since none of the heatnig methods of making tincture I'm making green dragonthe old way by letting the weed sit in alcohol for some time. I wanna let it sit in the fridge for three months, hopefully.

Why dont you want to heat the green dragon? Its damn faster... from months to minutes...

it's never worked for me no matter how many tries or variations

Could you describe how you did it? Maybe someone can point out what was wrong... as it always works for me... with awesome results!

BTW, i was reading some recipes for making glicerin-based tinctures, but they took a LOT of time... so i thought about a way for making it faster.
First, make some hash oil, or honey oil. It takes some 2-3 days...
Then, dissolve the hash oil in alcohol (everclear).
Mix this alcohol with the glicerin.
Heat this misture until the alcohol evaporate. Doing so, the THC will remain solved in the glicerin.
If you start with the hash oil, the amount of time required must be of a few hours, or less, instead the months of the original recipe.

BUT its only an idea, and i dont know if it will actually work... I will try it right now... if it works, i will post at monday (as i only will enter in internet again after this weekend).

well I've tried it the exact same way Master Wu's recipe goes, it should've worked for me but it didn't, and I've tried like more than 10 times.

This is one of the ideas I had on how to get the THC from a 1/4lb of reefer into a tiny little dropper

So, i tried it... dissolved a small amount of hash oil, 2-3x the amount i smoke usually, into a bit of alcohol, then mixed it with glicerin.
The solution of hash oil in alcohol was dark brown, that turned into murky brown when i added glicerin.
The amount of alcohol was about twice the amount of glicerin. And the amount of hash oil was roughly 1/100 of the volume of alcohol.
Then i put the test tube with the mixture into a can with boiling water, and left there until all the alcohol evaporate. You can know that all alcohol evaporated when the volume of the solution dont goes smaller with the passing of time.
When the alcohol was completly evaporated (what took some 10-20 minutes), the glicerin was murky green, and there was a lot of small bits of a dark, almost black tar-like residue in the test tube.
I took only the glicerin, cooled it, and put under my tongue for 10 minutes.
After some 20-30 minutes, i felt slightly high... dont know if i went much higher than it... but, if i had eaten/drinked the (small) amount of hash oil i used, i would be only slightly high also... so, i think it actually works.
Im making some hash oil right now, and will test this technique with a greater dose... Later, or tomorrow, i will post my results.

Did you drink it? Or put under your tongue? Does the solution was dark green/brown? Did you drink it with an empty stomach? (Drinking it with a full stomach is a complete waste as it dont works...) There must be an explanation, as the recipe always worked for me...

Also, there is a point that is not stressed in the recipe... when you heat the alcohol with the weed in it, when the alcohol starts to simmer, it starts to appear a thin layer of a greenish/brownish substance just above the level of the alcohol, in the walls of the glass which contains the alcohol+weed. This substance is the resin that contains the THC.
Whenever you see this, mix the glass, making the alcohol wash it, so the resin will be re-dissolved in the alcohol.
If you dont do it, all the THC-containing resin will be glued to the inner surface of the glass, instead solved in the alcohol.
