Used to buy oil in the UK it was £15 a gram. Heavy hitting used to send me to sleep. Method I used for smoking was :- scrape some onto a knife heat the other side of knife untill the oil starts to run then wipe it of with some tobacco, roll it up and smoke .If your anti tobacco wipe it off with some nice weed. These days I find with all the good bud available not many people bother. But if you've never tried it give it a go. To make oil you can crumble some hash in a test tube add you solvent ( see above for various solvents available in your country) leave it a while to disolve all the THC , then simple pour the liquid out leaving the hash residue in the test tube. Leave the liquid(solvent) to evaporate of, all that remains is the hash oil. To purify even more add more solvent to ther oil and repeat. The remaining hash residue is worthless as all the THC has been leached out. Good oil is a clear brown colour.
In the UK you can buy Acetone from the chemist people use it for cleaning there crack pipes. Or to set each other on fire. But making Hash oil with it is a better idea.
The consensus on this thread seems to be for the use of ACETONE, or ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, as preferred HASH OIL extraction solvents. Two excellant choices! I prefer ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL (91%, or 99%). 70% should work just as well, but may extract more water soluble compounds from the CANNABIS plant material, which may, or may not, be a good thing. Plus, take a slightly longer time to evaporate. The chemistry of the CANNABIS plant is very complex and it's difficult to determine what solvent, or percentage of solvent works best, as the complex genetics of the CANNABIS plant varies widely, plus environmental growing factors. But whatever solvent is used (or percentage), you're still going to get an intense pot trip! HASH OIL really is super easy to make! The "cold shake" method is the easiest and quickest extraction method to use. I used the "heating" method in a boiling flask, for about 1 hour. Either method will get you deliciously wasted on CANNABIS! Cold or hot extraction. On the "hot method" extraction, I got a powerful psychedelic-type high. How does it compare to the simplier cold extraction? I don't know. But either method does the job! Before I was born, during WWII, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), wartime precurser to the CIA, used "acetate-THC" as a type of TD "Truth Drug", before they knew much about LSD. They used ACETONE to extract THC from marijuana leaves, but DIDN'T let it evaporate into an oil! "To "administer" pot without a subject's knowing it, OSS scientists dissolve marijuana leaves in acetone, then heat the result into a clear, odorless, viscious liquid -- tetrahydrocannabinal acetate -- which can be "injected" into any type of food, such as mashed potatoes, butter, salad dressing, or in such things as candy." SOURCE ARTICLE: Tinker, Tailor, Stoner, Spy: Was Timothy Leary a CIA Agent?, By Mark Riebling. LINK: www.markriebling.com/leary.html Has your food been tasting like acetone lately? Would you trust eating in the CIA cafeteria? Anyway, the OSS/CIA prefer the heated/ACETONE THC-extraction method. I just prefer the heated/ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL THC-extraction method. "isopropyl-THC"? Grapefruity's cold/ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL THC-extraction method may work better. Who knows? We need some experimenting done. Never use METHANOL ("Methyl Alcohol", or "Wood Alchohol") as it is very toxic stuff!!! It can cause blindness or death! ETHANOL ("Ethyl Alcohol", or' "Grain Alcohol") is the alcohol we drink. EVERCLEAR is a high percentage ETHANOL drink, and could be used for HASH OIL extraction, but may contain more "impurities". ISOPROPYL ALCHOHOL works great! You can put weed into a high-alcohol-content liquor, like VODKA, carefully heat-extract, then strain into a greenish liquid called: GREEN DRAGON. You don't let it evaporate. You drink it like a fine MARIJUANA LIQUOR. I've never drank it, but I found out about it, while "internet surfing". However, you're combining an alcohol "buzz" to your pot high, and altering it. HASH OIL extraction is simple. Preferably with ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, which is dirt cheap, easy to get and relatively safe to use. The resulting product is quite powerful! MR. WACKY-TOBACCY WIZARD ("Mr. Wizard" was an old 60's black and white tv show, which taught us hippies some science. We need an updated version: Mr. Wacky-Tobaccy WIZARD.) Have a happy trip! Bon voyage!
