BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates generally to the field apparatuses used for the safe dispensation of compressed liquid/gas butane from a compressed liquid/gas butane can for use in mixing this liquid/gas with parts of a marijuana plant within a glass tube of the apparatus to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and disposing it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Previous attempts to dispense compressed liquid/gas butane from a compressed liquid/gas butane can for use in mixing with parts of a marijuana plant within a glass tube of the apparatus to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant would include holding the liquid/gas butane can in one&#39;s hand, pressing the top of the can and it&#39;s dispenser nozzle against a portion of a glass tube of the previously known butane gas can dispenser apparatus and holding the can in place while the liquid/gas butane is removed therefrom. The danger with this previous apparatus and method is that the user must remain adjacent the apparatus and hold the liquid/gas butane can in place while it is dispensing the liquid/gas butane therefrom, and as such have to breath in escaped and residual liquid/gas butane. Therefore, it became evident that an improved method and apparatus was necessary to avoid breathing in this toxic substance. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known liquid/gas can dispensation art, the present invention provides a novel butane dispensing apparatus that includes a platform having a support column and trigger mechanism adapted to hold and press a butane liquid/gas can against a glass tube for mixing the butane liquid/gas contents with parts of a marijuana plant within the glass tube to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and dispose it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a novel butane dispensing apparatus that includes a platform having a support column and trigger mechanism adapted to hold and press a butane liquid/gas can against a glass tube for mixing the butane liquid/gas contents with parts of a marijuana plant within the glass tube to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and dispose it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing. 
     Referring now to the drawings  FIGS. 1-4 , the improved compressed liquid/gas can dispenser apparatus  100  comprises a platform  120  including a panel member  122  having a center aperture  124  therethrough, at least three leg members  126  attached to said panel member and extending therefrom and adapted to hold said panel member in a substantially horizontal position with respect to a supporting surface; an elongated support column  130  including at least two attachment members  140  spaced apart and each connected between a distal end and a proximal end thereof, wherein said support column is rigidly attached at said distal end to said panel member of said platform adjacent said center aperture, and extends substantially vertically therefrom; a trigger member  150  including a handle portion  152 , a plunger portion  154  adjustably connected to said handle portion, and a locking member  156  adapted to hold said plunger portion in a chosen position, wherein said trigger member is rigidly connected to said proximal end of said support column; an elongated cylindrical tube member  160  including a proximal end  162 , wherein said proximal end includes a nozzle receiver portion  164  adapted to allow a nozzle of a compressed liquid/gas can dispenser to be pressed there against and permit liquid/gas from within said compressed liquid/gas can to exit said liquid/gas can and enter an interior portion of said cylindrical tube member, and a distal end  166 , wherein said cylindrical tube member is releasably attached via one of said at least two attachment members to an end section of said support column adjacent said distal end, and is adapted to contact and fit within said center aperture of said panel member, and wherein said cylindrical tube member is adapted to allow said liquid/gas exited from said compressed liquid/gas can to pass therethrough; and a capture member  170 , wherein said capture member is adapted to be placed below and in proximity to said platform aperture, and wherein said capture member is shaped and adapted to capture said liquid/gas exited from said cylindrical tube member passing therethrough; wherein said improved compressed liquid/gas can dispenser apparatus is adapted such that a compressed liquid/gas can be removably retained via a second one of said at least two attachment members to an end section of said support column adjacent its said proximal end, such that said plunger portion of said trigger member can press against and push said liquid/gas can toward said nozzle receiver portion of said cylindrical tube member until said liquid/gas can begins to discharge said liquid/gas from said compressed liquid/gas can, and said second one of said at least two attachment members and said locking member of said trigger member together function to hold said liquid/gas can in place until all of said liquid/gas has exited said liquid/gas can. 
     The second one of said at least two attachment members  140  and said locking member  156  of said trigger member  150  are adapted and function such that when all of said liquid/gas has exited said liquid/gas can they can be disengaged and said liquid/gas can removed from said apparatus and discarded. 
     The at least two attachment members  140  are formed as flexible straps having hook and loop material  142  on respective ends thereof. Further, the at least two attachment members  140  includes a third attachment member  144  adapted to be attached to a middle section of said support column  130  and releasably hold said proximal end of said cylindrical tube member  160  thereto. The third attachment member  144  can be formed as an adjustable screw bolt pipe clamp. 
     The elongated support column  130  can have a curved cross-section. And, the platform  120  and said elongated support column  130  can be formed from a metallic material. 
     The locking member  156  of said trigger member  150  can be formed as a linear ratchet mechanism  158 . 
     The nozzle receiver portion  164  of said proximal end of said cylindrical tube member  160  includes an entrance aperture  166  through said proximal end and a retaining surface  168  in proximity to said aperture and adapted to engage said nozzle of said compressed liquid/gas can, such that when said compressed liquid/gas can is pressed there against said liquid/gas is forced to exit said compressed liquid/gas can and into said cylindrical tube member; and wherein said distal end of said cylindrical tube member  160  includes an exit aperture  169 . 
     The cylindrical tube member  160  is formed from glass. And the capture member  170  can be formed having a bowl shape. 
     The compressed liquid/gas can  180  includes a cylindrical canister  181 , a compressed liquid/gas retained and compressed within said canister, and a nozzle  182  attached to a top section of said canister and adapted to selectively release said compressed gas/liquid. 
     The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
