there are many different things they may add to iso to make it taste bad and not all are "safe to conssume".

A quick low temp quick wash with ethanol is easy to do and safe to consume, even if not fully purged

What CW said! We clarify the butter first, which dramatically reduces chlorophyll pickup.ive made some cannabutter a couple times and it always has a crappy taste to it. heard that the problem is chloraphyl,, is there a way to make it taste better or remove it? i heard that you can soak the weed in room temp water to remove it (chloraphyl ) but is this correct? any help is appreciated
Nice! Is there a noticeable flavor/potency difference between coconut oil and ghee? Is it worth the additional step of clarifying the butter versus using a coconut oil from the start?What CW said! We clarify the butter first, which dramatically reduces chlorophyll pickup.

well... The only problem I can think of with ghee is if the temps go above 220. I think it comes down to preference and application. If you prefer butter, or wanted something vegan. I have read about coconut oil that there are 2 different kinds, and to be sure you are using the edible one. Something about coconut oil being heat sensitive. Let me google for a minute.Nice!

Also, having used your QWET methodology I wonder if you've had any success creating night time edibles using the material from the third wash (the water wash)?
The unrefined will liquefy quickly when heat is added. I use unrefined coconut oil for a ton of different things it's good stuff.Okay I've looked for a minute and I think it's bullshit. There is refined and unrefined. Unrefined is more of a butter texture. so oil probably doesn't need to be clarified.

Thats exactly how it works..I always was under the inprsssion that it's due to the fact that heat degrades chlorophyll at a rapid pace. At 212f it's hot enough to degrade the chlorophyll, and hot enough to have sped up some conversion from THCa to THC, but remains well below the boiling point of THC. If it gets hot enough (not really possible with water at normal pressure) THC will certainly boil off (vaporize). That's essentially how I understand fractional distillation to work. They have precision control over boiling points and vacuum and heat to a certain temperature and then capture that vapor in a separate container. A certain range of temp results in a certain "fraction" of product (wanted or unwanted), and there is certainly some overlap.
I could be wrong, but I think boiling the leaves will result in the loss of some THC ( and the majority of chlorophyll. )
