:wtf:
Alcohol evaporates easily, THC molecules do not. Alcohol is volatile, and THC isn't. The THC comes out of solution (with the alcohol) when the alcohol is allowed to evaporate.

At least that is my understanding. I remember something like that way back in chemistry classes... something dissolved in alcohol will remain behind if you allow the alcohol to evaporate (it would be true for most things... it's true of water).

At least that's how I envision it... maybe I'm wrong.
pandorasbox Reviewed by pandorasbox on . Marijuana and everclear... My bro put some weed in here...we're letting the alcohol draw the cannabinoids out and after a couple weeks we'll put it onto a plate, let the alcohol evaporate and scrape up what we have left...hope it works..anyone ever tried anything like this?
