Jah was wondering if there are any feasible methods for extracting pure (or close to pure) THC from large amounts of herb. Jah's searched and all he found were extractions to make honey oil or shit like that. Jah wants the purest THC he can get...he doesn't need all those other impurities. Could Jah just do a basic ethanol extraction then use different washes to remove the unwanted junk until he got THC or would he have to use a different path altogether?

That's impossible wothout high-vacuum distillation or column chromatography. But people seem to get relatively pure extracts by using butane as solvent (UTFSE).

butane is the shiznitz!!!! pure amber honey oil in minits.

Try Chloroform as solvent for the extraktion.
After removing the Chloroform u.ll have a oil which contains up to 30-40% THC.
But JAH wouldnt do this because smoking the oil doesnt taste. Bless JAH and smoke weed.
