Lab_Rat is beginning to sprout.
A few more things.

Notes on the extraction:

1 drop of sulfuric acid per 50ml of alcohol.

Reflux for two hours before adding the acid. Be sure to neutralize the sulfuric acid, as well as add the water before adding the ether, otherwise the ether will bond with the alcohol. When in doubt more water will not hurt. I also let my isomerized extract sit for a few days being shaken daily to increase yield.

Proper lab glassware would make this procedure very easy, but can be performed by a kitchen chemist quite well.



I found a better extraction plan in an old thread ( I should have searched before I posted) http://www.hempcultivation.com/420/s...=isomerization

I would still like to hear if anybody else has tried this method.
