Here is an article sent to us by the wonderfull donnie dehart - what a guy.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OIL... Pot contains a wonderful oil that is good in its natural form, but it can be transformed into a truly magical extract. You will be able to take shake, “ the sun leaves of pot” and turn it into a drug as strong as buds, if not stronger. The first alcohol extract of pot is fair, but it contains chlorophyll, sugars, starch, and other organic matter that detracts from the flavor and potency of the hash oil. You can wash the impurities from this extract, but the oil still contains three chemicals, tetra-hydra-canabanol, canabadol, and canabanol. The first, THC is the active ingredient (the good stuff) the second is canabadol, which the plant turns into THC, and the last canabanol is the waste chemical of the plant. There is a chemical process that will allow you to convert the inactive chemical into the active ingredient. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are distinct advantages to THC oil: * NO HOT, HARSH SMOKE TO IRRITATE YOUR LUNGS * NO TAR TO STAIN YOUR TEETH AND FINGERS VERY LITTLE SMELL * 5+ TIMES AS MUCH THC IN THE BLOOD STREAM * GET 5+ TIMES AS MANY “TRIPS” PER $$$ AS COMPARED TO JOINT/BONG SMOKING * NO CARCINOGENS TO GIVE YOU CANCER The list goes on and on but lets get down to business... Materials you’ll need for extraction: * A GLASS JAR WITH A WATER-TIGHT LID, (WIDEMOUTH MASON JARS WORK GREAT) * A METAL MEASURING CUP WITH HANDLE, (2 CUP CAPACITY RECOMMENDED) * CAN OF DENATURED ALCOHOL, (BE SURE ITS DENATURED WITH METHANOL) * ANY QUANTITY OF POT, ANY STRENGTH, (FROM A GRAM UP TO A FEW OUNCES) * COFFEE FILTERS * THE USE OF AN ELECTRIC STOVE AND IT’S OVER HEAD FAN 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 an oil of their own which you don’t want. Dump the powdered pot into the mason jar and pour in enough alcohol to cover the pot so the weed floats freely in the alcohol. Place the lid on the jar and shake a few times. Let this mixture sit for two weeks, shaking it every once in a while. The alcohol should have turned a dark green, almost black. Filter the liquid through the coffee filters. Make sure to get most of the weed particles out of the jar. Gather up the filter and squeeze the remaining liquid out of the pot into the cup. STEP #1a You should have a quantity of dark green liquid in a mason jar. It is possible to extract more THC oil from the pot. I recommend performing step #1 once again . No since throwing away the good stuff. After the alcohol has set for another week, combine it with the first extract. Now on to the next step. STEP #2 ISOMERAZATION This stage rotates all the existing lesser cannabinoids and cannabinols into THC, and all the existing thc into the most active isomer, delta-9-THC. This step involves the use of sulfuric acid, so I shouldn’t have to remind you to be careful, wear rubber gloves, don’t inhale it’s fumes, DON’T TREAT IT CASUALLY BECAUSE IT CAN EAT HOLES IN LOTS OF THINGS, INCLUDING YOU. Now you have to find a drinking glass that fits into the mouth of the mason jar, and fill it with ice. STEPS FOR ISOMERAZATION** A.. For every 1/4 cup of solvent / THC you have add 3 drops sulfuric acid. B.. place glass filled with ice in the mouth of mason jar that’s filled with the solution. C.. heat to a slow simmer. D.. Let alcohol / THC / acid solution simmer for 2 hours. E.. Let mixture cool. F.. For every 1/2 cup solvent add 1/4 cup water / sodium bicarbonate solution (In every 1/2 cup water place 1 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate.) G.. shake very well. H.. To this you add about 1/4 cup Coleman fuel I.. Shake well. J.. Separate the two layers keeping the top layer in a separate container K.. Repeat steps H,I, & J (combining the two top layers & discarding the bottom layer.) L.. Place Coleman THC oil mix in glass baking dish & let evaporate. The remaining resin is 100% pure / rectified thc oil (Hash Oil), all that remains is to scrape it up and enjoy. EXPECTED YIELD AND CONSUMPTION METHODS In general, you can expect to produce about one ounce per pound of pot. Depending on the potency of the individual plant, of course, this can vary greatly; however, the pot potency of the finished essence will always be of the highest possible. A SHORT EXPLANATION OF ISOMERAZATION The crude oil extract from the pot plant contains 3 principle components. Canibanol, thetra-hydra-canibanol, & cannibidol. The Canibanol is what the plant turns into THC, and cannibidol is what THC turns into after the plant uses it (a waste product.). The pot plant uses natural acids to convert the canibidol into THC, as the plant matures “during flower formation & seed production” it’s stored in the buds of the plant. But there is still significant amount of canibidol left unchanged. Ismerization is the use of an acid to flip the molecules of the canibanol into THC molecule, the active component of pot. This process also converts the already present THC into a more potent form the DELTA-9 THC (anywhere from double to 5 times the original potency.) The leaves of the pot plant contains more canibanol than THC, this is why the buds are better to smoke, they contain more THC and are therefore better to smoke in their original form. It is more economical to use the shake to make your oil from, But the buds make a more potent oil because of the DELTA-9 conversion. OIL PURIFICATION You can also take the first extract from the pot and wash some of the impurities out of it. STEPS IN WASHING CRUDE OIL 1.. Take crude oil alcohol solution and add half as much water as there is alcohol 2.. Shake well 3.. Add 1/4 cup Coleman to this 4.. shake well 5.. separate the two layers, keeping the top layer, evaporate this and you will have cleaner crude oil BY:~ThE WaTcHeR@
