      Dry herb vaporizers*

      You don't know what stuff companies are putting in that oil. Vaporizer pure flower

        Yeah fuck this disposable nonsense. Dry herb vapes rule. They're fun over a long vape session and you get a lot more weed for your money.

          And it decarbs your weed for you, so you can then infuse the avb with oil + water for a few hours and have cannabutter

            I really need to learn how to do this, I've had zero success

              From fresh ground bud decarb for 35 minutes at 230F in the oven. Put it on a baking sheet with parchment paper and stir every 10 minutes so everything is equally toasted. Then in a sauce pan mix equal parts butter or any fatty oil with water (if you're using vegan butter, then that should already have enough water, so add none or very little), raise temperature to 150-200F, and stir in weed. Stir buttery weed mixture every 20ish minutes for the next 3-4 hours, tho I've seen people infuse it for 8 -24 hours for supposedly more potency. A cheesecloth or a very fine metal mesh strainer will get the leftover weed chunks out

              And if you have avb from a vape, then you can skip the decarb process in the oven and go straight into infusing it with oil

                Awesome, great guide! How long after saving AVB does it go bad / get moldy? Like if I'm collecting this stuff for a week, am I looking at problems?

                  I would personally recommend making a tincture instead of cannabutter as it will have an effectively infinite shelf life and you will be able to add it to more stuff (or just take drops of it). It's not much more difficult to make than cannabutter and it's way more versatile.

                  Put it in something airtight and it should last years. I've gotten a high on year old avb turned into edibles

        i mean you can make your own if you'd like, iirc it's not too complicated or difficult

        I'm with you 100%. Also, purely anecdotal old hippie bullshit, but I don't like the high I get from carts. I'm sure it's just me forcing myself to believe it, but I feel like I can notice something synthetic about it. Regular old weed for me, thank you.

          i wouldn't be surprised if it's some combo of semi-synthetic or fully synthetic cannabinoids. you can buy bulk scary synthetics from india/china or get cheaper hemp derived semi-synthetics and let capitalism do it's magic.

        The good ones will list test results of their shit on the product page.

          Yep, and the really good ones will provide batch codes linking you to the testing for your specific batch. They test for the same types of common contaminants (e.g. solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, etc.) as say, nebulizer medication
