I have also noticed this forum has went a bit cold, are there other forums that have more activity for Guernsey?
Yea Chuck, not much talking going on lately. Probably due to the lack of any activity round here. But with all the leases expiring this year,I'm sure this forum will soon see some jabber. There is a rig drilling in Guernsey again too, and another due to show up any day. Some Guernsey countians post on the main forum instead of this one.
A quick search of guernsey county recorder, showed Gulfport released 160 acre lease along McCoy road, in January. It was a Tri-Star Energy Holdings lease. I'm not familiar with the details of those. Actually, they have released 4 of them since first of the year.
The KWGD Gulfport leases will up for renewal in late October.
I'll refresh your memory and say I am the guy from NC that holds a lease with my brothers.
We signed with Shell in Oct. 2011.Minerals in Londonderry twp.
A few days ago, a Mr. Whesterfield from Purple Land Resouces in N. Canton came to my brother's door, saying he is representing Ascent Resources and wanted to sign a year lease.
Non figures were discussed and the visit short.
My sister-in-law is having serious health problems and my brother ask for another time to talk.
It is 8 months till the lease is up and we found it strange we would be getting an offer for a year lease so soon.
What do you or anyone else think about this?
'I'd say if they want a 1 year ,Lease extension,instead of 5 year, it should be worth 1/5 th of what the 5 year re-lease should have been. I recall that was $5000. per acre. So it should be $1000. per acre to extend the lease 1 year. They must be planning on drilling within a year? At least it's better than what Eclispe has been offering people to extend their leases. They want to extend 5 years,but want to pay in 1 year installments.
Thanks for the thoughts Bo!
You're with Ascent, too, aren't you?
Have you been givin' an offer or been contacted?
I remember you saying, in a past comment that you, too, were located in our area, leased with Ascent.
Makes sense what you said but what do you think about holding out for a 5 year, same terms as original lease?
Have no idea if they are planning to drill.
Do these oil companies,usually contact, soon to be expired lease owners, 8 months before the lease will expire?
My lease says 180 days they can start negotiating a new lease.
This is 2 months earlier than expected.
When I know something about the offer, I will share it with y'all.
Thanks for everyone's ideas on this.
I was leased with Shell, Now Aubrey. I kind of like the one year lease Idea. Easier on Taxes! And maybe they will continue to re-new the new lease every year. Cheaper for them, if they aren't gonna drill right away. I also have 2 separate leases with Chesapeake. Not in a drilled unit yet. Maybe Aubrey is feeling out the landowners with leases coming due,to see what the mindset is?
Until my brother and the rep from Purple Land Resources, come together, we won't really know what the deal is.
Is Aubrey(AEU/Ascent) seroiusly wanting to offer us a renewal or they just feeling us out to what we expect to be offered?
I feel like you, Aubrey McClendon has his "feelers" out!
8 months in advance before the lease runs out.
Anyone else out there, that signed with AEU//Ascent, been contacted and want to share some info with us all?
Have mineral rights only. located---------north of Rt. 22/west side of Skullfork Rd.--section 21 on the ODNR map.
Land is owned by K&R ConservationLLC.
ncman, which company currently holds your lease?
I am sure you are right but no harm in dreaming! LOL!
Do you, or anyone that has been in my position, being approached with an offer for a one year lease, have any suggestions how to approach the person giving the one year offer.
Do you wheel and deal, until you come to an agreement?
just to see if he really wants your lease badly enough.
Wait till he contacts you back, for the second time?
Any guidance or suggestions, by anyone, on this subject, will be much appreciated.
Appointment with the rep from AEU/Ascent will be in the very near future.

20 Years Later, Workplace Sexual Harassment and Anita Hill Still Linked
It was 20 years ago this month that Anita Hill testified against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas regarding sexual harassment. Her accusations were part of testimony subpoenaed during a Senate investigation into Clarence Thomas. At the time of the alleged harassment, Clarence Thomas was her boss at the U.S. Department of Education and, ironically, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Ms. Hill's disappointment in Clarence Thomas eventually being confirmed by the Supreme Court was in part a result of feeling "…they didn't understand the relevance of my testimony to Thomas' respect for the law. He did these things while he was in charge of enforcing sexual harassment laws."
