It's hard to say how much it would serve without knowing exactly what you are starting with. I've always made it with bud, but I know that people do it with stems, shake, etc.

I usually try to get an idea of how many times I could get high if I smoked what I have, and then figure the same number of doses of green dragon would come out of it. So if I start with a nice 1/8th of bud that I think could get me high 20 - 30 times, I figure 20 - 30 doses of green dragon would come out of it. You are not starting with a nice 1/8th of bud, so you will have to be the judge of that.

Another thing to be aware of is if you are not starting with strong herb, you don't want to use so much alcohol that you would get drunk before you ever got high. For example, if you thought you could get high maybe 4 times off that starting material, you would not want to soak it in 32 oz of vodka, becasue you would have to drink 8 oz of vodka to get one dose --- nighty-night!
