I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience making rso oil from feral hemp plants?I know where there are some big patches of feral hemp and thought it would be a good idea to try to make a concentrate like rso oil out of them to increase the potency of it.Its free to for me to pick as much as I want to.All the feral hemp plants seem to have a different taste and smell to each individual plant.Some of the plants have thicker wider leaves and some have skiny leaves with definitely different terpene profiles depending on which plants you pick.Some plants are smaller plants that branch out into a big bush ,while others plants right next to it are growing tall with very little branching.Most of the hemp in the USA that was planted in the 1940s is Chinese fibre hemp which has the smallest thinest buds with a horrible taste and it doesn't get you high at all.This hemp I plan on using is feral hemp that has been growing feral since the 1800's so its definitely a different type of hemp,then the common type of Chinese hemp that grows throughout most of the USA.I think it has a much more diverse make up of genes in it,which makes all the hemp plants look a little different from each other.Most patches of feral hemp originally derived from Chinese hemp tend to all look the same so this hemp I will be working with,will be a unique type of hemp that is not the common Chinese fibre hemp.I think the hemp I would be using was hemp that became feral out of cultivated plants that were grown in the 19th century or earlier.

Ive heard you can put the colas in a big pot with high proof alcohol in it and heat it up gently at a low temperture to evaporate out the alcohol out of it to make the RSO oil.I was wondering if this method is worth trying?If you have any other suggestions as an easy way to make it,please comment on here how you think is the best way to make it.

I plan on updating on here, how good or bad the rso oil turns out in the future.

I have been smoking cannabis for 4 decades now.I remember when I was a kid and just hooked up with something good,it was almost immposible for me to hide the smell of it.I could double bag it and still smell it in my jacket pocket.Now most cannabis has little to no smell to it.I think its the remediation treatment that is commonly used in the industry that makes it pass the lab tests to be able to sell that cause this.I notice even the best stuff now doesn't get me high for hours anymore.I also notice all the good flavor of the old cannabis strains are gone now.Its very rare to smell any cannabis that has a skunky odor to it anymore if you buy it from a dispensary, which was so common years ago.I never have been able to get an authentic tasting sour diesel in years now.

I think the legal cannabis industry in america has made cannabis lower quality then it was years ago.

What is e everyone's opinion on this? Do you think the quality of cannabis has been getting worse since legalization?

If you think we are paying to much for cannabis which is a very cheap plant to grow ,you can thank CEOs like Ben Kovler of GTI/RISE for the high prices because of their enormous income he makes.They cant afford to pay the workers a living wage ,but in his last reporting income which was in the year 2024 thus is what he made.

A total of $10,388.077.00 for his person income for 2024.

The income includes

He made $345,013 in base pay.

He made $1,525,569.00 in bonus pay.

He made $8,517,495.00 in stock options.

The total is if added up is $10,388,077.00

He is the CEO of 113 dispensaries in the USA.

If you divide his income with the number of dispensaries he manages, it is $91,929.88 he makes on average per each location in the year 2024.