But the confirmation of Clarence Thomas did not stop Ms. Hill's testimony from positively affecting sexual harassment. In 1980, only one sexual harassment complaint was filed with the EEOC. After Ms. Hill's testimony in 1991, 6870 complaints were filed. That number almost doubled again in 1992, and the complaints continued to increase for years, only tapering off more recently. What was once a subject too embarrassing to discuss became common conversation in workplaces across the nation. Women who previously kept quiet for fear of losing their jobs or other retaliation began seeking justice.
Sexual harassment was included in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects employees from discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. Years later, the Civil Rights Act of 1991 was passed, strengthening sexual harassment and all other discrimination laws by allowing a complainant to seek emotional distress damages and have a jury trial.
What constitutes sexual harassment? The EEOC website says:
"Harassment can include 'sexual harassment' or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.
Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include offensive remarks about a person's sex. For example, it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general.
Both victim and the harasser can be either a woman or a man, and the victim and harasser can be the same sex.
Although the law doesn't prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer."
If sexual harassment has occurred, there are several types of damages that can be awarded. Lost wages, medical bills, and compensation for emotional distress are typical damages in any discrimination or harassment case. Attorneys' fees can be recovered, and the plaintiff may be entitled to pre-judgment interest on lost wages, which can be a substantial amount if her salary was high and the case does not go to trial right away. If the harassment was particularly harsh or malicious, punitive damages may be awarded as well.
Not all bad behavior by employers or co-workers constitutes sexual harassment. A boss who is rude and overbearing may be challenging to work with and annoying, but if he acts this way toward all of his employees, there may not be a harassment case, just a serious character flaw. If someone is singled out because of his or her sex, the victim may be eligible for compensation. It is important to contact an employment law firm such as Charles W. Miller & Associates to determine if your case is valid.

Working in the world of fresh fruits and vegetables is a blessing because it gives us all the opportunity to live on the side of the angels, working to move a product that is not merely enjoyable but genuinely beneficial for individuals and the world at large.
At our events, we always like to have athletes present, partly because the story of healthy living involves both food and fitness, partly because sport is a story of achievement – as Jim McKay on ABC's Wide World of Sports reminded us "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" — and so inspiring for us all.
And when an individual has had some bad luck, yet has not allowed himself or herself to accept this misfortune as a justification for failing to achieve, we all get the benefit of realizing that our problems are often petty and that, we too, can rise above our difficulties and achieve the things we value in our lives.
A: In 1997 I got into an accident on the trampoline during practice. The accident was so bad that they had to amputate my left leg through the knee. Ever since then, I have had to keep believing: If you want something, you can achieve it no matter what kind of handicap you have.
Q: It's truly inspiring and courageous. How did your passion for sport in general begin?
A: It began when I started on the trampoline. I wanted to make it to the Olympics. Then several years after I had my accident, I started hand cycling. My Olympic dream changed into a Paralympic dream.
Q: You are also a motivational speaker with a strong message, "let your physical disability not be a mental limitation." How did you get into speaking and what do you enjoy the most about it?
A: I started speaking in 2015 when the Tour de France started in The Netherlands. I went to schools to tell children about the tour and also about Paralympic cycling. My message was that even if you have a handicap, you don't have to quit chasing your dream.
Q: How did the children react to your advice?
A: They all reacted really surprised because of my amputated leg, but were enthusiastic. I also told these kids that they need to be aware of healthy food like vegetables and fruit.
Q: How did the messages tie in between chasing one's dreams and being aware of healthy food? For example, do you think nutrition has a big part to play in performance as an athlete?
