CO2 extraction - Fact or Fiction?

[Basack]

I never said that people have been making iso and butane hash oil for years. I said that the term HASH has already been defined long ago and a new book that has a new definition for it is not the best resource. Stupid stoners?.... YOur on a full melt site and ur avatar is bubble but you call someone a stupid stoner lol.

[Green Supreme]

The term "hash" tho has been used for hundreds of years as a cannabis extract weather it be iso hash, butane hash, dry sift hash (pressed or unpressed), ice water extract hash, etc

Your words genius. What you wrote looks pretty clear to me but back pedal while ya can. Dude if you don't think R.C.Clarke would be a good source for a hash term, well nuff said man. Peace GS

[Basack]

I was refering to iso and butane as present day methods... iso, butane ,Dry sift, ice water, and other solvents (etc......)<----- were just a few example of hash making processes and yes SOME of them have been used for decades. Obviously a retard can tell, i am just trying to say hash = cannabis concentrate. No need to play jedi mind tricks to get your way

No, what you stated was : hash = THC extract , and that an means the same as any.

Oh wait, let him backpedal you say?

Okey and the Dokey, Smokey.

Quote from Robert Connell Clarke's book "HASHISH!" as found in glossary on page. 372 of newest edition:
"A psychoactive substance consisting of the resin heads of glandular trichomes shaken or rubbed from mature female Cannabis floral clusters, pressed together, and shaped."

Seems to me that this isn't the best definition Green S. because this wouldn't include water extracted hash if it is only "hash" when it has been "shaken" or "rubbed" from the plant matter.

[Green Supreme]

I believe ice shakes and rubs. Peace GS

ps. note it doesn't say dry or wet

[YukonBikerGuy]

I concur. The action of the ice and water rub or break off the brittle trichome heads. Whether wet or dry, it is still a mechanical action seperating the heads from the glandular trichomes, as opposed to a chemical action like dissolution in a solvent.

Nicely put. Definition is appropriate. solvent extracted "oil" is not Hash, water extracted resins are.

its more appropriately called HONEY OIL. bho aint got shit on this thoroughly extracted extract. bho is narrow in its spectrum of dissolving tricomes and leaves essential oil behind in the matrix even if butane is clear after rinsing. supercritical butane has more solvating power, but have never seen anyone do it @ 580 psi and 306'f. co2 is also tunable with heat directly effecting pressure. more heat = more pressure. not the case w butane or propane.

There are some 'inventors' working on co2 extractors here:

He says the little green cylinder is an oxygen cylinder rated for 2100 PSI.
In this thread somebody wrote SC CO2 is 3,000 PSI.
