Well to tell you the truth it was one of your posts that I followed.

I ended up with tar, but it worked out ok.
So thanks for the TEK, I would have thanked you on that thread but can't post there because of newness.
Actually I was hoping that you would sort of let me know where you latest posts are about this whole subject. You seem to be the only one that I came across so far that is using a microwave. I don't think it would have occurred to me if I hadn't seen your post about it.
I also saw that you had some other posts regarding the use of certain solvents that don't heat up much by microwaves and the advantages that you mentioned, not all of which I understood, but given the interest on my part I may come to understand them. I think there would be more hope for me if I could visualize the molecules the way you guys do. I am pretty geometrically orientated as opposed to more abstract formulations. It would be nice if you could direct me to your latest posts regarding this.
I understand that there a loads of people who basically want the same info, but I don't seem to be able to get the internal search engine here to perform worth a damn. I have been reading the cactus posts, and am presently doing a comparison of your solventless microwave tek with the one called the chunk tek and am right now trying to decide which other one to do, since I have divided my starting material into three.
I think that my goal is to have about a half a gram of x of some quality, that were produced with as close to food quality as possible. I am thinking that your microwave method with the right solvents, like you mentioned is the way to go. Although I am just guessing at this point. I would like to tinker around with it. There must be some kind of pyrex pressure cooking device that one could put right inside a microwave oven. If I knew as much as you guys do, I would get together with one of these companies that make food grade demulsifyer that they will custom compound for the customer. These things are for sale for the food industry to keep everything separated.
I guess eventually I will learn enough so that I know what to ask for. Or is this no longer an issue? Has the emulsification mess that I have read so much about been overcome? I experienced very little so far with the chunk method with the freezing, but it takes much longer and gives loads of water to handle compared to the microwave one that I copied from you.
I notice that in some of your other microwave oriented posts that you give the impression, that it is mush more beneficial to use solvents and the other chemistry with microwaves rather than just water. In the end what is your present idea on microwaving as you described without solvents or chemicals?
