Possible THC Extraction

So I don't know if this is possible but I feel my reasoning up until this point is sounds...while 95% of people never heard of crystal thc there are a select minority that has decribed this as A+ shit (different from other hallucniogens & drugs) the existence of crystal t I'm not hear to argue but I need some help figureing out of ithere could be a next step in my process or if it's all bs.

so THC is soluble in alcohol
1) soak some buds in a container of high-proof liquor(everclear)

2)allow the same soak timew as needed to make a THC-infused alcoholic beverage

3)Since Alcohol's boiling point is 173 F and THC's vaporization point is 360 F would it be possible to boil/simmer the alcohol constantly til there's nothing left, and this would leave a precipitate

I'm assuming anything from the weed that was alcohol-soluble would comeover in the mix and then boiling the alcohol until complete evap would leave a precipitate of anything extracted as well as whose boiling point is over 173F (thc is)


My other idea is that once soaking the alcohol/weed mix and the thc is broken free is there a way to do a extraction using a solvent (like dmt extraction & naptha) I'm not sure wh at type of properties would be needed to find the proper solvent or if this method would work entirely diffrent...

It's just a start but if it sounds feasible/not too difficult maybe someone could do this and find that long lost crystal THC if it really did exist.
Is my science & reason sound behind this...any comments?

im sure you know about BHO right? thats as close as i think youll get without an actual lab setup.

the stories ive heard from many oldheads is that there was only crystal THC for a very short period of time then it was replaced with cheaper, easier to synthesis PCP.

yea crystal thc from my friends experience was only around in one place he lived at and for a only a few months or so probably..not too long

I know it won't be real crystal pure thc but i mean the precipitate from this experiment from my current reasoning would provide mye with something high in thc content...IDK what else would carry over from the plant thats alcohol soluble but I could only imagine the product would get you high when smoked cause of all that thc

I heard of BHO but never did much research on it

lol I heard...but from what I understand crystal thc when it was around would last 8 hours and was trippy

Haha..IDK. Sounds more like JWH-018 to me, but its not really crystalized...hmm.

sounds like the pcp i heard replaced the real berkley crystal thc. i heard about the real stuff from a handful of 50+yr olds that said the real stuff came out of berkley in the 70's and was immediatly replaced with pcp marketed as the same shit.

this is just what ive heard, but ive heard it from many different sources.

Thats crazy haha. Weed would be less recreational in that form haha. Suprisingly not all people like to trip..I know blasphomy right!?

Voodoo I say...lmao

Slikwill, are you referring to what we term around here called "keef?"...basically you have a double barrel grinder and all the trichome residue is deposited on the other side.

Crystal thc...never heard of such a thing.

Damn all the best drugs are gone!!!

When I first got it my keef catcher was covered from the amount of weed I broke up in a few hours...All dro. Delicious.

nope, kief is just the trich heads as we all know. BHO is the extracted resin from within those heads. this elusive crystal THC was suposedly lab extracted/refined thc. i guess it might have been trippy being minus all the other cannabinoids that make up resin.

What I found that is the only thing I could see making a crystal THC is this:

The original honey oil refers to a secondary process on an ethyl alcohol extract; using a two to one mixture of ethyl alcohol extract to ethyl ether.

This mixture is combined, separated and the ethyl ether extract is evaporated, yielding high quality honey oil. All precautions apply.

It is the only chemical process I came across that yields a very pure product that takes 2 parts allowing the extractor to remove the plant matter that is also dissolved in the initial step of other teks, haven't tried it myself however, not much of a market for that up here, not to mention that the yield will be greatly reduced in comparison to a QwIso hash, or BHO.

Peace

I think, if I'm correct in thinking, that we should drop the "crystal thc" and just say "pure THC". Cause thats what your getting at. You want refined THC. None of the other cannabinoids. You want to know want THC is like without the other cannabinoids veiling its effects. The problem is that its far from practical to get pure THC. I'm not saying you can't do it, but if your hard set on doing it then here's a link I believe to be factual.

well I'm not going for pure as I'd have no way to know if THC is the only alcohol soluble chemical in weed..I doubt it but who knows.

I've heard the crystal Thc was around a really short time...pcp was different but an experienced friend (almost 60) says thc was his favorite above pcp and lsd and all t hat. I'm trying to get something somewhat close and figured my method would at least extract this into a solid form(precipitate after boiling at 173F) and that would at least contain some thc..while further purification would be required to ensure it was only thc I'm still curious if any one of chemistry experience can comment on the validity of my procedure?

look i know I could make hash or BHO but that's not what I'm asking for I'm asking for opinions on my proposed method while Id like some hash I'm currently trying to figure out what I mentioned in my first post.

thanks...boiling alcohol sounds hard tho...the whole flammable thing and all lol...I'd probably need a hotplate with temperature control to make sure It doesn't get too hot.
