I Plead Da Fif

Yesterday it finally happened. I was able to purchase some Rosin from the most highly sought after manufacturer of Rosin in the state of Colorado and California. Meet 710 Labs. They sell their Hash by tiers. Those are both Tier 3 as seen on the right hand side. They have 4 tiers, 4 being the lowest. In general tiers are a combo of how high of a yielder the plant is and how good the flavor is. Persy means Personal Stash, or a higher shelf version of the same tier. Like the top 10-20% of that harvest for that cultivar. Ended up totally lucking out. Just randomly checked a dispo’s online menu that I frequent for top shelf flower and they were available for purchase in their online store and sold out within 30 minutes of me buying mine with absolutely no announcement. Crazy. The flavor is good. I will reserve judgement until I’ve tried Tier 1’s and some crystal water hash where the flavor is supposed to be out of this world. The high is fantastic though, on both. I can honestly say it’s better than the Allgreens I’ve had in terms of just how hard it hits you. I will be checking out Lazercat, Mountain Select and Olio in future hash adventures.

Yeah what Thunderlounge said and I also dab a good amount. I really enjoy it all, so I’ll often work my way up to dabbing from flower throughout the day.

I’ll remember that if I ever see it. Sounds like a fun one and that terp profile when done well is so fire.

Congratulations! I can’t imagine how fulfilling that must be.

Have been trying out a new rosin place. You’d walk right by it trying to find it your first time. Small batch outfit putting out a really high quality product for a fair price. I picked up a couple regular live SHO’s earlier this week, but was too quick to try to take pics. I ended up finding out about their 2nd Press. It doesn’t look as light as the 1st press, but damn is it an amazing value. $31 OTD during their Happy Hour for 2nd Press vs $45 for live SHO. They apparently only squeeze out a couple of extra grams of second press, so it’s not like it’s not flavorful.

Right on. Same here. 15 years smokin or so. I’m not in an individual contributor role, so I don’t get to work from home stoned, but I probably still smoke 2-4 J’s at night. On the weekends though I’m probably burning 4-8 J’s a day. A half ounce in a weekend is not that hard for me to smoke lol.

I think Wedding Cake may be a specific pheno of Pink Cookies. Dude probably has some beans from a different pheno. Mind me asking how much you smoke a day? Always curious to hear.

The counter intuitive comment was really born out of an outsider looking in saying “aren’t you just trying to get high? I don’t think I could even do those maths!” As an engineer, the precision and accuracy being an important aspect of a plant and hobby that I love I think is really cool and probably yet another reason why I love it without consciously thinking about it. Regarding the CBD, what I’ve found is if I’m 3-4 hours into a sizable edible dose (>= 100mg), and I take what I now consider a booster 20mgTHC/20mgCBD gummy or 2, the high definitely changes a bit and gets reinvigorated with the CBD in the form of a very very nice body high. I don’t do this at the beginning because I don’t want to go to sleep and I only really do this when I’m taking edibles at night, but it is really nice. They say CBD is much more effective in concert with THC and I believe it, because if I take THC free CBD on its own, I get anti anxiety properties, but not a ton of pain killing at the doses I take. This is almost like the age old trick to drink orange juice toward the tail end of your trip, but works even better toward the body high end. I agree using up valuable plant space on something that doesn’t get you that high is hard to swallow. CBD can be fairly inexpensive these days if you went for a pure powder and somehow returned it to oil form. I don’t know specifics, but I think quite a few concentrate companies in CO do this in what they call a sap (combine a strain’s extract and the CBD extract from hemp)

Nice bro! I ended up breaking my dab rig a couple weeks ago. Have a new one coming in tomorrow. Pretty stoked!

So counterintuitive considering the subject, but I too appreciate the maths and precision required to get the desired doses. Your edible micron taste is more strict than many people’s smoke! haha This past weekend I set a new personal “high score” of consuming about 250mg. Got this 1000 mg S’mores bar. So tasty. I was quite a bit more high than say taking 150, but I don’t know if it was any more enjoyable. I get way more quiet when I’m super high. That said, I’ve found taking CBD toward the tail end of my edible high to be a game changer. The sleep is great, but honestly the body high gets really really strong. At the tail end of 250? Like a very strong opiate. Stronger than a few Vicodin. Now I know why it’s such an effective medicine for many people.

