Hey, I just want to try making a tincture, just to see what its like, so i would like to take a gram of high-grade bud and put it into some bacardi 151 like stated on this page:

http://www.thc-ministry.org/wwwboard/messages/172.html

So here are my questions:
1) It says 1-2 drops is enough. WOW! This sounds too good to be true, as 1 gram would only be enough for 3-4 bowls. Is this tincture really that potent? If so, this is the most efficient way to use weed.

2) Under the tongue? or swallow?

Thanks

No one has any input at all?

when you burn weed, a lot of the stuff that will get you high is destroyed. it never actually reaches your lungs, or, it may, but as hydrocarbons...which are bad for you. things such as thc, cbn's and cbd's, are destroyed by fire. the heat from a tea can release those things into the liquid, but I bet it would taste awful, lol. personally, I vaporize...this releases the thc for a really clear, cerebral high...just the way I like it, ahhh. I don't even need the cbn or cbd. I don't like couch lock. also, I can usually re-vape, a few or several times. my buddy came by last evening...we vape'd 0.2 grams, his first time to vape...then, today, I got high off the same 0.2 grams, again. vaporizing is very efficient.

Yea i'm the same, I always vaporize, the effect is great and it is really efficient. Plus, no smell.

Back to the tincture, I now understand how it can be more potent than smoking. Thanks for replying dude, +Rep

no problem, enjoy it...

don't forget you have to heat the bud before you put into the tincture otherwise it wont work. I believe this has to do with converting THC A to THC.

Tinctures used in small amounts like that only work if you have a very low tolerance. Your better off making Green Dragon. 1 quart jar of bud shake stuffed full and favorite alcohol to cover. Make sure alcohol covers shake . Shake it daily. Leave in a cool dark area for 1 month. Drain clippings. I shot equals one moderate pot cookie. Its a great mild high and a little buzz from the alcohol. I must say though that the oily leafy quality takes some getin used to.

try water curing before you drop it in the booze. It should remove the "oily leafy taste"

forgot to answer the questions

it is that potent, but he used one gram in a medicing bottle with a dropper in it. for a whole bottle he used an ounce.

Under the tongue, it goes directly into the blood stream from there. Ive also read in high times to brush your teeth and gums before you apply and swish the liquid around before swallowing.

Thanks all, +Rep

What I did was take a gram of high grade, and put it in some Jack Daniels (80 proof). Then I boiled water to 350 degrees and placed the mixture inside (in the glass dropper) I left it in for a good 10 minutes and then took it out and shook for another 5 (biceps of steel lol). Now i have it sitting for a while. I sampled some, and it is very green and smells slightly like raw bud. I may have used too much JD, so i'll mess around with the dosage for today and post up how it goes. Next time i'll use more bud and less alcohol (proportionally)

Oh and @Sierra - I have quite a low tolerance, so hopefully this will all work out.

eh, the way you did it I don't think it will work.
