Need Everclear/Moonshine for gummies

Hola folks. Where I live Everclear or any alcohol that is above 40% is prohibited. Weed is legal, but shine ain't. Any body here know how to turn a bottle of Vodka or something into 190% alcohol? Like a simple still or hack to get high alcohol out of regular bottle of booze to make hash oil for gummies? I live a mile from the sun so I am thinking something like a black container in the sun and some piping going through a cooler with ice to catch the highest alcohol dripping out. I don't want to get a still and all of that mess, just something to milk out a couple of cups of the high alcohol from a bottle of booze.
Anybody ever done this before?
Thanks!
 
Best, easiest bet would be to order alcohol online. I'm in California. We're in the same high proof boat. Since you asked, this is where I have gone. Stick with the 190. You just have to prove you're not some punk-ass kid just looking to get likker'd up.

You're not some punk-ass kid just looking to get likker'd up, are you?​
 
Sorry. Ethanol. Get ethanol, not alcohol. Apparently, ethanol is legal to buy and ship to California, but alcohol is not.
Yes. I know.
 
I get what you are trying to accomplish, take it from a former lab rat, a reality check is if you want to make 95% ethanol or close to it, out of vodka you need a reflux still. It can easily be done with a lab reflux still if you know what you are doing. A solar still won't get you what you want. If you want help with setting up a still let me know. When you say above 40% is prohibited, do you mean that is the max percent that can be sold, or mere possession​ of something more concentrated is prohibited? 95% can be had from online sources. usalab.com is one. Not vouching for them, I just like to browse through their equipment catalog. There are others. Don't pay more for 100% ethanol. As soon as you open the bottle the ethanol will suck water out of the air and dilute itself to 95%. Chemistry and all...
 
Sorry, should have clarified. I don't live in the US anymore. Retired to some place warm with really good tacos (hint) It cannot be shipped nor purchased here, but can be in possession. I have been told that my great grandpa was damn good at making shine back in prohibition. Wish I found his cookbook.;)

Ah! Not too long ago we could skip down to Tijuana and pick up a product called 'Cane Verde'. 190 proof.
As far as I know, it is the only thing you cannot buy in Tijuana.
 
I should have read between the lines, I lived in Mexico for 9 years. What is the alcohol % of Pulque?
Actually you dont need alcohol to extract kief, I use dry ice its easier and less mess and dry ice never burned a house down as far as I know
 
Cane Verde. That's what I'm gonna look for. I know they make some flammable Mescal too, but I have searched high and low. I will just keep looking around. I like my eyebrows so I don't think I'm attempt distilling.
 
Outlawed, yes. Still around, I am sure of that. Uncle Jesse even kept a jar around the house hidden from Bo and Luke. If I could find some 190 proof Tequila/Mescal, I am thinking Margarita gummies. That would be interesting.
 
If you make tequila or mezcal gummies, I'll give you a thumb.
I don't drink and never did like those two, but I just might have to try one.
 
Why don't you make RSO/hash oil first, using 99% isopropyl alcohol? Can use light naptha, too, per Rick Simpson's own comments. Add the hash oil to your gummie receipe and bypass the high proof ethanol.
