purifying cheap vodka to quality vodka?

[frizzantik]

about the THC....the reason it's cooked in butter isn't to make it more active or bioavailable...that doesn't get changed

actually, the reason you need to heat thc is because the thc in the plant is actually THC-COOH which isn't nearly as active as THC. heating THC decarboxilized it (removes the carboxil (COOH) group)

this vodka thing was checked out on mythbusters.......they filtered the cheap vodka 6 times, and they put it to a blind taste test.....they got some professional drink tester, kari, and the guy who wears tht beret.....anyway the gist of it all is, the vodka does become better thru the filtration process however taste wise it doesn't top the top shelf vodka.....however the chemical constituents of the cheap vodka were the same as the top shelf vodka.....they drank 8 versions....from first filtration to the top shelf and one control....the professional ordered from control to top shelp in ascending order...so it does mean the quality can become better thru each filtration....

For everyone who hates paying for expensive vodka like Ketel One and Grey Goose, but loves the cheap prices of Taaka and McCormick, I would suggest a vodka called Svedka. Its only like 10-12 dollars for a 5th and it was rated 1 point lower than Grey Goose in a taste test, so there you go for anyone who has never heard of it, or maybe seen it and never gave it a try. Compared to the taste of Grey Goose, Goose is more vanilla/marshmellowy while Svedka is a little bitter.
