Hello! This is my first post!
I spent last 2 week researching and learning for the best extraction method for me.
Yesterday i found this organic & food safe method that i will copypaste below , and i want to know if its reliable , thanks in advance
THE METHOD :"
So many of you still post about not being able to find naphtha or xylene in your country/local area. Don't extract with hydrocarbon solvents. Even using state of the art vacuum filters and ovens you're NEVER going to get 100% of a solvent off of an extracted product. EVER. That means you and your dumb buddies dicking around in your kitchen are ABSOLUTELY going to end up with a contaminated extract if you employ said methods. A friend of mine tells me that spice extracted with these heavy solvents absolutely have a taste to them that spice made with acetone or ethanol doesn't; if it's present enough to be tasted there's more than a negligible amount left over in your batch. Your body can't break these molecules down. That means years from now those bits of naptha or xylene that you inhaled or ate are still gonna be bouncing around your bloodstream stealing electrons from other molecules in your body and suffocating your cells (yes, this also means that you shouldn't make BHO and should dab QWET hash oil instead). There's enough carcinogenic shit in our environment today as it is. You shouldn't be ingesting any of it at all, much less when your undergoing healing and your nervous system is as sensitive to outside stimuli as it can be.
This tek will use either acetone or ethanol (190 proof drinking alcohol) as the solvent. Even though both are safe won't some still be left over once evaporated? For sure, BUT:
Acetone and ethanol are not heavy hydrocarbon solvents. CONSIDERABLY MORE will evaporate off the resulting extract than naphtha, xylene, toluene or whatever would be able to even under the most optimal conditions. Even if that wasn't true at all....
Acetone and ethanol are incredibly safer to ingest. YOUR BODY CAN BREAK THEM DOWN. Your body makes acetone, albeit in small amounts. Even so the fact that it is a normal byproduct of human metabolism attests to it's non-toxicity. Yeah you don't want to drink a container of nail polish remover but up to a certain point we know that it isn't neurotoxic, carcinogenic or nasty to your body.
Ethanol is also relatively non-toxic. Your body can break ethanol down. Alcohol is neurotoxic and carcinogenic but we all know that taking a sip of beer realistically isn't going to cause you that much cancer. Ethanol is an incredible solvent which also makes some very tasty hash oil if used correctly. An important note here is that it is not recommended that you substitute ethanol for isopropyl alcohol. IPA evaporates fairly cleanly but the potential leftovers should worry you. Our bodies can't metabolize IPA safely because the by products our liver turns it into are very toxic. Probably not enough to be worried about immediately but if you want some proof of its toxicity there are reports on the web of people who smoke IPA hash oil that've had lasting hallucinatory problems and other perceptual disorders. Steer clear.
If you use ethanol also make sure that it isn't de-natured. De-natured ethanol isn't taxed so the govn'ment puts toxins in it to kill muhfuckahz that try to get slammered without paying up for un-poisoned liquor.
The beauty of this tek is that except for maybe 100% acetone or 190 proof liquor all of the items needed for this extraction can be bought in your local supermarket. Safety gear is recommended if you're a numbnuts but you're not going to go blind immediately by getting any of this shit in your eye. These ingredients are also safe to dispose of (that paint thinner you flush down the toilet or throw in the garbage makes baby seals covered in oil cry). This tek is for informational purposes and should only be attempted in countries where it's legal to extract spice. Don't do this in countries where your government has made it illegal to awaken yourself to their attempts at establishing enough population control to hijack the coming global nervous system and turn it into a hive-mind.
Materials: •Bark •Blender •Distilled White Vinegar •Baking Soda •Two Stainless Steel Pots (Aluminum pots will oxidize in the presence of acids and bases) •Turkey Baster •Two 1000ml mason jars •Glass baking tray or something else to evaporate onto •Butter muslin or cheesecloth •Sunflower oil •100% Acetone or 190 Proof Ethanol (Drinking Alcohol) •Stainless steel mesh strainer •Funnel •Coffee Filter
Freeze and thaw your bark three times. This breaks down the cells in your bark and allows them to burst open easier releasing goodies.
Put your bark in a blender and blend until it's fine. If it's still frozen the bark will be easier to break up by hand. Break bigger pieces into smaller chunks and blend a little bit at a time so you don't fuck your blender's motor.
Put your blended bark into the pot with water and a dash of distilled white vinegar. One of the best things about this method is that you don't really need PH papers if you're not excessive with your vinegar in the initial steps. 30 ml of vinegar is more than enough for each gallon of water so use that or a tad less. Boil the material for an hour and a half. At the end of the boil pour the mixture through your mesh strainer into the other pot. This other pot is going to contain your reduced, combined boils. You can start reducing now if you like but just make sure you put this pot on a lower temperature so that all the water doesn't evaporate and burn your hard work while you're doing your additional boils on the bark in your first pot. It happens. You will start swearing if it does. After you've strained the bark throw it back in the first pot and do two more acid boils on it by adding more vinegar and water. Strain the material into the reduction pot after each time.
Once you've done three acid boils and gotten them all in your second pot you're going to reduce it down enough to fit into your jar or whatever you're going to defat in. Those 1.5 liter glass jugs that wine come in can also work but you want the container to be at least 1000 ml and made of glass. You're going to need to have some room for the oil to also fit in the jar and move around so if you're using a 1000ml mason jar reduce your combined boils down to about 800 ml.
