So I have a little bit of bud left (about an oz) and I would like to try some of the Alcohol Tincture in a squeeze bottle. I am going to use the instructions that were posted here a little while back and the only thing I really need to know is, is it going to be worth it using just an oz of schwag?

I think I am going to try it with my extra leaf, stems and a little bud using this method tonight. Overall I have about 2 oz of green leaf trimmings and about 1/8th oz schawg and another 1/8th oz stems and seeds. Also I am wondering if I should get a high proof flavored alcohol so there is still a little flavor. Maybe a pineapple rum....
Well I followed the recipe and did the 3 to 1 ratio on liquor to leaf. I did go ahead and leave it on at 150-170 for close to an hour. Right now I have it strained and it smells soooooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!!! I put it outside to cool off but it is like florescent green. I am really almost scared to try the stuff.....

while tell me how it works lol
BAD BAD BAD. It was liquid chlorophyll that tasted like shit flavored vodka even after an hour of heating it. I took an entire dropper full (like 6 drops) and didn't feel anything at all the rest of the night.
I used about an oz and a half of GREEN leaf. I roughly rolled that up as best I could and chopped it as fine as I could with my chef knife. I then took that into my coffee grinder and it looked like chopped up grass.
I really think I should have dried it. I am going to make some oil and some pills with my next batch.

damn that sucks
do you think there is any difference between heating up the ganja and alcohol or just letting it sit for a long time instead of heating it?
im guessing the method that takes longer would work a little better?

I am thinking so too but the big problem is where does all that chlorophyll go? The leaves had been cut anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 hours before I started and kept in a ziplock bag in a dark, cool place.
Honestly the stuff has the look of green motor oil. If I get time I will post some pics of what I have left. It WREAKS of Vodka and that is the last thing I wanted.
2 big mistakes were not doing a small batch first, and using too weak alcohol (I got proof and % mixed up).
