Helped a friend. Used his equipment.

This is the first time I'm doing it for myself, alone, with my own tools.
Plus, it's fun to document. :D

R:
I still think pentane or hexane is far safer.  For that matter a xylene x-traction would even help reduce plant lipids, waxes and sterols.  The only caveat is you should finish with a vacuum evaporation to completely remove solvents with higher alkanes.  Butane is hard to handle and dangerous; yes, I know it is widely available. 
 
CO2 supercritical fluid extraction would be ideal, but you would need a few grand to invest.

Cant get any of these.

Butane, unfortunately, is convenient.
I would prefer oxygen, honestly.

R:
Just be safe, do it outside, protect your workspace from static electricity, have a safety/escape plan and think all the time it could blow up in your face.
 
I don't want to have to attend your damn funeral Bro.  I don't go to relative's funerals.
