Strong sedative properties

[Gray Wolf]

In extracting meds for a cancer patient, I just discovered something that looks extremely interesting for those of ya’ll looking for some good sleep meds.

A cancer patient requested that I extract her meds using ethanol, so I extracted 16 grams of the oil from approximately 121 grams of frozen prime bud using chilled 190 proof Clear Springs and a 3 minute quick wash, followed by distilling off the alcohol.

Microscopic examination of the plant material revealed significant resin remaining, so after drying the material, I ran a butane extraction on it, instead of another ethanol quick wash, to see what the differences were and yielded 11.5 grams of BHO.

The bud was about four different strains and the first extraction upon testing proved to have reasonably heavy analgesic and sedative effect suggesting CBD and CBN, with a speedy mind accompaniment suggesting high THC. Not a good night time med.

The second extraction using butane was even more heavily couch locking, but without the racing mind. It also produced excellent pain relief.

So far only two test panel members have sampled these meds and both rated it heavily sedating.

On the other hand, I got the following e-mail this morning from the patient regarding the Previously Run material oil extraction.

“I found our PR run sedative but not too much. Slept well awoke feeling rested but not groggy. Great meds, thanks!”

I will be investigating this further, and if you are looking for sedative properties, you might want to try it yourself.

hmm good to know great work

What's the consistency of the post-ethanol butane run?

You used 16g and got 11.5 back in BHO. Something is not right. You need to rerun your test. Best case scenario would be a return of 3-6g. BHO extraction is the worst return. Can you please explain how you accomplished this .

this is very interesting

He used 121 grams of frozen bud. Did two runs on the same material.

Sounds right to me!!!

Great r n´d wolf!!! keep up the great work

wow nice....def worth a try

What's the consistency of the post-ethanol butane run?

I mixed it with other ingredients before it cooled off, so I can't tell you the final state, but it was definitely different than a simple BHO extraction using bud.

Most noticeable was that it had a lower viscosity (soupy) and an interesting green hue.

What GDK said. I double extracted 121 grams using two processes.

The first quick wash process seems to have made off with a disproportionate amount of the THC, leaving the BHO less speedy than usual.

Total oil was around 22.7%, which isn't the best I have gotten from bud, but is marginally above average.

 

[Hammerhead]

that's about right. When I saw 11.5g and 16 grams It through me off. I just ran a batch I got 28g from 4oz. I did notice that the spent bud was still sticky. The test I need to do it find out how much butane is needed to get all of the THC out. This will not be the same different strains will produce more/less THC so I used an ave of 1.5 cans but still had sticky buds especially the buds at the end of the tube.

I'd say the green is probably because the ethanol had already begun to degrade the chlorophyll by the time the butane got to it. Just curious, what other ingredients do your mix with your meds, do you use something to make it easier to handle?

 

[Hammerhead]

^^^^^agree the ethanol breaks down the chlorophyll that's why this typeof extraction of oil is always green. BHO I have seen black,brown and honey color. The batch I just made one run was black and the other 2 where brown.

The test I need to do it find out how much butane is needed to get all of the THC out. .

I usually gauge when to quit by the color of the butane exiting the tube.

You are very likely right on the chloraphyll, as my virgin BHO using the same process is usually gold or amber.

I custom made a sublingual out of it for this cancer patient using the following ratios:

10gm Decarboxylated BHO
3 gm Virgin raw coconut oil
.7 gm Cinnamon leaf oil
.7 gm Cinnamon bark oil
.5 gm Liquid gum Myrrh

GW, when and how do you decarboxylated during the process?

 

[ZEROorDIE]

so just to make sure im not missing the point

what it sounds like you are suggesting is that the CBD and CBN dissolve slower in the ethanol or at least more readily in the butane

this could get very interesting for the people who want to get a higher ration of THC-d9 for mentally therapuetic effects or a high CBD extract for pain meds

I cook my BHO in a 240F oil bath to purge and decarboxylate it.

It does appear that the lighter melting point constituets dissolve first or at least faster.

I really wanna see/try a variety of these. This angle of approach to oils is something I have never really though about before but makes good sense. So if you wanted to you could mix and match oils to make a specific medicine for each patients needs. the possibilities are endless.
