What do YOU do with trim?

So I just harvested my Afghani Amnesia and now I have all this lovely snow covered trim. Usually I give it away but that person isn't responding so it is looking like I have to decide what to do next, feed it to the sheep? Just chuck it out? It is probably smokable but having jars of bud makes that an unlikely outcome.

What do you do with your trim?
 
Hi, Enigma.
Frosty trim is good for dry ice hash or making RSO, both of which I do.
You can also make cannabutter from it.
Be a shame to toss it out. If really frosty, you can make " canna caps" by decatbing the trim and filling gel caps with it. Makes a good stony edible.
 
Chocolate edible recipe. Buy a $3 or $4 fancy, flavored Ghirardelli or Lundt chocolate bar at the grocery store.
Melt in a double boiler on stove, low heat. I use a two cup Pyrex measuring cup in a pan half full of water.
Add RSO or decarbed hash/kief to desired potency, mix very well.
Pour while melted into silicone candy bar mold (Amazon - cheap).
Freeze, remove from mold, store in fridge.
Of course, you will want to lick the bowl. Make sure you have nothing else to do that day, 'cause you'll be wasted until morning!
 
I let the trim dry out in the trim bin. When I get around to it I shake the dried trim around in the bin to knock off the trichomes, save that and discard the rest. I have the aftermarket equipment to make gummies, tinctures, etc., but usually don't because edibles don't do anything for me. I don't like throwing away any part of my plants but that's what I do with the trim.
 
Extract it for tincture, butter, coconut oil, edibles in general. If I didn't have so much bud I would DFV it. Don't toss is out...
 
Dry ice isn't an option, I live in a small rural town and I doubt if it is even available in the next town over which is larger. RSO looks interesting but I have no rice cooker/crocpot type of appliance so I'll need to look into that. Isopropyl can be bought at the local hardware store so no problem there.
Thanks for the ideas guys (and gals?)
 
RSO:
-Use Swan 99% isopropyl $30/gal at Ace Hardware.
-Immerse bud for 5 min, strain. Redo again. Combine and filter.
-Here's the tricky part. Buy a 1 liter pyrex FILTER flask and rubber stopper for the top, plus 3' of plastic aquarium hose to fit nipple.
-Fill flask 80% with alcohol solution and boil on a hot plate, NEVER AN OPEN FLAME!
-Run other hose end into a covered coffee can sitting in an ice bath (recycles distilled isopropol).
- add alcohol until +/- 100-150 ml left, transfer to small flask to finish.
-alcohol gone when a drop on a paper clip won't spark under a lighter flame.

Strong stuff. Make it every harvest.
