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.

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.

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.

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.
