This wasted money on cannabis video short is the behind the scenes cannabis video fail that spawned an entire redo. While testing 80 proof versus 190 proof alcohol for cannabis tincture extraction, the jars got mixed up mid-shoot — and what seemed like a complete video turned out to be unusable. The result: roughly $100 of cannabis, alcohol, and time down the drain. Here are the 5 hard lessons from that expensive mistake, useful for anyone making cannabis content or doing at-home cannabis experiments.
What Happened: The $100 Behind the Scenes Cannabis Video Fail
The plan was straightforward — a side-by-side comparison of 80 proof and 190 proof alcohol for cannabis tincture extraction, tested with a TCheck potency meter. The cannabis was decarbed, measured, and split into two jars. Both were shaken for the same amount of time. The TCheck tests were run. But somewhere in the middle of filming — while high — the jars were mixed up. The 190 proof results were recorded as 80 proof results, and vice versa. The whole video had to be scrapped and reshot the next day. This is the wasted money on cannabis video short that warned viewers before the redo video dropped.
Wasted Money on Cannabis Video Short: 5 Hard Lessons
Lesson 1: Label Everything Before You Start
The single root cause of this behind the scenes cannabis video fail was unlabeled jars. Both jars looked identical after being filled. A piece of tape and a marker would have prevented the entire mistake. Whenever you are running a comparison experiment — especially one involving cannabis — label every container before adding anything to it. Do not wait until after filling.
Lesson 2: Do Not Film Science Experiments While High
Cannabis content creation mistakes often come from the obvious irony of being high while making educational cannabis content. For recreational videos, being high on camera is fine — it is part of the vibe. But for controlled experiments that require tracking multiple variables (jar A vs jar B, weight A vs weight B, result A vs result B), sobriety matters. The redo video was filmed sober specifically to prevent a repeat of the confusion.
