Making shatter!

Not joking at all, and you probably shouldnt dab if you are a diagnosed schizophrenic.

Sry man not trying to be rude, this isnt for everybody.

Oh gosh no i don't dab at all, I hate smoking weed it makes me feel weird and paranoid, not fun for me. I defiantly realize that dabbing while being diagnosed with skits can unleash a psychotic episode which I don't think anyone wants. I don't even smoke any form of weed or edible. I just like making the stuff it's fun taking a plant and making a glass like concentrate out of it for me. It's just the chemistry and improving my tek by trial and error that I like, not the partaking in it. It's like a hobby I want to get into. I've made DMT, Mescaline, DXM LSA, THC-O-Acetate and a few other chemicals and I always enjoy it, but those were for personal use. This tho potentially can generate me some income as well which I have no qualms about and is a bit more involved so it looks like fun. It's not like I wanna be like Walter White, I just want to play chemist really, yea I wanna be like Bill Nye instead lol.

I thought you meant I shouldn't make it because I am skits and therefore have some sort of inferiority and would therefore either blow myself up or poison myself or something (When I make any BHO I wear lab gear, use goggles, spray butane in a big open area only when theres a good breeze and no where for it to pool or seep into, I totally missed the point of your post I think. I apologize to you.
 
Man, I won't even smoke weed before or during extractions with a closed loop...
You really are setting yourself up for immolation. Re-think all of this please...
Selling 20 sacks isn't all that bad...


I would never smoke up and then use butane that's just very silly and if you do that I think you deserve a nice wake up fire ball in the face. Mind adulterants and volatile chemicals do not mix.
 
Also, what did you mean when you said you were 'clean'?
You're not 'clean' of pharms so what are you 'clean' of?

Well no I'm not clean of psychotropics, if I was I'd be much worse off than if I was up to the gills in them. It's just my body chemistry I have imbalances of neurotransmitters in my brain and need these drugs to normalize them as best they can. Really I'm just trying to be like normal I guess, when you have a condition like mine you gain a lot more of an understanding and pathos for people in your position to. It's hard and there's such a stigma attached to it, sometimes it's really hard tbh.

As for being clean I used to be a coke addict 5 years ago for 3 years I'd go through at least 3 balls a week, it was ummm yeaaaa weird times. I;m lucky tho I guess I never really pooked out or got paranoid or weird from it, I just like how it made me able to focus and concentrate. Right after I was clean I was diagnosed with ADD and the psych figured part of the reason I used was for the calming paradoxical effect on me. I mean like I actually could get shit done and not be so all over the place. So I got put on dex, which helps me immensely. I haven't touched coke in a long long long time no want no need no point.

What do you think your heavy prescription meds are?? Dude, I don't even know what to say to you. I'm not looking forward to reading about you in the newspaper....

I think there called meds that keep me from hallucinating, hearing things, going off the deep end and becoming psychotic. I'd be more interested to hear what the news paper would say if I didn't take them tbh. You're level of ignorance is so high I feel dumb. It's because of people like you that people with mental health issues have such a stigma.

Its your life bro. Its pretty clear you aren't going to listen to good advice so why are you even here? The answers to all of your questions are already on the internet. Go do some research

Don't even pay attention to guys like that on here. They are in their own little preprogramed world. Good luck with your endeavors.

Major tranquilizers, classified as anti-psychotics, imo do nothing more than to knock you on your butt so you can't act out against what you perceive to be the cause of your agony. If they actuality addressed any faulty brain chemistry, they wouldn't be using them so heavily to control geriatric patient's aggressive behavior. These are the same drugs we used to gripe about the Soviets using on their imprisoned political dissenters.

All of these drugs are believed to cause Tardive Dyskinsia, permanent brain damage.

Hope you find your way to peace

Why are you going back to school if youd rather collect disability and have no intention of getting a job. Makes absolutely no sence.

You need to get over yourself and get the fuck out of here. It seems to me that anyone who wishes a fireball on a fellow member needs to alter their thinking. Perhaps you should take up cannabis consumption instead of mining vast amounts of knowledge from ICmagers, while contributing ZERO.

:joint:

put it this way.. if you have a DEATH WISH.. go do a bho extraction.. inside your efficiency .. while lighting up bongs and shit.

but if you want to make a nice extract.. and be around to actually smoke it.. RESEARCH .. READ... and READ AGAIN.. watch the explosion videos.. see what your dealing with . see what CAN AND WILL HAPPEN if your not smart about it . and remember that not only can you kill yourself. but if u got kids.. parents.. wife.. gf.. dogs.. cats. u can potentially kill them all . all because you were to lazy to do some research on the solvents your going to work with .

Becareful guys.. dont wana see anyone get hurt out there.. but i dont care if people wish me harm. we all know what happens to those people.. Karma takes care of Everything . wish harm upon someone.. this dude will proly blow himself up..
lol ill keep saying it .

educate yourself before running your batches.. and if you have other people at the place your extracting.. make sure to warn everyone not to spark up. or even come near you until your done..tell everyone to stay away until the initial purge is over. just so if anything ever did happen..

but good luck guys. making shatter is nice. man this shit i got right now.. i put a tiny bit on my paper.. roll up.. and BAM BAM . a half a joint and im good to GO.. lol. beautiful smell and taste.

I don't think he was saying that he wished a fire ball in someone's face. Maybe a misinterpretation on your part.:tiphat:

no im pretty positive he was saying.. if u get high before extracting u deserve to get blown up.. pretty fucked up.. i smoke every run.. before hand.. and no problems.. ive worked in labs before.. smoked weeed every morning on my way in.. worked with alot more dangerous shit then fuckin butane.
 
I would have to agree with most, if you have enough fire material you can but otherwise you kind of picked a hard thing to jump into... most people have already cemented relationships with growers have been producing quality extracts for years and now are looking for new markets, furthermore they started years ago so they are years ahead of you, and your chemistry background only goes so far... There are many things the worlds best chemist can't figure out about marijuana, and many trade secrets.

I got one thing for ya man . . . having read only a bit of this thread overall, it sounds to me like your going to wind up really frustrated, really fast. Kudos to you and your chemistry background, that's helpful...as you might understand what you "Intend" to accomplish. however I think that anyone here with a fuck's worth of experience in making quality extracts will agree with me in saying that this is not a "science" as much as you would like to thing....its probably more like 80% art, and 20% science, and the methods / techniques that result in the best end product are learned over a lot of trial and error not driven by the motivation of "earning a decent living" slanging grams, but by the sheer passion for the process, the result, and the pride. Ive read all up and down the web on this shit but it wasn't until I had done a number of rounds that I had it dialed in...because I love the shit. If I had two words of advice, they would be 1.) start with absolutely nothing but the absolute very best material, Grade AAA Fire nugs, preferably grown yourself or by someone you know so you know what is going into them as far as sprays and nutes etc....and 2.) don't quit your day job rockafella
