Salutations,
...somehow I get higher with the same amount of cannabis.
Although input dosing appears unchanged it should be no surprize when extensive filtration + cooling manage to capture more of a stream, hence tainting the output path at a reduced rate simply because more sticky residues stayed inside - which explains how its "clean" look will last longer IMO.
I can now change the 'high' for each strain based on the use of the filter.
...wonder if this can be examined and explained.
Maybe this old Leafly illustration can help:
Predicting Cannabis Strain Effects From THC and CBD Levels (2017-mar-23)
Observe cluster distribution vs specific densities, does this suggest a naturally-occuring phenomenon to anyone??
Intuition alone tells me there's a limit to a flower's noble molecules production, highlighted in yellow; with obvious voids between each group:
My interpretation of it would be that the pair of dense horizontal genetic selections in blue just reflect successive periods of human intervention centered on the perceptible effects of THC concentration levels. e.g. far from the straight blue line, while fainter 1:1 and High CBD groups correspond to prohibitionism trying to impose a non-psychoactive "medical"/"therapeutic" substitute and that's exactly why i claim present day markets ("legal" or otherwise...) continue to revolve around
extreme boundaries, because of a clash between "stoner$"/"droÿé$" who much prefer THC vs $elf-$erving bigot$ (+ a category of medicated people) who do not.
As i recall SQdC's web site likes to advertize 1:1 as "balanced" although such mari-caca feels most inapropriate to me in "recreative" terms already, with Full-CBD clearly restricted to long-term applications no longer including "buzz" effects. In any case such map hardly reflects the long patient work of dame Nature at all.
It turns out in recent decades cannabis consumers became aware that THC and CBD mutually potentiate each other, briefly put it's OKay to get a little fair bit of CBD, presumably around/below the 2:1 mark exposed previously, for example:
It's a relative void and yet not absolute, in other words there's plenty of development awaiting within the genetic encoding capability of cannabis plants (in the yellow zone) which doesn't actually belong to any extreme boundaries anymore. My personal opinion is that both camps kept it that way for too long and it's time to explore/access different cannabinoïd profiles; so, perhaps what you've been enjoying is some form of altered spectrum conveniently performed via filtration + cooling indeed.
Please consider that rudimentary dosing has allowed you to avoid some of the typical tolerance issues often promoted by imperfect consumption methods since the day of initiation to cannabis... One potential problem being that less control over cannabinoïds dosing & spectrum eventually leads to an increase of behaviour disorder and of course the bigots love to accumulate extremist (THC-centric vs Full/1:1 CBD) statistics also contaminated with decades of that...
In conclusion this may have put you on a liberating path even if destruction of precious goodies by fire (combined to contamination!) translates as self-vilification quite certainly still pleasing our common enemies. YMMV, as an ex-smoker i finally chose "
The shortest Path of Lesser Transformation".
Think of condensation rates since THC and CBD have different characteristic temperature responses...
Good day, have fun!! ☮
