Organic marijuana and concentrates grown from sustainable sources in the heart of Steamboat Springs, Colorado by Anthony Franciosi.
Extraction is the process of removing the active cannabinoid profile from the flower material of a cannabis plant to create concentrates.
What we’re looking for is the THC, CBD, CBN as well as the terpenes and flavonoid compounds that make up the profile of a cannabis plant.
There are a number of different ways to achieve this goal, but the idea is to gather all of those elements together (THC, CBD and CBN) in one place to use either medically or recreationally.

Anxiety disorders are estimated to affect 18% of our population and cost over $42 billion a year in an attempt to alleviate symptoms and suffering. Many patients who are afflicted by anxiety prefer cannabis to prescription medications because it is an organically grown, fast acting medicine without the unwanted side effects of many prescription medications.
Cannabis is so effective at alleviating anxiety that it is hardly surprising that 44% of Americans aged 12 and older have reported having tried marijuana. Yet the American Medical Association has long denied any evidence of the medicinal value of cannabis, in spite of its popular widespread use, and for decades advocated a controversial legal synthetic THC pill which has lots of unwanted side effects, including anxiety itself! The AMA has only recently urged the DEA to end its criminalization of cannabis by reviewing its status as a class 1 controlled substance.

Well it’s much more potent than your typical pot for starters! Wax is vaporized or used for dabbing providing a quicker, stronger and potentially more intense high. Most high quality “street” cannabis has a THC content between 10 to 15 percent with the highest strains containing 23 to 24 percent THC. A dab of concentrated cannabis “wax” by way of comparison has a THC content of 80 to 90 percent! This is why we love wax and why the authorities are worried about it…
Many people refer to all butane hash oil concentrated cannabis products as “wax.” Wax however is a soft, cloudy, non-transparent oil pressed from cannabis trichomes in order to maximize the percentage of active cannabinoids such as THC as well as CBD. Wax that is gooey with moisture is often called “budder,” whereas soft, brittle wax is called “crumble” or “honeycomb”, according to leafly.com.

Lots of folks are ecstatic about weed edibles! Edibles are perfect for medical users who are green to cannabis and who want to experience the plant’s therapeutic relief without having to deal with the harshness of inhaling smoke. Edibles can also provide an intense, recreational euphoric high, even for seasoned stoners who smoke daily and who are looking for a more potent THC treat. So it’s understandable why cannaseurs bought 5.8 million infused weed edibles and concentrate products in 2014.
Cannabis and food consumption have always complimented one another like peanut butter and jelly because the endogenous cannabinoid receptors in our brains, which are stimulated by the consumption of marijuana, are responsible for regulating our ability to taste various foods by stimulating our sense of smell. Smoking as well as eating weed edibles simply enhances this natural mechanism in the brain which of course is why people get the munchies when they get high. The fact that cannabis stimulates the appetites of individuals suffering from an array of afflictions as diverse as AIDS, chemo treatments for cancers, epilepsy, MS, ALS, Alzheimer’s, anxiety disorders and inflammation is believed by many to have originally inspired medical doctors to reconsider the science underlying drug prohibition, in turn creating a new demand for the edible marijuana market.
The unexpected trend of individual states legalizing marijuana and removing recreational marijuana laws shows how grassroots political will can make an impact, in spite of opposition from large corporations and the federal government. The triumph is renewing faith in the democratic process as much as it is replenishing local tax revenues.
“Records show, every time you get marijuana on the ballot, you get a 1 to 2 percent jump in turnout” according to Nevada State Senator Richard “Tick” Segerblom, who’s state, according to Nerdwallet.com, has $36,100,059 in tax revenue to glean from regulated and taxed marijuana.

Apparently people power still works when it comes to legalizing pot! The key reason why recreational marijuana was legalized in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Washington D.C. and why it is more likely to be legalized in Nevada, Massachusetts and Arizona where The Marijuana Policy Project is supporting an uphill battle, as opposed to states like New York in the next year is because the former states have direct ballot initiatives that allow referendums on popular issues such as marijuana legalization if enough signatures can be collected. New York and many other states do not. New Yorkers along with the citizens of 28 other states will have to wait for their state legislatures, if not for Federal courts, to enact full recreational marijuana legalization.
