I still prefer not to use mold or mildew material, but after reading for a while everyone except the real hash snobs say ice water extraction is fine, as the desired material sinks, and the mold/mildew float etc.........
A good idea? Probably better to try not to
Acceptable? Definatly more than making edibles.
So...Sorry
That being said.........
The quality and quantity of the THC is determined by the
quality and potency of the starting material. The final product from very strong cannabis material
contains a much higher percentage of THC than the final product from marijuana or hashish that is
less potent. The quality of the THC and the characteristics of the effect (high) are
determined by the relative positions of the double bonding in the THC molecule. The
higher-rotating forms are more potent than the low-rotating and produce a higher, more
psychedelic and spiritual effect. Methods for converting THC from low-to-high-rotating
follow.
The quantity of cannabidiol in the material is important, as it may be converted to THC,
thereby increasing the potency of the stuff proportionally. Experience has indicated that the
quantity of cannabidiol is usually at least equal to the quantity of THC. Because of this,
the strength of the material can be at least doubled through isomerization, and in some cases
potency may be increased five to six times.
By using the correct things and methods to convert the cannabidiol to THC, it is
possible simultaneously to convert the THC (that which occurs naturally in the stuff and
also that which has been produced from cannabidiol) to higher-rotating forms. The
highest benefit is obtained by starting with material high in cannabidiol, isomerizing the
cannabidiol to THC, and converting the THC to its higher-rotating form. Both the
potency of the stuff and the quality of the high are greatly increased.
