Hello there!

I hope you are all well, a pretty nice forum you have here, love it!!! :)

So, I watched several videos on how to extract THC using alcohol. So I got about 10g of really nice weed (just 10g yeah, weed is FUCKING expensive here...) and a bottle of really good absinthe (68% vol.).

So then I grinded and cleaned it. Heated it a little before I put it into the jar. The ratio was about 3:1 (alcohol:weed) and I tought it was ok because on one of the videos they say 4:1, but saw some other guys do it 2:1 and 1,5:1.

Anyway, I left the alcohol to boil for about 50 minutes (a really soft boil with small ballons). After that I filtered the liquid from the marijuana and ofcourse wanted to tested it.

It was recommended do to a few drops to see how it feels, so I started with 6 drops but 40 minutes later I felt almost nothing, then I decided to take another ~8 drops... and so on Ive been increasing it...

At the end I got 2 soop spoons and guess what... almost nothing happend again... just cant get high with this shit.

Anyway I checked in the comments and some more forums on what I have done wrong. They said that I have to wait a couple of days and this is when the shit gets stronger. Also read some more opinions to get the alcohol evaporated so I leave with just oil, but what should I do with this oil? Smoke it? Eat it?

However, I placed the filtered marijuana back in the jar with alcohol and left it for the night.

So my question is: What I did wrong? Or is it that I have to wait?
Should I evaporate the alcohol in order to get the oil (They say its even stronger) and how much is the normal doze?

Thank you!!

P.S. If I leave the alcohol evaporate wouldn`t that be a waste of THC?
As far as I understand the THC dissolve in FAT and ALCOHOL, so the alcohol contains the THC and if I leave it to evaporate wouldn`t the THC in the alcohol evaporate as well or it will stay in the oil that we want to have at the end?

Hi Yoan,

68% alcohol, is 32% water and extracts things that you don't want in your meds.

Boiling in alcohol, picks up not only the water solubles, but a boatload of chlorophyll, which tastes and vaporizes harsh, and which gives some people severe gastric distress, though in smaller doses it is generally salubrious.

I recommend 95% ethanol and a frozen QWET extraction, if you are after quality.
