For the last month, all of my live resin and wax has tasted like the bottom of a movie theater bag, even when I keep the temperature relatively low. Sleve Dear Sleve: Are you buying your hash from the same dispensary, dealer or extractor? This sounds like a production issue during the growing or extraction process. And if I had to put my money on it, I’d bet it was something used in the cultivation stage that was compounded during extraction. This is a common cause of contaminants and impurities in hash, from pesticides to nutrients. Most of the explanations I’ve heard re- garding burnt popcorn fl avor in hash involve sulfur used in the growing process. A com- mon nutrient for cannabis, sulfur adds a harsh fl avor to hits if too much is added to the plant or it’s not properly fl ushed before harvest. I’ve heard that extracting from heavily seeded cannabis can lead to a burnt popcorn fl avor, as well. No matter the cause, I’d fi nd a new hash plug. Dear Stoner: My dog constantly barks at and tries to bite clouds of weed smoke. Please help. He almost took out my friend’s girl- friend in the joint circle the other day, and it’s annoying during my sessions. Bobson Nugget Dear Bobson: Did you adopt? Pets often pick up odd reactions and habits from previous owners. Then again, some dogs are just meant to chase and bark at things. I’ve had dogs that barked at anyone in our pool and loved to bite at drops of water as we splashed around. My friend’s Rottweiler would try to jump and bite at weed smoke, but only when we blew o’s. I’m sure there are plenty of discipline- oriented training techniques you can try, all of which I’m too stoned and underqualifi ed to explain. And based on your proclivity for pot-smoking sessions, something tells me you’d give up within two weeks. No judg- ment: I’m just refl ecting on my own habits. Here’s a crazy thought: Have you ever tried not being in the same room as your dog when you smoke weed? I know we some- times have more separation anxiety than our pets do, but c’mon. A joint only takes ten or fi fteen minutes, and you can disappear for a quick bong hit before the dog even knows you’re gone.
