Beyond Buds: The Guru of Ganja’s Guide to Cannabis Concentrates
Marijuana concentrates are more popular now than ever. And their acceptance is at an all-time high. In fact concentrates are the only marijuana application permitted under New York’s latest medical marijuana law. What was once considered trash—left over trim from manicuring buds—is now being concentrated into a prized stash of BHO, shatter, wax or budder. These exotic new extracts are so pure that they can contain upwards of 90 percent THC—instantly delivering relief to patients or knocking newbies right on their asses. And they’re the focus of a new book by living legend Ed Rosenthal, the Guru of Ganja and well-informed, weed-journalist David Downs.
Beyond Buds: Marijuana Extracts—Hash, Vaping, Dabbing, Edibles and Medicines
How’d Downs and Rosenthal gather all this insider information about everything from bleeding-edge extraction techniques to the top tools of the trade? “We traveled the state taking notes and photos and talked to technicians across the country to understand how modern extraction works, from ice water hash, to dry ice, to solvent, and CO2 supercritical extraction,” Downs writes in a recent Legalization Nation column. Damn. Now that must have been one hell of a road trip, right?
Want to make your own cannabis concentrates and save a ton of cash? The authors throw in detailed directions on making shit like kief, tinctures, topicals, edibles and myriad other extracts all from your trash—marijuana leaves, trim and teensy bud bits.
Whether you want to make your own concentrates without blowing up, learn how to consume them safely or just want an idea of what to look for when you’re purchasing ‘em, Beyond Buds is an essential guide for the newcomer and connoisseur alike.
Are you ready to go Beyond Buds, man?

No doubt Ed has probably done it again. We (the wife and I), would love an autographed copy of his new book. The reading will be educational, but the signature and adding this to our collection = PRICELESS. Timing could not be better either, ride the wave Ed!
Bee Smith
I love reading. I love weed. So I’ll be weeding haha. Yes I just made that up. #dontjudgeme #imhigh #hehehe
Lane
I’m just starting up again and I have been looking for a book for a long time. Every time I come close to finding an amazing book it always turns out to be flawed. I have not gotten a book from Ed but as I was talking to a few buds of mind they were telling me that ED’S books have amazing insight and the knowledge and time put into these book make them a master peace. As you all know many people will enter to win this master peace but only one will come out to be a winner. May the best of us win. Good luck!

Ed is the guru of Ganga. Bet it’s a great book like his others.

Hey Ed,
Long time reader. Started growing in 1972. Reading your books helped me out a lot. I started cloning before most growers tried cloning. Working on CBD breeds right now. Santa Cruz Tsunami. Love to post a flower picture. The Oil is Golden, having SC Labs test it next week. Go Giants

This is one of the books in time when people are learning about to use medical marijuana, whole over the world. This is a kitchen aid for whom who need it daily to use for their recovery of especial disorder. This weed has been know to use more than ten thousand years ago and will continue to use as long as the plant will be at earth. Also to know our endocannabinoid system how this weed containing chemicals are encoding by us human fellow and and activate various metabolic pathways to recovery the problem.

This book is stuff stoners like! If I win the autographed copy I’ll be less likely to use it as rolling papers!

Namaste… Thank you for this opportunity to connect with beautiful, like-minded individuals who want nothing less than the relegalization of Mother Nature’s Soma. It is to be used for salvation/redemption – whatever that means to you. It heals those who are ailing, and muses those who create. It is the very tree of knowledge that once connected all of mankind together, in Ancient Hindu times (which was WAAAAAAy before Abrahamic religions and Sumer or Egpyt ever showed up. India. It is the Indian Hemp weed. Shiva (one of my predecessors) was known to smoke hashish at every public gathering to the humans. Krishna (my past life) was also quite fond of the merit it played in the creative and healer’s soul.
Whoever wins this, congratulations! Know that it is no sheer coincidence that it happened, as “God does not play dice” – as Albert Einstein once said. The truth is, The Universe is -always- conspiring to work out in your favor.
Namaste,
~AVATAR Kalki
