The Oregon Weed Thread -Grows, News and Laws and Whatever

Brutal heat in the forecast for 2nd half of next week.
Anyone do anything special for their plants when the temperatures start to crack triple digits?

100F temps are not brutal for Cannabis. I have seen them go to 107 F with no issues. I keep my GH in the 90s most days here. In the super heat, I will just move my plants onto a patio where they are in afternoon shade. Another advantage to growing in large mobile tubs, I can move them in and out of the GH heat. The GH will get to 110 F easy. I can also add shade cloth over the top of the GH to drop the temps in there.

So more fukking assholes blowing themselves up in PDX making black market butane oil and shatter, killing themselves and another person in the process, as well as burning down their home and a neighbor's home. Legal or black market, seems that people just have to kill and severely burn themselves in this process, and make hash and shatter making look bad. A real Darwin award winner here.

I think the last five years or so home butane lab explosions has kind of proved the no amount of law enforcement is going to solve the problem. If homegrowers had access to the commercial labs some of the explosions might be averted, but the seed to sale system and the rest of the tangled web of regulation prevents that access. Is the state just banking on the rosin craze to take care of the issue?

Dabs and butane extracts were popular in the 90's UK scene. We all used pvc pipe and garbage butane. So lots of people got cabbaged from too much. I mean slowed down like a paint huffer.

I have been anti butane for decades. And denatured alcohol on the stove isnt much safer!?.
Shame this whole method hasn't been stopped.

Stepped within 6 inches of a rattlesnake in the weed patch this morning.... that'l test your heart. It rattled but did not strike.

I used to sell/trade all my trim to the hash makers, now I'm pulling out my old 35 gal. bubble bags to roll with ice hash once more. Peace

You are one lucky ducky. Bites can lead to ugly and disabling life-long tissue damage, and even death. I have only come across a few Western Rattle snakes (Crotalus oreganus), usually camping and hiking. If bitten by one, it is advised to get medical attention as fast as possible, rather than try any kind of first aid. Once the venom is in you, it is in you. If possible do not panic or move too much. Antivenom is the best medical response, and the sooner the better.

Black widows though? I have come across hundreds of them, with the hourglass on the belly, from yellow to orange to red in color. And I do not mean the newer black widow strain here, I mean the spiders. I have also come across several recluse spiders in SoCal. And Hobo spiders up here in the PNW. Hobo spider bites are pretty bad.

Above 60 F at night your plants are going to remain active, and suck up 2x the water.

Had a similar feeling a few weeks ago, only I was about six feet away when I saw mine. It was coming toward me in the dark on a sidewalk, without the flashlight it wouldn't have been seen at all. Nearly dropped the flashlight because it startled me.
This one had a good rattle but didn't use it much.

I only find one a year here, but I'm always looking since I found the first one.

@ OregonBorn, I've seen a lot of black widows but they seem to keep to themselves pretty much, always in predictable places.

They have recluses out west but they aren't the brown ones, think there are 8-10 recluses that aren't brown.

The browns are found from Missouri to Texas and several touching states.

I spent about thirty years in Missouri and had a friend whose family all worked at a local hospital in some capacity. One dr. there was a so-called brown recluse specialist.
Problem was, his "expertise" was limited to him surgically removing all of the bite injury, along with a half inch or more of healthy tissue surrounding it. I don't know how many he operated on, but I've seen his work, worse than if you did nothing by far.

I finally got bit in my sleep one night, woke up at 2am feeling like the room was spinning and I was going to throw up. Went to bathroom, puked, roommate was up, laughing, thought I'd been drinking.

Next morning had two knuckle sized bruises next to each other at bite, gradually over two days turned to scab about two inches by one inch. Never hurt, but felt mildly poisoned, a lot like the ending hours of an acid trip. My Dr gave me antibiotics and Valium because it kept me up for three days and I was kind of hyper over it.
The scar is 2"x 1" now, kind of a divot about a quarter inch deep in the middle.

So, kind of disfiguring depending on where you get it, but really more cosmetic than anything. Looks like it would hurt though.

I bought a cheapy tumbler this year...it will hold 2 oz's of bud at a time. Freeze the years old bud, let it tumble.

Had more bud than I could smoke...now more kief than I can smoke. There is no winning this game I tell ya!

I also have more weed than I can smoke, and 4 plants cranking out more buds. What type of cheapie tumbler did you get? I tried ice bags and I have made alcohol hash. But I want to try sifted trichomes. I like keeping old weed around that has mellowed and gained more CBN, but the personal possession limits is forcing me to make my own concentrates.

Its hotter than Heater in Hooter today!

Oy vey, it hit a hundred here today. GH got up to 105, the plants seemed to ignore the heat! Spose'd to be 106 or 107 here tomorrow and Thursday, and cooling down to 100 again on Fry Day.

Regarding this, making rosin and/or bubblehash at home in Oregon is OK, right?

I only ask because the way they have it worded doesn't make it clear. Having the rules/regulations chop and change constantly doesnt help either.

There are a shit-load of eclipse glasses out there that claim to be ISO certified, but they are not.

I am not a lawyer, and thus my interpretation of these pending bills and laws are completely bogus and should be disregarded as pure bullshit. This is to cover your asses, not mine.

But yes, the wording in the laws has changed since Measure 91 was passed. According to the OLCC web site as of today, a concentrate is made by mechanical means, or using: non heated or non pressurized CO2, water (or ice), glycerin, veggie oil, ethanol, animal fat, or isopropyl alcohol. An extract is made by using heated or pressurized CO2, or a hydrocarbon like propane, butane, or hexane.

Now, there are laws that have been signed, and various bills that are pending signature and bills that have been proposed. But as of today, ORS 475B says (250)

A person may not produce, process or store homegrown marijuana or homemade cannabinoid products or cannabinoid concentrates if the homegrown marijuana or homemade cannabinoid products or cannabinoid concentrates can be readily seen by normal unaided vision from a public place.

It also says (255)

[FONT=&quot]A person may not produce, process or store homemade cannabinoid extracts.

I do not see anywhere where it says that you cannot produce homemade cannabinoid concentrates, other than not in plain sight, so IMO they can be made legally at home. I have read many places that say that concentrates cannot be made at home in Oregon, but I do not see it in the updated and revised [/FONT][FONT=&quot]versions of ORS 475B, which is the law of the land. Its here if you want to read it.
