Some of the marijuana products sold by Southern California stores and delivery services are loaded with banned toxic chemicals that could make you sick, according to an NBC4 I-Team investigation. “You're talking respiratory disease, cancer,” Patel told the I-Team.

The I-Team bought marijuana cartridges used for vaping, and flower used for smoking, from 24 shops and delivery services and had them tested by Brightside Scientific for all banned pesticides. Many of those businesses told I-Team shoppers their products were safe. ”Yeah, they’re pesticide free,” an I-Team shopper was told by the saleswoman at Burdank, a dispensary on Burbank Boulevard in North Hollywood, where we bought two vape cartridges under the brand name Dank Tank.

But lab tests showed those cartridges contained numerous banned pesticides, including myclobutanil, a pesticide that the manufacturer said become poisonous hydrogen cyanide when it’s heated up, which is what happens when smoking or vaping the pot. Neither Burdank or Dank Tank responded to our requests for comment.

Seven of the 24 samples purchased by NBC4, or nearly 30 percent, tested positive for pesticides. That means they fail to comply with state regulations for safe pot.

In 2017, the I-Team first tested pot from Southern California dispensaries and found 93 percent of the samples tested positive for pesticides.

In its new investigation, the I-Team found that all contaminated pot samples it purchased came from stores and delivery services that turned out to be operating illegally at the time of sale; they didn’t have the required licenses, according to the LAPD and the BCC.

The I-Team found all the dispensaries and delivery services on the popular website Weedmaps. Neither Weedmaps nor the businesses tested would talk to the I-Team.

The LAPD tells NBC4 there are about 175 licensed, legal pot shops in the city, and another 350 that are unlicensed.

Guys correct me if im wrong but if your doing short path distillation you can use whatever starting material. Ive been told doesnt matter if its moldy and your dog ate it and shit it out. All that comes out is damn near pure cbd at certain atmospheric pressure and certain temp.
I do now they are using something with a bunch of tanks and shit, it's not anything I've ever heard of before!

You have to be pretty "precise" with the temps to "isolate" CBD and THC.
I do a cold Ethanol extraction (more THC/CBD isolated) and a warm (full spectrum) extraction.
There is an "art" to making extracts.
Oh, and never "freeze" your fresh weed if you are planning on making THC-A bubble hash..

You are not wrong if it is being done correctly. Unless toxins from mold come off at the exact temps of a targeted substance there should be zero contamination. THC has a boiling point of 157c, CBD is between 160-180c, CBN at 185c,and so on. Terpenes have similar collection temps.
This phenomenon is why when you run some shine, you chuck the first bit, the foreshots, Keep to redistill the second bit, the heads. Jug up the third bit, the hearts, and keep to redistill the tails. The foreshots has the shit that'll make you go blind in it.
As you run a still, you don't want it to increase in heat to rapidly, you want the mixture to be cooled by the vapors leaving it so it will rest at the boiling point of whatever is coming off for a while until that part finishes and you'll see the temp increase to the next substances boiling point. It gives you the distinct and separate product you are looking for.
It's legal to own a still in my state and you can produce ethanol for fuel legally as long as it doesn't leave your property without being denatured. I like to store my lawnmower fuel with some charred white oak.

Sorted by size, resin heads. Still intact and not hand worked yet. I try to keep temps below 50 degrees F when fooling with kief or anything. You want the resin to be firm or the glands bust and you start losing aroma.
Back in 2000-2004 I worked at a silk screen shop and made a couple screens to collect kief and wasn't aware of the do's and don'ts. We'd rub buds up and down the screen and all sorts of no nos but that shit was enough to knock out any of the "I can smoke all day" cats back then.

I remember rolling a blunt of my strong ass blueberry laced with kief from the buds. I took it to band practiced that night and I warned everyone that this was some strong shit. Everyone was like "ya ya bro fire it up, we'll smoke that shit down to a roach!"

Lol. After half the blunt every single one of the 7 or 8 people were like "I'm good dude, I'm fucked up"

That hash hit them hard as fuck! We didn't do too much practicing that night, lol.

Lady bugs facts
Their squeal-inducing adorable coloration has particularly dark origins. Ladybugs are still quite small, and despite their armor, are no match for even more badass predators like birds and larger insects. So, through the wonderful ingenuity of evolution, ladybugs and their relatives have developed a potent deterrent from being gobbled up, and their bright colors serve as a warning and reminder of this capacity. Mechanical stimulation, like from a predator attack (or, you know, a human finger) releases a reflexive outpouring of alkaloid toxins from every joint and crevice in its exoskeleton. The toxins are incredibly bitter tasting, and the “goal” is that the ladybug is spat out so it can continue its merry life of slaughtering ‘lesser’ insects. Some can apparently even spray this shit when threatened, poisoning small mammals. So don’t let your hamster play in the garden. It’s thought that just being around these things can be hazardous, as in large enough numbers, they’ve been shown to aggravate allergies and asthma in humans. Ladybugs are not only homicidal maniacs, they also are walking dirty bombs.
