Step 1 You’ll need to chop up your weed and pick apart the buds until it looks like grass clippings. Remove any seeds, they have their own oils which we don’t want. Dump the powdered pot into the mason jar and pour in just enough grain alcohol so the weed particles float freely in the mixture. Place the lid securely on the jar and shake a few times. Let this mixture sit for a few hours, shaking it every once in a while. The alcohol should have turned a dark green color and when shaken should form colorful, oily bubbles on top. Place the sturdy cloth over the metal container and press the cloth down to form a funnel. Carefully pour the contents of the mason jar onto the cloth which is in the metal cup. Make sure to get most of the weed particles out of the jar. Gather up the edges of the cloth and squeeze the remaining liquid out of the lump of weed into the metal cup. Step 1a You should now have a quantity of dark green liquid in your metal measuring cup. It is possible to extract more THC oil from the remaining pot. I recommend performing Step 1 a second time immediately after completing it the first time. No sense throwing away the good stuff. Dump the pot from the cloth back into the mason jar and repeat step 1. You now have twice as much liquid in your metal cup upon repeating the first step. Step 2 Be sure to use an electric stove in this step! (If you don’t have one, read Step 2a) Take the metal cup containing the green liquid over to the stove. Turn one of the electric eyes on LOW setting and place the metal cup on that burner. I highly suggest using the fan over the stove to remove the alcohol vapors during this entire step. Watch the liquid closely. It should only boil slightly, never raise the burner temperature above MEDIUM LOW. We need the liquid to cook down until it’s slightly thick. This may take some time but be patient. Once the liquid starts to thicken and turn darker, remove it from the heat. Never let it get too thick or it’ll be too difficult to work with. If you do accidentally make it too thick, just add a small quantity of the grain alcohol to the metal cup and swirl it around till it’s thinner. Let it cool down to room temperature inside the metal cup. It should be runny enough to be poured into the eye-dropper bottle easily. You now have your final product: THC oil. It’s necessary to have some grain alcohol left in the resulting liquid so it’s easy to work with. This will not affect the potency of the oil. Step 2a This part is for the people with gas stoves. Do not use a gas stove to cook down alcohol! The vapors will explode! You’ll have to have patience to complete this step. To get a final product just put the metal container in a place where it won’t be disturbed. The alcohol will have to evaporate on its own. If at all possible keep it in a slightly warm area with decent ventilation. It may take days. Once it’s evaporated test to see if it’s too thick. If it is, pour a small amount of grain alcohol in the metal cup and mix. Pour the liquid into your eye-dropper bottle. Smoking Instructions (NOTE: When smoking this oil in any form, do not let it come into direct contact with a flame. That destroys much of the THC and defeats the purpose of this whole project.) You have the oil in the eye-dropper bottle and you’re ready to smoke some? Clean up your mess first. You don’t want to have to explain why a rag of wet marijuana is lying on the kitchen table do you? Wash out the jar, the metal cup, and throw away the cloth. Throw away the weed too, it’s useless. Use a water/alcohol mixture to wash out the jar and cup. Materials you’ll need for smoking: A 5” X 5” piece of aluminum foil A Bic pen tube (take out all the stuff until it’s hollow) A stationary flame source (a butane torch works best, but you can use a candle, lighter, etc.) The THC oil in the eye-dropper bottle Make a “spoon” out of the aluminum foil. This takes some practice but you’ll get a design that works. Put 6-8 drops of the oil into the “spoon” and hold it about 4” over the flame. It should begin to boil slightly. Don’t let it get too close to the flame just yet. It’ll cook down and turn very dark brown and begin to make crackling sounds. Now you should lower the spoon so the THC is directly over the flame. The spoon is still face up, we’re just really putting the heat to it. Hold the Bic pen tube about 1” above the dark brown area and inhale through the tube. You’ll see a white smoke come up from the dark area, this is vaporized THC. Once you have a lungfull, remove the spoon from the flame. You’ll feel the effects almost instantly. Exhale and place the spoon back over the flame and inhale again. Once you’ve smoked what’s in the spoon, put a few more drops in and repeat as many times as you want. On occasion I’ve smoked so much at one time that all I could do was lay on the floor with a stupid look on my face. Also, I’ve noticed I get a bad case of “cotton mouth,” it’s normal. If you’re a smoker, you can put a few drops into a cigarette, let it dry, and feel free to catch a buzz without the smell.
