What about acetone?
Kind of have to buy acetone in a hardware store though, it's not pharmaceutical grade like 99% isopropanol or food grade like high proof liquor. Those are the only solvents that are clean enough and that can be obtained conveniently. Iso has higher toxicity but how bad can it be if it's sold for rubbing on your skin? It's probably safe enough as long as you don't drink a cup of it or let fumes build up indoors.

Best to let it evaporate at room temperature anyway, then just heat the extract itself if you want to decarb it. Heating flammable solvents in your home is rarely advisable and heating extract while dissolved in alcohol rapidly degrades it anyway, bad idea all around.

I always did a decarbonisation first, ground it fine, and rinsed with 100%isopropyl, after evaporation you are left with potent med. Done properly any remaining ISO would be absolutely minuscule and harmless. There is no alcohol taste whatsoever in the oil.
Only a tiny drop is needed for new users, because it’s decarbed it can be taken orally, or put into capsules to avoid the lingering taste.
Iso is readily available, cheap and local so it’s always been my go to
It’s honestly purely amazing medicine, can work miracles
