Other - What Should I do with this Stress? Hash making tips?

[vantranist]

SWIM has got about 1.5 Ounces of this really weak bud for free from a friend. He was smoking it all day and he noticed it doesn't meet swims standards for something he can just smoke as is. Takes atleast 3-4X the normal amount to get effect.

anyways he wanted too make some nice hash out of it so he could actaully get high off it maybe, he just doesn't know what to make or how.

The butane and PVC pipe method seems too be most up his ally but he doesn't really know how it will turn out.

He wants something he can manage like weed, break some off, pack a bowl when he needs ones, step out and smoke it when he needs his high. He knows some of this oil hash is hard to handle n shit and you gotta have the texture just right or its a pain in the ass... i might fuck that up... However the bud (nuggs, looks decent, is very weak) he fears is so weak he has little options but oil hash if he wants something decent.

SWIM wants 2 make something that he can smoke and enjoy, he doesn't want to be coughing his lung out (can be good i suppose) trying to smoke large amounts of nasty tasting unsuited for smoking hash.

any ideas?? Ohh ya it has to be easy.

The butane has been covered.

Easiest way would be to take the buds and get some isopryl alcohol 90% of above, put some buds in it, it doesn't matter how much, and let the alcohol extract the thc.

After a day or so you will start to see the color of the thc oozing in the alcohol, take the buds out and let the alcohol evap.

This isn't consistent and butane is better, but its the easiest way phaze has found. If you can find something to seperate part of the alcohol and leave the buds on top it will work better.

Phaze has a similiar situation going on right now were he has about 1oz of vaped weed, he is probably going to keep saving and do the butane extraction.

Just an idea,.

i dont understand the butane extraction and i searched how to make hash too

Real easy to make hash man. It's called quick wash iso hash. Freeze your ground up bud for a half hour. Put it in a tupperware container. Cover the bud with high proof iso propyl alcohol. Enough to were all the weed is covered. Shake the tupperware for 30 seconds - one minute. Let it sit a minute then filter through a coffee filter. Throw away the wet weed and evaporate the liquid. It's good stuff, real good

niceee swim wants to know how much this makes, like is this possible to do with 3.5 g or is it necessary to use an o

SWiM had a similar problem a year back and solved it with the butane honey oil tek. He thought similarly about the problems with BHO (somewhat inconvenient, etc.), so saved some of the original bud and dripped the BHO back onto the schwag to yield some super-high potency stuff. What he didn't reabsorb he smoked with a home-made vaporizer with great results. If SWiY is a tobacco smoker (SWiM is), then that's a good smoking medium as well.

SWiY could also try making some traditional hashish, but with that quantity of schwag it doesn't seem the yield would likely be all that great and you'd (or SWiM would at any rate) possibly want to go back over the leafy bits with butane to squeeze out the last drops of cannabinoidy goodness.

Hope this helps; be sure to tell us what SWiY decides.

SWIM extracted the THC and other oils from his cannabis with diethyl ether. Any organic solvent will do. The key is a low boiling point liquid that isn't too toxic that is oil soluble. Good possibilities are: Dichloromethane, chloroform, ether, butane. Alcohols work when no other options available. When using isopropanol, the highest percentage solution should be sought. Furthermore, isopropanol is flammable as well as butane and ether. The temptation to hasten evaporation with heating should be avoided when using these solvents. The solvents should also be thoroughly evaporated before attempting to use the dark gold/brown oily product to smoke. If SWIY wants to eat the product, an oil soluble food product like butter can be used instead of a volatile solvent.

To maximize the extraction, the cannabis should be ground up as finely as possible in a coffee grinder or crumbled by hand to a fine powder. Also a suitable filter will need to be used, SWIM finds a metal tea strainer works well. The chosen solvent is added to a container and shaken vigorously and left to sit for quite some time and shaken again. When you think it's done, shake it again and wait some more. The insoluble fiber is then saved for another extraction or two and finally discarded when SWIY feels it contains no more 'good stuff'.
