Area 52: A Pros and Cons Examination Through a Cloud of Smoke (and Doubt) The Alluring Pros: Solventless CO2 Extraction & "Natural" Ingredients: Area 52 boasts solventless CO2 extraction, a method generally considered cleaner and more environmentally sound than solvent-based approaches. This appeals to the eco-conscious consumer, the one who cringes at the thought of residual butane lingering in their vape cartridge. Furthermore, their emphasis on "natural" ingredients and catering to vegan/gluten-free diets taps into a growing health and wellness trend, a demographic increasingly concerned about what they put into their bodies and the impact on the planet. We like to see businesses catering to this demographic. Potent Cannabinoids & Novelty: Area 52’s offering extends beyond the usual CBD fare, venturing into the realms of Delta 8/9, THCA, and even the more esoteric Amanita Muscaria (mushroom-derived). This diverse cannabinoid catalog caters to the adventurous consumer seeking novel psychoactive experiences. The risk here is that a lack of understanding can be detrimental, and even dangerous. Do your own research, before consuming any of these products. Third-Party Testing & Transparency (Allegedly): The claim of third-party testing is crucial. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) provide a degree of assurance regarding potency and purity, mitigating the risk of consuming adulterated or mislabeled products. However, a cursory glance at online reviews reveals inconsistencies in the availability and accessibility of these COAs. Caveat emptor, friends.
