There are many, many ways to consume cannabis. Historically it has been burned, concentrated into hashish, distilled into oils and pressed into cakes dating back several thousand years.

1. Burning: Combustion of dried cannabis flowers, or Buds, is by far the most common use. It is also one of the worst methods due to the gasses and by products of burning plant material and breathing it. Placing burning cannabis in a bowl and placing a “tent” over it used to be a medical treatment. Rolling “joints” is quite popular, small hand pipes, chillums and even tin cans and fruit can be used to toke up. Water pipes help reduce some of the transfer of heat and combustion gasses and range from under $10 to several thousands of dollars. Vaporizing is the process of raising the plant oils to their vaporization temperature which is below the combustion temperature of the plant material, eliminating the CO2 and other combustion by products.
2. Hashish: The THC and CBD and many other terpenes are concentrated in trichomes, small capsules of oil that give the cannabis flower a sugar coated or frosty appearance when grown properly. These capsules are on small stalks sort of like mushrooms. Traditional separation of these trichome nodules has been by placing the plant on a fine screen and beating or shaking it.
   Water extraction of trichomes has become popular with the introduction of graduated silk screen bags market under the trade name “Bubble Bags”. They use the same silk screen method used for hundreds of years only they incorporate water and ice to facilitate transfer of separated trichomes through the successive silk screen sizes.
   Trichomes will, when mature, be 120 microns (triple the stalk diameter), to a maximum upwards of 135 microns. Knowing this it is then possible to utilize just a 120 micron screen to isolate the separated heads. Placing the plant material in a freezer and then further reducing the temperature with Dry Ice will cause the trichome stalks to become brittle and break off. Then a minute or two of agitation will move most of the trichomes through the silk screen.
   At this point, using dry sift, bubble bag or dry ice you will be left with “kief” which can then be smoked or eaten as is or further processed into Hashish by applying heat and pressure. Heating also “carbolizes” the THC increasing the potency.
3. Concentrates: Concentrating cannabis removes most or all of the crude plant material. The primary method is Solvent Extraction and the two main types are Critical CO2 and Butane.
   Critical CO2 extraction produces an opaque oil retaining more terpines and therefor flavor and the interaction of various terpines.
   BHO results in a translucent “honey oil” or Shatter or opaque “crumble” depending on the processing after extraction. BHO is certainly the most common method due to the low cost and small learning curve required to create a usable product.
   The process of pressing “Rosin” from fresh or dried cannabis has been gaining in popularity as it requires nothing more than a way to apply high pressure and/or heat. From simple hair straighteners to elaborate heated presses people are creating excellent rosin with minimal risk or expense.
4. Eating: Perhaps one of the first methods of getting THC in the body was to just eat the cannabis plant. The entire plant is edible, seeds, roots, stalks, leaves, flowers…there are no know toxins of any consequence in any part of the plant when properly grown (not using toxic chemicals). Cannabis can be made into healthy drinks, cooked into almost any food, used as a marinade, fresh leaves/buds used in salads, concentrates can be added to almost any thing. 5 to 10 milligrams is the recommended starting dosage for those new to edibles and their potentially greatly increased effects.

Strain: Sour Diesel Concentrate

Type: Mainly a Sativa – (believed to have descended from Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk.)

Potency: Estimated 80% to 90% THC

Origin: Art Tic Jester

Creator: Northern Botanical

Method: CO₂ Critical Extraction
Apeks Supercritical 1L machine, extracted at 1300 lbs, decompressed at 420
Yield is anywhere up to 25% of the dry weight. The system will process up to 1/2 lb at a time.

Grower: Art Tic Jester – MatSu

Appearance: Think Caramel Carrot Soup

Smell: Bright and citrusy with more than a hint of carrots.

Taste: Excellent, milder than any BHO I’ve tried.

High: Just a Dab’ll do ya. This hits with an immediate impact, right to the brain.

Overall: A really exceptional product and perhaps the best use of trim that I have seen so far. I’m going to get a fresh coil for my dab pen and see how this does. It is a lot more viscous at room temperature than BHO so there will be no laying the dab pen down when it’s loaded. I’ll be striping a paper and rolling up a nice joint of this and it’s parent Sour Diesel for the weekend.

Dabstick – $17.95

They forgot Rosin, but otherwise a good article…

“Once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can“ – we couldn‘t agree more, Hunter.

Butane Honey Oil, or BHO, is the essential oil from the cannabis plant, extracted using n-Butane as a solvent.  If it is extracted from fresh material, it is a Concrete, and if from cured material, it is an Oleoresin.  A concrete or an oleoresin that has been winterized to remove the waxes, lipids, and fats, is known as an Absolute. On the street it’s commonly called Wax or DAB.

Butane Honey Oil extraction refers to the method used to extract the essential oils from cannabis, and there are multiple theories on the best way to accomplish this, as well as what material is best to use.

The Fountain of Youth: a tale surrounding the dream of everlasting life. Though it is just a myth today, many people today might just be able to see the end of death by way of age. After all, aging is just a condition we all inherit from the moment of conception, one which may someday soon might be controlled and reversed.

As we get older, our bodies have a harder time rebuilding themselves while at the same time normal bodily functions help facilitate the breakdown of cells. Naturally, our breakdown processes start to outpace the rebuilding processes the longer we live, so we begin falling apart.

What if there was a way to hinder those breakdown processes? Well today, there is evidence that marijuana could play a vital role in preserving cognitive function for future generations.

We are hardwired to use Marijuana. Just like Vitamins, Minerals and Oxygen Marijuana is a part of who we are. There are specific receptors in your Brain that use the molecules found in Marijuana. God made us that way, if you believe in God, or we developed this way over millions of years if your an evolutionist. Either way, our brains are adapted to use Pot. In fact research has indicated that Neural Growth is actually dependent on the introduction of tetrahydrocannabinol
 
Marijuana is a fat soluble substance, so it’s active ingredients are released into any fats used to cook it. Marijuana Tea will contain little to no THC unless some fat or oil like milk is added during the brewing process. Marijuana leaves can be eaten in Salads, dried, crushed and added to any prepared foods and Marijuana Seeds are quite delicious when roasted. There are no known toxic effects to any part of the plant.


You can obtain Omega-3 (essential to normal growth, reduces triglycerides, heart rate, blood pressure, and atherosclerosis).[2] Omega-6 and GLA from Hemp. Marijuana as a medicine has been part of the Human pharmacology throughout recorded history,  it was described in a Chinese medical compendium considered to date from 2737 BC, it has been shown to treat or have benefits in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Breast cancer, HIV/AIDS, Brain cancer, Opioid dependence, Spasticity in multiple sclerosis, Glaucoma, Indigestion, Insomnia and many other common afflictions. [3]

Marijuana can be argued to be the most important plant in Christendom, as it is the active ingredient in the Holy Anointing Oil used to anoint those risen Priesthood. It is also to be used to sanctify the Alter and all implements therein. To become the “Christ” Jesus had to be covered in Anointing Oil until it dripped from his garments. Marijuana was used by the Scythians, Sadhus, Rastafari, Hebrews, Muslims, Chinese wu “shamans”, Germanic pagans, Hindus and many other religious sects throughout recorded history. [4][5]


The only seriously harmful effects of using marijuana are those that come from being arrested for using, growing or selling it. The only reasons to keep marijuana Illegal are to create more prisoners to feed a vast prison system and to protect the market share for synthetic fibers.
