Created a new weed recycling program tonight. I made my tincture as usual with about 3/4 oz of decarbed, ground bud and half a pint of everclear. After squeezing the last of the juice through the coffee filter with my rubber gloves on, I saved the damp golden/green powder. I kept it wadded up in the filter, still resting in the funnel, in the fridge. So I made a coffee mug cake and subbed one Tbsp of almond flour with one Tbsp of the tincture powder and HOLY FUCK am I stoned. And I've got enough for like ten more doses. Whenever I thought I was wasting something useful by not just smoking the weed and knowing I'm getting it all, I was right. I could probably cook it in butter and strain it again. There's got to be some compounds that don't like to mix with alcohol but do with fat. They're slightly different highs. But I don't mind just eating the plant matter in the cake. It's not gritty or anything. I remember some old school pot brownie recipes that didn't bother with decarbing and butter extraction and all that. Back in the days of 'lids' of stuff that was packed in bricks, stems, seeds, leaves and all. They just made "flour" out of that in the same way I do and used in in the mix. Between the heat and the fat in the recipe, the magic happened. I've eaten those kind and while they're crumbly and kind of gross sometimes, they kick your ASS. And it's easy to choke them down when you're excited for the effects. Obviously black market shit from years ago that would never be sold in any respectable dispensary. But it was so much more fun back then. It made scoring some really amazing weed all the more satisfying. There were long periods of steady connections to the chronic, then there were droughts where no one seemed to know where to find any. Eventually I was plugged in enough and lived and worked in an area where that just wasn't a problem anymore. But until legalization of rec weed you couldn't guarantee yourself great stuff. Usually your connections would be consistent and reliable. But the stars didn't always align and you might have had to settle for mids or schwag even. This was rare though. Now all the weed is great. Some batches are just drier or less crystalized. Weed that makes it to the showroom is never just garbage. I've seen some sad stuff with little popcorn nugs and stems galore, but it's still over 20% THC and kicks your ass. So there was stickier, brighter green weed back in the day that didn't have half the strength of the shittiest weed you can even find for $20/oz. That's what's weird. That's what's weird. I got one of those stoned moments where I have a loop in my head tripping me out: 'that's what's weird', 'that's what's weird'. It's smashed together and even my thoughts are stumbling over it as if my mouth were having the problem. That green dragon byproduct slightly boozy wet weed grounds cake is fucking with my world right now. I need some eyedrops and water and laying down.
