Methodology

The following method will yeild 'very pure' oil from the 'leaf' material left over after harvesting bud. It will not contain chlorophyll, or other coloring matter. If done carefully and 'exactly' as presented, will allow the formation of a very convincing (and satisfying) hashish substitute. A 1 liter (quart) mason jar makes an excellent extraction vessel. Larger amounts may be worked if the equipment allows. fill it about 1/2 full with well dried (low temp low humidity - dried quickly) pot leaf, **crushed but not to a fine powder**. cover the 1/2 liter leaf fragments with petroleum ether. The peth may be obtained by fractional distillation of Coleman's camp fuel. Use material boiling below ~70^C. DO NOT USE COLEMAN'S RIGHT OUT OF THE CAN. It contains several high boiling components which will not evaporate easily and will spoil your product. Cover the jar with the lid, close tightly, and shake vigorously for 5 minutes. Do not use heated solvent. Do not shake longer. Uncap, pour the liquid off, through a kitchen strainer to catch coarse pieces, and collect in a 2L. jar. repeat extraction 2 more times,with fresh cold peth, the third time only shake for 2 min. The extraction will have a yellowish color with a 'green' cloudy tone to it. equip a plastic funnel with a coffee filter, and pour the liquid through the filter into another container or the flask to be used for distilling solvent. The residue in the filter will be some dark color, or even light color, depending on the plant genetics and development. Save it! it is VERY good stuff. The liquid will now be a bright yellow color, with very little greenish tint. Distll the solvent off until only ~50mls. remain. Decant the thick liquid into a pyrex pie plate, rinse the flask with a few ml. peth and add to the pie plate. heat the pie plate slightly, while directing the air flow from a small fan on it's surface. When the last of the solvent is gone, heat a few moments more until a slight smoke indicates an increase in temp. remove from heat and allow to cool. The oil should setup to a very thick paste. It should be dark yellow/brownish and when held up to a bright light will look like HONEY!. Take the residue in the filter paper, seive it several times through a 'fine' kitchen seive, until it's a fine loose powder. (a microscopic exam at this point reveals millions of tiny hairs). discard any tiny chunks of leaf carried through at the end of seiving. Once the oil extract has solidified, using a narrow putty knife, add about 2/3 of the powder obtained to the pie plate on top of the extract, and work the powder into the oil. warming the plate slightly will help the two mix together. work it vigorously with the putty knife, until homogenous. It will probably require the entire amt. of powder to make hash of suitable consistancy, but may not so add small additional amounts and work it in. When you like what you've got, form into blocks and store in a cool dark place until used. Any hair powder left can be saved for another batch. If desired, the oil can used without the addition of the 'hair powder' and simply stored in a glass vial or other. This 'exploration' of the leaf and stem 'hair' powder, is original, as anyone has never seen any mention of it anywhere ever! This method has been used hundreds of times over 8 years. The only disappointments came when trying to increase yeild by using HOT solvent or shaking for long times. Soxhlet extractions are the worst!! doing so extracts fixed oils from the vegetative structures. These are not psychoactive and only reduce the potency of your oil. Also, powdering the leaf too fine increases the amt. of fixed oil in the extract. When there is too much fixed oil, the extract is thin and loose, and will not form 'firm' blocks of hash, but will be crumbly. It also affects flavour, as the fixed oils give it a 'smokiness' and 'oily' flavour.

The Butane/PVC Pipe Method

The pipe with butane gas is the best bar none. You get smokable material within five min. READ that as FIVE Min. It is also pure, clean cannot be cleaned further , it is honey red, thick as molases, no solvent remains, you can't buy it like this anymore, That is the sole reason the crew here at Disney land decided to give it over freely to the rest of the world. One stinkin can of butane lighter refill large size, one plastic pipe, two caps or cork with hole in top end and optioonally nothing on bottom is packed well enough, get small glass pan for collecting gas+oil, after collecting all, it will go from brown to yellow to white, stop, let it evaporate in open air, then put a large light bulb under pan for final solvent removal. After this you will be in possession of the finest stash, even from the worst crap leaf and stems, lots remains after cleaning the weed, when you extract you will be surprized.

Get a 1 3/4 inch pvc pipe 1 and 1/2 foot long. cap one end with a cap with a single hole in it in middle of cap, next drill many holes in another cap and install it on bottom. Remove top one hole cap and fill with your favorite leaf or bud as you will. OBTAIN A lARGE CAN OF BUTANE LIGHTER REFILLL OR A SMALL BOTTLE OF cO2. iNVERT THE CAN OR BOTTLE FOR LIQUID GAS TO ENTER THE SINGLE HOLE SIDE. THE OUTSIDE OF THE PIPE WILL COVER WITH FROST, FOLLOW IT DOWN BY FILLING WITH THE GAS, SOON ONLY THE PUREST OF THE PURE HONEY OIL WILL DROP OUT IN YOUR PREPARED DISH, ALL OTHER THINGS WILL freeze SOLID AND STAY BEHIND....for reasons unknown to me all the oil then turns to the good kind. IT RUNS AHEAD OF THE GAS SINCE OIL FREEZES AT MUCH LOWER TEMP THAN THE OTHER THINGS, SO NET RESULT WILL BE PURE HONEY OIL WITHIN FIVE MIN. THIS IS THE PREMERE WAY I USE IT ALL THE TIME......... ME AND THE OTHER TOONS HERE AT DISNEY WORLD..

***ALSO TOUTED AT DMT World as a great DMT extraction method!
