If we had a booth at a cannabis event with a "medicating area" where people had the proper legal qualifications we definitely would be giving out free dabs.

I've used both but I prefer passive recovery. Less machinery and moving parts, less chance of oil getting in the oil, no chance of the machinery breaking down or wearing out. I love the SweetLeaf Extractor, out of everything I've used it works the best. However, We had one custom built by a gas specialist and his team of engineers because it has passed all permit requirements and is one of three systems we can use in Colorado.

I think they all have their place. As a hashmaker I don't like The Clear though. It looks amazing, and some batches taste really good, but it also tastes artificial because the terpenes/flavor are not from cannabis.

Water hash I don't think is a trend, it's been around forever. I do see the craft getting better and better though. Everyone has their preference in the end, and I love water hash and smoke quite a bit of it. I honestly don't like dabbing it though and would prefer to smoke it in a joint.

You might be surprised to know that I smoke about 80% flower and only 20% concentrates.

Yes... every single batch is "lung labbed," and several batches a month are tested at a local lab. While operational we were doing 15 tests a month. Now we're going to have to do a whole lot more because of regulations.

It's essentially the same high, you just smoke a whole lot less to get there. And because you're inhaling less smoke it's more of a clear headed, and usually more of a "buzzy" high. But it is somewhat strain dependent too. An extract made from Haze would be an extremely energizing to the point of inducing panic in some people. A high CBD strain would be felt more in the body. A strain high in the terpene mercene like Afghan Kush would be more sedative.

If you're going to try dabbing don't let some asshole give you a huge one. Try one very small, like half the size of a teardrop. No need to hold it in for more than a second. Also know what you're smoking and listen to your senses. If it looks bad, smells, bad, tastes bad, or feels bad it's not good hash. Not any worse than a vicodin but not as effective and enjoyable as well made hash.

Quality of course comes into play here too.
