Hi guys, this is my first post. I was reading on the net a few ways to make weed stronger and just wanted some advice. I'll be getting a big stash soon and I'm a bit cautious about wasting bud but most of all the health of my buddies.
Anyway here's what i've read:
1. Place the dope in a container which allows air to enter in a restricted fashion (such as a can with nail holes punched in its lid) and add a bunch of dry ice, and the place the whold shebang in the freezer for a few days.
2. Expose the grass to the high intensity light of a sunlamp for a full day or so.
3. Take the undisirable portions of our stash (stems, seeds, weak weed, worms, etc.) and place them in a covered pot, with enough rubbing alchol to cover everything. Now carefully boil the mixture on an electric stove or lab burner. Do not use gas -- the alchol is too flammable. After 45 minutes of heat, remove the pot and strain the solids out, saving the alcohol.Now, repeat the process with the same residuals, but fresh alchol. When the second boil is over, remove the solids again, combine the two quantities of alcohol and reboil until you have a syrupy mixture. Now, this syrupy mixture will contain much of the THC formerly hidden in the stems and such. One simply takes this syrup the throughly combines it with the grass that one wishes to improve upon.

Ok so anyone tried these before? Mostly I was mostly concerned with using rubbing alcohol...is that stuff ok to smoke? I was guessing that maybe after the boiling process all the bad stuff is removed but I'm no chemist. Also, I wasn't sure if these processes are meant to be done straight away or after it's dried and whatever (as mine will be).
Cheers guys, I'd appreciate anything you could contribute. I also read in a few places about storing it in a damp place to develop mould but I've already decided that I don't want that.

That would kick it up a notch.
