it was definitely an alcohol extraction… the flavor and red hue was due to predominantly old school sativa land race strains being used… there of course were different versions and qualtites depending on who made it from where and with what

That’s incorrect,
Yes it’s an alcohol extraction but strains dont create red hue
Maybe those land races were all dried poorly…

strains can definitely create a red hue… ive worked with a few sativa strains that came out straight red. do you have any alternative reasoning the color could be red?.. and i know its not just decarboxylation or oxidization… ive seen many old school honey oils, some red, some brown, some golden, some black just like old school hash.

back in the late 1970’s there was a device called a
iso 2 machine. it would use iso or acetone. a deep
pan heated with a 100 watt light bulb in it’s base.
inside was a basket to hold your pot in. on top of that
was a cooling tower. heat would evap then cooling tower
would cool and drip thru your pot into pan. then you
took that basket out and put in a cup to reclaim your
solvent. like a fancy coffee pot of sorts. then you collected
oil from pan. then someone thought what if i do hash
in here. then vola you had hash oil of many colors.
i still got a iso2 machine lol not used it in forever.
anyway that is how most the hash oil was made back then.

gross
why would any body EVER search for that poup soup
you know it s scents tastes and specific moments that can trigger your brain so you remember decades later as a great experience
And once you relive the scent and smell you realize that on their own they are crap

The reddish Honey oil in the 70’s was almost certainly made from Afghan hash, and provided through the BEL.
" …we have estimated on the basis of hard intelligence that
approximately 24 tons of hashish Avas smiiofjrled into this country.
Although most of this drug came from their dealings withm Af-
trhanistan. we also know that shipments were brought m from both
Lebanon and India.
Mr. SouRwiXE. Do vou mean that statement to be exclusive, that
is, that the only places it came from were Afghanistan, Lebanon and
others or were there other minor sources ? i • i i
;Mr. Bartels. There may have been other sources of which we have
no knowledge.
Mr. SouRWiNE. Thank vou.
Mr. Bartels. Moreover, the brotherhood was not content merely
to smuggle and market hashish. Under the guidance of one of its chief
chemists, the brotherhood developed the manufacture of an even more
potent product called marihuana or hashish oil. In the course of our
investigation, six such hashish oil laboratories were seized.
Mr. Sourwixe. Is that the same commodity that is sometimes re-
ferred to on the street as pot oil ?
Mr. Bartels. Yes. sir.
The marihuana product resulting from their operation m some
cases may have achieved a THC content of up to 90 percent.
Mr. SouRwixE. "Was that
Mr. Bartels. Tetrahydrocannabinol. That is the percent of the
active product within marihuana which gives the— —
Mr. SouRWixE. That is the hallucinitory drug is it not ?
Mr. Bartels. That is right, and in normal marihuana it would run
2 to 3 to 5 percent. . . ,
Mr. Soi-RwixE. Ninety percent purity is extremely high, is it not (
Mr. Bartels. That is right.
Mr. SouRwixE. As an oil, vou cannot get it much higher, can you i
Mr. Bartels. I do not believe so. We have never seen it any higher.
A typical laboratorv such as that seized at Escanaba. Mich., could
produce approximatelV 21/2 quarts of hashish oil per day. Normally,
a single drop placed within a regular cigarette would constitute one
dose, and approximately 15,000 doses could be derived in this way
from 1 quart. • -r. 1 ■, nnn
Marihuana— or hashish— oil was first encountered in February 1972.
Since then the number of exhibits received has increased and so has
the potencv as measured bv the i>ercentage of tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC) present. During fiscal year 1973, 49.3 pounds of the drug were
seized with an average THC content of 46 percent. This is a highly
potent and concentrated hallucinogenic substance which can be manu-
factured with relatively simple equipment. "
"Mr. SouRwixE. "Was it the brotherhood which invented or first de-
veloped hashish oil ?
Mr. Bartels. Yes, I think that is right. It was Sand, was it not ?
Mr, Sixclair. No. Another brotherhood member. "

Mr. SouRWiNE. Is any other organization producing it now that yo"
know of ?
Mr. SixcLAiR. There must be. yes.
Mr. SouRWiNE. In other words, you do not know who but you know
there is production other than the brotherhood production.
"Mr. Sinclair. That is correct.
Mr. SouRwiNE. You raised the question of who in the brotherhood
was responsible for the development of hashish oil. Do you want to
put that name in the record ?
Mr. Sinclair. According to our best intelligence sources it is Ronald
Hadley Stark."
…
"On December 15, 1971, brotherhood member Donald Alexander
Hambarian was arrested in Lagima Beach, Calif., while operating a
hashish oil laboratory. This hashish oil was to be the first encountered
in the United States. "
…
“In November 1972, a DEA special agent of the BEL Task Force
traveled with an IRS agent to Brussels, Belgium, to investigate a lab-
oratory relative to Ronald Hadley Stark. As a result of the investiga-
tion and subsequent followup, Stark was indicted by a Federal grand
jury in April 1973. (Stark is a chemist from New York who in 1964
was worth approximately $1,400 and who in 1968 was reportedly worth
approximately $1,200,000. Stark is a close associate of Nicholas Sand,
and according to some reports, was the first person to ever produce
hashish oil from solid hashish.)”
…
A total of six hashish oil laboratories were seized, along with over
30 gallons of hashish oil and approximately 6,000 pounds of solid
hashish.
Mr. SouRwiNE. Now, those hashish oil laboratories were m this
country.
Mr. Sinclair. Some were.
Mr. SouRwiNE. Some were not.
Mr. Sinclair. That is correct.
Mr. SouRwiNE. Would you differentiate that for the record when
you correct it ?
Mr. Sinclair. Yes, sir ; I will.
[The information requested follows :]
Of these six laboratories, four were being operated within the United States,
three of which were in California and one in Hawaii. Two others were being
operated within foreign countries ; one in Costa Rica, and one in Afghanistan.

If it was sun dried/sat outside in the sun to evaporate then discoloration could’ve been due to isomerization and oxidation…

Sounds like a modified soxlet of sorts
Modern day version is the source turbo
Or if you google ‘honey oil distillation tower 1970’
Is it the red thing that looks like a hookah?
My wires are crossed and I cant do no link no good duh
Edit, forgot, oil in the search
yeah it’s that there’s a used one for 2,500usd Machine Age Original Thai Power ISO2 Isomerizer, Essential Oil Extractor, 1975 at 1stDibs | iso 2 machine, iso2 machine, iso2 isomerizer for sale

Holy shit man. I was looking at old ones a while ago and was like shit, I can totally imagine a world where I invented that
Actually, the modern day version is the ISO-3 and the ISO-4. It is a modified low temperature soxhlet. Quite different than the Source Turbo. The ISO’s make a great full extract cannabis oil but it’s very time consuming.

Oh shit. They make new ones!!! Lmfo.
I was just comparing how the functionality seems similar between the two and how today’s version of “Honey Oil” is “filtered dabs” and how modern technology has made a closed loop alcohol extraction machine. as I write this without having looking up those two new models

Can you please give me a listing of either model
