I used kief for a quick 24-48 hours everclear soak. Also I used trim and it just finished a months soak. the methods I read about don't say anything about heating the alcohol at the end? I have found people with real pain feel like this is God's gift and people that just enjoy smoking aren't as impressed. I have a good friend who can not deal with alcohol at all so I want ot try Glycerin I understand the long soak method but want ot know if I use kief can I have a batch ready in a few days?

You can make glycerin tincture in a few days using hot extraction and heat cycling.

Trying to re-dissolve an extracted cannabis concentrate in glycerin doesn't work well because of all that precipitates out and hangs in suspension.

If you are using the cannabis extraction orally, you will get better results if you will decarboxylate your tinctures.
Graywolf Reviewed by Graywolf on . Question about the tincture I'm making First, the background, then the question. I have some ground up bud soaking in 190 proof grain alcohol right now. Been soaking 20 days. I'm going to let it go 10 more days, then start evaporating off the alcohol so I'm left with mostly the canna-oil. I'm going to heat the tincture very slowly, safely, and carefully to about 170 degrees and let the alcohol boil off. Okay, here's the question. I want to be able to take this tincture under my tongue. However, the alcohol is *very* Rating: 5
