I'll be heading to Colorado in Oct.
Check with other local folks about legality / state issues, but I can give you some " Chemistry 101 " background :
Everclear grain alcoholit is the highest proof pure ethyl alcohol ( ethanol ) from the distilling process.
( ethanol comes off a distillation process at 95% + 5% water by volume, called an azeotropic mixture or 95-5. )
alcohols which "claim" to be 99-100% ( NOT 100 proof ) are denatured, not safe for consumption and usually used for lab solvent / chemical processes.
In the realm of cannabis oil processing, there are concerns about the purity and safety of some of the solvents used for the extraction process. There is some misinformation posted on some of the "pioneer sites" concerning the names, sources and purity of some of the industrial solvents. RSO equates
naptha,
benzene and
hexane as all being the "same" ....... THEY ARE NOT the same and can be potentially carcinogenic themselves .... Ether is likely to blow up amateur chemists, so the search for a "safer" solvent leads to 95-5 which is not without its own risks in handling.
Just as an FYI for folks who think they wanna try "
Breaking Bad ! " at home.
