I have made alcohol- based freezer tinctures, that turned out great! Some people like to "toast" the weed, before beginning the tincture process (converts THCA to THC, they say - but there are good medical reasons to believe that THCA is a good thing and also adds to the high.

So, I would do whichever you prefer, since both ways work. I've made tinctures with and without the "toasting". Strength seemed the same, but the green one didn't have that cooked-weed taste.

Good Luck!
farmermo Reviewed by farmermo on . Weed Tinctures Hey everybody, this is my first post. I was wondering why a weed tincture works while eating plain weed doesnt have any effect. I know weed has to be heated to have an effect, but when making a tincture using the freezer method, I didn't think any heat was required. http://www.marijuana.com/cooking-marijuana-recipes/19319-tincture.html If anybody knows, that'd be down :hippy: Rating: 5
