I'm growing original Ducksfoot now. I have a clone of a few seeds that came way up here 15 years ago and is grown by a handfull of locals. No males left so all are clones. I'm going to STS mooma duck and at least create fem seed to perserve this awesome plant!
here are some of my greenhouse ducksfoot taken in Sept. 2016

I make an alcohol extract using my Magical Butter machine a 160F for 2 hours then filter and place in a glass dish to evaporate. I cover the dish with a screen and place it in my charcoal grill ( NO FIRE.... ) as the sun heats it a bit and let it evaporate. I find a slow evaporation gives a better product in the end and gives me a non-decarbed oil. This is what my lady who has MS takes.
If I need it decarbed, I put some RSO in a dish, pop it in the oven for 26 minutes @ 250F

From this article:
http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000336
"The University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project (UMPMC) tested seized marijuana from all 50 states to determine the percentage of THC, the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
The average potency of all marijuana in the US, according to the UMPMC's Dec. 2008 – Mar. 2009 quarterly report, was 8.52% (5.62% domestic and 9.57% nondomestic).
The highest tested sample had 22.04% THC (domestic) and 27.30% THC (nondomestic). The highest tested sample ever tested between 1975 and 2009 had 33.12% THC (domestic) and 37.20% THC (nondomestic).
For comparison, the national average of marijuana's THC content in 1978 was 1.37%, in 1988 it was 3.59%, in 1998 4.43%, and in 2008 8.49%.
Although average potencies have increased, the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) reported in the June 4, 2002 Washington Post article "The Real Dope: Tried the 'Today's Pot Is Stronger' Claim With Your Kids? Your Cover Is Blown" that "joint sizes have dropped over the years from half a gram to about a quarter of a gram." In addition, pipes, water pipes, and vaporizers typically require less marijuana per use than joints and these items have become increasingly popular over the last 30 years. Some medical marijuana advocates contend that more potent marijuana means less marijuana is needed to achieve the desired medical benefit.
ProCon.org compiled a table of marijuana potency from 1975-2003. The data was tabulated from the Annual Reports of Mahmoud A. ElSohly, PhD, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Marijuana Project at the National Center for Natural Products Research, School of Pharmacy, University of Mississippi."
I found this article to be very interesting. It's a few years old, now, but the reported data in it reflects "random" tests done over many years. If that data is anywhere near correct, then it could explain a lot. I've always wished for someone to just randomly go into a rec store or dispensary and grab a few samples of "the best" and then have an independent and reputable lab do the tests on it to see what the percentages really are. I'd bet dimes to dollars that a lot of those strains reported to be in the 20% -30% range are complete bullshit. In fact, I've got a couple strains from the rec store right here and one says 28% and the other says 30%....I should be under the table...psssshhh.
