The Definitive Green Dragon (Cannabis Tincture)

also does baking the pot at 200 for 20-25 minutes really stink up the house because it seems like it would and i dont want it to smell strong.

if it does leave a quite strong smell would 5 min at 325 be adequite

"the orange extract is 88% alcohol by content and i dont think that is the problem. green dragonsoda.com said it worked and they seem like a legit site. but i might get 151 just to be safe. the extract is so much cheaper"

I know it list the extract on the site. It also say not to use a microwave on the site lol. But you went there anyway.


"do you know any other pretty easy recipes to get high w/ out smoking.the only other one i have heard of is a honey based extraction where u just put some honey in a pan with the weed and add water as it slowly cooks i dunno though master wu's seems to be the very best and most efficient"

Firecrakers are ez and there is no smell if made right.

Honestly just reading the recipe section here gives tons of different things to try.

Both will leave a strong smell. So I guess your underage. Which means. Sorry no more advice from me. Nothing personal just how it is. Good luck man!

well thats cool man its been real and thanx for all the help i appreciate it

Totally going to make the Green Dragon just like you described! That is awesome.

Thats sick dude. Also you dont need that much money for it.

I just want to make a few clarifications and add my own experience to the GD manufacturing process. I have followed diligently the instructions provided by Master Wu for a number of batches now, an my experience adds to the following:

1. Pot baking time: The conditions of your week will modify the cooking time considerable. I keep mine in a humidor, and it is always fresh and ready to be smoked, with a high level of humidity. If you weed is in that condition, the first vapors you will see rising from the pot will be very early, and with almost no odor, corresponding mainly to evaporating water. After approximately five minutes those vapors will subdue, and they will be followed, after about one or two minutes, by more dense, stronger smelling vapors. I believe those are the ones that Master Wu refers to. So, if your weed has a high degree of moisture, you need to add around two minutes to your baking time. After proper baking has occurred, not only the color changes but the weed feels â??toastyâ?�.
2. Simmering time: The longer the simmering time, the more concentrated the tincture will be, to a certain degree. I believe that the 20 minutes recommended amounts to the effective alcohol simmering, boiling time, which is not attained until after 10 minutes in the double boil bath. This makes a total time of approximately 30 minutes, from which 20 are real alcohol boiling time.
3. To get the most of the tincture, I still leave it resting in a cool dark place for about one week before separating the weed. I use a piece of surgical gauze as a filter, which I later press using a lime squeezer.

Hope this helps. Greetings, Master Wu!

Sorry. I had saved the wrong link for the official thread.

i tried this method and another one mentioned here (Green Dragon Recipes (Marijuana Drink)), i also tried a conventional vodka tincture (waited 4 weeks long). neither did work for me. first of all, they didn't get me high a bit. one dropper, five droppers, one shot glass... but not getting high wasn't the problem. the horrible aftertaste however was... they all tasted like i am poisoning myself (no pun intended), it burns your mouth and stomach, makes you nauseous... and the taste lasts 8 painful hours. horrible... and the droppers, pots, pans etc. makes you feel like you are doing "drugs".
so, within the last month, i wasted ~1 oz high grade weed.

my advice would be, smoke the thing, don't play with it.

Dont give up only because you still hadnt any sucess... it works, i assure you... i went HIGHHH several times drinking it... so there must be something you were doing wrong... anyway... if once you succeed, you will LOVE it... cause the high can be HIGHHHH :stoned::stoned::abduct:

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.

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?
