Really, and just how much more than any other weed does it cost to grow

This has become my question when people are trying to justify the price. It’s funny cuz the people I deal with can’t seem to wrap their head around it. My best dude always has variety, he has all this popular shit that goes for 200/oz. Gelato, wedding cake, etc. BUT he has what he calls his “west coast” stuff that he is really proud of. 350+/oz. never has a name, just west coast. Lol. He knows to not even mention that to me cuz he knows how crazy that is.

Okay okay...as much as we hate new people, I will say that when I used to buy edibles as a novelty back when going to dispensaries was still kinda fun, Korova was a solid company. They made a 1000mg brownie that would give you a nice weed hangover the next morning. Better than the rest of the brands I had tried.

My 1000mg brownies put you into outer space. Ive only ever known one person that enjoys eating that much.

Well, Now you've met another.

But we havent actually met and you havent eaten one of mine. My brownies are made from well cured trim and i do an alcohol extraction so lookin at 90%+ purity. So you are getting the most mature thc- already looking at a heavy body high- and then eating it.... o boy.

Its an alcohol extraction ran through coffee filter at -20 degrees. Ive never heard anyone say they have had stronger oil. I think 90% is a pretty good guess.

Without analysis, it is only a guess.

When you give the drug content as 1000 mg, you are implying four significant figures. That equates to a tolerance of plus-minus 0.1%. When I taught, I hammered my students for sloppy sig figs. You would not have liked my lab course.

Back when I had access, I tested a sample of very pure fresh decarbed extract by gravimetric analysis. (Weigh the input extract on a precise balance, perform a column chromatography with each fraction validated by tlc, evaporate the pure fractions, weigh the water-clear THC using the same balance.)
My result was 89% drug content.

The commercial labs use GC or LC (high-resolution gas or liquid chromatography with spiffy UV detectors) which gets you a third sig fig.

Bottom line is: guesswork is just that. You’ve not even got two sig figs because ... guess.

That could very plausibly make for an 820-milligram brownie.

You are correct. Either way 820 isnt that far off from 1000. I dont have access to the equipment to get exact numbers.

Not to be pedantic but isn't that a tincture and not an oil?

I evaporate all the alcohol out. Its like using butane but much safer and less meth-labey.

Depending on your diluent you can then make an oil with significant alcohol et al contaminants if you did not vac purge. Then again this is not my terminal degree. Let's ask @cannabineer

PS If you don't vac purge I'd encourage you to do your extraction with a food grade etoh. I'm glad you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

PPS If @Metasynth ever offers you a dab just say no! LOL the time I took one I was taking 2 grams of edible a day and smoking constantly. Still 1 dab sent me catatonic for over an hour.
