best thing to make oil with is isoprophyl alcohol...take 3-5 gallons of it depending on quanity of weed or even shake...put weed in garbage container...add isoprophyl stir and let sit for 30 mins..longer you let it sit more oil you get..less time you let it sit better oil less you get..your choice..get rags rap them over the top of garbage container..tape them secure...tip container so liquid (alcohol) pours out...pour it into 5 gallon buckets...liquid should be a darkish green....after all liquid is extracted (make sure you did it threw rags so no leaf or bud gets in bucket)..burn left over bud in fire pit or somethin...get a Wok for cooking vegetables and such..put liquid in it cook on low until liquid has turned in solid oil state keep adding liquid till all is evaporated and scrap off excess oil..do this while its still warm so it will be easy to run off good luck

Man, that has got to be harsh on the throat and lungs.
I never use alcohol since learning how to use Butane.

Hot knife it (roll a ball of it up, get two knife blades hot at the tips, press the hash between the hot tips and inhale the fumes.)

I just rolled it around into a ball and dropped it in a bowl on top of some bud.. Tell ya, though, I didn't care for the shit at all. I don't know if I did something wrong or what, but it tasted like shit and had no punch. My finger hash from trimming was a 1000X better.

that's all the chlorophyll that the alcohol extracts, ruins the taste.
I've used Naphtha and that worked great nice golden oil. Hexane is also a good one, they use it for vegetable oil extraction BTW.
Butane is a greenhouse gas folks, please stop using it.

Butane is a source of greenhouse gases when combusted. By itself it has no insulating capability, and is not a greenhouse gas.

ahhh another user in denial, although not as potent a greenhouse gas as methane (one of the worst) it is indeed a greenhouse gas UNCOMBUSTED.

No, I'm a person with a little chemistry background. Butane is heavier than air, thus it sinks to ground level, which almost immediately eliminates the threat of atmospheric warming. It has poor thermal insulation qualities as well, far less than straight nitrogen, or oxygen, or carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide or ozone. The only way it would be a threat to us is if the entire surface of the planet was flooded with butane gas - good luck with that. Butane is not a threat.

LOL, C02 is heavier than air too, I guess it's not a threat either.

No, CO2 is NOT heavier than your typical air at sea-level atmospheric pressure. Do you know what typical breathing air is mostly comprised of? Nitrogen. At sea-level atmospheric pressure the primarily-nitrogen atmosphere is dense enough that CO2 rises and gathers in the atmosphere, but not high enough to make it to the Karman Line, where it would just be evacuated into the vacuum of space.

talking to the earlier posts that mentioned the harshness of oil extracted by alcohol
seem to recall a trick from 'cannabis alchemy'(hints at my age)
anyhow the trick was to add activated charcoal to the mix, resulting in a honey oil
never did try that back in the day, hoping to in near future though

Try supercritical CO2 extraction. It's really easy to do and no flammable gases to blow you up!

isoprophyl is that the same as ethanol,is it better if i leave the leaves and buds in the freezer before doing this

Ethyl alcohol is the kind you drink. It is made from, usually, grain then into beer or whatever. Isoprophyl alcohol is poison. It us used for cuts, rub downs, sterilization, etc. ISO is also called wood alcohol and is made from wood and such.

I use ethanol or water, I've yet to have enough product to merit CO2 purchases. I don't use anything that's not food grade. Would you prefer to eat salad greens washed with isopropyl alcohol, or butane; or would you prefer the alternatives?
