Since no one else in the thread has mentioned it, do you have wildfire smoke in addition to the heat? Even a few days at a lower aqi (75-100) can make me feel that weighed down/tired feeling in my body, in addition to the headaches. Where I am in kkkanada has been like that almost every day in June and July.

To combat this I close windows and have an air purifier on. You can build a corsi-rosenthal box or just duct tape a single high quality furnace filter to the back of a box fan for even cheaper.

Yeah that would do it, I think the only downside of those higher temps is you can lose a lot of terpenes because their vaporization temp is much lower.

How long and at what temperature are you holding the oil? You can also get the temp too high and start boiling off the cannabinoids from your oil. I think most people decarb dry because it's safer than holding the oil well above boiling point. You can then infuse your decarbed weed at slow cooker temps for a few hours.

Ugh, what an awful situation, sorry you have to deal with this comrade.

In case this helps, if you've got access to an instant pot/pressure cooker and a mason jar it's a MUCH less smelly way to decarb weed and make oil. You could also just try the mason jar in the oven to knock down the smell (use tinfoil not the actual lid), but not sure how effective that decarb would be. Even poor efficiency is gonna be cheaper than buying premade edibles though.

See if there is a national cooperative association in your country, I've received help from them in the past when starting a co-op.

"lame" and "crippled/crippled by" were pointed out to me by a friend who has muscular dystrophy a few years ago, they are also both incredibly common. I've sadly had quite a bit of pushback when trying to correct comrades on it (even in the old r/CTH sub)

Yeah it's not something to fuck with but we keep forcing factory farmed animals to eat animal by-products/waste, and overcrowd/stress wild animal populations.

It's a certain protein that got misfolded, if it comes in contact with more of the original protein it causes that to also get misfolded. It can spread kinda similarly to a virus, via bodily fluids, animal-animal contact, in contaminated food/water, and by eating tainted meat in this case. Even if the deer was asymptomatic they can still spread the disease. The way the protein is folded causes it to be resistant to degradation so it can lay dormant for years or maybe decades in the environment. It causes horrifying symptoms causing deer to almost turn into zombies as their bodies waste away.

This is the CDC doing a Friday news dump with the official press release.