A: I explained that the baseline is to eat healthy food like fruit and vegetables. That's the start. Furthermore, if you show progress, you can focus on the moments you eat the food.
Q: What do you mean by that? To focus on the moments?
A: Well basically, the rule is to eat fruit and vegetables during the day. The fruit I take in the morning, and the vegetables I take in the afternoon just to have dinner. Then on a certain point like I am now, on a high sport's level, it's about taking the fruits at the right moment. You have to have the right amount of carbohydrate and eat at the right moment, so that you can train.
Q: So when you are training you have specific moment for specific types of food.
A: Exactly. When I was younger, my mother gave me breakfast, lunch and dinner. Right now I'm just eating every 2 hours just to get the vitamins and to get all the things I need, and to be not as full as I would be after one big dinner. If I'm full, then I cannot train at maximum capacity. So right now, I take a little bit of vegetables, bread, meat and fruit, during the whole day.
Q: How did you come to this routine or discipline? How do you know what works for you?
A: I have a dietician. I tell her what I'm eating at each moment. She tells me to eat certain kinds of food at certain times of the day. For example, fruit and muesli are good in the morning. After the training, protein is best; no protein before the training. So that's the kind of way my dietician directs me. Then I start trying it myself, seeing what I like and what is keeping my stomach good.
Q: We are really interested in how nutrition plays a role in performance as an athlete. What you are describing sounds like there is quite an important role in it.
A: Absolutely. Also during the workout, and during the competition, nutrition is so important. I have had some problems in the past when I didn't have enough carbohydrates and I got hunger pains.
Q: Do you ever adapt your diet according to a specific training you are doing? For example, can you tell us about the high altitude tent you stay in while gearing up for a competition?
A: Yes I'm using a high altitude tent in my house before a world competition. It blows less oxygen in, as if I would be in the mountains. I stay in a high altitude tent because the red cells in my blood produce more in this oxygen level. In this case, it's important to have iron. What I want to achieve is to have as much oxygen flowing into my muscles at the moment before a big race. Basically, I want to get the maximum capacity out of my muscles. Iron and green vegetables are such an important thing during this high-altitude training.
Q: This is going very deep into the performance level and the influence of nutrition in performance. What advice would you give people in general about how nutrition can help them?
A: In 2015, I was going to talk with kids in several schools in Utrecht where I live, and I was asking them what they eat. What surprised me the most, and I have children of my own, is that many children said they didn't take breakfast. I was stunned. However, just yesterday, it was on the news that more children are actually having breakfast, so that's a good development.
I would say don't go out the door without breakfast, because you need the energy to walk to school or to take the bike to go to school. When you have a good breakfast, the brain starts to work too. It's all connected.
Q: Do you have any favorite fruits and vegetables?
A: Definitely yes. Every morning I always want to have a banana, and I take three parts of fruit at least: kiwi, banana and mandarins. I also really love pears, and occasionally I take a mango. That's mainly my breakfast just before training.
A: Yes. I'm a real Dutch man, so the potatoes are always in the dish. I'm a married man, and I cook for my family Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The main thing for me is beans, string beans, and the short ones you cut into little pieces. Mainly I cook potatoes, the vegetables and a little piece of meat. I don't' ever make lasagna. My wife does that but that's taking a lot more time. I want to do it fast and more simple.
Q: Sounds like a very well balanced meal.
A: Yes that's important for me and for my children too.
Q: Do you have any favorite restaurants?
A: I don't go to restaurants often. It is because it is always a specialty restaurant, like meat, or fish, or Mexican for example. What I miss is always the vegetables. They don't give many vegetables. That's the reason that I don't go out for dinner a lot. It's not that healthy.
Q: So you are more into home cooking, which means you go to the supermarket more perhaps. When you go to the supermarket, do you feel informed about the products?
A: I don't have to be that much informed because I have my dietician and I know what to take. However, I think a lot of people don't know the importance of fresh vegetables. When you go into a supermarket, you see all the little cans with preserved fruits and vegetables. Those cans have no vitamins. Yet, I see a lot of people in my neighborhood thinking they are eating healthy by eating what's in these cans.
