How To Make Red Hash Oil

    If you have some practical chemistry experience you can try making red oil instead of honey oil. Red oil is not as potent as honey oil, but if you use the same amount (and potency) of marijuana to produce both red oil and honey oil, the red oil yield will be larger.

    You will be working with chemicals that will ignite if not used in a properly ventilated lab. Do not attempt this without a proper spark-less exhaust system if you are not working in a lab.

    1) completely dry and grind material to a powder. soak material in petroleum ether for several hours, but less than 24 hours. strain, saving the pet ether/oil mixture... pressing out the material thoroughly to get as much solvent/oil out of the material as possible. filter the solvent/oil mixture through a coffee filter.

    2) extract pet ether/oil mixture w/ an ~ 4% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in alcohol solution three times.

    3) acidify the NaOH/oil mixture w/ HCl (diluted 2:1 or 3:1 with distilled water) to pH 3. filter the acidified mixture through a coffee filter.

    4) extract acidified mixture w/ pet ether three times. evaporate off pet ether to yield red honey oil!

    NOTE: this recipe works well w/ small quantities of material.

    when dealing w/ large material quantities, replace 1) w/ ->
    - dry, grind and soak material in 91% (or higher) isopropyl alcohol for three days.
    - strain and filter, saving alcohol/oil mixture.
    - evaporate off alcohol down to ~ 250 - 300 ml of alcohol/oil mixture.
    - extract alcohol/oil mixture w/ pet ether three times.

    * extract = placing two solutions in a separatory funnel, mixing thoroughly, and allowing the two phases to separate...
    --- given pet ether & alcohol >> (pet ether on top) (alcohol on bottom)
    --- given pet ether & NaOH soln >> (pet ether on top) (NaOH soln on bottom). same for pet ether and acidified NaOH solution.

    * to make the NaOH solution - mix 40 mg of pure NaOH pellets into 500 ml of distilled water until dissolved thoroughly. then add 500 ml of absolute grain alcohol (everclear), yielding ~ 1 liter of the sodium hydroxide solution.

    * white gas can be substituted for pet ether (verified) muriatic acid (swimming pools) can be substituted for HCl (verified) lye can be substituted for NaOH (verified).
