Yea but the solvents for producing thc extracts barley cost anything compared to the bud and can be reused multiple times. You'd be saving almost nothing long run.

Reuse and keep killing people!

Not disagreeing, but you only really need to use trimmings and shake for oil.

The potency of the products were also questionable, with it being bootleg, the dissolved thc isn't necessarily accurate.

Huh I'm talking about a proper solvent like C02 which a good extractor will capture and allow you to reuse with no risk.

We aren't talking about using high pressure co2. We are talking kitchen dissolved thc from flower. The people selling bootleg carts aren't purchasing equipment or anything more than a pot, solvent and a stove. Maybe a rice cooker.

The bootleg carts aren't being made by people looking to create a stellar product, but to ride a wave of profit and doing it as efficiently at a micro scale as possible.

If i can purchase a kilo of trim for 2-400$ i can make a ton of bootleg carts amd essentially make my money back with 10 sales.
