    Factually correct - in many countries steam distillation is illegal because you can also steam distill tasty things that make you feel good.

      what are you talking about, because moonshine manufacture is not steam distillation and you can’t exactly distill off anything psychoactive this way. this is only really useful for fragrances and please don’t use this bs in modern lab this is 100+ years old technique, it’s an unbelievable mess, vaccum pumps and column chromatography exist please and thank you

        It’s almost the same thing, but if you use a thump keg it is the same thing. It was intended as a joke more than anything.
