rather than cutting/making it with other things like alcohol making it, imo, bad ( i know i wouldn't put it in my body and out here in CA there's a big battle going on over the process of making concentrates - basically you're allowed, or what looks like it will end up being, if you keep it all natural - ie water hash and other types, butter, etc or the method i'll describe here).

anyway just literally melt your hash with olive oil or canola oil, olive is my favorite. if it's bud just do what you do with the butter and simmer it (or with trim/shake if not bud) for a bit. it keeps it all natural and works VERY well. sort of imagine it (if you're using water hash, not the gooey hash) like a heroine user melting everything in the spoon. obviously you don't want to heat it up that much you just want to dissolve it and have it bind to the oil/fat.

hope it helps

thanks but im interested in solvent extracted concentrates as they are the most potent and done right are not harmful imo. anyways any advice on alternative solvents and the process involved besides using butane any advice welcome.

CO2 is the holy grail I hear. The extraction machiones run 3-10k.. lol Thats your shiva I believe..

yeah i have heard of this method with c02 i will make a judgement on that once i know how the process works. thc is not soluble in c02 so im confused as to how they do that extract.

It is under say 3000 psi... lol

The extraction is done under pressure from what i know about it. Different pressures different compounds....

at 3000psi cos2 is a liquid that would make more sense. however they do it its not the same as solvent extracted oils im going to try and find out the process.
