Yes you can but I dont know why you would want to. Only the alcohol in the whiskey can extract the cannabinoids which will make it far less effective than other options with higher alcohol content not to mention you will be evaporating it anyway. You would be spending more money for something that does an inferior job.Hi all . . .
I was curious if you could use a nice Whiskey or other fine booze to extract cannabis instead of isopropyl alcohol or butane?
Thanks . . .

They are not as scary as I made it sound. 3 of us would get together to extract our weed, now only 2 of us. Dry sift doesn't get out of the weed what I want & I don't really care for bubble hash plus it's not oil. I need FECO. Also when we extract, we soak outdoors & cook indoors with rice cookers or electric fry pans with a few extract fans as well as stand up fans,we have never had a problem until " smokey the bear" showed up. Lesson #5, don't let your other team members invite friends to the party. My fault I guess, I did know the guy just not very well."Extraction party"
sounds daaaaaaaangerous and scary!
For "extraction parties" i wouldnt reccomend anything else than dry sieve or bubble hash....worst case scenario get a mop and change your clothes ...you know......
I always use naptha. Not VM version, use a rice cooker or slow cooker outside. I use a fume hood, but have access to a real lab. Never make any solvent extraction inside without a hood. Unless of course you like emergency rooms.Hi all . . .

I think you should re think the isopropyl alcohol...Thank you to all who replied, I appreciate your thoughts & suggestions.
We have decided to stick with the isopropyl as Everclear is not available here in Ontario, to my knowledge. That's why I thought Whiskey.
What I am going to try is to add maybe just a shot of 40 Creek to the extraction to see if it adds a little whiskey flavor.
Thanks again . . .

I use dry ice to make kief then soak the leftover in everclear for two minutes. Cook off in rice burner tnen mix and roll into a ball.I've only used grain alcohol to make tinctures and RSO. It had the highest alcohol percentage.
Dang man, I'll have to give that a go. Thanks for the idea :)I use dry ice to make kief then soak the leftover in everclear for two minutes. Cook off in rice burner tnen mix and roll into a ball.
Makes it not so messy and easy to work with. I like to tear off 1/4g and make a ball (about the size of a pea) and place in on a cracker and in the oven on 250 for 20 minutes. That might be too much for some people.Dang man, I'll have to give that a go. Thanks for the idea :)
Sorry, i'm a lab guy. Proper terminology for us is fume hoods. Whatever you call them, it's a smart play. Especially with butane, even static can set that shit off.RR1. . .
That is what I meant by extract fans, they are extraction hoods. Like I said we have never had a problem in many years of doing this. By naptha do you mean that gas you put in a camp stove? Is it non-toxic ?
Thanks for the reply I appreciate it.
