I have yet to find any decent tinctures in any dispensaries. Of course most of what you find in dispensaries are glycerin based. Personally I don't see how a glycerin based tincture can be effective - what are the compounds binding too?

Now I've been making some homemade tincture, alcohol based, that is incredible. It's doesn't cloud your head, great for body aches & pains, and just a general good overall well-being feeling.

For me it's not practical to use product purchased from a dispensary as that would just drive the cost of making it too high. I only use what I grow or what friend's have given to me. I use a combination of both bud & sugarleaf. Personally though using just bud gives the tincture the best flavor & effect. Using sugarleaf gives it a very "green" taste due to the abundance of chlorophyll.

I basically use the Green Dragon method, but have over time altered it to improve the taste. Regular straight green dragon simply can't be taken directly. Too much burn & god awful taste!

I've had several acquaintances who run dispensaries ask if I would be interested in mass producing it for them to sell at retail. After calculating how much I spend in time & money in making and how much it would have to sell at retail so they could turn a small profit, I don't think there's a big enough market for a nearly $75-100/oz tincture.

I do provide my patients a 4oz bottle of tincture monthly, but most of what I make is just for myself & my girlfriend.
