You are very correct, an open mind never hurts, sounds like you need to heed your own advice. If I wanted to make hot butter bahng, i would have, i am perfectly capable of googling someone elses recipes. Have you tried the water extraction method? have you tried this recipe? Ive triedthe way your talking about dozens of times, I am fuly aware of how to extract THC, did you even think of considering it at all?
I read this somewhere once
