Marijuana loses potency when it is ground up.
No pot smoker would buy marijuana that is not fresh & the buds intact.
MaryJane loses potency when ground up you say? Not a problem to those determined to get their ‘fair share’ of THC. There are many pills, mucous membrane sprays, chewing gums, ointments, and The Mother’s Earth Big Pot Recipe Book. There are Time Release Brownie mixes. Some of these desserts and concoctions have been around for decades, just sort of behind the scenes, for various and sundry purposes.
All this will be regulated and taxed. There will be roughshod confiscations for unlicensed producers, such as those raids on farms today for the heinous crime of selling raw milk.
I’m actually kind of glad I didn’t know that.
LOL.
YOu see in all the film in denver pot houses how they pick the buds up with tweezers. Don’t want to lose the oils that make kind bud so kind.
A grinder with a keif (sp?) catcher is apparently the way to go. Grind only what you intend to smoke in the moment, no loss of freshness plus you catch the crystals that we all used to leave on the insides of our album covers.
