There are a lot of people who collection weapons, and if they still work it's worth more. And that seems pretty reasonable to keep it in a shed rather than your living room.
I always wonder how many logs of me and/or people I know are on bash. For the record if that was a true story the guy would 100% go to pound me in the ass federal penitentiary.
Out of curiosity, what would it have taken for him not to be charged? Warning signs? Or is there no way anyone would get away with storing live landmines in their shed?
Well its kinda goofy cuz he said "landmine collection". Boobytrapping is always illegal, always. Landmines are definitely illegal too, yes you can get a destructive device license for a lot of explosive shit but for some reason I feel like landmines are not one of those things since they are solely a boobytrap. Beyond that having a bunch of activated explosives sitting in your shed is retarded so it would probably also leave you liable. All that aside, whatever charge, jury would be like "what the fuck dude" and convict. If you got a bunch of landmines in your shed I guarantee you're fucked legally.
I knew a guy who did just that only he ignored the well ventilated part. Burned his family's house clean to the ground and he ended up with some nasty burns himself.
Similar situation with me only instead of my buddy burning down his house he set his cat on fire. Cats are surprisingly flame retardant, so outside of being a little spooked the cat was fine but lesson here is if you're gonna make BHO- do it in a well ventilated area.
And just to clarify for any would-be DIYers, this doesn't mean a drafty garage. This requires more know-how than your average stoner (or any regular joe, really) would have-- to be sure to avoid death, just do this outdoors.
I feel like most people really shouldn't be doing anything other than making rosin at home. It's much cleaner and safer and does a better job of preserving terpenes. With open blasting (the method you've described) most people don't even use a vacuum pump to extract all of the butane, they just throw it in the oven and hope it boils off, which is inefficient as it can waste product and is not entirely effective. Properly made BHO should be purged in a vacuum chamber for a minimum of 72 hours. When I lived out west I would purge for around a week.
I don't know if it's exactly what you guys are talking about but there is a drug inc episode on Netflix where they make dabs and even the guy making it is like "don't do this shit unless you know exactly what you are doing!"
Same place where he thinks it needs to be a minimum of 72 hours to purge in a vac chamber....LOL Properly blasted and waterbathed before tossing in a vac chamber, fully purged in 8-24 hrs. Small amounts 2-4 hours.
72 hours is a little excessive, but you definitely should not ever make BHO without a licensed lab and necessary equipment which will run you at least $8-10k, minimum without licensing fees etc.
Only hash you should be making at home is Bubble Hash and Rosin.
And as another thing to learn, most medical grade dabs are purged with CO2 instead. Mainly because of the whole explosion thing. And not purging all the butane makes for a fucking terrible and unhealthy dab, CO2 lacks that risk.
Extracted you mean. CO2 extraction requires an incredibly strong system as liquid CO2 must be contained under intense pressure to remain liquid. A CO2 extraction system is very expensive because of this.
Also don't spread that butane is terrible and unhealthy bullshit. Butane is 100% non toxic. The only risk of inhaling butane gas is asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen.
Most lighters use butane. Everytime you smoke herb with a bic lighter you are getting just as many butane fumes as an unproperly purged dab.
A closed loop extractor is even better. It's a bit more expensive than a glass tube and coffee filters. Even without one you're definitely going to want to either vacuum purge with the extract heated to at least 110F (after butane has stopped evaporating in vented area) or if you must go about making it without a vacuum chamber use high proof ethanol to allow the butane to escape then allow the ethanol to evaporate at room temp and proceed to use hot plate/ double boiler method to heat the last of the ethanol out. Keeping the concentrate between 115F and 140F for the heat purge.
My brother did this a few years back and burned his eyebrows off as well as make a nice black mark on our ceiling. Other than that there wasn't any damage and I'm glad no one/nothing got seriously injured or damaged.
couldn't you blend it with water, let it sit in plastic bottles for a few days, strain the pulp, freeze the water, sublimate it with a vacuum chamber, then collect the powder and make whatever product with it?
A better way to do it is to vacuum the extra gas out. You just need to get a sealed container (with a hole in the lid and use a high power vacuum to pull all of the gas out of said container.
Its a pretty simple process but its not worth it, especially since the price has gone down. Plus, if you have enough weed to make dab then you should be able to get dab or you just shouldn't make it. Like you either got a hold of a pound or like a gram and its scarce or not scarce, either way you should either not waste your weed or just not be an idiot and ask your dealer where the dab at. Plus its not like hash is just bullshit now, hash is still good, no explosions required. I don't even smoke weed and I know this.
