I cannot say thanks enuff for this sweet little suggestion!

I have skin cancer and already had MOHS surgery along with cosmetic surgery to remove a spot above my left eye on the eye brow.
Also had an area on my upper chest above my right breast.
Both surgeries were with pain and long, involved recovery.

The chest was rude.
The internal AND external sutures tore open and thus had a 3 by 5 inch and -2 inch deep open gaff.
Try doing a flush and irrigate of the surgery and packing gauze into a gapping hole seeing all the layers of tissue and muscle all the way to the cartilage and ribs!
And first thing in the morning before that first cup of coffee!
(I had a strong first cup prior to going into the ER.)

I've since had more spots show now and the idea of removal and skin drafts isn't fun.
I'd read up on the doc in Canada who grows cannabis and made the oil to give to cancer patients and others in need.
With amazing and documented results!
Cancer gone in a matter of weeks!!!

~SIGH~

I'm here in New Mexico and no way known to get the THC oil from anyone.
Sooooo....I used the build-up in my small water pipe with crappy tar and all to apply to a few places on my face...nose in particular.
Two weeks later....gone!
But alas I didn't have much cannabis and ran out too soon and the cancer came back on location.
I know full well using the tar laden dirty crap from a pipe is not healthy and wise but what did I really have to risk?
Not much.

Getting high grade or even decent cannabis here sucks.
Spotty at best and I'm too old for the 20 somethings to hang with to know others to buy from yadda yadda.
Poor too!

I read about this suggestion of a pen and butane and not going thru the high cost of other methods.

THANK YOU!

I took a used up clear plastic Pentel RSVP (cheap) pen which turned out to be the perfect set-up.
A small wooden dowel for a plunger/packer an a 1/4'' cut-off of a pipe screen.
Easily remove the ink tube and writing tip as the end cap unscrews.

First, I made the small hole for the butane nipple in the end cap with a large paper clip and the fit is better than a $100 lighter.

I took a quarter cut of pipe screen and pressed it over the flat end of the dowel and pushed the screen down to the rubber finger pad area of the now empty pen.
There, there is a choke that required me to use a straight piece of a wire coat hanger to shove the screen a bit further down towards the tip of the pen.
Done.
I then took what was about 2, maybe 3 grams of $50.00/ounce cannabis and packed firmly as I loaded it all in at around an inch or so each time until packed as packed can be up to within an inch of the end cap where it screws onto the end.
I had my reservations about the spray and what would splatter where and all but not to worry.
I took a 1/3 cup stainless steel measuring cup with handle to use as a bowl/dish to catch the sprayed and dripping results of the THC ''honey'' and subfreezing liquid butane.
No over spray and not even a dab went anywhere near the top of the small 1/3 cup measuring cup.
A hand towel held the pen and Ronson butane bottle as I pressed and shot the butane into the packed pen.

Sure enuff.....the butane rushed thru the tightly packed cannabis with ease and out dripped a golden honey color mixed with the butane.
After several seconds the sprayed drops were clear and that meant done.

I dipped the bottom of the measuring cup slightly into a bowl of tap water and the boil was fierce as the butane was evaporated away easily.
The entire bottom of the cup was coated in the THC ''honey''....!!!!!

At first was sticky and difficult to work with but left to sit a spell and it sets up nicely to what tack you may want.
A simple flick of a Bic on the bottom of the stainless steel cup and the honey thins out nicely as desired.
I ran the tip of a finger in it and applied the honey to my cancer spots and it was just perfect in how it was absorbed.

Why....I even smelled quite nice too!
A sweet mj flowery kind of smell that's far nicer than the tarred and crappy dirty stuff from the pipe.

After I was done and rather pleased with myself.......I took a small pinch of bud and rolled it in the ''honey'' off to the side of the clean and saved ''honey.
Got a high grade buzz from $50/OZ swag when I took some of the tacky bud with honey and put atop a pinch of dry bud in the bowl.

Now I got kief to kick up the smoke with AND now some nearly pure THC honey to smoke and use on my skin cancer.

I think this application will cost me maybe $10.00/week for atleast a WEEK'S worth of THC concentrate.
Plus I get to boost the high of low grade cannabis without the sky high cost of the luscious high grades.
Hopefully using this low grade then concentrate THC will give me the same remarkable results as the high grade tar pipe and bowl crap did.
Should...but can only know when the proof is on my face.

OH....I used a piece of coat hanger to easily turn 'n poke and dump out the used up cannabis from the barrel of the pen and all cleaned up easy and completely.
Much of it came out in pressed plugs, the rest followed and it all was as dry as a bone unlike still fresh soft as it was when it went in.

If you only knew just how thankful and grateful I am to have read this idea.

I can now apply the THC concentrate on my cancer and even get a sweet and strong buzz as I do.

The best part is I can now have enuff cheap cannabis to keep me in the THC honey and be consistent in applying it for the four to six weeks needed to remove the cancer spots.

