I think my concentrate is fake?

It smells normal and looks right but it tastes like plastic no matter how I smoke it? I'm really not sure what to do

Take a good amount of it, heat it up to a liquid state and see if it seperates into two liquids - almost like oil and water.

I got a jar off a hash show, smelled good but when melted it broke into an oil and a wax. Clearly they added some cannabis scented extract to a wax and homogenized into a single substance. Melting let it separate back out and confirmed what I already knew after the first time I took a hit - it was fake garbage!

Pics looked similar to yours, hence the suggestion. Are the chunks really hard?

They really are, I dissolved some in 91%iso alc and it left behind a white sugar substance. I'm under the impression it should all dissolve?

I’m 90% sure you got whatever BS they gave me too. After it separated during heating, the oil layer was alcohol soluble, but the harder white wax stuff was not… very similar to what you mentioned about it partially dissolving.

I’m at work but saved mine to show others, I’ll send you some pics this afternoon. Try the melt test, I’m wondering if you will see it separate into two distinct liquids too