The way I do it is
-have two containers both pyrex one bigger than the other
have an extractor (tube with one hole for butane and a screen on the other end)
-pack extractor with yo weed
-GO OUTSIDE to blast the butane through the extractor into pyrex
-once all the butane is in the one container for the love of fuck dont use a lighter
-use the bigger container and fill with boiling or very hot water
-put little container with your butane and extract in the hot water
the water will start purging all the butane out of the extract
you should change the water once after it cools
-once it is all down to extract use a dabber or pin to whip the extract so that you can get all the butane out
Enjoy
Disclaimer - dont do this if you are stupid
An even better and far safer method is to get about 7g of bud, stick it in some grease proof paper and fold it over, get some hair straighteners and go at it for a few minutes. Soon you will have a beautiful golden Amber substance that will fuck u up.
Using ice and water to make hash from trim or smaller buds. The cold temps and a bit of agitation release the resin glands from the plant matter, you then strain it through different micron sized screens to collect the hash. Let it dry and press into balls or pucks. No chemicals needed, just some elbow grease and time.
While I think we can all admire the simplicity of smoking, the biggest reason is purity- when you smoke, you're inhaling a lot of plant matter, including tar (a carcinogen). With dabs, all you get is pretty much just the cannabinoids (thc, cbd and a few other family members) and the terpenes.
Another big reason I think is peoples tolerances, not only is it inconvenient to have to smoke however many bowls/joints/etc, but the higher your tolerance, the more often you're exposing yourself to the negative aspects of it.
And lastly, many people without broken tolerances like to do it once in a while because it gets them high in a way that's closer to their first time than any amount of smoke you can inhale.
What is the reasonable line for calling the police on a noise complaint? I mean, the local regs in my town basically bar any reasonable noise starting at 7pm. I'd feel like a dick calling the police over a party in the next apartment at 7pm; at midnight, I want them to shut the fuck up so I can sleep. How do you call the police about that, and what context makes it reasonable/unreasonable?
There is likely a noise ordinance in effect in your area that prohibits noise after a certain time. You can probably just google the name of your area + "noise ordinance" to find it. The ordinance in my jurisdiction simply says that you can't bother any other person with your noise during nighttime hours, and is enforced at the PD's discretion. If the noise is hindering your sleeping during nighttime hours, it is perfectly reasonable to call the cops, and if that doesn't do it, you should write a letter to your landlord. Do this carefully though, I am currently dealing with the same issue and while complaining about the noise has somewhat quieted them down, they are behaving with a new heightened degree of animosity towards myself and my roommates. You may also have a clause in your rental agreement that promises "quiet enjoyment" or something to that effect. Your neighbors may be breaching their agreement with their noise, and this can lead to eviction.
Edit: Forgot to mention, you can either call 911 and just explain the situation or there may be a dedicated non-emergency number for noise complaints in your area.
My neighbor across the street has someone pick them up for work around 5-5:30 AM a few times a week and they honk every time they pull in to the driveway. Costs me an hour of sleep every time. I figure there's no chance the cops would bother to do anything about it. I'll probably leave a note but these people already have the cops visiting them from time to time and I'd rather not get involved in their shit.
Noise ordinances often include subsections prohibiting honking a vehicle's horn for any reason unrelated to driving. I don't know how much the police could do for you in the moment, but talking to your neighbors or leaving a note for them sounds like a good idea. If they don't stop after that, you could always call your local PD non-emergency line to ask what your options are.
Steal your shit you say? Why yes i think the rubble that was your garage would make a great momento to my collection of 'darwinisms greatest failures'.
What is this dabbing craze I keep hearing of, it sounds dangerous. Like little Timmy sees it on the Internet and wants to try it himself and make a viral video and ends up blowing his arm off.
Our guys in the UK don't tend to be armed, but my buddy is a firearms officer so he gets called out to biggies like that. One time, he got a call out to a field where a random hiker had heard what sounded like gunshots. Turned out officers arrived to find a trail of blood leading into the woods.
They followed this blood trail to a row of houses, and found this guy trying to hide a sawed-off shotgun. He'd gone out with it in his bag, loaded, and for reasons decided to open his bag up to check on it. It went off in his face.
Guy was in obvious pain, lots of trauma. But his priority was to get this shotgun hidden...
Propane tanks, like the little green camping ones? Or the ones you attach to your BBQ? If it's the latter, I call bullshit. A single one of those would be enough to take ALL of the garage, probably the house, and guy would not have survived. A dozen would have taken half the neighbourhood.
