The National Geographic special Marijuana Nation has an interesting part. When Lisa Ling was being shown a gallon size bag of weed by an medical marijuana guy he said "this is marijuana flowers in what some poeple could consider a usable form, dried and ground up but here is BUDDAR an PURE cannabis product of STEAM extraction. His buddar looked like butter. Steam Distillation is a well known method of extraction for non water soluable oils.
From wiki:
When a mixture of two practically immiscible liquids is heated while being agitated to expose the surfaces of both the liquids to the vapor phase, each constituent independently exerts its own vapor pressure as a function of temperature as if the other constituent were not present. Consequently, the vapor pressure of the whole system increases. Boiling begins when the sum of the partial pressures of the two immiscible liquids just exceeds the atmospheric pressure (approximately 101 kPa at sea level). In this way, many organic compounds insoluble in water can be purified at a temperature well below the point at which decomposition occurs.
Has anyone have access to both an steam extraction apperatis and enough cannabis to try? If not I will but I won't have enough weed for prob. 6 months.
This Will yeild product the science is too well known to doubt it. The issue is what comes out the other end oil or buddar. Of course oil can be "Buddared up" but this might yeild buddar straight.
