No matter how pure the extract is (maybe they reckon that's the 99% figure?), it has to be diluted by vape liquid, and as extracts don't mix directly they have to be pre treated with something like PEG 400. The mixture really can't be much more than 40% extract I reckon, with the rest carrier and flavour. I've been trying to make extracts again recently but it's just not satisfying enough to put so much green in and come out with such tiny amounts of rosin. Even if it is incredibly strong, it just feels like such a waste. I've tried white spirit extract in the past, that was too easy to **** up time wise, the heat press method is my most recent attempt, I made a cool combination of t shirt press and vice. I know deep down inside that I'll have to try making butane honey oil at some point, I suppose it's really the experimenting that I'm into. I keep meaning to buy a couple of grams of shatter to make carts, I'll get round to it one day. It's on a scientific industrial level around here, it's probably the best weed in the world. There are weed stores everywhere, it's like bookies in Scotland. I was surprised at the effect of the vape cartridge, I have never tried vaping of any kind. Funny little story. I was so naïve about vaping I had the cartridge 3 days I think it was, at least 2 and I was thinking man these cartridges never go down. This is great. But was less than enthused about the effect, I began thinking am I doing something wrong. So I goes into the store where I got both the device and the cartridge and tells them that. Turns out you have to press the button a few times to turn the damn thing on, I had been just holding it down and puffing at nothing. I have been smoking weed for decades off an on and this is the best I have seen. I was an instant convert to the vape. I got a $15 cartridge and a $5 cartridge to see the difference and it's largely the taste and for want of a better term the harshness. The $5 cartridge has the same effect, might not be so flavorful and might make you cough a little in comparison. I think it might last a week if you were puffing it frequently throughout the day, which I don't typically just at night so it will last a while and be a lot cheaper than what I was spending on actual weed.

I've just looked it up, they all seem to say they're made from 99% thc extract, not that they're 99% thc themselves.

I couldn't say about the actual contents, only know what's on the packaging but it is more potent than a joint say and noticeably so. One difference is that I think smoking has an effect quicker, you can puff at the vape and wait a few minutes before the effect. Doesn't smell, the wife doesn't smoke it but she doesn't mind me smoking it though not in the house. She wont know if I have a fly puff at this in the house. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just recently switched from smoking weed to cannabis vape cartridges. Much more potent and for me at least a lot cheaper than weed. I think I may have been wasteful with weed, and let's face it, it's unavoidable that a good whack of it is just going to literally go up in smoke uncaptured. A cartridge like this one which I have right now will last weeks and costs $15.99 or £12.89 at current exchange rates. More efficient and cost friendly and healthier. Incidentally the THC content of a typical good quality weed is around 25%, check out the THC content of the cartridge. There are $5 cartridges just as potent.

Trouble is, it’s hard to confirm claims to find truth. Not impossible, just hard. Browsing youtube and I find this report today (June 5th, 2023). I find it interesting that a news outlet reports this without jokes or typical facile comments. I searched and could not find much about the whistleblower David Grusch. Very interesting that these stories are headlining the mainstream news.

maroonlegions Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 From one of the most celebrated individual of the 21st century.. Hawking claims in a new documentary titled "Into the Universe With Stephen Hawking" that intelligent alien life forms almost certainly exist — but warns that communicating with them could be "too risky." "We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet," Hawking said. "I imagine they might exist in massive ships ... having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.” Hawking: Aliens may pose risks to Earth another quote of his, “If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.” ― stephen hawking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) If we accept this premise at face value that there a regular and numerous UFO incursions and crashes in our airspace, then it asks some difficult questions. Can they go FTL? If so, how do we recognize this technology and why do they malfunction in our atmosphere considering the technical prowess needed to break a universal limit. If they can't, just how near to us are they and what number of them are there? These craft cannot all crash in the US - and plenty governments are porous with this type of information. Some countries might not even have a sophisticated state and just share what they found. But we don't have anything tangible. Setting all that aside and accepting for discussion purposes that this is true, then we surely must be in communication with these race(s) of aliens, otherwise we would have assumed them to have hostile intent and would have pretty visible weaponry developed and militarization/exercises readied to fight any hostile intent. I've not seen evidence of that, just us continuing to use our resources to point weapons at each other.

Not wishing to appear a smart a**e, but can I respectfully suggest you watch the vid from 5-30 mins. There are some startling answers to some of your questions e.g. a massive base in Antarctica which (if true) houses a colossal laser-beam type weapon that can shoot down craft coming into earths atmosphere from space.

Man, a laser beam situated in Antarctica sounds like a full on conspiracy claim. Just about believable given the 300kw laser the US navy developed with Lockheed and was used to test shoot down a cruise missile but also, critically, not verifiable. It's also a reworking of the old claim of a Nazi base there. Bu If a weapon can track these craft - which if they are the ones seen defying physics with their atmospheric manoveurs, cannot be at all an easy task, and has the range to shoot them down over continental USA (which I doubt as the 300kw laser has a range of just 5 miles and once it is beyond the Rayleigh range, the inverse square law applies and it will rapidly lose coherence and power), there must be evidence to correlate these things falling out the sky ie it must be visible to amateurs who could get to crash sites first. There's just no way we have the capablity, imo, of creating this laser on Antarctica I'm not using critical thinking to be a killjoy as I've long hoped for us to discover any sign of life off our planet and we have recently confirmed finding some of the building blocks necessary for life in our solar system: Ryugu_asteroid_uracil_B3 Enceladus_phosphorous and a working theory for the minimum molecular complexity for life which may aid our search, (15 molecules minimum which is higher than any inorganic substance): assembly of life Perhaps less exciting than actual visitation but still very promising.

Throughout this thread there have been numerous quotes from "credible" witnesses with apparently "impeccable credentials". A high percentage of the people being quoted have been American. There have also been voluminous copy-and-paste published articles, these too from apparently impeccable sources, some dating back to the 1950s. Similarly, a high percentage of these articles have been by Americans. It doesn't help the believers' case that America is action central when it comes to bullshit conspiracy theories about everything. You name it ..... the moon landings, 9/11, Waco Texas, Sandy Hook, Amelia Earhart, lost elections, UAPs .... Americans have a conspiracy theory about it. More than once on this thread, I've suggested that a single piece of irrefutable hard evidence would dispel all doubts, but no such evidence has ever been produced. That's because there isn't any.

They can't be part of the deep state then, Trump was their boss and they reported what they do to him via the director.

It's the rallying call of the maga movement, the deep state is something trump and his supporters cite as the enemy. But they reported to him when he was president?
