The Definitive Green Dragon (Revised, Updated, Combined)

Alright so I followed the recipe, 325 in the oven for about 5 mins, it was more like 295 or something because the oven wasnt going above that for whatever reason.

I only had maybe a half gram of some decent shit so I wasn't expecting too much. I broke it up as small as i could and put it on some tinfoil.

Then i put the bud and two oz of lemon extract (83% alc) into a glass jar, then put that into some boiling water. I kept it at around 165 F using a thermometer inside the bud/lemon mixture for about 25 minutes.

Next I filtered it through a coffee filter and was left with a little less than an oz of the dragon, which was pretty green.

Finally, I took maybe a 1/4 of a shot of tangere and put in about 1/4 of the dragon liquid that i had made. As soon I put the dragon into the shot it like fizzled up and turned the whole thing into a greenish whitish mixture. Looked reallly cool.

I drank that at about 5pm and by 615 i was flyin high... all the way to like 10pm when things started to simmer down and I still had some effects till about 12. Definitely wasnt expecting it to be that potent. Very chill high that left me totally in control but sfeeling great for a long time.

Cant wait to make a bigger batch. Thanks for the recipe.

^^^Always good to hear a success story.

Has anyone tried doing green dragon with Absinthe? should be easy to hide, as nobody would question a green liquid in an absinthe bottle

found a nice site in the uk, carries some 89% proof stuff

- eAbsinthe

Absinthe will work, and some people just soak a lot of weed in Absithe to make green dragon. But I would recommend making the green dragon tincture acoording to Master Wu's instructions and then adding that to the Absinthe. I've added it to Creme de Menthe before, and it comppletely disappears into the green minty liqueur --- both color and weed flavor disappear. I usually make my own liqueur by making the tincture first and then just adding more Everclear, sugar, and water to get the right proportions, but it doesn't taste quite as good as just adding the tincture to another liqueur.

I am waiting for my green dragon to finish boiling at about 168-170 for another 7 minutes. I freaked out a bit because when I baked it at 325, right when I pulled it out, vapors were coming up. They just started but then I realized that it was the water and such. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I used not enough Bacardi 151 initially and most boiled off. I would of had maybe 3 ml of rum pressed out of about 3g of nice bud. I poured in more rum and brought it to 170 for another 5 minutes for a total time of 23 minutes.

Great recipe!!! Thank you for posting..

I did a batch myself and it came out ok for the first time but DEF boiled the 151 at too high of a temperature (didn't have a thermometer)..My lady and i felt the effects but not for a long period of time..I have a thermometer now and plan on doing another batch this evening..

I used 2 oz. of 151 and it reduced by waaaaaaaaaaay too much..probably had about a 1/3 of an ounce by the time we finished...

ANy thoughts??

Temps were probably the problem right??

Thanks folks!

nice im gunna have to make a batch of this. or even better i should brew some white widow ale

Just tried my 3rd batch, the 1st two were used with schwag and I used a meat thermometer which told the temp poorly. I bought a candy one which was able to properly read the temp with the electric coil stovetop. My girlfriend diligently stared at the thermometer for 20mins or so keeping the temp between 160-165 taking the pot off the burner if when it got to the upper ranges. Let filter through coffee filter and currently we have taken a good amount of it and added some beer 30 to our diet. We'll see what happens we report back with results.

Yeah. This is quite a thread.

I am so eager to try this recipe.....I went around shopping for Bacardi 151 and the only bottle I found was about $25.00....

I will eventually try this recipe.

You should be able to buy a pint (375) of 151 for around 10$

Well a few test subjects were used and the effects of the green dragon were very powerful. The worst side effect was the destruction of patience which lead to more or less an over dosing of green dragon, as too much goes too far and leads to whiteys.

2 of the 3 girls who tried it last night ended up puking and it wasn't just the 151. They split under an oz between the three of them. It is a very enjoyable time and even once lead to the peeing of pants due to laughter.

The effects mainly lead to a lot of laughter the silly but an over does lead to spinning and paralysis aka not really being able to move their limbs around and sickness.

Over all I would recommend this recipe to anyone and it is certainly a fun way to spend 50$ if you follow the instructions and make sure to maintain proper temperature (: It will be interesting to see how the next batch turns out!

Success! It ain't a party until someone pees their pants and pukes! Glad to hear it worked out so well!

The dosing is hard to get right because of the patience thing. You don't want to waste your time not getting high, but you don't want to overdo it either. So when you don't feel it coming on right away, you want more, and then, "Woops! I think i just peed myself! .... BLAAARPFFFFFFF!!!!!!"

snap, me and my buddy are trying this tonight with a shit load of fresh BC bud

we just got all the shit today, thermometer and jazz, i'll report back in a couple hours see how it went

Great recipe Master Wu...

