Not too long ago, a buddy of mine asked me to clean his piece for him.
"I don't care how you do it, I just want my bowl back clean and in one piece."
Well my mom was home at the time, so boiling it was out of the question. Therefore, I figured I would just soak it in a bowl of rubbing alcohol for a few hours. Once the pipe was clean, I brought it back over to buddies house and was then left with the dilemma of what to do with this concoction I had sitting in my garage. I had read many methods of hash making where the trimmings/buds are soaked for a short amount of time in a jar containing 95% isopropyl rubbing alcohol; strained well; and then left in a pyrex dish somewhere well ventilated until the alcohol had evaporated. Though I had used 70% alcohol, I assumed that since resin has a much higher concentration of THC than trimmings/buds, that it shouldn't really make much of a difference. Well after the straining process (I used coffee filters), and allowing the alcohol to dry, I was left with a pyrex dish coated with millions of small, amber colored crystals. I proceeded to scrape out the dish with a razorblade, and was left with approximately 3g (could be far more or lese, no scale available to me at the time
) of these crystals ranging in size from table salts to rock salts. Well of course I had to smoke some of it to see if my crazy science experiment had worked; and I was pleasantly surprised when one small bowl left me so stoned off my ass I couldn't move from my bed for about an hour, after which I somehow found the energy to get up and proceed to eat damn near everything in the house 
While I was smoking I noticed that it popped and crackled once it got burning, which I found kind of weird; and when it cashed it turned into a hard little black ball that when squeezed turned to dust. Now, mind you, that when I smoked this it was after a three week smoke break (I had found my tolerance to have gotten greater than I could afford) and that it was all I smoked for about 2-3 weeks after. I am therefore forced to ask the question, "Did I get this high because my little experiment worked, or was this just because of my lowered tolerance?"
I apologize if this description was a bit too long, but I just really am curious to hear someone elses input concerning this whole ordeal and whether or not it was a good idea
much appreciated to anyone that could help me out!!!
