It will work, but consider:

Dry out the weed as much as possible, don't know if this is real science or voodoo but it seems to make a difference for me and a lot of other people. Grind up the weed, fold it up in a piece of paper, then put it in an Altoids tin in the sun on a hot afternoon. Preferably on a brick or cement surface. Solar drying.

With the weaker alcohol I would try to leave it soaking in about an ounce of alcohol for at least a month, longer if you can stand the temptation. Might be overkill but that would be better than underkill and poor results.

Try a teaspoon on an empty stomach. Wait 1 hour and start smoking, enjoy.
ky1956 Reviewed by ky1956 on . Tincture? Hey guys, I want to make a tincture, and have read many recipes, but I dont have a kitchen to use a hot method. I dont want to waste my goodies if I mess up, so i want to try a small batch first. I have a 1.6 g nug left from last night, if I grind that up and pour enough white rum (40%) to cover the herb, keep in a jar for a few weeks, will that be good enough? if so, what should the dose be?