Wash the mesh strainer so there's no leftover bark from the earlier strainings in it and then put your butter muslin inside the strainer. If you got generic cheesecloth instead it'll still work, but you'll have to layer it a few times in the strainer so it's bunched up since the holes in standard cheesecloth are a bit wider than the holes on a piece of butter muslin and you want a semi fine filter (but not as fine as a coffee filter). Put the strainer in your funnel and put the funnel in the jar. Pour your reduced, collected boils into the strainer so it filters into the de-fat jar.
It's helpful to do this step and the previous one immediately after reducing all of your boils. Because they'll still be hot after boiling this de-fat step will work much better as the fats and tannins are more soluble in the oil at higher temperatures.
Pour 100 ml of sunflower oil into the jar. Cap the jar, shake it vigorously for two minutes and then let it sit for a while. Oil doesn't separate very quickly from the mixture. When it separates enough for your liking suck off the top layer of oil with your turkey baster and put it into your second jar. Pour 100 ml of oil into your main jar again and repeat this process. I'd recommend doing at least four defats although honestly it'd be better if you just did it until you stop pulling a lot of visible fats. They'll cloud the oil and be extremely visible once the oil and water separate so just keep doing it until you aren't getting much in the oil. The more pulls you do the cleaner the result.
Like I said oil doesn't separate from water very quickly at all. When you transfer the oil to your second jar some water will likely fall out into the bottom of the jar over the next half an hour. You want this so when it does suck out the bottom layer of water and throw it back in the main jar.
For those that have performed paint-thinner extractions and are confused right now we aren't extracting any active chemicals here. They are still bonded to the vinegar salts and will remain in the water. Since we're going to be freebasing the spice in the next step this de-fat allows the product to be cleaned up a bit. The resulting goo would be smokable even without this step; it just helps to reduce the end weight and remove some waxy fats that aren't desirable.
7) Scrub your turkey baster out so there's no oil residue inside of it. Clean one of your stainless steel pots too if there's any bits of unfiltered bark in there. Once they're clean grab your main jar with the acid boils and suck out the water from the bottom of the jar and squirt it into your pot. The reason you suck from the bottom is because there will be some leftover oily bits in the top of your jar from your defats and you want to avoid getting that into the pot. It's not the worst thing if you do it just might latch onto the freebased spice in a few steps and it could hurt your final pull with your solvent a tiny tiny bit. Once everything's in the pot reduce it down to a tiny ass puddle. You need to keep it on a low boil and watch it carefully because there's a huge risk of boiling all the water off and hosing your work here but the puddle's going to have to evaporate in open air during the next step, which is fairly slow. However much you can reduce here helps. Just make sure you keep an eye on it and check it frequently. Once it's reduced enough for your liking pour the concentrated puddle into your baking tray to evaporate.
Now you're going to make some sodium-carbonate, which is just sodium-bicarbonate (baking soda) with one of the CO2 groups taken off. Baking soda will only base up to PH 8.5 or 8.8sh. Sodium-Carbonate on the other hand will get the PH up to 11, which is what we want. To do this you either need to put your baking soda in the oven on a glass baking pan at 450 degrees F for an hour and a half or cook it on the stove in one of your stainless steel pots for 20 minutes (Stainless Steel is important). If you do this on the stove make sure you stir everything up with a stainless steel spoon every few minutes and don't put your head over the shit so as to inhale it or get it in your eyes. It's finished when all of it has a very powdery consistency and looks more dusted grey than white.
9) When the water has all evaporated from the baking pan you'll have a red spice-acetate paste. Cover the entire paste with a thick layer of sodium-carbonate. Use more than is necessary and leave just enough room for everything to be mashed up and mixed around with your solvent later. After it's all covered pour a little bit of water over the entire thing to that the mixture is moistened. You don't want there to be tons of puddles cause that'll take more time to evaporate but you want everything to be nice and damp. Leave the mixture to evaporate.
10) Once shit is bone-dry you're going to do several pulls on it using either your acetone or ethanol. Put a coffee filter in your funnel and put the funnel in a glass jar or cup. Pour your solvent onto the mashed up sodium-carbonate mixture and mash everything up using your stainless steel spoon so that it makes contact with everything and then pour the liquid into the funnel so that it filters into the cup. Do several more of these pulls, collecting into the cup each time. Four or five should be enough. Once you've done enough pulls on the mixture wash out the baking pan with some water and then wipe it dry. After that you can pour your collected solvent in the cup back into the baking tray to let it evaporate.
Once your solvent evaporates you can be finished if you want. Some of those fats and tannins we mentioned in the de-fat step can make it into the result of this evaporation if you didn't do any/enough defats. If your product looks a little hard and waxy instead of gooey you can dissolve everything in some more solvent, filter it and evap again. For some reason it seems to grab the goodies and leave the fats behind. I don't know why. Realistically it shouldn't because if the waxyness was soluble in the solvent once it should carry over a second time, but it doesn't seem to. I don't have any explanation as to why.
If you use ethanol keep in mind that it can't be concentrated more than 96% because it reacts with itself above those concentrations so some sodium carbonate might carry over in the remaining 4% of water, but it won't be a lot by any means If it does don't freak out-it can't burn when you smoke this stuff and isn't toxic. Non-toxic is the key thing here."
I dont know if i should post original link to this post. Just want to know if is ok for 50 gr of mimosa .Thanks in advance.
