    I will soon make the miracle cure for many diseases aka. cannabis oil and I have come to the conclusion that petroleum ether is the way to go. I have found a lab grade (AR grade) one. I still have no idea what the prices are, I hope it isn't too expensive. The boiling temperature of Petroleum Ether is very low - 40-60 C (104-140 F) . So after I have mixed PE with the bud and discarded the bud I am left with the golden mixture from which I have to evaporate the PE. The autoignition temperature is very high -    288C (550 F).
     
    What temperature should I use to evaporate the PE?
     
    Given that while evaporating the PE I need to also decarboxylate (activate the THC) the bud what temperature would be ideal? I keep reading in many places that the decarbing temp for bud is around 105C (221F) but if the liquid mixture of PE+bud stays at 105C for 5-6-12 hours (the process is said to be very long) woulnd't I just evaporate all the THC?
     
     
    I know that the THC evaporating(boiling) temp is at 150-200C (302-392F) but if I expose it to lower temps for a looong time it will evaporate, right? Just like water starts boiling at around 100C but it still evaporates at 30C, for example. So what temperature should I maintain during the process of making the Rick Simpson Oil with Petroleum Ether?