Now I can focus on starting my first grow sometime sooner than not and indeed am going to buy some sativa seeds here while the $20.00 sale is going on.

I want some really really heady high sativa like what...purple cough or haze...or white widow or...??

Thanks ever so much for the butane method suggestions.

You've helped an old Vet with his cancer by sharing such tricks and now I have hope beyond evasive surgery on my face where the need for skin drafts and reconstructive surgery is always required at great cost in all ways.

Wanted to rep ya but guess I'm still on probation?:wtf:

One day I long ago when I still lived with the parents, I wanted to get high but I didn't want to go anywhere to smoke, and I had been reading up on hash oil so I decided to give it a shot.

I decided to go with the honey oil technique where you use butane as the solvent. Butane > alcohol cause all of it evaporates off at room temperature very quickly. To only extract THC and no chlorophyll or other plant matter using alcohol you have to keep the alcohol cold which slows down the extraction process immensely. You can heat the alcohol and make it go faster, but sacrifice quality. Since butane is very cold when its liquid, it works perfectly without extracting the extra junk. I'm not sure why this works, but I read a very long article about the cold extraction technique I'll see if I can find it later.

Anyways, the plans for shit on the internet called for 1.5 ounces of weed and some pvc pipe to make an extractor, neither of which I had at the time, and I still didn't feel like leaving. Then I looked at the ink pen I was twirling in my fingers and a light bulb went off. I ended up making a miniaturized version of the extractor using a pen and a pipe screen. It only holds like a small blunt's worth of weed but it makes more than enough hash oil to get you high a few times over. Perfect for not wasting tons of weed to make it :dance:


Materials:
1.) Clear plastic pen with a metal screw on tip and solid end cap. (http://www.officemax.com/max/solutio...OID=-536907928)
2.) Metal pipe screen or coffee filter.
3.) Can of butane for refilling lighters. Make sure you get a decent brand so it doesn't have a lot of impurities in it.
4.) About 6" square piece of foil.
5.) Nail or something small and sharp
6.) Small towell or work gloves;



**DO THIS IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA AND DO NOT SMOKE BUTANE IS VERY FLAMMABLE**

Procedure:
1.) Take the ink cartridge out of the pen. Cut a small pipe screen into quarters and put one of the quarters inside the metal screw tip. Use the ink cartridge to push it in. Make sure it covers the hole.

2.) Heat up the nail and burn a small hole in the end cap of the pen (opposite from the writing end). While the hole is still hot, stick the tip of the butane refill can into the hole to form the hole to the size of the refill tip. You want it to seal pretty good, so don't make it too big.

3.)Pull the end cap out of the pen and put the metal tip back on. Grind up the weed as pretty fine, but not powdery, and stuff it into the pen from where you removed the plastic cap. Use the ink cartridge to pack it down. You should pack it tighter than you would think. Make sure you pack every half inch or so, don't wait untill you got it all in or you won't be able to pack it uniformly. It is important to fill it as full as you possibly can. Any gap will give the weed room to blow around inside the pen once you start extracting it. Make sure you pack it where the weed will be touching the end cap once you put it back on.

4.)Take your piece of foil and use a coke can or something as a mold and make a foil bowl or cylinder. This is what you will collect the butane in, so make sure it won't leak. Hold the pen with a towel or some work gloves to keep from getting the cold butane on your hand. Hold the metal tip of the pen over the foil bowl and insert the refill tip into the end. Press it and hold it, like you were refilling the pen like its a lighter. Ideally, if you packed the weed tight enough, it should take a couple seconds for the first few drips of yellow ass butane to come out the tip. If the butane just blows right through, you didn't pack it tight enough and it won't extract it properly. It has to be submerged in butane, not butane just passing past it. Keep running butane through untill it is coming out the pen clear.

To speed up the evaporating process, you can simply set the foil bowl in a bigger bowl full of room temperature water. Room temperature water is more than hot enough to make the butane boil off pretty vigorously. Once the butane is all gone, you should have some sticky yellow goo and probably some condensation on the foil. The best way to smoke it is to rub another bud in the yellow sticky stuff and smoke it in a pipe. You can smoke it straight off the foil, but that makes me feel like a crack head, although you do get a straight one-hitter quitter high from the hit you get.

The very very best way to smoke it is using one of those glass pipes that tweakers use for smoking dope. The metal tip of the pen fits right in that little hole on the side of that ball at the end of the pipe, and you squirt the butane right into the pipe. Then you let it evaporate off as always, and use a lighter to heat it up til all the hash oil pools up in the bottom of the bulb. Then you just light it and vaporize the hash oil and hit it. You can get several uses off one extraction :thumbsup:

I'll post pics of how to do this step by step once I get a camera. This shit my friends honestly couldn't believe came from shitty schwag. Definitely a neat trick for turning some shitty weed into a few hits of fire.:thumbsup:

Feel free to ask questions, I understand its hard to graps without seeing it, but once you do it one time it makes perfect sense.
