The Hashish Manifesto: Understanding Retail Cannabis Through The Art of Hashish Kindle Edition

The most comprehensive and transparent look into retail cannabis products and the methods of extraction or refinement. Unbeknownst to many, most of today's cannabis brands do not grow cannabis and the vast majority of products (edibles & vape pens) are made from the trimmings and scrap materials, long after selling the prized flowers. Harsh chemical solvents like butane and propane make this possible, while consumer understanding remains negligent. Lucky for us, the solventless revolution has arrived...The seminal work on Modern Cannabis Extracts & Solventless Ice Water refinement conveys invaluable insights through detailed descriptions, easy to understand graphics, and a tightly organized message to empower the cannabis-consuming world. As the first and only critical examination of California's industry, products, and various extraction methods, the work reveals a depth of undesirable techniques commonly used in retail markets.
