ok so i have a load of leaves and stems off unsexed plants that i had to chop. Im told they contain practically no THC but the stems are sticky and really smelly, is there no THC in this sticky substance? I was thinking of making oil or something but its probably not even worth it, so should i just compost them and count my losses or is there anything i could do to get even enough for a spliff or two?

I'm not sure how this was a recipe (hummus on pita bread is delicious; HUMUS is not) so I stuck it in organics.

You just got busted. Your compost heap is probably not the safest place to put your pot plants...

In general, it's a security risk. If you have a pest or mold problem, it's a pathogen risk too.

Not to mention how many things I've actually seen root up on/in a compost pile.

And if ya have any seeded popcorn left on those...

All of the sudden ya got a 5' plant growing out of yer compost heap- kinda tough to explain.

Using what extraction technique? I'm curious. I noticed you logged off as soon as people started asking...

I froze everything for 2 days, chopped it up fairly small, cut the tops off a few big plastic bottles, filled 2/3 water 1/3 crushed ice, blended it all, let it settle for 2 hours, scooped off the mush at the top then i sliced a few holes in the bottles just above the silty layer and drained off most of the water, let it evaporate til it was pasty, dried it on a plate under a desklamp then pressed it. I had two brown paper bags full of unmature plants and 3 female lowryders (1st week of flowering just a few pistils showing)
