Chop the herb up
place it in an empty bottle no more than ¾ full.
Put that in the freezer, with the lid off.
Place a bottle of 95% Ethanol in the freezer too.
12-24 hrs later…
The herb should be frozen solid….
Pour the freezing cold ethanol into the bottle of frozen herb until covered by ¼ to a 1/3 over the top of the herb, put the lid on tight and shake for 3 min. The ethanol will change colour from clear to Gold or Amber. No more than 3 minutes. Work swiftly, you do not want to see any hint of a green colour.
3 Minute shake
Stop.
Remove lid and strain.
Through a piece of cheesecloth over the top of the bottle. then put some more freezing cold ethanol in the bottle to rinse the last bit out
Strain
Or,, a standard kitchen strainer,,, same-> pore some freezing cold ethanol over the spent herb to rinse the last bit out. When it drips out clear, no color. Your done, you got it all.
Kitchen Strainer
Next, pour through a coffee filter paper, set into a kitchen funnel, with the bottom of the funnel directed into the capture bottle.
coffee filter paper
Be patient,,,,,,, it will take its own sweet time to get through the coffee paper. Do not try to force it through.
Rinse
Pour a small amount of freezing cold Ethanol to flush the last bit out of the coffee filter.
When it drips out clear, no color. Your done, you got it all.
Cannabis Tincture
The result is a red/yellow off-clear, full strength Tincture of Cannabis.
With little to no chlorophyll’s to speak of and all three medicinal fractions fully rinsed from the herb.
next
Evaporate the Ethanol out.
Non Activated Extract
Use a fan in a well ventilated area. this process will deliver a non-active cannabinolic acid extract eg THCA, CBDA, etc.. cold air evaporation is using a fan like a vacuum cleaner for ethanol.
capture tray is shallow and wide, setup with a slight fall to one corner, set the fan up so it blows just over the top of the tray. do not blow the air directly on to the tray, as the air above the tray fills with ethanol vapors then gets blown away fresh air rushes in to gather more ethanol vaps and so sucks the ethanol out. you fiddle about with it to make it better by insulating it, your basically making a wind tunnel over the top of the capture tray, add a bit of dry ice here and there to keep it cool.
there are pro cool air dryers available on the market
Non-Active extracts are not psycho active,, that means you don’t get stoned, or high from non active extracts.
or
Activated Extract
For fully activated extracts THC CBD. Apply gentle heat, below 100c. Use a water distiller to retain your ethanol or a rice cooker or steamer, well ventilated area eg.. outdoors,
or Simply pour into a baking tray and leave, outdoors, in the full, direct sunlight.
The dry oil is amber-clear, and highly potent.
Hash Oil
Full strength medical cannabis extract is a three-part synergy of cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavi(o)noids.
Extractions for medical use should take up all three medicinal families with great efficiency and minimize the amount of chlorophyll’s, concrete oils and waxes which have minimal therapeutic value.
