Making hash, Oil, Tincture, THC Pills and Butter

Great info on the tincture Jester, I think a small bottle of 151 may be in my future.

Quick question for anyone that's ever tried it. Would boiling off some of the alcohol after straining the ground bud out leave me with a higher thc% tincture? I don't drink much liquor, so using fewer drops would be a plus to me.

A couple weeks ago I made a small batch of coconut oil with some sativa trimmings. After eating it, I fell asleep for about an hour, and when I woke up it almost felt like I was tripping. I can only describe it as the kind of high speed, deep thinking I always did about 2-3 hours after the peak of a good LSD trip. I don't do drugs anymore, but to get that high off a little pot is amazing to me. I'm hoping I can get that feeling again from either a tincture or pills. I kind of like the idea of a little eye dropper bottle full of a tincture...seems like it would be easy to control your dosages.

Anyway, great thread. Lots of excellent contributions. +rep for many.

hey howard i was recently pondering the same thing,


like what if you made a heated alcohol tinciture but then u let all the alcohol evaperate so what your left with is a some super potent edible mash


then I wanted to take this super potent mash and maybe compress it in some sort of pill press, making super duper potent pills you can swallow


what do you guys think, can you let the alcohol evaporte after you make the alc tinc?

Yes...Ive done it it is quite easy grind up ur buds, put the matter in a mason jar and soak it with 91% alcohol. Shake it up good and strain pour the whole thing into a coffee filter and strain it into a clean wide piece of glass (helps the evaporation process. Usually within a day or two, you will have a black goo. Then if you want to save the grinded up stuff and remix back into the oil to get a putty. You can fill capsules with this.




out.

yes it will the alcohol and water will evaporate out leaving thc behind (alcohol will evaporate out faster than the water) especially in things like vodka and what not... in doing so it leaves the thc behind and leaves a higher thc to alcohol ratio..... meaning more thc per shot, squirt, sip etc. = more stoned less pissed lol

you could let could even let it evaporate right down and have a version of isophoryl hash oil but with whatever you used (id use the propper things if i was going to do this especialy not flavoured essences and what not)
The reason i mentioned it is cos you asked what will happen if you let it sit. and if you let it sit itd evaporate down till thres only a little water left evaporate that out and get oil.. untill it was..

im not a big drinker anymore either thats y tinctures not really for me too.

yeah thats one way i make y caps.

and kinda like one way i makeoil workable, but i use dry powder fine fresh material....

and i only put the goo in the caps i dont mix it back with the mash i used to make it kinda defeatis the purpose id sa... youve just stripped it of most goodness use fresh stuff if you do thi id say... but like i said i dont do this for caps just put the goo in em..... only mix the dry poeder fine fresh material when i dont put it in caps to make it more workable and a hash like texture

glad to hear some people think along the same lines tho. thanks crackerjacks lol

I'm not sure what you mean by flavored essences. Is that like a citrus or mint extract?

I agree Jester, I put the mix back in so it is easier to work with. The last time I just used oil, I looked like a kid after his first session with finger painting....

Essence? Makes me think of bodily fluids and Dr. Strangelove.....

out.

things like lemmon and vanila essence are high in alcohol% they have good flavours and make good flavours for tincture.

to crackerjacks ext time try leaving a little to the side and getting it as powder fine as you can get it. then once done work it through till its a hash consistensy i find it better for the reason stated it hasent been sstripped of thc and what not

lol as for that you looked like a kid finger painting..... ive looked like the incredible hulk before doing alcohol extraction hash oil lol when i was like 14. dropped it all over maself when i tripped up.
