You can buy dabs as wax, crystals, crumble, or shatter. Budder, pull-and-snap, and honeycomb are other popular CBD dab products. Each option has a different consistency, for whatever reason CBD products where never that interesting to me. I appreciate the science involved, but when you have to spend dispensary prices on CBD wax from the Tabaco store CBD dabs never seemed worth the money. Since the buzz of the plant at least to me is cleaner so intentionally concentrating certain chemicals like THC or CBD seem either lacking or to powerful. However recently I found a place to purchase CBD dabs Wax for cheaper almost affordable.

Since I have been letting these products gather dust as I vape like 50 cartridges, I figured I would Make my own CBD cartridges why not. Since the materials are not quite in studio so to speak I figured I would look at how CBD Wax is made.

This is a redundant question because I know short path distillation will isolate CBD given the right temp and atmospheric pressure. Just like THC these ratios when finely tuned isolate the desired chemical in a short path distillation system. However you need a rotary distillation system or more expensive lab equipment For the purest results. This isn't really what I'm asking more A question of how dose a retail CBD product get made.

A CBD concentrate is made by extracting hemp flower or biomass into oil through hydrocarbon, CO2 or alcohol, then taking the CBD oil from the extraction process, refine the oil or dilute the oil, to make it compliant with the law, then turn the oil into a CBD wax, CBD shatters or CBD crumble.

Under ideal conditions of 2% CBD nug run using the typical average with a 20% THC bud, & adjusted for the trace chemicals (In both but the CBD bud will have less) I get a Bud to Gram of CBD wax at around 320 Grams of CBD Bud to produce roughly 1 gram of wax. This might be off but this is just my math from what I could gather via research this is probably close to true because there seems to be an issue in the industry concerning how much CBD Hemp needs to be used to produce something like this.

Now these numbers can be changed by the potency, the use of just bud or plant matter, and the quality of the plant produced. I managed to get a gram of CBD wax for around $20 on sale. So ill do a review of it and make a wax liquidizer recipe when it gets here. This is my kratom vendor usually they are quick like 3 days at most 5.

Lemon Haze is a sativa marijuana strain that smells and tastes like fresh peeled lemon slices. Lemon Haze is made by crossing Lemon Skunk with Silver Haze. Its buds appear to be green and yellow with amber hairs on the trichomes, giving it the yellow tint. This particular specimen has a citrus taste that almost hits chemical like diesel particularly strong pungent flavor that isnt always the case with this strain. The picture is almost maxed out on magnification somthing that is hard to get this clear with my hardware.
The strain has a 17% THC and 0.38% CBD content on average but it also tends to have 0.5%-1% THCV (its hard to get this info step it up leafy). Now that I'm interested in CBD I will take a look at either my kratom vendor or more likely weedcash store CBD bud to throw under the endoscope.
Speaking of My other daily doses where in the form of a kratom tincture and Columbian coffee

Weed medicine production always sounds so scarily scientific to me, but boy I appreciate people trying to make me understand it!
