Cannabis lab 101

Raw CO2 cannabis oil is very sticky at any temperature. Stickier than honey. Almost as bad as super glue. It binds to soap, water, paper towels, t-shirt rags, etc. making it frustrating to work with.

CO2 cannabis oil is the essence of my job.

Today, when I was harvesting the extractor for this precious oil, heat and pressure caused the material in the collection cup to seep out of the sides. When I went to take the collection cup off, it erupted on its own, coating the hardware, the floor, me, in sticky goop.

Ethanol is the antidote to the stickiness. Thank God for ethanol.
