This black tar its called hash oil... and its VERY strong...

Well... thats a proof that we shouldnt judge anything by how it looks... if you had smoked "that ugly looking shit" you wouldve got HIGHHHH... :stoned: higher than if you had smoked the weed from where this oil was extracted.

Man... thats weird... ive read at erowid that acetone was a better solvent than a lot of others (alcohols, petroleum ether, etc) because it didnt solved undesired substances... yet is didnt even mentioned butane, so i dont know if it is actually better or worse than butane.

Anyway... to the OP... i would suggest you to make hash oil, cause it is the most lasting way to use weed... i only smoke hash oil, made with the weed i get (and acetone, so its a black tar indeed)... and even if i smoke every day, the hash oil made with 1g of weed lasts one entire week. What means i can smoke one entire year with only 2oz of weed...
