Mephisto Genetics Any rosin aficionados out there in Mephistoville?

I don't weigh mine anymore either, only for edibles. My point is, you can only press "X" amount of Rosin out of a bud. My travel iron and clamp yields just as well as a 6 ton press. But I do less per squish, so more labor. I would spend up to $300 for a nice press, if it reduced labor and didn't take up a ton of space. But anything more than that is just not worth it to me. I run butane for the strains that don't press well.

I have the same press as Mañ'O'Green. Harbor freight 6 ton is a table top, only about 19" tall. I went with the 6 cause I can pick it up and move it around easley.

It still takes some space. It is relegated to the workbench in the garage. I find 6 tons is plenty for the 3x4 plates I run. I usually press a couple of ounces 3g. at a time. It takes about an hour and I get enough to make 4 or 5 chocolate bars.

Ah right. Makes sense. Why though?

About 20 mg is a medicating dose for me without impairing my everyday functioning. If I want to get a buzz 30 mg to 40 mg parks me in my chair and I would not drive unless it was an emergency. It takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours to take effect and will last 8 to 12 hours depending on the strain. I have some real stoner friends that take 40 mg and go out on the town but I don't have fun out after taking that much.

So if I use 1.3 g. of rosin to make a 4.5 oz (128 g) chocolate bar then 1.3x700mg(average rosin content) = 910 mg of cannabinoids in the whole bar so 1/50th of the bar is a dose 18.5 mg. The chocolate mold I use has 25 pieces and I usually eat half a piece at a time.

@KrazyDave I take cannabis for pain management. It works wonders. I was taking so many Nsaids that my kidneys and liver were starting to have problems that is when the doctor recommended cannabis. I have been using it for pain almost 3 years now. Kidneys and liver function are all normal now.

Rosin is a pure extract with no residual solvents. The flavor in my chocolates is fantastic. Dosing is way more accurate than any other homemade product. If you have never tried it you are missing out. The buzz is way different than smoking and I find it very enjoyable.

That is a lot of doses out of 1.3g. Can you add a link to your method? I'm a super stoner and need more than the average bear. Consistency is the key to edibles. Thanks for sharing.

That is the beauty in this method just use 2 g per bar or eat a bigger piece. I made a video:
