So, i've been a little annoyed by something for a while. Been several years really.
When i've been to the potshops, or bought concentrates on the streets, for years now, it's been manufactured stuff. Not actual extracts, And most people seem to have not even noticed, but ive been fairly certain the products are off.
I have a perfect visual aid now to help me explain though.
So, i have made literal pounds of extracts at this point myself. Properly vacuumed purged, more strains then i could ever bother recalling. And not once has it ever turned out like this always yellow, always similar tasting, always same high wax that goes around and out the dispensaries at such cheap prices, often as low as 10/g? I mean, it has come close, sometimes, but not every single batch of every single strain....
How can an 8th of good flower that wont even quite produce a gram of wax by itself more expensive then the wax made from the plant?
It's not because they used trim or whatever, or shake to make it. It's because that wax isnt real plant extract.
I have some 99.5% thc-a diamons that are so pure they look like meth and crumble into a powder. They were synthesized from CBD into pure thc-a. You can order this stuff legally online from any number of suppliers in basically any state. I went down to the corner indian market the other day and bought a half gram dart of "Bana OG" terpines for $8.99
I crushed up 2 grams of purified synthetic thc-a crystal into powder, and emulsified it into the half gram of banana OG terpines.
And then i had 2.5G of dabs literally identical to 90% of the "concentrates" on the market. There is a big difference, in market, between advertising with the term "extracts" vs the term "concentrates" lmao.
Just had the thought that i should make a post about this before it's all dabbed up. Although im probably going to make some more very soon, i have plenty of this purified thc-a lmao.
May make a thread on it when i do. Take extra pics and stuff.
pure thc-a crystal synthesized from CBD on left. Dirt cheap even by the gram. And on the right, after having been mixed with Banana OG terpines post-crush. Dabs great, had the idea to do this to enhance flavor, and help it stick to a dab tool. But it's actually identical to most the cheap dabs on the market lmao
Like i said, ive had the hunch for years, but I am now convinced, beyond a shadow of any doubt, that the majority of people dabbing on concentrates dont actually realize they are dabbing on intentionally misrepresented, predominantly synthetic, completely manufactured cannabis products. I consider this the work of charlatans personally. Even my own local guy admits after i questioned pretty heavily, that he's just ordering synthetic THC-a crystals and making stickers himself for the containers lmao.
don’t worry I won’t post his picture 
comes to mind:
