We all hope for more buds than we know what to do with. Sometimes, we get it. Those that buy bulk at Doobie Deuce dispensary often do so for good reason. Many want to use it to make something else. If you grow your own weed, then you likely have plenty to play with too. You can store all your buds for later use, or you can store some and put others toward more interesting endeavors.
Importantly, you can play around. You have options. If extract does not satisfy, for example, you can make something else next time. You can experiment with different forms of cannabis. Different ways to consume it. There is so much you can do with your extra bud, whether you grow it yourself or order it bulk online. These ideas can spread it further. Diversify your buds.
Bubble Hash
Bubble hash is very easy to make. It is cheap too. It also offers a chemical-free way to make use of your extra weed effectively. It requires intense cold to strip trichomes from their buds, which you then use to make hash. It melts easily. It bubbles, hence its name. Six-star hash is highly refined. Called Full Melt. One-star hash is the least refined. Making bubble hash needs plenty of weed. Plenty.
This works by soaking buds in freezing cold water. The icier, the better. In a five-gallon bucket, agitate it aggressively. Shake it hard. Stir it with vigor. Once thoroughly shaken, pour this into mesh Bubble Bags you purchased earlier, and sit it in another bucket. Choose the finest micro grade mesh, and as you remove each, you refine the hash further.
Rosin
It is also easy to make rosin at home. No chemicals needed. All it needs is heat and pressure, applied correctly, and with patience. Heat two plates as hot as possible. Place buds between them and apply as much pressure as possible. Push hard. The oil that oozes out is pure rosin. Highly potent stuff. You could use a curling iron with parchment paper. Just squeeze hard. Until you hear the bud crackle.
If you get serious about rosin, then invest in a rosin press. It makes life easier, even if it costs some dollars. These devices are very simple. They work much like a puck. Pack bud into them and press hard. Life is cleaner this way too. Neater. After pressing, you just take the weed out, scrape the rosin off, and enjoy the rest of your day. You do not even need to wait.
Cannabutter
Everybody should make their own edibles at least once in their lives. Every chance you can get, if possible. You can use your extra weed to make cannabutter, which you then use to make whatever dishes you desire. This is because, as the U.S. National Library of Medicine explains, THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, needs heat to convert into its psychoactive form. It needs decarboxylation.
Simply place your extra buds in the oven on very low heat. For around half an hour. Then simmer it slowly for some time, in butter or oil, until the THC has chance to bind with the fat to make a creamy, rich cannabutter. You then strain this, cheesecloth works well, before leaving it to solidify. You now have what you need to bake space cakes, excite your dishes, or make whatever you want.
Cannagars and Thai Sticks
Cannagars and Thai Sticks are very similar. Very dense. Very potent. Making them requires a special mold for the job. You can find this at any Marijuana Dispensary Washington DC. has. Then, finely grind three grams or so of bud. Pack tightly into your newly acquired mold, which should come with a stick through its center. Leave it to harden and take the stick out. Roll it up. Douse it in hash oil.
Tinctures
Tinctures offer discretion. Potency too. Of the very extreme kind. You cannot smell tinctures. To buzz, you need a drop, maybe two, under the tongue. Quick. Easy. Nobody notices. Tinctures can take a little while to feel, a half hour or so. They may take some time to kick in, but they last much longer than other methods of consumption. You need alcohol to make it. Wood grain. Lots of it too.
You might need around a bottle of alcohol for every weed ounce. That is a 750-milliliter bottle. Like cannabutter, this weed needs decarboxylating first. Once done, submerge your buds in alcohol and leave them there for several weeks. Use a quality mason jar and give it a good shake every day. After a few weeks, strain it through a filter, throw the soggy weed away, and bottle the precious tincture.
Finger Hash
The more you handle your buds, the stickier your fingers will get. This stickiness is pure gold. Called Finger Hash, you can rub it off and roll it into whatever shape you want. Of whatever delightful size. While pure hash like this can cause some coughing, it offers a very quick way to get very, very, very stoned. For growers, Finger Hash is a byproduct of harvesttime. It promises adventure all its own.
Conclusion
If there is any weed left over after games like these, then be sure to store it properly. Bad storage can destroy your buds, sending you to Doobie Deuce dispensary for more. You can get very creative with any extra cannabis. Just remember to use airtight jars, preferably glass, and store it away from pets, children, and sunlight. Keep it cool, dry, maturing most contentedly. Happy games!
