Mentor Capital and Cannabis Edibles on Cover of Food & Drink
Business Wire - Tue Sep 09, 11:17AM CDT
Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTC Markets: MNTR) announced it is pleased to be on the cover and featured in the "Budding Opportunities" Fall 2014 edition of Food & Drink which explores the "emerging world of cannabis edibles." Over a range of topics and in plain terms, the article explains how and how much heating of marijuana by smoking or baking activates the psychoactive THC. This gave birth to the joint and the magic brownies of the 60's. These mainstays are now being updated with vape systems and cannabis infused edible products. Similarly, the tried and true process of extracting the active marijuana oils by making cannabutter on the stove top is described. Here, the most modern approach is to now use liquefied CO2 at 1,000 atmospheres which also dissolves oils. Reducing the pressure releases the gas leaving only the very pure cannabis extract behind.