Will try it.. but wanted to ask people..

What's the success rate of doing this? Cause alot of people complain it didn't work althou they followed the instructions ...

Like Non... he tried to many time's but still couldn't make it right...


When ill first try it I will use like 0.5 grams.. and scale everything else to appropriate measures.. Will it work just aswell on a smaller scale!?

Also about the mason jar.. doesn't glass brake at hot temperature? and how can i prevent it if so?


Cheers, this is my first post btw.. ;)

I tried making green dragon yesterday, following directions to the tee. I did it the safe way -- 200 for 20 minutes and making a batch and then the higher temperature for 5 minutes and making another batch. I think they both had some worth -- if you mixed a dropper or two in a shot glass with some soda like seirra mist it tasted so floral and good. It was hard to judge which batch was stronger. It definitely wasn't super super strong though (I put way over an 1/8th of nice kb in there and all of my keef and about another 1/4 of regs) I think it did what it was supposed to do though? I might try making it again I just wish i knew that I was doing it completely right.

to the person in the previous post asking about the heat of the mason jars -- Put an extra lid or two under the glass if you are worried about it -- It was a little trick that I learned from growing boomers (when you put them in the pressure cooker)

Ok, thanks for the info... Will try this soon.. ;) hopefully this weekend.. can't wait..

I followed the direction but changed the ratio. I used a bit over 1/8th of dank. I used this chinese rice wine I have. It's 40% alcohol. Its also been infused with honey comb and ginseng for months. I use about 3/4th of a remy bottle worth of the alcohol. after I was done I had 1/2 of a remy bottle left. I took a shot 1hr and half ago. I didnt feel anything the first hour so I figure I'm going to just experiment. I still have the weed tied up in cheese cloth soaking in the bottle. So I poured 1/4th of bottle of Absinith in the green dragon bottle. I'm going to see if it does anything in a few weeks. 1hr and 30mins now, I'm feeling it. I'm high but not baked. I'm trying to have it as shot servings. I also ate a big big bowl of rice and ox tail stew after I took the shot. Maybe I should of used more weed.

i'm interested in trying the original method ( first post )

Would i be able to use 4.5-5 grams of "regular herb" ( not dank ) shake in 2 oz's of bacardi151 to get similar effects as an eigth of headies?

took another shot a few hours later. this is the one with the Absinith. it had a stronger weed smell and taste but the effect is weaker, almost no effect. Damn could it be that I diluted it?:(

This sounds delicious ... :hippy:

I'm gonna get this cooking some day :D

Psychedelic Adventure :rastasmoke:

I read and reread this thread so many times I hope I got this right.

Let me warn you I usually OVERKILL everything!

I took 32 Grams of sit on the couch weed

Ground it up in my food processor to a fine powder

Preheated my oven to 325 for 10 min then put the powder on a sheet of foil ans baked for 5 min.

When I took it out I saw the wisp of vapor! it was browner then when it went in.

Then I place the poder in a double boiler added 2 1/2 cups of 160 proof vodka broght the mixture to 170 degrees and left it for 20 min.

When that was done I strained it and had 1 1/2 cups left.

SOOOO I washed the powder 2 more times I ended up with 3 cups or 24 oz of booze. Now trying to duplicate Dragonriders recipe in which he used 4 Grams bud to get 12 oz before he added the simple syrup.
I had started with 32 grams of bud so My recipe should have been 96 oz or 12 cups at this point. However I didnt have enough vodka! so I added all I had left that brought the volume up to 7.5 cups or 60 OZ

So by my calculations My mix is 62% stronger weed to booze.:stoned:

Now to get to the goal of doubling the volume with a 2 to 1 simple syrup to mineral water I figured I needed to add 5 cups of simple syrup and 2.5 cups mineral water.

Am I on the right track here???? :stoned::stoned::stoned:

Not to be a dick to anyone but if you don't know things like what a water bath is or if it's OK to drink isopropyl alcohol or how to convert Celsius to Faraeheit then you probably shouldn't be doing this kind of "advanced" chemistry. And for safety's sake I would consider Pyrex.

OOOOhhhh Yea this is "advanced Chemistry" Come on man we are just a bunch of stoner tyin to get High!!!!!!

Has anyone experimented with how grinded up the green is during the extraction process? If its ground up too much couldn't it get vapped much quicker? ... like what if you microwaved it? lol
Also, I have a crystal catcher on my grinder so what if I just put the crystal straight into the alcohol and heated it up?
This is just a thought I had, I don't know much about the science of this stuff.

