Butane hash and high metal content/toxins debunked..

This can be researched further from his website but here is a quick dash of info.... For everyone worried about this, you can relax now! I always questioned the truth in it having metals and/or toxins and now know. Dr.Hornby says it himself, there is nothing more pure!!



According to Dr Paul Hornby, a chemist and plant analyst who runs a company (www.hedron.ca) that tests cannabis products for purity and potency, "Budder is the cleanest, most potent cannabis product I've ever tested."
Marijuana contains various cannabinoids, Hornby explains, with THC usually predominant. Hemp has barely a percent or two of THC. The best dried marijuana bud generally maxes out at about 27% THC. Sieved hashish averages about 45% THC. Bubblehash averages about 53% THC. Solvent-extracted products usually have more THC than bud, water hash or sieved hash, but none have tested as high as Budder, and Hornby says Budder is further distinguished because it does not contain any heavy metals, radioactivity, or other markers associated with inferior fertilizers used on source bud.
"The top Budder sample was 99.6% pure," Hornby explained, "which means if you had an ounce of it, only a tiny fraction of a gram would be anything other than cannabinoids. We also tested Budder for toxins, solvents, molds, diseases, heavy metals and other contaminants. There were none. It's essentially just pure cannabinoids. I've tested a lot of cannabis materials, but this is the most impressive."
Hornby's tests also found Budder contains 80 to 90% of its cannabinoids as THC. It contains much smaller percentages of two other cannabinoids: cannabidiol and cannabinol. Of these two, cannabidiol (CBD) is most important because it has medicinal effects and moderates the stimulative effects of THC.

So budder is BHO?? Great read, by the way. I like my dry sieved the best, because I can put it in the vaporizer. But I do love hash oil!!

There are few different methods to use to change the fluidity of oil extracted from butane. You can get wax, budder, glass or plain old honey oil. It all comes down to what you do with the oil after you extract it.

I got nothing but love and respect for all you Colorado forum people, so I am definitely not trying to start any arguments, but unless my memory is failing me I seem to recall reading somewhere else that the "budder" being described in the Dr. Hornsby article was not a BHO product, but rather a CO2 extraction that was then further refined somehow..
I could be wrong but I'll try and look up that conversation about this "budder" not being a BHO product (obviously I realize that "budder" is a common name for whipped-up BHO....but I think the Hornsby article is talking about something different..)
I have to run out of town for the day but I'll see if I can't find any info to back my ass up tonight....
Peace yall!

Well if the tests are referring to the Budder made by BudderKing (which it seems like they are), then it was alcohol extraction, not butane. However, the article isn't very clear. Also, indi, CO2 is a (non-polar) solvent too, just like butane, alcohol, etc.

Yep, this is what I was remembering. The budder made by BudderKing is not BHO which makes sense just looking at the cannabinoid levels- I've never seen BHO at the 98% level although maybe I am wrong on that too...maybe BHO does reach that level.
Thanks for clarifying that for me CAS.

There are still alot of forums that call BS on the whole 98% level. Everyone says more like 89% or less.

I wanted to try the c02 method but i heard its expensive as fuck....... Sigh in due time

You should see how much the systems are!!! From what i understand, you have to have a type of permit to even get one?? That or a ton of money!

The testing he did with budder king was the best he had ever tested he said in the earlier article and that was alcohol. He also stated that they did tests on several different solvents with similar results and that they had other labs run the same tests to collaborate results which were all pretty much the same.

My thought is, how did they get the consistency with a ISO?? No matter what I have tried with ISO extract, it is always a mess. How did this guy get it to be budder???

Yeah, I have iso extract and it is nothing like budder. It is extremely dark and viscous. I wonder if I can play with it a bit and turn it into a budder :)

Like 40k+ and you'll likely end up on a gov watch list as it can be used to make mustard gas and other chemical agents, but yeah that would be nice to have.

man wax certainly has left straight bud damn near worthless to me. Glad to hear the butane extraction is nice and clean.
40k for co2 extraction eh? no thanks , I'll do the 1200 bux on a tamisium before I'd do that.