Some good info there cosmicdust though I'm not to convinced Timothy Leary was CIA. Can you use ordinary lighter fuel out of the tin or am I dreaming.
buffoonman, Mark Riebling (who wrote the article on Timothy Leary), wasn't convinced that Timothy Leary was a CIA agent, either. However, Timothy Leary did compose a personality test for the CIA, called THE LEARY, which they use till this day! When Timothy Leary was asked whether he was a CIA agent, he replied: "If I were, I didn't receive one dime!" I believe that he was at least "used" by the CIA, for some of their agendas, but was NOT a real agent. Ken Kesey had some suspicions about Leary being CIA, but no absolute proof. Tim Leary definately had involvemnet with the CIA, but was not a commisioned agent. I mentioned the Mark Riebling article for the part on "acetate-THC", and not really so much about Timothy Leary being CIA. I discuss that under the LSD TRIPS thread of: KESEY vs. LEARY. The liquid lighter fluid in the can would work as a HASH OIL solvent, but would not be highly-desirable. It's more flammable than ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, and thus more dangerous to use, plus smells and tastes bad. It may be more toxic, and less of a solvent to dissolve THC. I wouldn't use it. Peace and brotherhood to all.
Just watch out for the ethyl rubbin alcohol you get in the drugstore, its marked "denatured". What that means is that the drinkable ethyl alcohol that they sell at the drugstore aint drinkable because they "denature" it by puttin a fouling "denaturer" in it. In other words they throw some poison in there so ya cant drink it. Dont use it, it wont evap out either.
All fascinating stuff will read your thread on KESEY VS LEARY. Have you ever read anything about Alister Crowley another interesting character by all accounts.
I have just found this thread while making my very own Hash Oil, in an experimental way. I used trim from a few males I pulled. Please no bashing about it not working with males, I have done quite a bit of research and some claim it works, other do not. Therefor this is more of an experiment, this way I will know myself. To break it all down, I mixed the trim (dried and almost a powder) with 100% acetone (97% Rubing Alcohol also works, but not as well). I then mixed the solution, let is sit, mix it some more, etc. After about 45 minutes I filtered out everything with a Chemical Filter (much like a coffee filter, which can also be used as an alternative to the Chemical Filter). So far im waiting for the Acetone to evaporate, ill follow up with results if it was not a total failure. Peace
Well I went out and bought a 250ML bottle, but I did not use all of it. As far as the herb I used, perhaps an ounce or so of trim. The rule of thumb however for this method is to first put the herb into the jar, and than put enough acetone in so that all the herb is swimming in the acetone. It has been around 3 days and the acetone has evaporated almost completely.
hello I've been making oil now for a couple of months with my trim. I use the butane extraction method, and it doesn't seem to have done me much harm. It's very important to use pure butane - a lot of butane has other things added. I find that the best way to use it is to soak tobacco in the oil while it is still warm, then put in an airtight pouch. It gives a really strong hit. about 28g of dry trim with 2 standard tins of lighter butane makes enough oil for a 12.5g pouch of tobacco. thats enough to get a large party of people very very stuck to the sofa!
*ALWAYS USe SoME KIND OF FULL FACe HELMET WHEN MAKING BUTANE HONEY OIL* my new rule... also miss beeton...with 28g you could use at least 4 bottles, if its good trim...i would use 5 bottles on same quantity and get 4-5 grams of oil
i usually use my motorbike helmet for facial and head protection and my old firefighting tunic for my body. I get quite freaked out with scary stuff and don't like to take any chances! Do you mean then that if i used more than 2 cans of butane i would get a higher yeild? The attraction of soaking the tobacco in oil is that it produces a substance that doesn't smell too wierd, look too weird and generaly looks legal!
yes, well depending on your herb you probably have thc left after your 2 bottles...Try 4 bottles, im guessin it could double your yield almost without any potency change 5 bottles for an ounce is what I do
No, I can't. I don't get it either, why pollute fine weed with unpleasant chemicals and tastes? It doesn't make sense to me
