Cannabis Extraction Technician

[deadkndys]

Anyone know where you can get certified to become one? I am really interested in this field. If anyone knows of any places that certifies you it would be greatly appreciated.

I have found places that offer 2 day seminars that do certify you. But I would much rather go somewhere, where the course(s) are at least a few weeks long. I'm sure Oaksterdam is not the only place that offers this.

[Rosebud]

what kind of extraction are you interested in?

 

[kaotik]

probably best to just find a job somewhere they do this.

IMO it's kinda nice we're like the olden days with this industry.. where you can basically be an apprentice, instead of going to some ** school and getting some ** piece of paper.

actually get experience, not just book-smart.
*yeah i have a very negative opinion on post-secondary schooling. (though schooling in general sucks. we should not have private schools, just better public ones) such a farce IMO. sad that no post-secondary is basically equal to not finishing high-school these days. they conned us good.

I would assume a dispensary would rather hire someone who already knows how to operate a closed loop system. Rather then waste time training someone.

Yo Dead the O.F.C.? --Old Farts Club ! -- The reason Weed Hopper said talk to Keef was he know I'm working on THC e-cig liquid or Liquid Weed !-- Cuz --I don't think there is a school like that !--I need clean wax or shatter for my liquid weed !-- Super Critical CO2 Desk Top Hash Oil Extraction Machine !-- $3,500 --I'll have to teach myself everything !--Go to Skunk Pharm .com --Best source of info on extraction !--Looks like CO2 shatter is going to be the industry standard ! Best Wishes !-- I plan to grow the weed do the extract --turn in into Liquid Weed --package it and wholesale !--Do it right and U can't make enough !

 

[deadkndys]

Well I looked around and it seems the 2 day seminar would be my best option. At least this way I'll be familiar on how to operate a closed loop system and what not. Also prettty reasonable. 300-400 with a certificate.

@keef Cool man.how long did it take you too learn the process?

 

[Keef]

Dead I been chasing a THC e-cig liquid for about 2 years off and on !--- U can not get enough THC to disolve into a P.G. or V.G. base to get U high --Plain and simple !-and - Hash oil separates from the base !- Had to be another way found it at Skunk Pharm! --Have to homogenize it !--- I live in Texas where making an extract can get U 99 years in jail !-- So I don't know nothing about extracts ! When prohibition ends somebody got to make the stuff !--I don't want to compete with other extracting the same varieties !-- I'm chasing tetraploid weed like U.B.C. Chemo !--Trying to germinate one called Clock Work Orange ! --So for now I grow a little weed had a little schooling in the sciences and some practical experience! --I got this !--Just got to find one outstanding mutant !

aw man that depresses me..
one of the very few industries where experience trumps schooling.. and it looks like they're trying to change that.
so sad

*don't take that wrong; i wish you the best of luck.. that is seriously so depressing to me though.

Here in Colorado it is a felony to use solvents to extract trichs, without a M.I.P. license (marijuana infused product). You need $500,000 liquid just to get the license, plus you have to have an approved kitchen that is inspected regularly.

There is no legal blasting at home.

 

[Rosebud]

[AluminumMonster]
