Thank you for your very KIND correction - well, not correction because you missed my very simple but critical mistake - its carbon DIoxide. Sorry for the confusion folks!
Its called a CO2 Extractor. What it does is strip the THC with CO2 as opposed to the home kitchen method of using Butane for that purpose. The result is indeed a cleaner "healthier" product that doesn't taste like gasoline. In fact, I just read that Colorado is instituting some regulation on hash oil sold at dispensaries (with legalization comes regulation y'know) - something to the effect that ONLY this type of process will be allowed to be sold. Since the machine cost is pretty huge that is going to annoy some producers but in the end a better quality product will ensue.
For the record I've never known anyone to get sick or die from Butane treated hash oil. I have known of many fires started in kitchens using this process. It really depends on your personal preference. The hub really likes the oil produced by CO2 Extraction. The god-kid and his friends "dab" with it.
Geez & Peas, pot smoking has changed a lot since I used to do it - we bought Mexican rag-weed from a "door" in Far Rockaway and hot-boxed cars parked on lanes in front of our high school before 1st period....
