Is " trim" what we used to (in the 70's) call shake?
:gaah: All these new words, but perhaps same stuff/improved version gets a new name?
I go back to the college days to nomenclature of old (70's/early 80's) and need a primer! (lol, we need an emoticon with a person walking with a cane!)
"4 finger bag" which had lots of stems and excelled if it had a bud or two in it! ( I excelled when I could say in math class that one ounce was approx. 28 grams :giggle
hash (now kinda sorta dabs are better)
MDA (now is called Ecstasy)
etc. etc.
Guess it's like corporate america... gotta improve the product, and give it a new name to show new and improved?
Yes, more or less. When they harvest the cannibis, nowadays, they generally cut off the biggest fan leaves first. Those leaves are trash. It is then trimmed of stems and the smaller, "bud leaf". That bud trim is covered in the crystals of THC that are removed to make the concentrate, the hash oil, either by butane, dry ice (CO2), heat and/or silkscreen and pressure.
The bud trim has little or no street value until it is made into concentrate. It was often thrown in the trash until the wax craze took off. In CA, a pound of trim now goes for $100-300, compared to $2000-3000 for a pound of buds.
It takes about a pound of trim to make an ounce of oil, or wax. An ounce of cheap oil goes for about $300 wholesale, on the low end, and can be resold for $20-50 a gram.
If they were using butane, it is about $25 a case and she would need a couple of cases, at least. Butane should never be processed indoors, that's how people blow up the house from one little spark, but risky kids sometimes use a fan by a door or window, not realizing butane is heavy and accumulates at the ground level. It would take at least an hour for two people to run the butane and then another hour to evaporate the butane enough to get hash oil, called BHO, for butane hash oil. That's not counting the prep time to set up the process.
If she wasn't using the butane method, it is even more time consuming. Someone posted a hair flatiron method, that would take forever to make an ounce of product. That is more for the do-it-yourselfer, it's not a viable commercial method.
From the hash oil, there are several methods to create different products, like, shatter or honeycomb, they are all time consuming.
That's why people pay someone else to sit and process for hours, it is not fun, it is work.
Maybe they had a professional tool to speed things up, or someone loaned them one, like you can see at these links.
They seem expensive but sometimes a group of people will go in together, and share. Or, maybe the adult uncle loaned it out?
Or, maybe it's the mystery person that is mentioned in the arrest affidavit, that was with the suspect at the first meeting, when KC ran away, we don't know who that person is nor their role in this crime. Maybe they loaned processing equipment.
