Under what circumstances would a person leave several pounds of damp shake on top of a dumpster? I mean... I would assume that it's been used for something, and that's why it's damp, but what was it used for?
Is it oily-moist? It could be leftovers from extraction into oil.
No, it's not oily. And it is extremely redolent so I am reconsidering my assessment that it's been used for something. I'm wondering if it's fresh trimmings... but why would anyone just discard a bag of fresh trimmings?
SEND IT TO ME FOR ANALYSIS.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SAFE.

:lulz:
I am not mailing a huge box of this ANYWHERE.
It's absurd. There's just so... much of it. Obviously someone in my friend's apartment building has a sizable grow op.
Either it's been hit with a solvent (probably butane) to make hash oil with (this would not make the shake oily) or someone's just dumb and didn't know they could still get useful material out of it. If it's shade leaves then someone might have had so much trimmings and stems that they figured it wasn't even worth the bother. Or it could have come from a caregiver who only kept the legal limit of dried bud and got rid of everything else.
Would butane reduce the natural smell, or add a smell? Because it smells... really, really strongly... the way dried pot smells. But more. And it does look really leafy and stemmy. My friend is freaking out and talking about calling the cops. :lol: I'm trying to convince her that whoever threw it away is probably licensed and that if she doesn't want it she should just put it back on the dumpster for someone else.
She thinks the cops would care about a bag of shake? :lulz:
I don't know that butane changes the smell one way or another, but if it did it would almost certainly make it smell less since it's being used to extract the cannabinoids from the vegetative material. Also, butane would evaporate fairly quickly and the leaves wouldn't be wet.
it's probably just leftovers from someone licensed to grow medicinally. There's really no reason for a medicinal grower to save the peripheral plant material here in OR, as opposed to WA where there's a large grey-market for edibles, tinctures, etc.
She is one of the weirdest and simultaneously one of the squarest people I know. :lulz:

Shake is the leaves that are trimmed off when the buds (the part you smoke, generally) are manicured.
The shade leaves (big leaves coming off the stems) have very little THC or other psychoactive material in them. The smaller leaves that grow out of the buds are frequently saved for joint material or to put through an extractive process to make either hash or hash oil.
I concur with ECH.
It's a sociological experiment.
