Honey oil tinctures

[20dollarholla]

I want to know if it is possible to take around 3-4 grams of pure honey oil and use it to make a tincture. I thought I would use food grade glycerine and heat it up a littlt bit to help the BHO to dissolve better, and then blend it with the blender.

I believe that this will work but my question is when the glycerine gets room temp again will the oil seperate out of the tincture.

It may happen as well... i dont know if the honey oil is soluble in glicerin.
But you would dissolve the honey oil in a bit of alcohol, then mix this alcohol with the glicerin. As the alcohol is soluble in glicerin, it must work.

Well THC is more soluable in glycerine than oil, so The THC must leach out of the honey oil into the glycerine. I've seen the recipe for thc drops this way using straight weed. The directions for those were to

Grind 1oz of po and add to about 4 ounces food grade glycerine and let sit in a cool dark place for 2 months shaking daily.

I have no patience so that method is out. That is when I came up with the idea of the honey oil drops. You could take all the thc froma 1/4lb and put it in a nice littlt visine bottle and drop it in your mouth and hold under your toungue. Orally the drops arent as potent, but sublingually you could probaly get an elephant stoned with these babys.

Man... thats a nice idea... i have glicerin here, so i may try it!
Do you know how long the effects take to start, how long they last, and how many hash oil you need to get high (i mean... how much compared with the amount you should smoke to get the same high)...

From the results I have heard of on another message board is that the glycerine makes the thc considerably stronger.

I do not think the honey oil would separate out of the glycerine. I'm not a chemist, but I think that anything that is soluble in alcohol is soluble in glycerine.

Also, if you do not have the patience to wait the 2 months (or whatever it is) for the THC to diosolve in the glycerine, you could try heating it. I don't like waiting either, so that is why I use double boiler water bath method to make green dragon. See http://boards.cannabis.com/recipes/8...-combined.html Using the water bath you do the extraction in about an hour, instead of waiting for a few months. Also, my opinion is that the heat makes a better high because of the decarboxylization and maybe isomerization of the THC, although not everyone agrees.

Anyway, I was thinking about trying the same hot water bath technique with a glycerine extraction. I was thinking I would put 1/8th of bud in an ounce or two of glycerine and boil it in a water bath for an hour. Glycerine has a high boiling temperature, so I think there would actually be less of a problem with it boiling away than there is with the alcohol. And you could take the drops sublengually, which would be fun to try.

Let us know if you try this, and I will do the same. I need to buy some glycerine first. I want something labeled as being food grade. They have glycerine at my pharmacy, but it is labeled for topical use, so I need to look around.
