I tried making tincture with it once, I even washed it a bunch of times, and it was disgusting. It’s just not worth the hassle when all the terps are gone. I’d just pay for fresh bud over this stuff. I save it for a bit and then eventually throw it away now.
I didn’t start until the 80s, but it looked WAY better than any of this. Average bud was lower potency than the stuff we have today but it wasn’t bad and looked decent if a bit under trimmed. We got nice hydroponic buds when you wanted to pay for it and could find it. We also got cheap brown brick weed that looked better then this.
