Hmmmm... Would this work?

Well, I was cleaning out the glass bit on my vaporizer with some 99% isopropyl alcohol and I started thinking whether or not it would be possible to drain out the alcohol with little bits of residue from the heating of the plant material and allow the alcohol to evaporate out leaving me with something smokeable... By no means do I particularily WANT to do this, and I'm not desperate for bud at the moment, but if this was doable it would be a nice alternative when supplies run short

So what, would merely allowing the alcohol to evaporate be enough?

the thing is "resin" is just basically tar and is very unhealthy to smoke.
but there IS THC in it.....
I'm not sure how exactly but if you cleaned your piece with 99% iso alcohol, let the solution sit a bit.... then strained out the solid matter and let the alcohol evaporate you may be left with just thc/hash... but you don't want to have the "resin" itself all the residue from your piece to smoke.
you want to extract the thc out of that stuff, discard the solid waste material and keep the alcohol/thc infusion and then let the alcohol evaporate completely.

yup, once me and a buddy were cleaning a few pieces and the resin balls we cleaned out, we would light it with a lighter and then let the flame burn the alcohol out. Not sure if it completely got rid of the alcohol, but worked to some extent cause we got high...I dunno we were in high school then. lol

Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era - -the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant." Hunter S. Thompson.
