TINCTURES
Well... tried it again, yesterday... This time i put the hash oil in the test tube, added about 2.5 cm3 of alcohol, mixed until the hash oil be completly dissolved, added about 1.5 cm3 of glicerin, mixed until it became homogeneous, heated only until the tar-like thing started to precipitate. When it started, i stopped the heating, and cooled it.
As the heating was much smaller than during my other attempts, most of alcohol that i added remained in the tincture. I did it purposedly, as the THC is far more soluble in alcohol than in glicerin. Also, in the only sucessfull attempt i had done until then (the 2nd one), the tincture had a lot of alcohol in it. Then, i did put it under my tongue...
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! It burned a LOT!!! The tincture was much more alcohol than anything, and i could feel it... After some 2 minutes, the burning stopped... i kept the tincture under my tongue for some 10 minutes.
After some 20 minutes, i started to feel weird... not stoned, but somewhat numb, slow... im sure this effects were due the alcohol, which also entered in my bloodstream... as i never drink, my tolerance to alcohol is null, so i could clearly percieve its effects.
Then, after about 30-40 minutes i started to feel the effects of a high creeping in... but the high only started, and never actually kicked in. I felt, again, like i would feel if i had eaten an insufficient amount of weed... i would feel weird... not sober... but not high also... it was much like the so-called sober high we get during the first days of a break...
I waited until about 1:30 hour to know if the effects would increase or not... they didnt... i only was sober-high... then i smoked a lot and went fucked... yes... smoking never ever disappointed me... :jointsmile:
And today my undertongue is still weird. It doesnt hurt, but i feel like if it were somewhat coarse... surely due the burning by the alcohol.
Anyway... I think this time it worked well enough... im sure the amount of hash oil i did use was not enough for making me high... but i went somewhat high, what was expected.
Conclusions... using alcohol in the tincture allows more THC to be dissolved in it, and so the tincture is more effective. But its have the inconvenient of being painful to use it... So, more research is still required... mainly in how to transfer the THC from the alcohol to the glicerin.
