SoTW: Kush Valley Platinum Delight (Platinum Delight 2) BHO Wax (Nug Run) Purchased at Star International in Burien WA. Impression: Attractive in both color and aroma, this (in this case) Sativa leaning hybrid- flavor is good. Dabbed at low temps or puffed through a nectar collector, the Honey colored Wax, which has a shiny skin that gives way to a biscuit batter crumble inside presents us with a durable Citrus topnote- still smelly and tasty days after opening the provided glass jar with hard silicon lid (I moved the wax into a full silicone stash jar the better for carrying around) That opening overtone is give way to a clean finish with a mild vapor and little to no cough reflex.

Introduction text
This book is being published in
California in 1973. At
this particular point in
time, possession of cannabis prod¬
ucts is illegal in the state of California as
well as many
other places in the world.
The author and publishers can¬
not
advocate breaking the law and suggest strongly that
before beginning, the alchemist carefully check
the man¬
made laws which govern the part of
the planet in which
he intends to perform the
operations described herein.
Recent legislation by some of the more
progressive legal
bodies, medical findings
proving that TUC is not harm¬
ful,
and the results of the California Marijuana Initiative
and many polls of public opinion are showing
the canna
bis lovers of the world the
light at the end of the tunnel
manifesting in the complete de criminalization
of cannabis.
The
cultivation of marijuana and the refinement of its preparations
has
concerned alchemists and hedonists on this
planet for centuries. Cannabis
sativa and Cannabis indica are both powerful
allies. The body of the plant
itself serves as a link between the physical
plane and a host of Spirits of
exceptional wisdom and subtlety. When the plant
is ingested these qualities
manifest in the mind of the worshipper,
unlocking the storehouse of Wis¬
dom
within and revealing the hidden springs of pleasure. Smoking or
eat¬
ing the leaves or flowers is usually sufficient
to bring about the desired
state, although it seems inherent in the nature
of Man to search for more
concentrated forms of the drug which are
stronger, more pleasant to in¬
gest, or are more desirable in some other way.
Thus it is that in every cul¬
ture
the technology of that period is applied to the work of the
trans¬
mutation. As technology has
evolved, so have the outward trappings of the
operation, even though the principles
underlying the operation remain con¬
stant throughout time and cultural differences.
In primitive situations the
refinement is carried on manually, the flowers
being separated from the
less
psychoactive seeds, stems and leaves. Resins are extracted by
simply
rubbing the plant with the
hands and then scraping the resin from the
hands with the fingers. Water extractions are
accomplished by boiling the
plant parts in water, letting the water
evaporate in the sun, and then col¬
lecting the residue. In cultures advanced to
the state of mechanical tech¬
nology, devices are used to this end. This
might involve sifting the dried
resin through mesh cloth, or mechanically
pressing the resin into slabs. In
cultures where the ingestion of the plant is
accepted and desirable, these
techniques become the formulae of power, and
hashmakers are revered as
Priests of the Holy Sacrament. In other
situations their work is misunder¬
stood, and they are branded as criminals to be
persecuted. Yet their work
Continues.
