I tried my first GD last night. I baked/cooked the batch on Thursday. I haven't been that stoned in a very very long time. In fact, I still feel extremely slow right now and it's been over 8 hours since I did it. This way to injest the THC can definitely come in handy one day where smoking just isn't an option.
I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet....
could it possibly be that, for the people who have tried making GD and failed, and continued tweaking their method of making it that, perhaps it's not the concoction that's not working, and instead, is your metabolism?
I know for a fact that eating any marijuana-infused baked good can only get ME to a certain level of stoned, no matter what the potency (i know it sucks). knowing that i only respond one way to eating it, is it possible that for the people who have had little or no luck after many many attempts that it just may not be in their genetics to respond to ingesting a marijuana food product?
next time you make a "bad batch" or if you have some saved up, try it on someone else, someone you know responds well to digesting it, or even someone who has tried GD before.
and it looked like there was still some confusion as to why adding the GD to any alcohol makes it go through your system faster, so let me just clear that up. anatomically, alcohol is #1 priority in your body when consumed. that means that you could have eaten a BigMac meal w/ a shake, some beef jerky, and a box of Reese's Puffs Cereal and (aside from having really bad diarhea) after drinking several beers, your body would stop digesting anything else in your stomach, and work on getting the alcohol OUT of there. it makes sense that if you add a little GD to a beer, it metabolizes quicker, thus giving you the effects sooner.
I can't wait to make this stuff, and hope to have positive results. I'm banking on this stuff breaking my "meh" streak w/ eating the edibles. Better luck to those of you having trouble, I'm sure my first several bad batches will be donated to the kitchen sink anyway :)
I appreciate the knowledge, and tutelage. I would like to give you my experience in half assing your wonderful, but somewhat offensive tasting recipe so others can learn from my experiments and failures, perhaps it was so foul because I first extracted 40% or 50% possibly more? of the potency via., a 1.50 inch thick wall PVC. pipe and highly refined butane....the extraction method is on this site under concentrates and the butane @lucienne.com., I just wanted to see how it turned out. My final dosage was about 45cc, I am fairly well medicated, but it is well within tolerance levels. That much at once is flat brutal and I couldn't find anything to kill the taste. I somewhat followed the recipe x 8. 1 oz. of good medicine and only 12 oz. of clear springs 190proof grain alcohol, I was a little nervous cooking more than that on the gas stove. Still got a hard rolling boil at 168, so I backed of to 166 at 35 min. and I only extracted once.....I broke the garlic press......I ended up with about 430 ml. of depleted and probably overcooked liquid. I also baked the medicine @ 325 for 5 min., before I did the butane extraction to see if it would increase potency. It was much darker than the un baked oil, it only yielded about 3/4 a gram., for 1oz. but it did seem to be stronger. The unbaked medicine is sometimes almost as clear as good honey and theres an average of 2 grams per oz. The concoction I made took effect in 5min., and was at full strength in 15min., and was fully active for......I'll let you know...lol. 22cc lasted for 5 to 6 hr., so I'm sure it will be at least that for 45cc.. Did you like her Tincture of Mars as far as potency goes, compared to the Green Dragon?.
just finished my first attempt. i followed directions on the first page other than the fact that i used a bit more 151 and i added about a half 1/8th of abv to the mix. i was surprised when i took the weed out of the oven because i thought it was too brown, and by the time i finished it was quite brown. i think this may have to do with the fact that not only did i use 151 and no everclear, but because of the extra abv. anyhow, it smelled super dank and so i took a spoon full with some koolaid. we'll see how it goes! i
It looks like he started a second sentence, and just stopped dead in his tracks! "We'll see how it goes! I ...." Stuff kicks in suddenly and strong!Quote:

well it wasn't as successful as i felt that it had been. i took a bit less than a teaspoon (i have about 1.5 oz) and the effects are quite mild, even negligible. i used a pyrex cup instead of a mason jar, i wonder if that was insulating the alcohol too much. I could only seem to get it up to 165 or so. Thinking back i wish i would have boiled it a bit harder, but as the original recipe called for lower temperatures i figured it should at least be close enough. When i baked it, the smell was never that strong, but it smelt more like when i use my vaporizer. when i opened the oven there was a decent puff of vapor and the weed had lost a lot of its color and was fairly brown but not as brown as my abv. Any ideas? im bummed, that's an 1/8th of grapefruit haze i can't blaze
sorry for the double post but my roommate tried a spoonfull today on an empty stomach and says it's definitely a nice body high. i'm thinking it was just baked too much, as it was quite dark when i brought it out of the oven..
Made a new batch of green dragon last night.
Used 2 oz Devils Springs Vodka (160 proof) and 6 grams of dank (grapefruity flavor).
It came out really nice.. it has a great color and is super strong.
Thanks again for the recipe Master Wu :)
You may have baked it too much and too long. What temp and how long?Quote:

As an update, i took two spoonfulls yesterday and it was quite nice unfortunately i only have another 5 doses that size. none the less, thanks master wu!
