I just combined those two processes because in my mind it would just be more efficient and time saving to do an extraction with the weed already processed a little.
Hm... now i understand. It seems a good idea, even if a bit lenghty...

I had some slight visual things going on, I can't quite put a finger on the explanation...I guess fuzzy, vibration...something of that nature I guess, alot like if I had taken a xanax bar and smoked a blunt or something, except the mind high was more intense. My body was noticeably changed, my vision a little different, and other than that I was verily stoned to say the least haha. I know there could be more though. The more could be where I puke everywhere and wish I were dead, but I felt there was more I could reach nonetheless.
How much of this doses (1.5-2 tbsp) can you get from the amount of green dragon you did make?
Or, how much weed you would need to make one of this doses you did drink? And how was the kind (indica/sativa) and quality of the bud?
BTW i understand VERY well what you felt during the experiences... some things you described i would feel also but couldnt describe in words like you did... green dragon is trippy indeed... :stoned:

Well... im assuming that the taste of the alcohol dont bothers you... for me, its the worst part. The aftertaste (which for me feels very bitter) is the easy part... I have to drink without breathing, as cold as possible, and always mix with something for easing its taste... i usually use coke, but ive noticed that acid things makes the bitter taste less noticeable... before i started to use coke (in the good sense ), i used pure lemon juice, LOTS of sugar and ice... and yet was hard work drink it...
Also, you may have noted that adding green dragon to any drink makes it murky, cloudy... It turns the beautifully black coke into a murky brown ugly looking thing, which resembles a magic potion... And the soft greenish lemon juice becomes a murky dark green thing... even more evil-looking than the coke...

I also read that for some acid extractions, salt is used to keep the acid from hurting some of the weaker plant chemicals. I'm not sure, how, where, or how much salt is used, but that might be something to think about with the lemon juice idea as well.
Does you mean general acid extractions, or cannabis acid extractions?
I know they are used to extract other psychoactives (unmentionable here), but never heard about acid extractions of cannabis... what makes sense, as acid extractions usually are used to extract psychoactives that are alkaloids, which behaves like bases, and so are turned into usually soluble salts when react with acids.
But the THC is not an alkaloid, its an alcohol, so it doesnt form salts when react with acids. Thats why we extract it with organic solvents, because its the only way.
So, the lemon juice is used only during the "isomerization"... the standard recipes says to use stronger acids, but maybe lemon juice is already enough...
BTW, destructing THC is not very easy. So, dont worry about it. If it resists the heat of a flame, and can arrive at our lungs, some few hours of a hot bath are just a piece of cake for it! :stoned:
