The crystal-like rocks look almost like meth, but they’re 100 percent THC.

I opened this article ready to hate it, but this is a really well written article. Thank you for researching and knowing your cannabis.

My first question would be, "How do you know what meth, and smoking meth, look like???

Yeah, it's interesting to read about the range of pharmaceutical properties we could have access to here, but really what's interesting is that it has been legal for a couple years, and here we are, still just recognizing this potential in principle. We know that the plant has a noticeably different effect, from one strain of "flower" grown at one farm vs. another, but we really have no idea why - the labelled cannabinoid percentages offer no clue, and wouldn't even if they were reliably accurate - and the vocabulary isn't really there to describe these effects in a well understood way and find out if they're even consistent from one person to the next. So, yeah, enjoy your ultra-high-THC concentrate, and marvel at the potential ...

Hope it doesn't soon become nationally legal. I doubt the tobacco & pharma giants are sitting around on their asses musing about this stuff. They're going to package the experience for the lowest common denominator, and everyone else will have no choice but to go along for the ride, lacking a sophisticated consumer culture.

I agree that the medical potential is fascinating and exciting.

But have people stopped to think that what they are doing is medical experimentation on their own bodies with this stuff? I'm not a pot smoker myself (it tends to give me an anxiety "hangover"), though my partner is, so I'm around it a fair bit and comfortable with flower.

But these concentrates strike me as something else altogether. Nor am I sure that this is what the voters had in mind when they voted to legalize. Of course maybe that's just my own visceral reaction to glass pipes and blowtorches (I had quite meth problem myself back in the day, and that image produces a whole range of mixed emotions). I'd be really unhappy if that became a common sight.

Plus that meth analogy leads to another question: can you inject it? (Insert joke about Becky and her marijuanas) And if so, is that something that would be cool with the public?

I'd be fascinated If the Stranger would fund Lester and a panel to do some blind trials of different isolated cannabinoids. Or has somebody done it?

This one is interesting purification, but how different is the effect than 90% THC extract? Because this "THCa" is probably THC-COOH, right? Which I believe is exactly THC by the time it vaporizes.

@4 one thing is that THC is pretty insoluble in water, so it's physically hard to get into an IV. (Do not ever IV an undissolved oil, friends, people have blocked up parts of their circulatory system.) I would also guess there's not much point, that smoking gets you about as high, but I'm no expert on IV versus smoking other drugs.

I think you can be sure someone has tried isolated cannabinoids. They'd be hard to find, but the even harder first step would be figuring out what you'd be looking for. For recreational psychoactive effects, I believe THC normally drives that effect and the other cannabinoids are modifying it and might have no perceptible effect on their own; the most likely experiment might combine this semi-pure THC with small amounts of your other isolates. That experimentation has also been done with terpenes, don't know if it has led to anything yet. One of the experts in this area, is in fact in this area, near Seattle, Ethan Russo.

And there are really interesting strictly medical potentials with the other cannabinoids. CBC etc.

The dose makes the poison

You know what else kills sex drives for women? Babies.
It may not be a cause, but it's a factor. You have to be prepared for that as a parent.