Q: In terms of fresh vegetables, do you opt for specific types, such as local or organic?
A: No. I generally just go for what I would like to eat: beetroots, string beans, cauliflower, broccoli.
Q: What advice do you have for aspiring athletes?
A: Don't ever think you are beaten because of a handicap. It's something you overcome. Sit like you haven't been beaten.
You asked me about motivational speaking as well. The message that I want to give out there is that if you ever have a negative situation, there is always one spark of positivity in that negativity. The trick is to pick that positive thing out of it and keep on going with the positive. That is what my life is about. Ever since 1997 when I lost my leg, there have been a lot of nice things, but there have been a lot of sad things too. Every time, I try to pick a little bit of positivity out and keep moving on.
I have had a lot of truly inspiring moments because of losing my leg. It's just a trick to pick that little thing of positivity. It's not always easy to pick it out when everything can be so negative.
Q: How do you always manifest this then?
A: When I did the road race in Rio last year during the Paralympics, I was in the front. In the end, I came in 9th place because in the last 800 meters I hit a little barrier and I came to the back. I was able to race to the podium still, but I didn't make it to win. Later someone told me I had a flat tire. I didn't know that. The positive thing here is that I somehow had the energy to come back, even though I had a flat tire. I am disappointed but that is the little thing that made me move on.
That comes in a split second. That insight.
Q: It's like the cloud with the silver lining.
A: That is my main message. Keep moving on.

Biscuits outlast Lookouts
From wire, staff reports
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Dalton Kelly hit a run-scoring single in the fifth inning, leading the Montgomery Biscuits to a 9-7 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts on Friday.
Yoel Espinal allowed a run, but got Luis Arraez to fly out with runners on first and third to end the game for his third save of the season.
The single by Kelly started the scoring in a four-run inning and gave the Biscuits a 3-2 lead. Later in the inning, Jake Cronenworth hit a two-run single and Kelly scored on a double play.
The Biscuits later added a run in the sixth and two in the seventh. In the sixth, Nathaniel Lowe hit an RBI single, while Thomas Milone hit a two-run single in the seventh.
Chattanooga saw its comeback attempt come up short after Brent Rooker hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to help cut the Montgomery lead to 9-7.
Lowe doubled and singled three times, driving in a run and also scoring one for Montgomery.
J.D. Martin (7-9) got the win in relief while Williams Ramirez (2-5) took the loss.
The Lookouts left some scoring opportunities on the table, stranding 12 baserunners in the loss. Rooker homered and singled, driving home three runs and scoring a couple for the Lookouts. Jaylin Davis was a home run short of the cycle, driving in two runs.
The two teams play again at 6:15 p.m. Saturday.


So at the end of August, I decided that I wanted to travel somewhere in October. Not much lead time, I know. I had been eyeing a few destinations, and Morocco was one of them. But convenient flights were pretty expensive. The cheapest one that I had seen was $720 ish roundtrip, but that was with a 14 hour layover in Instanbul. Ain't nobody got time for that. The next best option was at a $1500 price point. Anyway, I still don't know what happened, but when I refreshed the tab that one night, I saw a $900 roundtrip from Air Canada, with just a 2 hour layover in Montreal. What happened?!?! I couldn't even book it on Air Canada (it was showing up as $1500+), but I was luckily able to book on Kayak, and I just prayed that it wasn't some glitch. I told my boyfriend about 10 minutes before I booked, and he was down to go 😀 So that's how this trip came to be.
