@Anyone or everyone can you please check my math?

I press 6grams of rosin and make a general assumption that it is +-80 percent thc.

6 x 0.8=4.8 g(thc)

4.8 x 1000=4800 mg(thc)

After decarboxylating the rosin and adding to my jello mix I end up making 100 gummies.

4800 mg ÷ 100 = 48 mg per gummie

There is a little waste while transferring the mix into the molds..maybe 10 percent of the total?

48mg x .1 = 4.8 mg(waste)

48mg - 4.8mg = 43.2mg per gummie

Does this seem like a reasonable thought process? Missing something?

What say you?
I’ll have to ask GW 🤪

The math looks good, though the assumption of potency may not be. 80% seems high for rosin.

So I have a question about this rosin stuff. I will try not to sound like unca but I will tell ya I know nothing about rosin. So when you take really good bud flowers from your favorite weed and press it into that rosin, does it get you higher than smoking a fatty of the same weed? I’ve never tried it and it Seems like quite the process to go through then there is smoking it… a whole nuther process I sure. What is it that makes rosin so good? Also do you prefer it to smoking a joint or bowl or other way you would normally get high?

I see some use it for cooking with. First I’ve heard of rosin used in gummies.

and one more question, when you make it, do you use flower or trim?

Had the social security admin tell me he's taking his at 62.
There's no guarantee on anything
My pussanal experience (after DMODD) -- Start taking SS as fargin soon as you possibly can.

Any other path is shorter, narrower, and a losing proposition. <-- Actuarial fact.

This is my most solid advice given from a "looking back and seeing what would have bottom line happened if I did NOT follow this path".

I personally have found nothing that gets me as high as smoking, but no longer do so in deference to my aging and highly protesting lungs. I vaporize herb or dab concentrates at 450F.

Rosin or other concentrates allow you to get high while exposing your lungs to less irritants.

The yield is higher extracting with a solvent, than pressing for rosin, as rosin leaves more behind.

Solvent processes lose some of the terpenes as azeotropes when purging the solvent, while Rosin retains more terpenes than most of the solvent extraction processes, so is typically more flavorful, but slightly harsher to dab or smoke.

I've only pressed flowers or kief, but ostensibly you can press trim, with a lower yield.

Kief is commonly placed in bags and pressed for the higher rosin yield. Not higher in total, as dry sieving and bubble extraction leave a lot behind at the point where they are starting to turn green from plant particles and rosin extraction also leaves the spent material covered in rosin.

Graywolf the Younger agrees with Walt the Elder on retiring as soon as possible. Not only can you draw for longer, but retirement is a lot of fun.

The bathtub recaulking turned out well, and no drugs were injured, nor invectives used in the process.

Whoop, whoop, lu lu lu lu lu lu lu, I finally got a call from the pain clinic and have two sessions scheduled starting Thursday!

Unca Walt, may I ask what your avatar is a picture of?
