I made green dragon for a while now, then made it more concentrated- then cooked it down til I had an almost blak oil - applied it to a spot I had had on my arm for awhile now- the green dragon seemed to make it peel- go away- come back smaller. This concentrate made it 'bubble up' and my entire arm started turning red and hurting- I stuck with it and overnight the spot is smaller and no longer scabby and sore...
This is small part from a journal I have written How I make RSO (Concentrated Cannabis Oil):

"It is very important to make no exceptions in many of the processes. Like the solvent. Many people do not have the patience and will not wait to obtain the right equipment or solvent. Impatience leads to waste and an end product that is less than par. The solvent I recommend is either 99% isopropyl alcohol or a safer solvent would be 190 Everclear. At this point in Michigan, you are much better off ordering one of the two online. You can also use any 190 proof grain alcohol, no less than 190 proof or 99% isopropyl alcohol. These are the two solvents I would choose from, they are a bit weaker than others, but in my opinion, much safer than the alternative.

A coffee mug warmer, no exceptions. One person used a coffee pot warmer plate and his entire batch of oil was destroyed. It looked great but it had zero potency and his starting bud material was very potent."

Just my opinion. 100 proof or other proof alcohols may work for some recipes, or may work for RSO, I just don't recommend it. If you know that you can get a grain alcohol that is higher than 190 proof, then God bless you!

Either way, this is what I recommend, no exceptions, for treating a serious illness.
