Everclear Vodka 190 Proof (95%alcohol) Hash???? !!!! ???

Hey Guys you know

I was starting to think about what types of hash can be made, to be honest a friend of mine ran some bubble from some trim and it was nowhere near melty lol I guess you need to start with buds dry buds it seems must be necessary or dry trim atleast

I was thinking that hash oil or something made with alcohol or bhutane would be nicer, however

I kind of tend to think that because of the wet consistency of the actual ISO oil, leads me to believe that when the oil disolves with the alcohol, some of the alcohol doesn't evaporate completely, it remains in the resin until it is burned (just a theory) very minute amount. I know that its supposed to evaporate but also so is water, and water remains in buds even if you run them through a dehydrator, theres always some water in there. The oil is much wetter than the oil or the thc glands themselves they have been disolved and it is a mix in my humble opinion.


but ISO is poisoness anyway why the hell mess with it??


So I got to thinking the idiot savante that I am, and I was thinking why the hell would anyone use ISO when they could get everclear Vodka, with 95 percent alcohol, I would think that would make some KILLER hash!!! I'm going to instruct my friend to test this theory scientifically perhaps in the future!!!

Yeah, Everclear is about $10 per pint and iso is about $2 or less. Just made some iso myself, isn't wet if allowed to dry completely before collected.

Okay....for the record...this is not a new idea...and this does work.

If you really want to find out the BEST way to utilize grain alcohol and cannabis, don't try to make HASH with it...learn to make yourself a great tincture. There is a formula referred to as "green dragon" and it is a great place to start...

I've been doing so for some time using the same high %abv everclear...and tinctures are really one of if not my favorite way to medicate. Very effective and quite inconspicuous as well....

insult me all you want but it was just one of the many reasons why iso is a better choice and i think you are misunderstood about iso
and like dank frank said a tincture would be a better use for everclear than making hash

well I actually make everclear hash, then simply mix it with an oil like almond (smells so good) and then add some cinnamon oil as well as some cinnamon or peppermint extract and presto blamo, super strong tincture. Like 3 to 6 drops and good night world. I do tend to actually add a bit of everclear at the end too, especially if it is still a bit thick, and i use the oil that sticks to my pyrex bowl by swishing the last bit of everclear in the bowl first.

SHRED420: My friend I am not out to insult anyone, as this was mainly a joke.
by the way ISO is also old news but we are talking about this here this is the place to post questions regarding things.

I Know I am NOT the first person to think of this Everclear idea, just as you are not the first person to mention ISO. I KNOW people have tried this before and I was curious about it!! I know its much more expensive I'm not an idiot! I'm talking a small run a very small run, so small most of you would laugh!!!

This was intended to be a fun idea and Shred420 my brother I was just reacting to how you told me there is something wrong with my post, seems kind of elitest thats all. I'm just asking a question here, thank you.

My point with ISO is YES it is MUCH cheaper right, but don't try drinking it because it has poison in it that will kill you or make you blind if you drink it. So this usually motivates normal people an even alcoholics alike, to spring for the more expensive stuff without the poision so that they can live to drink another day :)

You know people think Cocaine is natural because it comes from a Cocaine plain, but you know they dissolve the leaves in Diesel Fuel for weeks, then mix in strong Hydrochloric Acid, and eventually Drano, yeah that all evaporates too supposedly thats why its so harmless of course!!! you know they could use much more better products and maybe make medical quility, but they don't because its cheaper :) Money is not the issue here in this post/

I am not saying that a very experienced hash maker can not make safe ISO. However an idiot like me who doesn't know what they are doing could end up fucking up. Besides you can take shots of the solvent or mix drinks while you are waiting!! ITs called having fun, which was my intention for this post :)

It just strikes me as odd sometimes that people are so concerned about the chemicals they put into their plants,organics and all. just seems to me for some reason making hash shouldn't involve risking blowing yourself up, and dangerous chemicals. Just my own person oppinion, heck I'm ok with buds.

Peace

The problem with using any "drinking" alcohol is the sugars that will not evaporate.
sugar tastes like shit when it gets burnt.

I did the Everclear 3extraction a year ago and the result was dissapointing -the "hash" was dark grean, tasted like hell and I couldn´t eat the brownies that I made out of it.

The problem is that alchohol disolves a lot of chlorophyll and that tastes bad! I kept the weed in the alchohol for a day, some people say that if you just quickly "rinse" the weed then it works better ie the hash is lighter etc.

Why not make som kief and make some hash out of that?´I started dry sifting last winter and the result is great! No messing with solvents and the kief can be used as it is (which I do) or be made into hash.

Good idea, it certainly simplifies keeping the chlorophyll out of the mix!

Using QWISO instead of a long soak makes a big difference in taste as well.

Maybe for people selling on the black market who do not have to meet quality standards like no residual solvents.

I made some hash oil infused flowers with isopropanol. There was no health hazard from the barely detectable residue (probably in the 50 ppm range since it was a hurried production). Yet as soon as the patient ran out, they were complaining about being poisoned from it and demanded more. Never mind that their exposure was several orders of magnitude lower than any actual toxic level, and I explained to them beforehand that it was impossible to be exposed to quantities greater than normal exposure levels as a residue in the product (and they wouldn't ever know if I didn't tell them what I did).

Would someone claim solvent poisoning if it were Ethanol? Do people worried about Isopropanol know that the metabolite is Acetone and that cleaning your fingernails exposes you to more acetone than getting blasted on hash oil with 20ppm Iopropanol in it?

NO

If you're referring to everclear with "drinking alcohol", then your statement is incorrect. Everclear has two ingredients: ethyl alcohol and water. I've personally made oil using everclear as the only solvent, and it tastes just as good as BHO.

We use to water wash the oil, pour in enough distilled water to cover the oil about 1 or two inches, heat until the whole mess is boiling. After boiling take the pan and put it on a bed of ice, the oil will become a big blob, pour off the water and all the crap in it. Heat the oil until the water is gone, you can tell by the bubbles. We only used kief no green matter. These days people don't seem to like heating it so hot, however it made great oil, that was clean, great tasting, a little on the dark side but worked great... We made many kilos of oil like this...
