A very controversial and emotional subject because of the evil spirits in the partially combusted material.

What I do, is clean all my pipes in alcohol and save all my pipe cleanings and dregs, roaches, and resin in a frappuccino bottle. When the dregs bottle gets full, I pour it into a quart fruit jar, which I fill 3/4 full with the black alcohol from my pipe cleaning vat.

After shaking the nasty mess every time I think about it for a day or so, I strain it through a fine mesh metal strainer and a couple restaurant sized coffee filters.

To this mix I add water and equal parts hexane and shake well again, before decanting into a separatory funnel and letting settle.

You can use a gallon zip lock bag , to save having to clean your separatory funnel. Just hang it by one corner and clip off the bottom corner and pinch it to control the draining.

The hexane will steal the cannabinoids from the alcohol, and it will rise to the top, leaving the evil spirits in the alcohol and water.

I decant off the water and alcohol, and then filter the hexane solution at .45 microns to remove the finely divided carbon particles that passed through the original filter and which have absorbed evil spirits and taste.

I evaporate off the hexane using hot water and a fan, leaving a slightly darker oil than the original honey oil would have been. See attached pictures:

The resulting oil provides strong pain relief and sedation, but is lower in the lower boiling point euphoric constituets like THC. It also tastes roasted.
