The Definitive Green Dragon (Cannabis Tincture)

Yes, do not get addicted to alcohol. That stuff is the scourge of the earth and will fuck you up good, as well as the ones around you. I've seen it many times.

Sorry about that nicotine addiction bro. Ozzy Osborne said that he has been addicted to every drug, and by far the hardest to quit was nicotine, not that you necessarily need to quit.

I like what I like. I used to spin on my knee on the floor to get dizzy as a kid. I used to HATE ButtHead AshHoles, but ...... I remember liking it as a tiny kid in car with GranParents - till I felt sick to stomach. Oh well. I can get hung-over quicker than you, if I drink TOOO much AGAIN. I agree with "FUCK the TOBACCO", but not the NICOTINE. I'm addicted now. BOO HOO. I bought 2 bags for $5.28 each. $11 so far so it is $25 of tobacco a year versus that only being 2 bottles of Vodka a DAY?, WEEK or MONTH ??? If I live on $4 a gallon Milwaukee's Best Light Keg BEER, I don't spend as much on VODKA. Quantity Discount WINz. 15 gallons of BEER lasts either a year or 6 monthes, my choice. First a year and now only 6 monthes. 30 gallons of BEER a year needs a THC tincture diet for my BEER GUT. Poppy tincture ??? Time will tell. Cocaine seeds ??? WOW. I never wanted, but ............... lick my crack

i cant follow a damn sentace this guys says..

I know it's hard, but you gotta think outside the pipe, then you'll understand maybe half.

Ozzy quit ??? Why did he start ??? I did because my brain likez it and without it pot iz boring and has almost NO buzz. Sounds strange, but ...... the truth hurtz. I wanna know if a nicotine tincture type thing will ever happen for me and my mind ??? Do you think Master Wu heat treats his smoking mix ??? Oh yeah, he quit. Tincture only. If converting THCA into THC works for tincture, does it work with fire evaporation, too ??? Master WU, I heard you when you said you would appreciate ANY comments or questions. Is the pot any better for using in my water-filtered jam jar ??? I mentally tricked myself into thinking so, but ......... Why does GreenDragonSoda guy say 325 degrees for 20 minutes and you say 150 for 5 minutes ??? Which iz best ??? I will try it all, but ....... HELP

Lotta confusion about this stuff in general.

Don't go above 350 degrees, because I think THC is destroyed at 380 or something like that. I just remember everything I read said 350 is the cut-off point for cooking and tinctures.

Can this recipe be double with same effect? Or is it best to just make batchs of this size and repeat?

[Oksmokey]

Is the dosage a drop or 1 full dropper?

I made some and ended up with 1 3/4 oz. much more than the expected 1 oz. I used 190 proof liquor. I dosed 5 or so drops almost two hours ago and I am feeling some effect. A friend dosed 2 drops and felt nothing. I JUST reread dosage and I think it is a full eyedropper full. Two for "outerspace".

Also the alcohol is real strong in my batch. It burns when you put it under your tongue. This true for anyone else's?

Hello Friends,

Here are a few answers to some of the more vexing GD questions.

1. Baking Temperature/Time.
I use 325 Farenheit for 5 minutes. Although this will change depending on the type of pan you use. With a gas oven and aluminum foil (no pan cookie sheet) 5 minutes was fine. However with an electric oven, a cookie sheet, and baking parchment, I needed a few more minutes. I keep a close eye on it. When I begin to see/smell vapors then it is time to remove it from the heat. THC vaporization occurs around 380F so the 325F is should be safe despite the vapor smell.

2. Double the Recipe
Sure, why not. It should be fine. But I prefer to err on the side of caution and would probably do the extraction twice with a self-titration in between runs.

3. Dosage
You will have to figure dosage with each batch. And you must test it on yourself. The way to do this is through titration (a fancy chemical term that means to determine the concentration of a solution). The concentration of GD will change based on the strength of the starting material, the amount of alcohol you boil off during the extraction, the efficiency of your pre-bake, etc.

Start with one or two full dropperfuls (not drops!) and swallow them down. Check the time and note when you first feel effects, when you peak, the intensity of the peak, and how long it lasts. Make sure you can reproduce your titration (empty stomach, time of day, diluted in water?, etc). If you like what you feel, great. If too much or not good enough try again tomorrow with a different amount. With two points (high and low) you should have a pretty good idea of how it works on your body. Of course it might be different on someone considerably bigger or smaller.

For instance one batch I made was unbelievably strong--1 dropperful and I was flying. The next one takes 3 dropperfuls for same effect (but the solution was more dilute as I ended up with 1.75oz instead of 1oz of final GD, and the pot wasn't as good.

4. And as always--don't put the stuff in your eye ;-). And don't put it under your tongue because it burns. I now place the GD in a tablespoon (or so) of water--yum. I actually like the flavor as it is sort of floral. I also store mine in the fridge, but don't really know if this matters.

The microwave method to decarboxylate the THC was removed from the www.greendragonsoda.com along with the dangerous extraction method.

Is it two minutes on High in a microwave to decarboxylate the bud?

Will it get above 350? If yes, then yes.
