Josh 395 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Isn’t this just OA sublimation/vaporisation? If so, then there is no need to wait. Link to post Share on other sites

Philbee 4,675 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 MPI cant say yes and wont say yes. That doesn't mean it will be harmful to the Honey or that you will go to Jail. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe, but its highly likely that OA will be the lessor of many evils if someone wants to start checking that seriously. Consider that there is OA in Honey anyway Edited January 14, 2018 by Philbee 1 Link to post Share on other sites
