glad to see this thread up. been juicing ganja for my dad as a part of our ongoing efforts to irrigate his cancer with as much cannabinoid as possible.
couple of things we have come across wonder what thoughts you might have.
at first we started with leaf but for the past 3 months or so, we have been using the entire cola, stripped of large fan leaves. buds, sugar, small fans, stem. we just chop it into manageable pieces and it goes into the juicer.
the other thing we became concerned with is the degradation/decarbing of thc-a after juicing. from what we have read, it seems that the ruptured trichomes begin breaking down into psychoactives very quickly, no temp change required. would love some opinion on that.
and also on whether/why you think that freezing and dehydration might stop the breakdown of thc-a in its tracks. right now, dad chops a branch off a rip plant, juices it, and drinks it, within 10 minutes. would LOVE to have freeze dried juice that would remain completely non-psychoactive.
dont get me wrong, the old man LOVES getting ripped. his nightly bho+coconutoil capsules are over 2 grams per dose now....
but compared to what he can consume in the form of fresh juice even that is a tiny amount.
last test we did, he drank the juice of 150 grams of bud. no fans just bud with its attached sugar trim. if dried 150 grams is around 30 grams or so, or the equivalent of 3-4 grams of bho.
no buzz at all. (beyond the normal buzz of his nonstop ganja blazing that is...couldnt get him to lay off for the sake of science)
anyway, if there was a way to get the juice from the feild to the patients without its degradation i would be very happy.
