Very good post! I make green dragon with a recipe much like yours... anyway, i have some questions...

-Why to compress the ground weed?

-Does 20 minutes of simmering in alcohol is enough? I "reflux" the weed in alcohol for one entire hour... by "refluxing" i mean i put a dish covering the jar with alcohol, so the evaporating alcohol condenses there, and comes back to the jar. Doing so, its possible to heat it for long periods of time without having to add more alcohol to fill the space left by the evaporated alcohol.

-Why to wait 24 hours until the next step?

-Does 30 minutes of isomerization is enough? When i do it with hash oil, i need at least 2 hours to get a "decent" amount of isomerization... once i did it process for several different times, and get this (aproximate) results:
Started with 100% indica (Ind):
With 1 hour of isomerization: about 50 Sat/50 Ind.
With 2 hours: about 70 Sat/30 Ind
With 3 hours: Indica effects were almost unnoticeable. And it seems some THC started to decompose.
The amounts are estimates on the feeling of the high i get with the oil. They are completly subjective. But i think they have some use.
BTW, calling the process isomerization is somewhat erroneous. None of the cannabinoids is actually an isomer of THC. The reactions that actually happen are hydrogenation, enolization (sp?)(enol to cetone), and such...

Anyway, enough of questions for now... the imporant is that you go HIGH from it... did you? :thumbsup::stoned:

GD Process Exp1 (lenghty) Feel free to correct me where I may be wrong, but I started this about two days, finished it and tried it today, so if I'm wrong somewhere, it still worked. I'll be doing more later that acid thing has got me thinking, I think I can make it a bit stronger still.
