I was looking around and some people were calculating the output of 1 oz./ 1 cup and the doses are incredible.

**Klown** · 11-08-2007, 05:50 PM

20 drops per ml
30 ml per ounce
and 8 ounces to a cup

20 x 30 x 8 = 4800 drops
divide that by the average dose of 3 drops (4800/3)and you have 1600 doses that will get you super high according to anecdotal evidence.
compare that to the same ounce smoked. Assuming you smoke a measily .3g at a time 28.5/.3 =95 doses, which wouldnt get you as high.

So why would you need an ounce... Just cut all the ingredients and do a small scale test... Like cut all by 1/4 how much could that change... It is basically a cooking recipe... No... ??

I think 400 doses is plenty for any head... =]

I agree. And to hell with using glycerol... use everclear!!! If worried about the strength of alcohol, use less alcohol than what would completely soak the green and make something that will tumble it around so all of the green gets constantly wet. Or better yet, use a lot of alcohol and when finished, throw that shit in a blender with some fresh pineapple.

How do you "PRESS OUT THE GLYCERIN"?

**onehandedroller** · 11-09-2007, 05:11 AM

Squeeze It

I got about a half a shot left of green dragon just sitting in my cabinet

Shits so potent tho that you cant help but pass out within the next 4 hours, especially if you sit down. Then its just over lol. On average, 1 shot of the green dragon will last someone about 7-8 hours. Mine wasnt as potent tho seeing as we used an ounce of mid instead of nugg lol. If we would have made it with nug, we would only use about a drop. Theres TONS of recipes for TONS of different variations of the drink tho.

Green Dragon (drink)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the drink. For other uses, see Green Dragon.
Green Dragon is an alcoholic beverage made by leaching the leaves of the cannabis plant in a high-proof alcohol, most commonly vodka. The THC dissolves into the alcohol resulting in a dark green or brown liquid. Sugar is often also dissolved in the alcohol to mask the extremely bitter taste of the dissolved cannabinoids.

[edit] Preparation

Green Dragon is a method for extracting the active ingredients found in cannabis buds. These chemicals, mainly tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, are insoluble in water, but much more soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol. In addition, the chemicals responsible for the bitter and "grassy" taste of cannabis buds are insoluble in alcohol, but more soluble in water. The best results are obtained by using an extremely concentrated alcohol, such as vodka.
There are two methods for extracting the cannabinoids from the buds. The first involves heating the alcohol to improve its power as a solvent. The cannabis buds are stewed in about 25cl of spirit, preferably heated in a water bath to reduce the possibility (probability, in the case of heating high-proof alcohols such as Everclear) of ignition of the alcohol vapours. The temperature of the spirit should be maintained below the boiling point of ethanol (78.4º C) to prevent the buildup of fumes. The majority of the soluble cannabinoids will be extracted by this method after about 20 minutes of heating.
The second method, which is considerably more low-tech, involves leaving cannabis buds, leaves, stems, and seeds in the spirit for several weeks or months. Over time the cannabinoids will leach from the plant matter in much the same way as in the heating method. It is common to simply open a new bottle of spirit, poke several cannabis buds into the bottle (it may be necessary to pour off or drink some of the spirit first) and reseal. The bottle must be kept tightly sealed to prevent the alcohol evaporating from the spirit. The bottle must be kept in a dark place because tetrahydrocannabinol decomposes under the influence of light.
There is some evidence to suggest that baking the dry buds and leaves prior to adding them to the alcohol in either method increases the potency of the resulting preparation[1][2]. This is because the baking process converts insoluble tetrahydrocannabinol acids into soluble THC (see decarboxylation).

[edit] Uses

Although Green Dragon can be consumed neat, it is more often served mixed with other drinks, such as soft drinks, flavored waters and vanilla extract. A popular [3][4] recipe involves mixing 3 parts lemon-lime soda, 1 part Green Dragon and a dash of honey or sugar.
