And yet....AND YET....they (except for Marc) all talk about how WE should "give it away free" because "God gave it to us." God gave us tomatoes too but I still have to buy those unless I grow them for myself!
They don't exactly practice what they preach. LOL

Birmingham Compassion What do you think about acetone as a solvent?

Rick Simpson We have not tried it but we think it might work. I would test it on an ounce or so. I would use 99%isopropyl or naphtha. JB

The unfortunate thing about naptha is the fact that it isn't usually just naptha. Most sources typically contain other chemicals as well, sometimes including but not limited to the cancer-causing agent 1,3,5-Cyclohexatriene (aka benzene). So if you are trying to purge "naptha" out of your oil, you first have to find the MSDS for that exact brand/version of naptha to figure out exactly what other chemicals are also in that container ...and hope they told the truth! (I think we all know that MSDS sheets are not always that transparent). Then you have to figure out what it takes to remove all those other chemicals as well, and go through those procedures.
Now what percentage of the people following Rick Simpson's recipe go through all that before ingesting the oil? I would bet "not very many".

Oh, MediuseA, really???? That's not good. I think a byproduct of acetone is formaldehyde when it's heated.
LAD we need to remember that medi is one of the peeps we speak of like me...he lives in an EXTREMELY remote area on a VERY limited income and he has to use whats available to him or not do it at all....i'm faced with similar but not so extreme...we'd ALL prefer to be doing it "safely" but for many of us its simply not possible....so we do what we can and be as careful as we can while doing it!!

A couple of thoughts. A simple pot still like that will typically only put out around 120 proof the first cut. A compound refluxing still is relatively easy to build, and will give you azeotropic 95.6% 190 proof.
I recommend reading Designing and Building Automatic Stills, by Riku, and The Compleat Distiller, by Nixon and McCaw.

Graywolf, since I'm not familiar with stills like this, what would happen if you started with Everclear (grain alcohol) and used that as the solvent in this table top model? Being able to reclaim it and use it again would be great. But (and it might be a stupid question showing my ignorance) is the reclaimed solvent the same after it's gone through it once? And how many times can that same grain alcohol solvent be used? Obviously, if this idea was "as good" or better than my method of simply soaking the decarbed plant matter in the grain alcohol and then cooking it off and down into a "tar," I'd be open to trying it. Many thanks.
LAD
The table top model will recover 190 proof just fine, but as it is reused and picks up more water, it becomes more dilute. It takes refluxing or a vacuum to maintain the high concentration.
Because I still lose the alcohol that soaks into the material (~1/3?), I've never had recycled alcohol last enough times to notice the water pickup.
