Ice Water Hash- Can You Drink The Water?

[shmalphy]

I heard about this recently, so I gave it a whirl.

I started with 124g (wet) of fresh frozen sugar trim, and hand crushed ice. I used 2 one gallon buckets, and ran one bag at a time. I did 2 very short runs about 4 mins each, freezing the material in between, then froze it over night. I used the same water for both runs, but extracted a quart from the first run, to make room for rinse water. I ran it through a 220, 160, 110, 90, and 45 bag. I have several beautiful lumps of full melt curing, FMCD shots to follow.

I got 1 quart of bright yellow, cloudy liquid on the first run, and 4 more after the second. In the morning I took the 220 bag with leaf and ice out of the freezer, and gave a final 15 mix, then let rest, and used a 160 and 45 only, and got another gallon of water. The second batch has more flavor, as it has had a longer soak, but they seem pretty consistent.

It produces a decently strong buzz with about 4-8oz, and tastes just like tincture and water, sort of a ginger flavor. I am guessing this is based on strain though. I used a local clone only strain called StawBubbaFunk (Strawberry Cough x [Deep Funk x Bubba Kush]) I plan to order TLC kits soon, and do extensive testing on the water, and will report back with my data. I have a few recipes in mind, but I will wait to test them.

Right now I drink it fresh, but I am looking at either pasteurizing it, or adding citric acid to stabilize shelf life. Anyone have any recommendations on a method of preservation?

I am getting a juicer soon (my sister has a JuiceMan juicer she said I can have

), my first recipe is going to be pineapple ginger lime. I will let you all know how it turns out. It seems like we might be getting a whole new product (new to me anyway) from our bags, and hence more harvested cannabinois.

No trichome left behind!

You can drink bong water, but that doesn't mean you'd want to...!

your drinking all sorts of stuff like dust, bug excrement, etc. hope it turns out well, but it sounds kind of gross. I am a raw foods lover and am generally against pastuerization, but this should by all means be cleaned somehow.

It is filtered through 45 micron screen. The starting material is grown indoors with HEPA intake, no bugs dust or dirt. I treat it exactly the same as if I was producing my own food. I would say there are more bugs and dirt on the average vegetable than any starting material I use.

The difference with bong water is that has the by products of combustion. This is pure and clean, just like the juice from a juicer.

I think your plants would enjoy it more then you do. I'm interested I get the test results you get though, Good luck..

 

[eloquentsoution]

i always gave it to my plants....they LOVED it.

if you wish to preserve for self, why not can it?

 

[shmalphy]

I think fresh juice is healthier for you. I have been just doing 1 gallon batches with sugar trim, so I drink what I can and add the rest to the plants. My trim is purple, and so is the water, so it looks like they are like vampires, drinking plant blood.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've read you can boil the water with some butter or oil to extract whatever's left. I'll have to try that next time, along with drinking some straight.

I like to get as much as I can out of my plants. There's no reason to throw away the water if it can get you high. My indoor plants are "clean" too, as clean as you can get with organic soil methods. I cook with my buds and trim all the time, so I don't see how drinking the hash water could be a bad thing.

drink it mate and tell us how it tastes and if you got high lol

I'll try the water this weekend when I make a batch of gumby hash. I love proving wrong the various myths out there. "You can't get high from fan leaves", "you can't get high from roots", "you can't get high from the thick woody stems", etc. I'm pretty sure I'll get at least something out of the leftover hash water.

I don't have any fresh frozen trim at the moment, but I have some that has been curing for a couple months. I don't know if that will change the taste. I love the taste of cannabis whether it's fresh or dry.

...took the words right outta my mouth LMAO!....

 

[eloquentsoution]

i drank it and felt nothing. but in reading about fresh juicing of cannabis, the effects are felt over a long period of time.

i say try it and let us know.

and yes, canning looses some potency but better then nothing.

I plan to make a soda out of it. I think if I pasteurize it at 185 then make a ginger beer, and bottle it I should get 2 months out of it in the fridge. I tried ph-ing it to 5 with citric acid and that added a few days to the shelf life.

eloquentsoution, try smoking a little bit with it. I feel like it potentiaites any THC in the bloodstream with the water soluble (or emulsified) terpenes and cannabinoids, causing a stronger effect than would be expected from the amount consumed.

i no longer get high, but do feel the body and some attitudinal adjustment, just not the lovely euphoria that i once experienced. and yes i did puff while consuming and felt happy i was drinking it, just cannot say for sure what results were felt.

i believe one must continue for a prolonged period, say three months of daily consumption. i not longer make bubble, schmalphy. would you test the theory?
