So my chemistry friend showed me how to do a "100%" (as he called it) thc extraction for eating.
Basically, the principle is thc bonds easier when their is more saturated fat present (coconut oil) as well as lipids (soy lecithin) which aid in the transfer process from plant matter to oil.
I heat up buds (1 oz) in 1 cup coconut oil, and 3 tbs soy lecithen. Emulsification begins, and I gently heat the contents for 15 minuets. Then I add HALF teaspoon of vodka, which causes a chemical reaction. (thc 'jumps') from the plant matter its attached to to the fat molecules of the coconut oil.

be careful not to add to much alcohol, over a hot flame with oil,
it is an explosion waiting to happen

anyways
I had a question for all the scientists out their, could I achieve a cleaner extraction with a candy thermometer? i.e. getting the oil to exactly the prime Temperature for extraction, then adding the alcohol....

it seems to me as well, since thc is fat soluble, that I could just stir THC into coconut oil and then leave it for a few months? havent tried...

thx
