Danger of Alcohol Tinctures?

So do these toxins live in the alcohol?  If I boil away the alcohol do the toxins evaporate out of the mixture?

 

I recently shared a post on just this topic, which came up in this thread: "Ingesting Rick Simpson's Hemp Oil"

 Hope this helps, good luck!!!

@[member="Bad"] kitty. I love looking at all your creations. Wish I was more of a chef.....

 

Pretty awesome, but I'm generally confused about all this stuff lately.  Got some good medical snowy trim on the way so I gutta figure it out.  Cheers.

 

 
 
Here, let us do -everything- for you! I'm assuming your computer doesn't have access to google? If you are so impatient that you can't even be polite while you're asking people to go out of their way, and do something for you that you could easily do yourself, maybe researching it for yourself in the first place would have been the more appropriate tactic. If you're asking for people to help, and to do it for you, there are MUCH better ways to do so, than how you're choosing to go about it.
 
 
I know using google and little light reading may be challenging for some, but when someone serves you the answer you've asked for on a silver platter, along with additional information that can help you towards your goal... well let's put it this way, you'll get more flies with honey, than you will with snarky vinegar! Something you'll learn one day, when you decide you'd like to save yourself some time and aggravation.
 
 
 
Right from the post above, that you simply chose not to read... as long as the post is, glancing over it would have been a bit quicker, than posting a passive-aggressive request for the same information:
 
 
"(*** 09/12/2013  - This is the portion we're discussing today; glycerin is capable of extracting and holding some salts, meaning the plant matter should be treated or washed prior, or ideally outright discarded if considered potentially unsafe.)
 
 
 If you are particularly concerned about chemical contamination in your flowers/herb....
 
 
 Gentle water-washing (as in a motionless, very still, three-day soak in *cold!* distilled water; it is best done inside a refrigerator) can remove some water soluble impurities, then the plant matter may be re-dried and used as normal. The downside is that, while your cannabinoids and a large volume of the terpene content will remain and be safe, their are water soluble alkaloids (with largely unknown medicinal benefits) that can be lost in the process.
 
 Another option is sifting for hash; most salts and chemicals will be left behind in the fibrous tissues of the flower mass, leaves, stems and stalks, while very few of these impurities in comparison are directly transferred to the glandular material during the growth of the plant. By removing the inert plant matter prior to starting, and opting for a sifted hash, you can not entirely, but largely eliminate the extraction and inclusion of those less-than-desired components.
 
 
 A final option is to begin directly with coconut oil, as your 'edible solvent'. Most salts are generally not oil soluble, while the glandular material in cannabis that we're actually after, very much IS soluble in oil.... Which explains why we make canna oil!
 
 
 
 But the best thing you can do is to find a grower who you can trust not to use anything he shouldn't be using, while growing and tending to his ladies! If possible, you should consider starting your own garden ASAP. Even vegging leaf contains the same medicinal components; just in a smaller ratio. You could be making small batches of your own in as little as three to four weeks, just from veg trim. "
 
 
 
 Good luck!

 

GrassBurger I don't see why you feel the need to be so rude!
  BKS had the info you wanted in her first post if you had taken the time to read a little.She is not here selling a thing just trying to help people no matter how rude they are!

 

 
 
 
 *sigh*... really?
 
 
That's the best you could come up with, after nearly an hour of thinking? If this is really the peak of your ability to communicate and comprehend the information you're given, I would certainly not be talking down to others while bragging about my "IQ" if I were you!
 
 
 
 Many pesticides and nutrients that can be pulled from plants with alcohol or water, are generally salt based. Those are the contaminants we're discussing.
 
 
 I'm glad though, that you spent at least some of that time wisely during the last hour, and chose to look at least that much up.
 
 
  Maybe you should have tried applying that "IQ" of yours, when you started this thread? Considering I answered your question, then answered it again, and you simply didn't get it.  I noticed you were in here immediately after I replied... it took you this long to form such an eloquent and well-thought out reply (that's sarcasm by the way... I'm sorry if you were aware, but you did say I needed to be very specific with you!), and you still didn't realize that your attitude wasn't appropriate?
 
That's too bad.
 
 
 If you don't even know what you're asking, and if you can't comprehend the replies you're getting, you desperately need to do some research. It's all right there for you.
 
 
 And make money, by the way? I've politely contributed well over a decade of my time to the online community on a daily basis, not to mention my local communities, without accepting a dime in return, helping people like you for free.
 
 
 Meanwhile, people like you, ask questions for free, and somehow feel entitled to take on an attitude while doing so.
 
 
 Even with your seriously flawed logic.... Who exactly is in the wrong, here? (You! )
 
 
 
Learning how to behave appropriately, and acting like a mature, reasonable adult, will help you in the long run.  Toodles, kiddo! 

 

So smoking the same pesticides is OK?

If your doing a proper flush shouldn't this be a non issue?

 

Handled like a boss . The thread was quite interesting thank you to the one who asked the questions, and BKS thanks for ur insight happy Sunday to all

 

Badkitty, you sure have a way with words. It's an eloquent "fuck you" with a smile. You wouldn't happen to have ever been a receptionist, would you?