We landed in Casablanca early in the morning and met Hassan, our wonderful guide and driver for the next 10 days. He gave us a brief overview of our first day's itinerary, and we started on the drive to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Main sights there were Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum. We also made a stop at a 12th century castle. The town within the Kasbah was super pretty – almost like a mini version of Chefchaouen (the blue city, featured in Day 2). We got to our hotel early-ish afternoon, and had the rest of the day to wander, relax, and recover from jetlag, lol. We discovered the famous Moroccan tagine dish on our first day (thanks to Hassan), and the rest of the trip, we had tagine at least one meal a day. So good!! Tagine is their version of a pressure cooker, and the texture of the meat that comes out of that thing is incredible! Lamb, chicken, beef, even vegetables!
Highlight of Day 3 was definitely seeing the Roman ruins in Volubilis. I didn't even know the Roman empire extended all the way down to Morocco. It's amazing how in tact most of the ruins are. The mosaics (my personal favorite) were absolutely breathtaking. Hassan found us a local tour guide to take us through the ruins. His English wasn't the greatest but we were able to put our high school Spanish skills to use! Especially in the northern part of the country, you'll find that locals are quite fluent in Spanish, in addition to Arabic and French. We ended our day in Fes, where we had time to do some exploring on our own before the guided tour the next day.
Hassan set us up with an excellent guide to take us around the medina in Fes. We also got to visit a art/craft center outside the medina, where we saw what goes into making the amazing mosaics and ceramic pieces that Morocco is known for. It was crazy to see the artists working in person. They are so talented! Within the medina itself, we got to tour the souks, the old University, the tanneries, and a couple of additional specialty stores known for their craft (tablecloths/stitching, Moroccan rugs, etc.). This was so much better than our experience the previous day, where we tried to wander the souks ourselves. Of course, we got lost, and with so many people trying to scam us, it was quite the stressful experience. But an experience nonetheless. I'm happy we ended our stay in Fes on a better note though, with our wonderful guide.
Desert day!! Another long day of driving, but once again, totally worth. Had to do some off-roading to get to the sand dunes in the Merzouga Desert (located at the edge of the Sahara), and we thank Hassan again for being an amazing driver! We had a 1-hour camel ride into the desert to get to our camp, and the views were amazing!! Another experience that I'm probably going to do a separate post on. Everyone at the camp was so friendly. The food was great, the tents were well-maintained, with running water, showers/toilets and everything. Loved the Berber hospitality, and the desert environment is truly one of a kind. We spend so much time just sitting on the sand dunes admiring the views in all directions. And when the sun set, the stars that lit up the night sky were incredible. Not something you'd ever be able to see in the city. We voluntarily woke up the next day at 5:30am to catch the stars again, and to see sunrise. An amazing experience overall, and definitely one of my favorites of the whole trip.
More trekking in the desert area. So many palm tree groves!! We tried dates for the first time – really not what I expected! The region there is known for dates, so all the markets that we went to , dates were everywhere. Downside is that flies really like the dates too, so there were a lot of flies around the desert area as well. But small price to pay for the amazing experience that we had. We got to see the Todra Gorge in the High Atlas Mountains – honestly looked like something from Arizona, even though I've never been to Arizona haha. It's just what I imagine Arizona to look like. We stayed that night in Dades Valley, at the cutest hotel with the most welcoming staff. The home-cooked dinner was amazing, as was breakfast the next morning.
Ouarzazate is the Hollywood of Morocco, and we got to visit several studios where major films had been made. We also visited Ait Benhadou Kasbah – definitely the highlight of the day! It's classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has appeared in several films like the Mummy, Gladiator, even the TV series Game of Thrones! It's quite the climb to get up to the Kasbah, but Hassan found us another great local guide who walked us through and gave us a good overview of the history there. We ended our day in Marrakech, and did some exploring of our own. The souks in Marrakech are so much easier to navigate than the ones in Fes! Well, I think they just look less intimidating cause the streets are wider. But overall, we liked Marrakech way better.
