i decided to see if it was worth trying to get high from whatever came out of my pipe resin.
i also had a few other things with thc (distillate syringe leftovers, a crushed stale edible, a broken oil burner i used for concentrates), but the buildup from my bubbler was epic at this point.
i let all of this soak in 70% rubbing alcohol for like a week, and filtered it. it was some dark foul-smelling concoction (like bongwater dissolved in alcohol... go figure)
at this point, i started following the guide found here (the "OH MY GAWD!" part):
https://skunkpharmresearch.com/getting-the-green-and-waxes-out-afterwards/
i evaporated the concoction down to a more concentrated evil sludge and moved it to sealable glass.
then i added about half of that volume of vm&p naphtha*, shook (vented periodically), and let the layers separate for a day.
ill try to remember to add a photo i took of the layers, but for now ill paint a picture: the bottom layer was black and quite opaque, with a light behind it revealing an emerald hue. the top layer was like a glass of black tea; transparent and golden-red.
i dont have a separatory funnel, so i sucked the naphtha out with a nice big oral syringe (the naphtha will start to dissolve the plastic after awhile, so i worked quickly and vowed not to leave the syringe in the medicine cabinet), added it to an evap dish, and got rid of the naphtha in a well ventilated area, away from idiots with cigars.
i added more naphtha to the sludge and set it aside for later processing.
i then dissolved it twice again, this time using 91% isopropanol, evaporating over a hot plate each time, with plenty of air flow. this was to ensure that ive got no residual naphtha.
what was left was syrupy and runny, almost certainly had some fats from the edible that i dont know how to remove (im guessing its not possible). smelled vaguely of ash, but did not taste of ash.
??????????????????????????
now for the report:
i had saturday off, and decided it was a nice time to try this out. i had no idea how much thc was in there, so i prepared myself to possibly be floored. i also decided to add a gram of freshly ground but very dry buds. i estimated that this was about 150mg of thc, which would probably not be much more than a threshold dose for me (500mg is more like a regular dose).
i heated and stirred everything together on a hotplate with a heated fan blowing over it. i added gatorade (citric acid) and powdered ascorbic acid, in the hopes of speeding up the decarboxylation of the dried buds. i got impatient (day was running along and i worked the next morning), and imbibed at around 1:30 p.m.
normally, on an empty stomach, oral thc takes about 2 hours to come up. i had started the experiment with a belly full of sushi, so was quite startled to feel a stirring at the half hour point. by an hour after ingestion, i was quite stoned, and was sure that it would continue to raise in intensity. it did. by hour three, i was higher than i remember being in quite some time. a walk downtown for some cupcakes was mighty satisfying (freestyling all the way), and of couse my social skills were shot.
around 6pm, i laid down in my bed, and drifted off into closed-eye visuals and fantastic body high (apparently i may have over-decarboxylated and produced that sedative thc metabolite i hear about, cause this was the most relaxed i remember feeling from cannabis. very pleasant.)
i drifted off a few times, realizing late into the night that i was still high. finally went down for bed, woke up for work, and realized that i was still VERY high (felt like my normal dosage at this point, or maybe less... like 300 or 400 mg of thc). got through the workday, and still this morning felt not quite baseline. probably took till about noon today (almost 48 hours later) to feel actual sobriety.
???????????===?=
10/10 would get this high again
????????????????????
*the original guide calls for lab-grade n-hexane, but im not going to be serving this to other ppl, and the msds for vm&p naphtha identifies it as "light naphtha", a mixture of hexane and pentane in various isomers.
