Last year my grow got wiped out by root aphids and I was forced to buy a z of White Widow from some sketchy characters.

It was quite moist, so I dried it a bit and jarred some for decent curing.
After it dried a bit, I noted a "funky" taste.
Very old timers will remember a wall cleaning compound from the '50s that looked like modeling clay.
It had a distinctive odor.
This weed smelled exactly like that.
Not quite moldy, just funky.

I did a water wash.
Evaporated the water and looked for residue.
Nada!

Dried that sample, still smelled. Hmmm?!
So I did an isoproply alcohol extraction.
(I'm not about to toss any meds I can salvage).
Evaporated the alcohol and found this:

I'm guessing it was something like Serenade, at best.:wtf:
Definitely not anything I'm willing to bet a lung on.

Since it was not water soluble, separating it from the desired active ingredients was over my head and I had to trash the whole z.
That took out my entire medical budget.
If a good man had not stepped up and sent me free meds for 3 months I'd likely be seeing metastases by now.
Mahalo Ancient ghost!
You know who you are.