Hassan paired us up with another local guide to tour the city of Marrakech. Lots of walking, but hey, after all the tagine, we needed the exercise. We got to see the Bahia Palace, the Saadian tombs, and the Koutoubia Tower. And, of course, the souks. We visited a local pharmacy where they gave us samples of Argan oil and other lotions (all of them smelled amazing, btw). Visited another carpet and leather store, where I finally caved and bought a pair of Moroccan slippers! Did an ok job haggling too, if I do say so myself. We learned our lesson, though, haha, after getting kicked out of a tablecloth shop in Fes for offending the vendor. Lesson learned…make sure you agree with your travel buddy on a final price before you start the bargain. Otherwise, they'll pit you against each other and everything unravels, lol.
Our last day in Morocco! 10 days went by so fast. So honestly, there's not a whole lot to do in Casablanca. The two main sights (which we both hit) are the Hassan II mosque and Rick's Cafe (made famous by the movie Casablanca, which I still need to see). The Hassan II mosque is breathtaking. It's huge!! And so majestic. Perfect place for photos. We stopped by a cute area for lunch with an ocean view. Also tried McDonalds haha. We were curious after seeing McDonalds everywhere in Casablanca! But after trying their chicken nuggets and fries, we've decided that the version in the states is still better.
And that's a wrap! Overall, our 10-day experience in Morocco was fantastic. Highly recommend Best Morocco Private Tours as a tour company. Hassan was a great guide and an amazing driver. Seriously…there was so much driving involved. We would have never been able to get to the desert ourselves if we had rented a car, haha. And the roads in the mountains were very difficult to navigate! But Hassan handled them like a champ. We learned so much about the country from him. His English is great and he's very responsive and easy to reach via email. The process of booking the tour was quick and thorough. He was happy to make adjustments so that we could hit all the places we wanted to see, and he continued to follow up closer to our arrival date to confirm our flight times, etc. Coordination of everything while we were in Morocco was also seamless. The local guides that he found (especially Fes and Marrakech) were wonderful, and everyone was always super punctual. The trip was a perfect balance of free time and guided tours, and that's something that we really appreciated!

US President Trump's press conference yesterday offered little substance, but the signaling effect may matter to markets. This was a performance by "candidate Trump." If candidate Trump is back, the policies of candidate Trump may be back. There may also be questions about how candidate Trump works with Congress.
Congressional relations could become increasingly important to investors. Most of Trump's constructive policy proposals require Congressional approval. Most of Trump's destructive policy proposals do not require Congressional approval. How much collaboration there is with Congress could shape the overall tone of policy.
The ECB minutes demonstrated that things, indeed, change. The ECB signaled that it would not be too bothered about the rules when buying government bonds (implicitly, particularly when buying Italian government bonds). Under ECB President Draghi, the mantra seems to be "anything goes."
UK retail sales data may excite some interest. The UK consumer continues to be partially sheltered from the weakness of sterling (which is being absorbed in profit margins to some extent). However, labor market strength has not produced much wage acceleration. The degree of consumer resilience may signal the balance of these forces.


The £5 million contract to deliver phase one and two of the East Leeds Orbital Route has been awarded to Balfour Beatty by Leeds City Council. Works will include improvements to a number of existing Outer Ring Road junctions and the widening to three junctions along the A6120 Ring Road. Balfour Beatty will also be responsible for the design of the £87 million 7km East Leeds Orbital Route.
The initial highway work forms a part of the wider East Leeds Extension (ELE) programme, which on completion will be the largest road scheme in the city since the 1970s.
"We are delighted to have been awarded the initial contract to commence improvement works to the East Leeds Orbital Route," said Thomas Edgcumbe, Balfour Beatty Managing Director for its North and Midlands regional business.
"We are looking forward to working in partnership with Leeds City Council and making a significant and sustainable contribution to the local economy and community. We have a wealth of experience in the design and delivery of highways schemes and this award is testament to the success of our work across the UK," he continued.
With work due to commence next month, phase one and two are expected to be completed next summer. Through the project, Balfour Beatty will make a significant and sustainable contribution to the local economy, engaging with Employment Leeds to deliver employment and skills workshops for the surrounding community.
