VANCOUVER, WA – Here’s an excerpt from the Cannabis Chronicals Blog from the The Columbian
Edible oils will be one of the products that Fuzzy Limit will introduce to the marketplace when we are at full production. We do plan on producing the extracts by using CO2 extraction. CO2 extraction is the safest and most efficient way to extract plant essentials. You can read more about it here.
Black Alpaca, a grower in Southwest Washington, recently came online and started selling some of his marijuana buds in Vancouver’s two stores.
The small company’s next products should be welcome news for those who’ve been waiting for edibles.
The grower, who asked if he could just go by his first name, Bill, because of some concerns about his neighborhood, hopes to introduce both an infused olive oil and food grade glycerin line of products to Vancouver’s stores as early as Monday, Oct. 20.
The olive oil is aimed at those who want to make their own edibles. You can put it on salad, bake it in brownies or use it pretty much any other way that you’d use olive oil. The containers will come with ten 10-gram portions and a pipette to measure them.
The glycerin base can be used in some vaporizer pens and is also food grade for those that want to cook with it, he said.
Bill started out growing medical marijuana for his wife, who had stage 4 breast cancer. She’s now in remission, he said. The couple have a two-acre farm with chickens, ducks, vegetables and two alpacas – hence the name.
He decided to get into I-502 growing as a way to keep his farm going.
“I’m all organic, no pesticides, I cure everything for 10 days, and I’ve gotten my CBD up to 2.25 percent in some of my blackberry Kush,” he said.
He plans to continue to sell flower along with the oils.
For extraction, he uses ethanol, which he evaporates and replaces with the oil or glycerin. Eventually he wants to use CO2, which he says is cleaner, but it’s too expensive right now for him to buy the equipment.
