Hey, so I let my friend run my shake and popcorn buds from trimming for QWISO hash at my house while I was turning the rest into brownies. I told him to let the ground up bud sit in the alcohol for 45 seconds, but for some reason he thought I said 45 minutes.... Good thing I came upstairs about 5 minutes into it and noticed the alcohol still there and poured the alcohol out through a coffee filter immediately. Is this QWISO still good even though it sat for so long? It evaporated and dried fine, and I tried smoking a tiny bit and it seemed to have worked, I just don't want to be doing damage to my lungs (already asthmatic). Thaank you.
Well, letting it sit that long totally ruined the point of making qwiso. (have a concentrated product without tons of chlorophyll..) Id really like to see a pic of how it came out..If you can afford to just toss it, go ahead and toss it. If not just smoke it, you'll be fine.
This it wont be any worse for health then smoking just buds, actually probably better because there is still less plant matter. It's fine though just wont be as potent. I wouldnt throw it out or anything
Considering you used shake, and generally, that isnt smoked, the qwiso will probably have more chlorophyll than bud, which isn't necessarily good to smoke... Just use your own judgment, if it smokes fine to you, then smoke it. Also, running it again won't really help.
Many people often make several runs using the same material with fresh Iso, often up to three times. The first and second run are (when done properly) usually a nice amber-gold, the first being the best, and the third run is almost always a 'black' looking sludge, with some amount of potency, but many impurities. You've basically just combined runs. Honestly, while that third run can be 'iffy' and its quality could go either way, it's not always half bad, and knowing you've got 'first run' potency trapped in there as well, should make it a fairly usable or half decent product. Like someone else said, it's really up to you and your standards. If you have plenty of trim and bud to spare, feel free to toss it out. Many of us would as well, so there's no harm in doing it. On the other hand, many of the folks who don't have access to much quantity, or quality herb, would kill for a batch of dark, third-run Quiso
