Could you use the moldy cannabis for topicals? What would 28 or 29 minutes do to aflatoxins in a pressure cooker thats 250 degree's or are they like Vampires and never die? A lot of people don't ingest but use it for arthritis and other such afflictions. The .02 micron filters are on EBAy, do they last, are they washable.
Some folks can have a Type 1 allergic reaction to Botrytis, spores and filaments, even without aflatoxins. We either take it out, or pitch the material.
Don't know how to break down the aflatoxins.
The 0.2 microns filters can either be found with a permanent holder and replacable membranes, or throwaway cartridges.
Haven't seen any washable and recyclable 0.2's.
What are you're thoughts on the quote I posted from the journals and the chemist? Maybe I am completely misunderstanding, but it seems as if though you can leave the aflatoxins in the source material if you use an organic solvent. So would winterizing with ethanol do anything to the aflatoxins, or would they just stay in the material?
The unanswered question, is "would the presence of non polar aromatic hydrocarbon cannabinoids affect the rate that the ethanol absorbed the aromatic hydrocarbon aflatoxins", and since the cost of being wrong is high, I want to see empirical tests done on cannabis.
I posed your question to the organic chemist I was communicating with and his response was:
Unfortunately he was not able to provide any further assistance because he did not want to violate his forum rules, which I understand.