it will work but your makin garbage. first off, it has seeds, dont make oil. your wasting your time. oil = potency, seeds = shoedirt second of all, if its green, its garbage!!!!! (the liquid i mean) if its green that means your soaking up clorophyl (sp) the green is polution. it doesnt get you high, it just adds shit you dont want. the point of oil is to have NOTHING but the shit you want. which is IMPOSSIBLE with alchohol, even rubbing alchohol, but especially grain. dude thats gross seriously just smoke your beasters, your making beaster oil at best. if you HAVE to use alchohol use the 98% rubbing alch. its more expensive, but you wont taste it as bad. DO NOT GRIND YOUR BUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! throw them in a tupperware and toss em in the freezer. this will close off the pores (as well as making the trichs more brittle and break easier) and prevent the shit you dont want from soaking into your alchohol, i.e. plant matter/clorophyl. get a sifter like a metal screen with a handle from the kitchen store. and a mesuring cup (anything with a spout really) dump the WHOLE buds in the cup with a spout. pour the alchohol in, stir for a second or two, dump through strainer, repeat with fresh alchohol about 4 or 5 times till the buds are no longer frozen. you are DONE!!! you have two options at this point if you want to be frugal. either take the buds and make butter *will taste a bit funky* or let them soak for like 5 minutes in alchohol, then strain, repeat another 3 or 4 times then toss. DONT MIX THATS YOUR LOW GRADE! also your cookoff is totally fucked. your not making hash oil, your making condensed thc alchohol and if you tried to get me to smoke your shit i would literally laugh in your face and call you out on your beaster nasty shit. first off if its boiling, your losing your high. make a double boil. use low low heat, like you said, but you boil water on the stove, then put your glass of alchohol in the water. the heat transfer will keep it below the temp where the canibinoids and thc cook off, but above the boiling point for alchohol. also, the other fucked part of your cookoff is that you MUST cook out ALL THE ALCHOHOL!!!! if you dont your just fucking up your body, fucking up your oil, and making all your friends that know what they are talking about laugh behind your back, unless your friends with me, i'm a pot snob and i will laugh right in your face. cook off until you are left with nothing but a goopy sticky film at the bottom. it will be thick, it will resemble honey, it WILL have to be scraped with a razorblade to get it off. DO NOT ADD MORE ALCHOHOL, freakin gross! anyway, cook off till that point, remove from heat and then leave out in open air for like 12 hours minimum to evaporate the last little bit of alchohol that is too sketch to evap with direct heat. after 12 to 20 hours in open air your finally safe to smoke, scrape it, and (i recomend) dropping it down into an insulin vial. when you want to smoke some you can warm the vial in your hand to make it kind of liquidy and just take it out with a nail or a pin (or a poker for your pipe just make sure its clean!!!!) be careful if you listen to me. your recipe sucks, tastes bad and will probably kill you from all the chemicals. my shit is pure, tastes like the buds smell, and will fuck you up so heavy you might get scared. (seriously, enough to get on a pinhead, rip on a hot knife and your done!!! 2 pinpricks is all you need) if you seriiously like oil then imo alchohol extraction is garbage, its too poluted. tastes nasty, is dangerous and takes too long. its basically for noobs. basically, even when done right, its still garbage (at least to a purist) want to do it right? go to the CIGAR STORE must be a high end gas, no ronson bullshit or zippo brand okay? go to the cigar store and buy the highest X refined butane you can find there, probably about 8 dollars a can. cheap shit has egg smell so you can tell if it is leaking = nasty shit when you smoke it) if your doing home brew (oz or less) get the best most amazing pot you can find (if you cant get the super dank, dont waste your time, this is not me being a snob, this is the truth, on some super dank, if you process an oz, you get between 2 and 3 grams of oil. the more dank, the more oil. so thats why i say if its not superdank dont waste your shit) if you do more then an oz, dont use the sanitizer method i'm about to tell, anything more then that you have to construct something that will hold pressure and the amount of pot you want to use, the sanitizer method is just an 89 cent option for on the fly way to do like a gram to 3 grams at a time for pleasure around the house. anyway, go to the store and buy one of those little purse sized bottles of hand sanitizer. dump it out, clean the hell out of it, and i mean really scrub, soap water, make it so its totally cleaned and chemical free. the cap has a hole in it the perfect size for the butane can. take a knife or a nail and poke the smallest hole you can manage in the bottom of the bottle (if its too small you will know cuz the bottle will start filling with liquid, but its better to have it too small at first then too big cuz too big will leak plant into your oil and thats nasty) grind your shit for this, more surface more gets soaked up, dump it into the empty sanitizer bottle, cap it, go outside with the bottle, your butane, and a glass baking pan like you would make banana bread in, high walls, kinda short and stubby, you know the one, you will also need a deep plate like a pie dish or a brownie pan, something slightly wider around then the bread pan, with a lip to hold water, but you can leave the pie dish inside for now. DO NOT DO THIS INDOORS!!!! DO NOT SMOKE!!! MAKE SURE NO OPEN FLAME!!!!! THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!!! people DIE from this, and its not because its dangerous neccessarily, its because dumb assholes smoke while they do this and dumb assholes go to the ER. set the bread pan down, hold your sanitizer bottle with your ground up goodies in pointing into the pan, place butane tip in cap and press down lightly, just hard enough to make the gas start to flow. hold it with constant pressure for 5-10 mins, i reccomend half a can or so, and i would use no less then one gram in the bottle and no more then what would take to fill it loosely without having to pack it down. packed down is bad. you can blow the whole can if you want, i'd use half for such a small amount but if you want every last drop of potency it is what it is. after your done blowing your gas take a teapot and boil water. pour the water into the pie dish, then set the bread pan with your butane liquid in the water. it will boil off all the butane. put more water on the stove (keep the mix outside) when the water boils, change the water, do this 2 or three times then your done. still let the final product sit in open air for at least 6 hours to evap every last drop. then scrape and enjoy. ps. sorry about the attitude, its just your teaching people how to make something that will get them laughed at. this post is not ment to be mean, its meant to be informative. if you take my advice you will be glad. and you will understand why i say i would laugh in your face if you tried to get me to smoke what you produced with your recipe.
also, the only thing that will clean anything that comes into contact with true hash oil is a hell of a lot of elbow grease and rubbing alchohol. so when it comes time to clean that bread pan, just fill it with a little bit of rubbing alchohol and scrub the hell out of it
ummm NO.. in fact I make oil all the time using this.. Tetrachloroethylene Tetrachloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic materials.\. Usually as a mixture with other chlorocarbons, it is also used to degrease metal parts in the automotive and other metalworking industries. It appears in a few consumer products including paint strippers and spot removers... leaves no residue, is not flammable..
