help-concentrating thc oil Options

#1 Posted : 8/13/2010 2:36:40 AM
A few months ago I made 1 liter of thc infused vegetable oil from 8 ounces crystal covered pot leafs(scrap from harvest). The oil is ok but pretty weak and I tried to double up the oil in brownie recipes, but the brownies would get really soft and the effects were only a little greater. What my question is, can I concentrate the vegetable oil without heating it past 93 degrees fairenheit(preserves rarest cannibinoids)? I hope this wont appear as a stupid question, I don't know too much about this chemistry and I dont start chemistry college for a few months(can't wait).

Sorry but I would not count on it. THC is not water soluble so you can not extract it. The oil and THC will both be soluble in any organic solvents. I don't know the boiling point of the oil but I bet it is very high, higher than the cannabinoids so you can not just "boil some off" as with water or something. Distilling the cannabinoids would be too complicated and likely require heavy vacuum and lab equipment and even then Im not sure. I can not envision any simple way to concentrate it or extract the cannabinoids.

The biggest problem people make when making butter or oil is not letting the mixture extract long enough. SWIM learned this the hard way. To make butter or oil one should heat the mixture just below boiling for at least eight hours with plenty of stiring. A great way is letting it all sit in a crockpot for several days. I am not sure how you did it but this could effect the product.
