        This is recommended to anyone who wants to smuggle or otherwise
conceal grass or hash.  One hundred kilos of grass will convert to about
two or three kilos of resin, which can later be redissolved and absorbed on
alfalfa, etc.
        Cover grass or hash with methanol, benzene, petroleum ether, or
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.  Allow to soak for about twelve hours, filter
and repeat soaking with fresh solvent.  This process can be speeded up by
gently heating the solvent plus grass (no flames) for about three hours,
adding more solvent if necessary.  Evaporate the combined solvent extracts
until a resin is obtained or until syrupy and absorb the syrup on grass,
etc.  Repeat the process until no more resin is obtained, or until smoking
some of the residual grass indicates that all the THC has been extracted.
Mthylene chloride works very well.  Unleaded gas, preferably without
additives (white gas), paint thinner or remover, or turpentine should be
satisfactory.
