In the 1980's I produced a lot of pressed puddy hash from outdoor crops that never get a chance to fully mature here in Canada. I was using ISO and then a hot water extraction on the bunk. One day the RCMP came to visit me, not to arrest me but to give me advice on making the hash. The police suggested that i use menthol hydrate instead of ISO. They showed me charts of toxicity and menthol was hard on the bottom of the list. Menthol doesn't extract as quik as other extractors but it is definately safer for the consumer. On the other hand butane is the most popular for oil extraction. Oil, unlike hash binder is better made with a cold extraction. Heat(boiling point of alcohol) will cause the resins to crystalize and is then only good for hash binder.
Why thankyou, this info is very interesting. I am very fond of hash, hell a family member got snagged a few years ago trying to smuggle thousands of pounds of hash thru the saint lawrence seaway. I really do miss that soft brown maleable sheesh that you friends up north were providing us here in vermont. miss those days i do.
