Can you tell if buds have been through extraction?

The friend who introduced me to the DNM said he knows a local guy that flushes some of his inv. with butane. He keeps the extract and sells the bud as if it was unpurged.

Isn't this something that would be easy for an experienced smoker to notice? Or would you need to know what to look for? (Besides not getting very high)

This would be obvious to anybody who has bought weed more than once.

I recently purchased some "top shelf" bud from a well known, reputable vendor that I'm pretty sure had gone thru some process of extraction. The buds were intact, zero frostiness, smelled like fresh cut grass, but wouldn't get you beyond a very mild buzz. I was quick to question it and was promptly reshipped some quality herb. It can happen.

If the extraction was a light ride on a silkscreen you wouldn't notice.

if the buds have no obvious resin glands, there is a good chance its been blasted w/butane. they would also smell a bit like butane, and be very weak in potency. i am along time grower, extractionist and, yes this would be a very easy (and unethical) way to make some extra cash. BEWARE.

Would be blatantly obvious lol.

i believe this story. this does happen in real life. and abroad.

can be hard to tell by visual inspection under the naked eye.

Obvious how? Looks? Smell? I've experimented with extracting but always dried and ground the herb up first. That stuff didn't look much different after it was thoroughly purged with pure butane though.

I'm pretty sure the long since banned aircanada was doing this on Evo or something similar, selling shatter and the bud it was made from

Cool replies. I experimented with extraction and didn't do it right. The herb was still potent and I had a smidge of good oil to boot. But that was ground.
