty damn interesting read, they had identified limonene, and about 7 or so different others. Some of the others (can't remember at the moment the names) had different properties, i.e. anti-inflammatory, anti viral, anti fungal, etc, IIRC. Exactly why I wouldn't want to lose any terpenes in the hash making process, as is the case with bubblehash. :wave:

Yup! Check out these properties, which I scored off ICMag forum, but alas I don't remember from whom. Credit to which ever kindly enlightened soul that it was!
