Extraction Soxhlet time!

[BII]

I just ran mine till I was out of indica trim and larf....500ml flask 90% full of 420 extractor alcohol, about 4 oz of T&L, run each fill up till it is fairly light green in the dump tube, refill and go again.....running sativa's now and want to try a batch for daytime as current batch will put me to sleep after about 1.5 hours.....as for delivery method, I use store bought Keebler pecan sandies cookies....2 eye droppers and let it dry over night...instant edibles..

For edibles, don't you need to do a decarb process? Or is the hot alcohol exposure enough to decarb?

Yup...gotta decarb...did mine in oven with a couple cookie sheets, wife wasn't too happy with the smell, but then I don't particularly like the acetone smell when she's doing her nails so.....

I have switched to decarbing in butter (since I'm baking with it anyway). I clarify the butter, add the goo and let it heat between 260-280 °F for 30 min. Doesn't smell nearly as much and everything's nice and dissolved. The smell of nail polish bugs the hell out of me as well. I find it astounding how casually people expose themselves to these highly toxic compounds, and I'm a chemist, I LIKE chemicals.
