I have found that the industry for the production of extracts that go in these cartridges is very widespread, sometimes operating in plain site.
For example, I bought a very large (15 gallon) vacuum chamber system directly from a US-based vendor. My use-case was to off-gas various slurries and compounds I use for my hobbies, such as casting molten aluminum. Although it was not directly mentioned on their e-commerce site, after a few follow-up marketing emails, I quickly realized they were geared towards solutions for businesses performing high-yield CBD extraction processes.
Ignoring all the politics of the related industries, I thought it was pretty interesting to find such a business by accident and that anyone with the right circumstances could potentially perform these processes with equipment available to general consumers - though I imagine there may be some chemicals that require a permit at the necessary concentrations.

- lovich 4y agoIt was the same deal with buying any sort of hydroponics or aquaponics systems. I was a hobby gardener in a city apartment so had to do sealed systems for growing plants and I always got the oddest looks when the employees at various stores realized that when I was discussing growing my "peas" and "tomatoes" that I actually meant peas and tomatoes. Its a plant with no novel mechanical or chemical properties as far as I am aware when it comes to processing, so there's no real way for the government to block the marketing of the tools without hitting many other industries

- lacksconfidence 4y agoButane isn't generally a preferred solvent, i suspect people use it because it's easily available in relatively pure form. I'm far from an expert but brands typically advertise something more like a supercritical CO2 based extraction process. Which i guess is to say, I think they blew up their apartment because their goverenment doesn't allow commercial chemistry to be applied at relevant scales to marijuana, users are then jumping into suboptimal home-made solutions.
