For the same reason that rubbing alcohol works so well to clean your
glassware, any very strong alcohol will do to dissolve THC. My favorite used
to be Smirnoff Black, but just recently having tried Grey Goose, that might
change.
You'll need:
- A microwave safe bowl or widemouthed jar
large enough to hold the volume of alcohol
- Saran wrap
- A large rubberband
- An ounce or two (schwag/leaf)
- An oversize tea-ball and a funnel are also nice,
but can be done without.
Pour the alcohol into the container and cover top with saran wrap.
Secure with the rubber band and heat for 2-3 minutes (use your judgement on
this, boiling alcohol is BAD). Add the pot at this point, preferrably in the
tea ball, recover with the saran wrap and set on counter - it'll smell
strongly, so heads up. Stir occassionally until cool; the longer you can
leave it, the better. After that, remove the pot, and if desired pour
through a coffee filter to remove the crap. I like pouring it back into the
origional bottle with a funnel, it looks awesome. When done, it should be
the color of pee - but never fret, this is why they invented green food
coloring. Add a few drops and impress all your friends.
The leftover buds, while tempting to look at, are completely bunk - not
only will it no longer get you even slightly buzzed, it'll taste absolutely
horrible. Toss it. Put the beautiful stuff in your freezer and you have a
special treat that'll hit nice and slow, but with *plenty* of strength.
Webmaster's note: from our experience squeeze the leaves multiple times
during cool down and at the end for maximum potency.
