Little BHO made up

imo bho done from a person is very risky, and not a good thing to injest! there is no way to get all the chems out of that even if you think you have.
now, itsme has a nice proper looking set up run from lab tecks. i would hope, we need to avoid the chemical extraction.
iso is better and water resin hash and bubble are the safer ways to extract.
Bho if winterized can be pure and clean. Although hydrocarbons do the job, they are a petro chemical, not my first choice for making meds. Supercritical CO2 extraction would be my first choice, but the initial capital cost is a real commitment. Ethyl alcohol is organic and a 100% natural solvent, if used at low temp (-40) fats, lipids, and chlorophyl, will not be extracted. Able to make a pure, clean, safe extraction.

Itsme.

BHO even if winterized will still contain mystery oil residue if the butane is not first distilled in a closed loop system.

Butane is also a naturally occurring organic compound.

Even if butane was only effective for extracting THC, which its not, its odd when folks try to extract and isolate non THC compounds, which to 99% of cannabis users is not ideal. Whole plant(smoking bud) and whole plant extracts ftw. From what I hear rosin is better than the rest anyway. If one has to isolate different compounds to whip up a recipe to make an ideal product their bud sucked in the first place, and its not like guys are making 10% CBG or any other non major cannabinoid into a dominant compound in the end product(mainly because the effects are as desirable/medicinal as THC), most people into the isolating end up concentrating terpenes into the end product, which again is because either their product sucked to begin with or their exctraction/purging method is to harsh or not ideal for preserving terps. Many ways to skin a goat, no reason to rag on BHO over Etoh, they both can be used effectively and safely to concentrate a mass majority of compounds from cannabis.

You can drink etoh, yes, but if you drink to much you die. Pretty sure etoh has destroyed more lives than butane. They're tools how we use and wield them is the important part.

Agreed, just say'in that butane isn't my first choice of a solvent for med grade extraction. I've been smoking BHO exclusively for the last 4 years, if done right it is perfectly safe and effective. IMO cO2 is a superior solvent for med grade extractions, just very costly. Butane is so popular because anyone with $30 and you tube can make it. I'm thinking if you had a choice butane wouldn't be your first choice.

and the ease of making it is also why butane is used...or that's why i use it. a can of butane and a bottle of 190 proof is all you need...and your "stuff" you are making it from
