Hey, GW!
I just made my first tincture by doing an ethanol quick wash of 20 grams of plant in ethanol and evaporating all the alcohol away. I then combined that oil with an ounce of ethanol that had been distilled with 2 grams of kief, and then boiled away 50% of this liquid. The results were powerful, even when diluted with another liquid by 50 %. However I have been taking 4 -8 drops a few times a day as needed, and am already running low on tincture. As satisfied as I was with this, it was a bit too much of a burn to really do sublingually, and while it was very strong, I would like something even stronger.

Been reading up on your posts all week, GW, and I am very interested in making some HAO. I saw you said somewhere that, if need be, you could substitute an alcohol extracted oil for the BHO. I have three quick questions, if you don't mind.

One, if one were to substitute the BHO with an ethanol quick wash, how exactly would you go about conducting the quick wash? After the alcohol had all evaporated would you just simply combine this with the other ingredients? would you need to heat the combined ingredients at all?

Two, how much ethanol extracted oil would you substitute for the BHO, would you just substitute 10 grams BHO for 10 grams quick washed ethanol oil or would you use a slightly different ratio?

Third, if using the BHO, you speak of getting the material decarboxylated by doing a 240 degree oil bath. How exactly do you do this?

Thanks so much!

Your work is most certainly an inspiration to me!

We have been playing with the formula for Holy Anointing Oil, as presented in the Christian Bibleâ??s Exodus 30:22-25.

Originally the formula would call for a perfumer boiling olive oil, water, cinnamon bark oil, cinnamon leaf, liquid Myrrh gum, and about 15 ounces of cannabis per quart, until the Rating: 5
