1. Freeze material
2. Blend (or grind) material into fine powder
3. Heat in MEK in a container covered with a tubed stopper (put the tube out of the window to divert the fumes) in a boiling water bath
4. Flush a coffee filter with MEK
5. Filter solution
6. Dry extract thoroughly
7. Blend (or shake vigerously) dried extract in a heptane/H2O mixture
8. Let the layers separate
9. Siphon off the heptane layer
10. Dry extract thoroughly
11. Scrape and store

Basically, here are my ideas on the whole topic:

MEK has the advantage over acetone of not evaporating as easily. This means that during step 3, there will be less vapors. However, it should still retain the ability of acetone to get high yields from the plant matter. I also figure that some amount of decarboxylation will occur during step 3.

Next, during the heptane/H2O wash, any sugars pulled out by the MEK should enter the H2O phase, while the cannabinoids will remain in the heptane phase.

Also, thinking of doing the MEK portion by getting a ball jar, ventilating with plastic tubing and putting in a pot with boiling water. Close as I can really get to a lab setup.

Any criticisms or changes?

i certainly dont mean for it to

I recommend going to www.tokecity.com for hash and hash oil related information

there are some exteremyl knowledgable oil heads and a good deal of them are middle age dudes who've been doing hash oil for a long time

No offense taken. I would go there, but I just don't want to make a new account somewhere.

^^ word

for whatever reason i made an account there a few years back and i think it works diff then here on BL

on BL i made an account and was able to post or make threads immediatly on TC, everytime i tried to post i was told i would need to PM a mod to activate my account or that my account wasnt acctivated or some bullshit like that

so i never actually posted but i still learned a good deal

and im glad u didt take offense, i only said it cuz i didnt want u to interpret what i said as "go somewhere else" or anything like that