This contract award follows the robust contingency measures taken by Leeds City Council to deal with the original supplier, Carillion, being unable to deliver the work.
The East Leeds Orbital Route is being been financed through the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's 'West Yorkshire-plus Transport Fund'. The Fund is part of the Leeds City Region Growth Deal, a £1 billion package of Government investment through the Combined Authority and Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) that will accelerate growth and create jobs across Leeds City Region.

High-Tech Plants: A Guide to Cannabis Extraction Methods
If you barely recognize cannabis these days, join the club! With cannabis medicine taking all sorts of—no pun intended—high-tech forms like CBD oil, RSO and tablets, it's a whole new world when it comes to one of nature's oldest plant remedies.
But how do plants get transformed into such a bewildering array of formulations? Welcome to the fascinating world of cannabis extraction methods! From very ancient handmade approaches to techniques developed in strict laboratory conditions, here's a survey of some of the most noteworthy ways cannabis researchers and producers are bringing the healing power of cannabis to an ever-wider audience.
Cannabis Extraction Methods: A Brief History
Believe it or not, we humans have relied on cannabis for roughly 5,000 years! As long ago as 2900 BCE, Chinese physicians were using cannabis to treat pain and inflammation, among many other conditions we'd readily recognize.
The first known cannabis extract—Hashish, or hash—shows up around 900 AD. Hash is made by removing and concentrating the gooey trichomes that coat the cannabis flower, often by manually rubbing cannabis flower or soaking it in ice water. While its popularity has faded with the introduction of newer and more potent cannabis extracts, it still occupies an important place in the history of cannabis extraction methods. We should note that the unpressed or "powdered" form of hash is called kief; it's frequently added to cannabis flower to add potency and flavor.
Cannabis Extraction Methods: Modern Approaches
More recently, cannabis was extracted into the liquid tinctures and oral solutions that were sold in pharmacies all over the United States through the end of the 19th century. But the modern story of cannabis extracts really takes off in the 1990s, when the butane hash oil (BHO) technique gained popularity. While the process was risky—both due to the exposure to chemical solvents and the legal environment of the day—a series of refinements eventually led to the safe, effective, and widely accepted techniques used today.
CO2 Cannabis Extracts
While BHO extracts still have their place—especially among medical cannabis patients suffering from serious symptoms such as chronic pain and sleep disorders—they've largely been supplanted by CO2 extraction. CO2 extracts use solvents such as ethanol, butane or carbon dioxide to remove the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant matter. Using careful and precise practices developed in the laboratory, these products are then carefully purged of solvents and any other impurities. If you've ever used a cannabis vape, there's a good chance you were sampling a product made by CO2 extraction. Although it's not as nuanced as some other extracts, it's still a potent, effective and self-stable product.
When it comes to flavor, one of the most exciting developments in the cannabis extract world are the semi-solid products known as "live resins." Made with flash-frozen cannabis flower as opposed to the dried and cured cannabis flower you're probably familiar with, live resins contain an extremely high proportion of flavorful and aromatic terpenes. As a result, many people describe live resins as being nearly "hyperrealistic" in terms of their flavor profiles.
On the other end of the spectrum is RSO, short for "Rick Simpson Oil." Invented by an amateur home chemist to treat his skin cancer, RSO is produced by extracting cannabinoids into a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol, then reducing the extract into a viscous oil with gentle heat. It can be taken orally or topically, and it's known for its straightforward relief of medical users' symptoms.
Cannabis Tablets and Capsules
Finally, you may even have heard of or tried cannabis tablets and capsules. While they're produced by a number of different extraction methods, they typically combine a potent cannabis concentrate with an emulsifier such as soy lecithin to form a dense, consistent, and shelf-stable product.
Believe it or not, we've only scratched the surface when it comes to the world of cannabis extraction methods. Hopefully, this article gives you an idea of the various types of approaches enterprising cannabis producers have used to improve the potency and usefulness of this truly ancient plant medicine!
