You are on the right track. Your alcohol to weed ratio seems a bit high, particularly for sublingual (under the tongue) application. 190 burns like hell so you want the strongest thc % possible. The Master Wu method calls for a ratio of 1.75grams per oz of alcohol, then cooking it down to 1 oz of alcohol, that is 3.5 grams per oz. A few drops will kick your butt.
But all is not lost, the sit and wait method works, you just have to be willing to sit and wait.
Sample at 2 weeks, maybe a 1/3-1/2 oz on an empty stomach, mixed with a short glass of OJ or soda, and see what you think
Remember this is very concentrated and your tolerance will go up quickly, so if you use it more than about once per week the results will diminish. For me even if I up the dose the cerebral aspects just are not the same if I don't wait a week or so between doses.
The first time out leave the weed in the bottle/jar and let the weed soak longer, worst think that can happen is that it will get stronger.
Be warned that some people get worried they haven't taken enough and up the dosage too soon and get anxious, just ride it out, your heart or head won't explode and it will all be better in the morning.
Smoking about 1-1.5 hrs after ingesting can really compliment your cocktail. But wait at least this long to appreciate the tincture only buzz.
My preferred routine is to ingest the tincture, stay busy for about 30 minutes, and then sit back in a calmer activity and wait for it to kick in. usually takes 1.5-2 hours to reach maximum intensity. Makes for a great wake and bake.

After a month you can concentrate your liquid with a water bath or strain it and pour it in a container without a lid and let it evaporate. A pyrex measuring cup works well, the marked gradutions will let you measure how much evaporation has occurred and when you get brave enough to try the Master Wu technique, the pyrex makes a great cooking vessel. About $5 at your local grocery.

The Master Wu method has never failed me when I followed every step, but I have had less than desirable results when I took shortcuts.

I think if you started about 1.5 grams soaking in an oz every month you could have a nice dose every weekend on a continual basis.

Please report back and let us know how your experiment went. Scientific research should always be reviewed by your peers.
ky1956 Reviewed by ky1956 on . Making Green Dragon Hi all, This is my first try at making Green Dragon. Lots of mixed info out there. I combined about 6 grams of nice dank bud with about 6 oz 190 proof everclear. I'm going to let it sit for 2 weeks before I try it. First I'll just take some under the tongue. Then I'll try it in a hot drink. Finally, if those don't really work, I'll try the hot-bath decarboxylation method I've read about. Anyone try this before? What do you think the effective dose will be? I'm hoping for something Rating: 5