I actually had about half an inch of the pasta sticking out or more. Basically worked as a joint tip with about a half inch wrapped under paper the other half not under paper.

An unsuspecting joint tip or filter? A piece of pasta. Rolled up a fatty with a piece of penne as my tip. Working pretty damn well.

Haha. I’ve done that much before, or right around there. I still smoked 2 J’s and had a few dabs. I actually put together the final printed out paperwork to file by mail our taxes an hour or more after consumption. I was mostly coherent lol. I still haven’t ever had so much THC in edible form that I’ve been overwhelmed. I know people here in CO that take 500mg-1000mg at once. Insane. I may try 200 this weekend.

A cure for the Monday Blues! I’ve never had it before, but just ate the whole thing. About to blast off.

Gotcha. So what you’re making is actually not live then, not that I’m trying to diminish the amazing education you’re dropping and hobbies were living vicariously through. I can’t say this enough. Thank you for sharing! What defines it being “live”, I believe, is that you flash freeze plants right after chop and then either run through your solvent extraction machine or your water hash (or press if you go straight to pressing) fresh frozen. Here, non-live (usually shatter or wax) is around $15 a g. Live Resin anywhere between $25-40. Live Rosin anywhere between $35-80. “Live” anything vs “non-live” is basically the difference between eating a fresh vs dried strawberry. The fresh/live maintains much more flavor.

So you’re using Rosin and Resin somewhat interchangeably, but I thought what you’re making is Rosin, or solventless extract. In CO solventless is much more expensive than BHO, or resin. I only buy live Resin in bulk usually at a savings (~$20/G) and will dabble some in Rosin. That said, Rosin, here in CO, is anywhere between $35 - $80. I mean for people with an insane hookup here in town I’ve heard 850-900 an o of solventless. Also are you paddling fresh plant when making Water Hash?

Drool. I had to pay a little under $300 for my just under half o of live resin last week. Livin the dream!

I've never heard of 710 day and i live in CO. It is nowhere near as big a deal as 420. Not even close. Okay I may have exaggerated the broadness, but as far as the discount in prices and deals it is as big of a deal.

What you are smoking is basically "dab" in a cartridge. Usually, a half gram in a cartridge costs about the same as a whole gram of concentrate. There are a wide array of vaporization devices these days that will allow you to drop a little bit of your concentrate in and then press a button. It's a lot easier and less crack head feeling than you may think. I say all of that and I own a vaporizer (Puffco Peak) and still want to get a "dab rig" for when I really want to blast off.

An alternative, albeit not the cheapest, is to buy 710 Labs carts. They’re proprietary and I just don’t see anyone faking their technology. Their pods are much less likely to malfunction. Their motto is “Quality Over Everything” and they live it. 710 labs is widely considered the best concentrate producer in CO, leading technological advancements in the solventless hash game, and seemingly they’ve been taking over Cali as well. They are so incredibly popular that they had a private list for the past couple years in CO and if you weren’t on the list you couldn’t buy. List has recently been killed. Their flower is considered the gold standard here. I have waited 2 and a half hours recently for the opportunity to buy a half oz of their bud of 1 strain but I was the first not to cop in line. They only had 41 half O’s at that drop. Some people get there 8-10 hours before open. I’m not kidding. And it’s not hyped like Cookies brand. I say all of that to say most of the time their cartridges are the last thing to go and you should be able to find them easily, because they are not as cost effective or most people want to drop their hash in a rig or a vaporizer. Last 710 Labs plug: they have one of the coolest IGs there is for weed nerds. Check out 710labsedu for everything flower and water hash related.

Hashy 710 Day to all of my fellow oilers! In Colorado 710 is almost as big of a deal as 420, especially when it comes to deals for concentrate and the rips passed around on IG. Why 710 you ask? Flip it upside down and it spells out oil!

Let’s get fucked up

Understandable. It took me a little while, but eventually you get the hang of it as with most everything. My lady much prefers the Puffco Peak over anything. With the Peak it takes a handful of easy non coughing drags on it and then you get pretty damn high. To her the opposite is true. Little to no coughing, only 2-5 drags or so on the Peak, and you’re as high as if you paired on a fat blunt and coughed on that thing.

To each his own, I suppose. I can see why “dabbing” has a “super pothead” connotation and is a detractor, but IMHO Rosin in a Puffco Peak or Focus Carta is about as clean and healthy as you can get smoking a weed product.

Dab that rosin my guy!!
