Question regarding THC crystals

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by gracie65, Mar 31, 2013.

  1. Hi all I have a question that has been asked here before but it has been a while. I've googled it and nothing new so I was hoping that in the last 4-5 yrs somebody has figured it out :D.

    I get beautiful smoke from my caregiver. So crystal covered that it doesn't want to let go of your fingers to go in the grinder :cool: really fantastic stuff so I have a couple of baggies that I repeat use and they are just covered in crystals so I was hoping that someone had found a definite way to get that out.

    I have tried scraping but not working out so gave up on that real quick. I have considered an alcohol rinse and dumping on a plate to evaporate then scrape and smoke, which is how we use to clean resin out of our pipes and then I have heard freeze and scrape. That sounds like a lot of work and scary plastic shavings lol so has anyone figured out a definite method?

    Thanks y'all
     
  2. Ive never been desperate enough to worry about stray trichomes on the inside of bags. Even if you could get it off it wouldn't be worth it in my opinion
     
  3. I saw a crackhead lick the inside of a baggie once, does that help?
     
  4. Get a Stash jar
     
  5. you should invest in a sharpstone grinder so you can collect the kief. i would just leave the trichomes alone.
     
  6. You can use either method. Unless using something really sharp, you wont get pieces of baggy. Drivers liscenses work well for scraping powder off, at least I remember something like that from my youth.

    Why not just ask your caregiver for some trim. Then make screen or bubble hash. The amount you will scrape off a plastic bag usually isn't worth the time.
     
  7. Alcohol rinse would be your best bet
     
  8. Get some jars, you don't tend to lose as much trichomes and I guess if you're desperate enough to get trichomes from your jar you could iso wash it.
     
  9. get a kief box
     
  10. Couple things..
    Don't use bags all the time imo.
    You could get a couple of things that collect kief as well, if that's all you want.
    1) A grinder with a pollen catcher. You can grind your buds up and then let them sit in the grinder, kind of like a stash spot. Then, many shakes and days-weeks later, you open the pollen container under the screen and collect your beautiful kief.
    2) A Kief box, this is pretty much a box w/ a gigantic screen and pollen catcher, and can be used as a stash spot and gets lots of kief over time if you keep your buds in there. Although I'm pretty sure it works best with grinded weed, but I'm pretty sure nugs work too.

    Also, don't use bags 24/7 to keep your weed in, get a nice airtight jar, like a mason jar, or any other brand (I enjoy cannafresh jars peronally), they keep your bud fresh for a lot longer and help prevent mold.
     
  11. i mean what doesnt come off onto a table in a couple taps of the bag isn't worth getting IMHO.
     
  12. For the bag question: cut bag in 1/2 at the bottom (not Ziploc part), put on flat surface and scrape gentally since it's plastic.
     

  13. This, but freeze the bag for a while first. It will make the crystals fall off a little easier.
     
  14. I do have a grinder and use it so yes the bottom is caked. Was keeping in jar but my favorite jar is gone and I have no other small ones. I've already tried the scraping and the bag stretched and very little came off but didnt freeze it so will try the freezing method.

    With my disability income every little bit counts. Would love to have the luxury of not considering it.

    Will also look into kief boxes.

    Notsure use to be a crackhead and never licked a pot baggy. I think that's a pot head yer thinkin of lol.

    Thank you people for the timely responses.
     

  15. Bingo! I balked at the price but I am glad I have it now. Plus it allows me to check bud quality. I bought an oz and a great price and guess what no kief whereas I bought some expensive stuff last year and a few grinds and kief galore!
     

  16. It's amazing the shit one sees in the inner cities.
     
  17. Yeah I have heard that some growers shake their stuff before they sell it. I have plenty build up in the sharp tooth grinder I have and I don't even touch that unless I'm totally out or treating myself.

    The grower my caregiver goes through is very picky and takes pride in his product so his buds are clipped neatly, buds are compact, there may be just the occasional tiny center stem left behind after grinding and they are always covered in goodies. I feel like sending him a thank you card lol.
     

  18. Never licked the inside of a Baggie ?
