An Open Letter to Sam_Skunkman - A Sincere Request to Share 99.9% Heads Tech a.k.a Pure Dry Sift.

[dogzter]

Well its good to see you actually read the part i wished the man well. If you have been around long enough you would know this is something he has evaded answering with any real clarity for many years, while being a poster on here for years. I havent demanded anything, nor put him on any spot. You are rushing to defend someone against no attack. Ive posted a summary of what I think. I have produced very clean dry sift, defo above 95% pure. I dont need his help. There are many who havent got a scooby how to refine hash, nor have the mental capacity to search for an answer.

The whole point of a forum is to share. Where did that get lost on you MROrganic? How many here have come in search of answers or help to find the answer?
If you feel i put Sam on the spot by asking a question in an open forum, well thats on you mate. Again if you have been here for more than a minute you would know Sam has been on and off of these forums more times than a pair of pants. People have IRL shit, and Sam is no different. Hence why i sent the post as a message, and would, if he responded post the response. That was the point about transparency.
Trade secrets... lol. you make me laugh. Afghans/Pashtos refining sift with wooden handed metal blades in the middle of the arid dusty land for centuries in the Tirah Valley. Almost perfect melts. People out there have been refining hash for longer than we would care to believe. Im not after some grail for myself, nor do I believe this has anything to do with entitlement. I feel Sam should share his tech, so asked if he would for the good of all. Or should I do it in private so i can increase my cred and my brand. I need no clout.

Share yours in detail with pics please?

Share yours in detail with pics please?

I did state in my 2nd post, dvd wrapped in parchment, but to elaborate, over a 65micron screen.

If you want a walk through:
I dried material in grow room long after harvest, perhaps an additional 3-4 weeks until rh in the room was around 35%. I had a pollinator (EU version) and changed the screen on the cylinder to a 220m screen. That was used for the initial sift. It was then filtered through the 135m screen printing screen. The resulting sift is then scraped across the 65m screen with dvd case wrapped in parchment. I used 2inch brushes to spread sift on 65m screen so that the static process was more efficient (less large piles or clumps.)
I have looked for some pics, found a few. Nothing spectacular by any means. But seems to be a bit of a confusion here.. Im not Sam. Or Cuban. Or Bubble.

Some shots from 2019. Once upon a time, time and space wasnt an issue, nor was the availability of good quality source material.
If anybody has any actual input for this thread it would be great.

RIP Sam. Condolences to his family, and wider cannabis family. Shame he can never chime in on this topic. Guess its now up to the guardians of that shared knowledge.

I have read the bad news a moment ago.

RIP All my thoughts with him and his family and friends.

" Recently ive seen another method which makes sense, where a latex gloved hand is moved over the screen holding the sift in a circular motion, and the static forms a outline of the glove of pure heads. I havent had the capacity to work dry sift for a while and have for the immediate future taken off my growing gloves to focus on other things."

Seems this secret tech of Sams was actually something that I had already mentioned here. Id seen this a couple of years back on IG, and just figured it was another static tech, and iirc im sure Sam said somewhere that static wasnt his method, oh well, either way the mystery is demystified. Bubbleman made this video with John Berfemo to demonstrate the tech.

Funny reading this thread you asking for Sams tech in 2024 when it was already puplished at that time all you had to do was watch some hashchurch. lol

R.I.P to Sam, even tho this seems to be a pretty shitty thread to be posting these statements in.

Sam never went into details that I remember. The community figured it out long before Sam let out specifics of his technique.That video series I posted on the first page gives you everything need to know. It takes agitation to roll heads free from stalks and multiple static passes for purity.

Psssst, Sam died about 2 weeks ago so questions to him need to go another route.

I did visit CIA (Cannabis In Amsterdam) from Adam(TH Seeds) & Doug several times in the 90s, but one time they had almost white powder (not coke), was dry sift probably from Sam. One toke from the bong and you were totally wacko. Was just as strong as Fisherman Friends.

Well he gave so many hints i think to him it was more fun to watch people figure it out on their own, which i respect even more hah
i saw this thread was posted Nov 19, 2024, and the videos with bubbleman explaining the tech was posted on YT 2022, why i found it funny.

Hey Sam

I sincerely hope that your health is managable, and that you are able to manage your cO2 levels easier, with technology developing quickly, I can only assume that your ailments will be easier to manage? Id imagine your cannabis consumption has significantly decreased as a result. Are you able to consume edibles?

The reason I am writing to you is my sincere interest in refining dry sieve hash, and the fact that you have never publicly shared your method for 99% pure heads. I know there are a few out there with this knowledge, but YOU need to be the one that open sources this methodology and technique, as I cant see people like Cubangrower ever doing this, as they have a commercial edge. I will give you 2 very good reasons why you really should do this: -

1. Cannabis is increasingly becoming dominated by corporations, and big Pharma. Im sure you can see this. The community of growers around the world need to have the techniques to refine this medicine without the need for big pharma. Yes there are methods now such as Rosin which have brought us much further, but the layman without a mechanical press wont achieve such purity, that is unless they can use a method to refine the heads.

2. What would it mean to your legacy. Without your input in this industry who knows how it would have developed, or indeed would have developed at all. You have some shade against your name from the early years notwithstanding, but however you will always be a legend in the community for your dedication, achievements, accolades and notoriety. I know are in your moonlight years, and while we all wanna live on, its guaranteed we will not. At least not in this iteration. You need to leave this as your final lasting legacy for the people of ic, and the wider world who have proliferated your work worldwide. Leave this as your parting gift to the world which you have served and been a huge part of.

I would like to post this as an open letter, as I feel that the whole community will be behind this, and will honour and preserve your methods, and recognise the tech as SAMS, Skunkman, or however else you wish. I recall you once speaking of trying to patent this in some form, but the world we now live in is much different, and I think that open sourcing this is really the way forward.

Peace, Love and Good Health.

Thank you for your kind words about my husband.
