I'm wondering if others might have had successes that I can learn from.
I'm looking for flavor. Not a buzz. If I understand properly, unless I use some kind of oil to extract the essence, I'm not going to get THC out that will produce a psychoactive effect. That's OK; the last time I smoked regularly (+30 years ago), I had developed a very scary clinical paranoia that very promptly disappeared when I quit.
However, here in Washington, I smell the sweet perfume of "stinky bud" almost daily and I gotta say, it's killing me . The thing is, as I taste one new IPA after another, I find that the ones that are love at first sip, all seem to have an aroma that reminds me a whole bunch of that same stinky bud.
Now I know that along with the THC levels in today's product, another thing that has skyrocketed in the last 30 years is the price per ounce. So much so, that to experiment with several ounces just to see how it turns out... well it's not in my budget... I'm guessing for those who can afford it, they're probably looking for some way to achieve some kind of psychoactive effect for their investment. But again, I'm pretty much trying to avoid that.
However, an acquaintance has a small grow operation about to harvest. Apparently there is a significant amount of "waste" that is not market-worthy. All of the leaves, and all of the trim that is left over.... I'm wondering how it would work if I used that as a dry hop addition?
Has anyone ever tried something like this?
