Green Lion?

hmm...I dunno how much any of you know about alchemy, but I was reading this alchemy notebook from the 1500's apparently...anyway I came across something called Black Dragon, but it starts off with the making and extraction of Green Lion...I know it's not talking about marijuana, but it's an interesting cooincidence that it's almost the same process we use to make Green Dragon and also a way of making hash:

FIRST take thirty pounds weight of sericon, or antimony, which will make twenty-one pounds weight of gum, or near thereabouts, if it be well dissolved and the vinegar is very good; and dissolve each pound thereof in a gallon of twice distilled vinegar. When cold again, and, as it standeth in dissolution in a fit glass vessel, stir it about with a clean stick very often every day, the oftener the better; and when it is well molten to the bottom, then filter over the said liquors three several times, which keep close covered, and cast away the fæces, for that is superfluous filth which must be removed and entereth not into the work, but is called Terra damnata.

The making of our Gum, or Green Lion.

Then put all these cold liquors, thus filled, into a fit glass vessel and set it in Balneo Mariæ to evaporate in a temperate heat; which done, our sericon will be coagulated into a green gum called our Green Lion; which gum dry well, yet beware thou burn not his flowers, nor destroy his greenness.

The extraction of our Menstruum or Blood of our Green Lion.

Then take out the said gum and put it into a strong retort of glass, very well luted, and place it in your furnace, and under that, at the first, make sober fire. Then increase your fire by little and little. Let it cool, or assuage the fire by little and little; and when all things are cold close it fast suddenly, that the spirits vanish not away, for this liquor is called our blessed liquor: which liquor keep close stopped in a glass till hereafter.

if only I had 30lbs of marijuana to make hash with hahaha...

If i had 30lbs of marijuana laying around i'd need alot of gum just to keep calm lmao.
