Just FYI, this is the next experiment on my list.
I do brix testing on my plants and it's always amazed me at the amount of liquid that I will squeeze out of a single leaf with a simple pair of vice grips and a little home made press setup.
And, lately, I have been doing some reading about the terpenes and what role they play in our overall game.
And, I wondered about "juicing" a while back.
So, all this has been on my mind for some time.
Thus far, the very first question I plan to answer in my experiment is.... Is all that moisture that I am squeezing/juicing/pressing out of the leaves mostly just water? Or, is it actually water WITH much of the trics.
If 1 is yes then..... are those trics mature and useful? Else, is the moisture useful?
I guess I should squeeze a fresh green bud to see what I get. I've always done leaves. I still have not tried a standard juicer but I have to believe that it would be much more efficient than just about any press setup I can think of. However, I also have access to a multi-ton hydraulic press so if I can build the box... he can press it for me. LOL Unfortunatly, my Juiceman juicer is dead MIA so I'll have to pick one up before I start testing.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just dab a little perfume (made from cannabis terpenes and THC) and enjoy a wonderful aroma all day while we absorb the THC/CBD for the buzz/relief?
Hey, it could happen.....LMAO
Yeah, and I claim that I don't get high. You have to be high to think up stuff like this. LOL
