Thanks for the wisdom guys. I was Definitely! going to research and get guidance here before even thinking about singing about trying a first attempt. I may go the dry ice method first just to see if that is sufficient for my needs. I prefer smoking buds but want to maintain a fresh stash of kif and/or concentrate for when I have to be away.

I have a small professional stilling device. Would this be applicable and useable for making concentrate and/or to recapture and reuse the solvent(s)? Thanks again guys - and thanks GD for letting me post on your page!

Hi CD,

I make alcohol extract all the time. It's safe when done correctly and very easy. It travels well too. Just Decarboxilate an ounce of weed and grind it up. Put it in a mason jar with 2 cups of 190 proof Everclear and a tablespoon of soy lecithin. Shake it for 5 minutes and store the jar in a cool dark place for at least 1 week shaking it daily. I usually go for 10-14 days.

Strain out the alcohol through a muslin cloth or bag. Use a double boiler or digital cook top to burn off as much of the alcohol as you want (some people don't burn off any of the alcohol, they use it as is) 1/2 the original volume is a good target for a potent tincture. Never let the temperature go above 170. And always do it in a well ventilated area.

Butane extraction if totally Fn crazy and I leave that to the pros. But alcohol extraction is awesome, easy, and relatively safe. I just made some yesterday. I use a digital cook top to cook all the alcohol out. Then I mix the RSO with coconut oil and fill capsules. This is my primary method of medicating. Just let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Sunday
