I thought this post was deleted. I came back last night and I couldn't find it, what a surprise to have 2 pages by this morning. :lol:
Thanks for all the replays that were on topic.

When you extract, you want to target molecule(THC) to dissolve into the solvent (the water). All you are doing is boiling, then drying the leaf. So at best you are denaturing the active molecule with the heat and then dehydrating(removing water) the leaf. So you have accomplished nothing.
The idea was that the thc comes out in oil form, therefor doesn't mix with the water...like you said. Then when you dehyderate you basically have resin on the bottom of the pan. It would work much like Banaba peels. (except banana peels don't do shit..........)

One may extract the active ingredients from marijuana using alcohol and then use this tincture to make a potent drink. The highest proof alcohol available should be used, preferably 190 proof grain alcohol, since the water in the alcohol will dissolve other chemicals in the marijuana that one wishes to avoid. Some suggest soaking the grass in warm water for a period to remove those chemicals but that presents a whole host of other and is not really recommended. One may simply place the marijuana into a bottle of grain alcohol and let the canabanoids leach out, but this takes 2-3 weeks of time. A faster method is to heat the alcohol to sub-boiling and stir in the marijuana. Great deal of care should be taken if this method is chosen as the alcohol is highly flammable. The resulting tincture, often called "Green Dragon", is a light to emerald green liquid, which can be drunk straight, but this is not recommended. Highly lauded is a drink of 3 parts lemon lime soda, 1 part green dragon and a dollop of honey served over ice.
If I were to use this alcohol method, then cooked the alcohol so it wasn't alcoholic anymore, and then dehyderated it....would that work?

the reason it takes so long to kick in is that thc is hard to digest, thus we include a "digestive enzyme"
usually the simplest answer is lecithin granules, they're pretty nasty to the taste but are very effective in speeding up the process.
EXACTLY what I was thinking. Hand out one pill of green, and another pill of a digestive enzyme of some sort.

Seems like alot of trouble to try and make a weed pill and whats the point??
You can make hash cakes or even better skunk cakes and munch them when you feel the need,your parents never need know.
In the UK from time to time i have come accross cannabis oil,now that is mad shit...making pills with that would be ideal
It will be a lot of work, but in the end I think it is still worth it...we'll see. I'm not making them for myself, I'm making them for my friends, and I doubt they would ever get the energy to cook.

oo oo. i got an idea! stop supporting terrorism
And now for the off topic post. Lets say that all the weed in america was grown by terrorists. Even so, somebody bought a $1000 of weed from them, and using that, grew more, that got spread and more people bought it, and more people grew it until it was being grown all across america. Within a year people spend over $100,000,000 on that pot. SO WHAT, out of that $1,000,000,000 the terrorists get a measly $1000. The damage has already been done. That's not to mention, that most of america's pot comes from mexico, and other southern countries.
If you are going to believe this 'pot funds terrorism' campaign, then you have to believe that oil funds it. If we buy pot from terrorists, some of that will be reproduced and spread over until we have no use in buying more, where we can only use oil once. And look at where we buy it from, the middle east, where do the terrorists live, the middle east. What goverments fund the terrorist, the middle eastern governments, where do the middle eastern goverments get there money, OIL. What gets more money spent on it in any given year, pot or oil, OIL. If you are going to believe the pot campaign, how can you not believe the oil campagn.
NO MORE OFF TOPIC DISCUSSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY POST, I GET THE FINAL WORD!!!!!!!!!! START A NEW POST IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE THIS...please ;)
and back on the topic, one final question. Why can't you just swallow bud and get high off of it? If you digest everything, you are still digesting the THC.
EDIT: I just went tho the Erowid site, and they said that it was a myth that you must heat bud before consuming it. That it isn't true. Yesterday, I swallowed a 1-ies worth of pot and I felt like how I feel a couple hours after getting high. Then later, I swallowed 3 times as much, I felt the same thing faster, and much, much longer. So, if I just gave people an digestive enzyme, and a capsule of regular pot, would that work to some extent?
