answer:I am surprised and a bit dismayed to learn that concentrate is no longer available at the dispensary for patients. I know here in CO, there are a variety of concentrated items available for patients…. so your quandry, for lack of a better phrase, sucks big time. I believe they may be referring to bubble hash, and yes it can be a tedious, difficult process especially for someone who doesn’t normally ‘cook’ with cannabis. What I might recommend instead is getting what most people call a ‘keef’ box. It’s just a wooden box with a magnetic lid (most of the time), and you toss a heavy coin or two in there, along with some high-grade buds and shake it around. You’ll be left with a thin film of powdered ‘keef’ on the slick, mirror-like plate inside. This is a concentrated powder, similar to other forms that might take much more time and effort to make. It’s simply the easiest and cheapest way I can think of, short of making hash. Also consider the myriad recipes online for reducing cannabis into a concentrated butter or oil (cannibutter) on the stovetop for use in edibles.
