Intros New here, but old in the scene.

I think there was a case reported on here where the presser won in court, if so it's fine to press our MC bud.

As someone who is working very closely with MHRA and home office, I find this quite hard to believe, but also nothing surprises me. I’ve had a little hunt on legal forums for this, but cant find anything. Have you any links you can find??

You can quite often get let off a case, in terms of outcomes but they may still find you guilty of a crime, if one had been committed. And in that case, one definitely was committed.

By the way, me stating facts, does mean I agree with said laws etc. I’m just starting what is law etc. I wish for everyone to be able to grow, vape, smoke what they can with cannabis. Totally wish I wasn’t having to go into the big pharma industry to do so. Which is why the Dutch opportunity is appealing, as it’s not at all big pharma, but it’s rec, not medical. But please don’t take that as I don’t feel it should be legal rec users. I just believe firmly, that is true med users deserve better.

If a lot of this stuff wasn’t so old it would be good, the death bubba is actually some of the best grown bud I’ve seen in a while, and I get to see A LOT…. but I do also know of some very exciting stuff coming to uk medical, so do be excited for the future. I mean look at where we are now compared to a few years back. And then 8 years back. No legal at all… so… it’s evolving, and faster than I actually ever thought it would in my life time.

Hey guys, sorry was away for the weekend getting a facility running as it should be, all good now.

Ok, cryo curing etc. to be honest, it’s not something I’ve looked into a lot, mainly because the science of drying and curing imo, is such that you are doing it slowly to utilise enzymatic activity in the drying flower to help drive out chlorophyll, sugars and to bind the water content. This is why I use dedicated drying rooms etc in my facilities . I like to dry at 55/55 or sometime a bit cooler and lower rh, but you need very well built rooms and spec’d equipment to manage these latent loads at low temp, which is why most opt for 60/60 drying, it’s pretty much near perfect and achievable to most dedicated dry rooms. This is why I do whole plant hangs, aim for 10-14 days before I trim and then it goes into cure puck sealed containers to cure, in the same environment. Normally takes about another 10 days and the bud that comes out is perfect… like marshmallow. You can squeeze it and it’s bounces back, no crumble, you can leave out in dry environment and it won’t get over dry same you can leave in high humidity and it won’t such up moisture, because over the space of the time in the cure puck sealed containers, it’s bound the moisture to the plant cells,

So there is my issue with cryocuring. I do know that some companies are using Harvest rights and other non appropriate devices and of course ruining buds. I need to talk to me mate at glass again and see what he’s saying about it.

In terms of extractions etc, I have just spent the last 10 years building and running closed loops for various growers and extractors around uk and Europe. You may well have dabbed some of my products. But I’m a firm believer in bho. I don’t personally believe rosin at the price it is, is appropriate for the uk medical market, but it also not likely to get a license for use as yet in any other form than a rosin cart. I honestly don’t think we’ll see dabbable cannabis products on the medical market in uk.

In terms of any company I set up and work for, a big portion of work will be towards pushing for right to grow. This is no way would affect legal medical market in terms of sales from big legal ops. Plenty of people want to use cannabis, but have no interest in growing it, or haven’t the space or ability.

Perfect response and your correct alot of people are new to the market and is projected to boom as expected so room for everyone to earn a buck and GYO.

Traditional cure all the way. Bho will always be king with effects and base terpenes and there is a noticible difference with flower rosin and hash rosin but i will stick with flower for now.

Don’t worry my finger has been well and truly pulled out for some time.. it’s happening man. don’t worry.

I was joking mate, it's about time more people like you me and everyone else had better quality MC and at affordable prices, especially people who can't afford the MC route. I've seen people resort back to Street Cannabis because of the quality and pricing. It makes a lot more sense to better MC to get these people back on the wagon again and some new ones. I go for MC because I need to drive from time to time and I think most people are in the same position as me, we make do. Your MC docs don't want to hear that your own grown meds are better than MC so it's a bit of a battle from the start trying to get better affordable MC. It needs more people like yourself to help us to get this difference as we as patients don't know any better do we. I've used Cannabis for 45yrs on and off moreso since 2011/12 and it would be excellent to bring MC up a notch or two

I heard something too that it was ok and if you smoked it, I wouldn't recommend this being a smoker for 50yrs on and off though, I now have necrosis in my toes and hope anyone who does smoke who are a lot younger than me or anyone else for that matter tries there best to change to vaping as this will happen to you eventually. It's taken me over 12mths to do so. I believe diet and nano plastics have played a part too.

Well there may or may not be a market for legal MC rosin carts, but if you want something that is rosin based and legal, that is currently the only route you can go.

Yes of course you can press your own, but this would of course be illegal in the same way that smoking your prescription is also illegal.

And if you enjoy dry flower rosin, that’s great, but there wouldn’t be much of a market I don’t believe for dry flower rosin.

Feel I have to ask here who and where does it say pressing your own rosin is illegal as it's not covered by an act of law and a member of the public recently had their press returned after a court case and while smoking is mentioned in law ( as in if you were pulled over driving)pressing your medication certainly isn't so I certainly don't feel I'm breaking the law and the press has removed the need to pay for expensive rosin on MC and legally until proven otherwise is my understanding. Maybe clinic's may try to paint this picture about pressing but I don't think it is illegal as it is still vaped .

Agreed, I was trying to find a link to the case or where it was mentioned here for nick marsh. I know it was not long ago and we were all pressing here when it was posted.