I'm definitely gonna try this later this week though :D

Just made a batch of GD, it's dark green, and should be ultra dank.

Do you guys think this technique would work well for making absynth???????


I've got like 3 ounces of Wormwood lying around.

I've tried it twice now, with no results, and think I may be going wrong at the baking stage.

Even on a very low (180F) setting, my powdered bud goes brown very quickly and there's a burnt smell about it. Even after just a few minutes it turns that way.

This results in a brownish, burnt smelling product at the end of the water bath stage, and a pungent alcohol mix.

Tastes bad and there's no effect.

Any ideas?

Follow the dirrections.


Get an oven thermometer, then follow the dirrections.

Yes, I can assure you that I've followed the directions as closely as I can - can you be more specific with where you think I'm going wrong?

I have an oven thermometer - the over temperature is 180F. The cannabis is grinded into a powder, so I suppose there's a large SA:V ratio, but nothing so significant as to account for the quick burning.

Having read this thread in some detail, it seems very important that the baking stage is followed to the letter, but I'm loath to lose any more bud.

Unless someone can offer some helpful (i.e. not you Max) advice, I'll try a final time, ignoring the length the bud is in the oven, but concentrating more on the release of vapours and just taking the stuff out as soon as it starts to brown.

I am still curious as to how/why it's going brown so quickly.

I think it would be almost impossible to actualy "toast" the bud at 180F. I cook mine for 200F for 20 mins, and it does not really appear browned or burnt in any way --- it does get drier and loose some of its green color, but not much. So it sounds like your oven is too hot.

Do you have a separate oven thermometer that is not the built-in thermostat? Sometimes the thermostat can go bad, and it will say the oven is being held at a particular temp (say 180F), but it is actually much higher or lower. So you might want to put a sepaate oven thermometer in there to verify that the thermostat is working properly.

The other possibility is that the oven is still pre-heating when you put in the bud, and it is getting hot spots as it heats up. The burner elements get extremeley hot as the oven heats up, so the oven may read 180F, but next to an element it may be much much higher. Make sure to set the temp, turn on the oven, and let the oven pre-heat for 10 -15 minutes so that it gets up to an even temperature. Then put in your bud.

Those are my suggestions. Good luck!

Mine worked perfectly! I ground up the bud in a food processor, PREHEATED the oven with the cookie sheet in the oven, then after about 15 min of preheating I places the stash on the sheet. Closed the door set the timer ti 5 min and woolaa!

You can NOT hurt the thc unless you get hotter than 380 or something. It will NOT vap off at 325! When I tryed this at lower temps it did not work for me! I got a bunch of buddies now that want MORE GD!!!!!!!!!!:jointsmile:

Fred, if your avatar is any indication, you could just decarboxylize using your own farts. Can you keep that up for 5 minutes?

Next time I make GD, I'm going to try the 325F for 5 minutes. Master Wu said he thought that was better than the 200F for 20 that I was using. My method worked pretty well for me, but I want to try the other way too.

Glad to hear your GD was a success!

Thats how I heat my grow in the winter!!!!!:stoned:

I owe you a big thank you Dragon Your recipe is by far the best tasting! More peeps seem to like it better as original is too much booze for some! I think its also very important to follow the shot with a beer!!!!:thumbsup::bigsmoke:

Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed the recipe. I thought it was a bit more drinkable that way too. And a beer chaser is definitely the way to go!

I also found that if you mix it with Creme de Menthe, the grassy flavor seems to just disappear into the mint --- so if you have a few people who still don't like the taste, that's one thing you could try.

I just went back to check your earlier posts. I had missed them the first time around. Did you end up with something like a gallon of green dragon? Woooohoooo! That plus a keg of beer and 50 of your closest friends --- we could send a whole colony to Mars!

I got 40 2 oz bottles out of it. Plus what me and the boys had already drank!:thumbsup:

I found that green dragon in orange juice gives the juice a spicy kinda taste and will have you feeling it much faster.


All my green dragon is gone :(


I have to get my hustle game back up so I can do more fun experaments with pot.

How bad does this stink up a house..and is it really only two ounces of alchy? thats like two shots i think?

If you follow Master Wu Recipe yes its only 2 ounces, However if you follow Dragonrider and my recipe you will yield much more. You simply take Master wu s Recipe and make a double or triple or ????? whatever size batch you want to make. Its up to you... Just follow the procedure and you will be fine~!!!!!!!:stoned:

Let me tell you! Be Warned if your a light wieght be prepared! I have had a few peeps tellin me storys of getting HIGH AS FOOK ON THIS! so dose it easy!!!!!!!!!!!
