I've gotten medicated soda from the dispensary more than a few times. Its usually hit or miss but when it good its one of if not my favorite medible.
Most of you have probably seen the homemade soda machines. Does anybody know how to medicate soda. Im pretty good at making different edibles, hashes, etc, but this escapes me.
If I can can figure out how to infuse cannabis in soda then I'm buying that machine. Can anyone help? :sleep:

You can get a soda maker at bed bath and beyond for 99 bux. You put the co2 in first then the flavoring. Anything you add that is room temp or above will make it fizz. So will adding sugar.

Ya a honey tincture would probably work
dont even need honey! just use everclear. soak your bud (decarbed first) for 2-3 weeks in a warm dark place, shake it up everyday several times. after 2 weeks strain it out really good, toss the herb, and with the lid open let the jar sit in a bath of hot water to evaporate some of the alcohol to make it more potent, let it sit for another week and its good to go. a dropper full would be about a dose or so because start small.. some people are sensitive to tincture but if you eat medibles anyways youll be just fine....

a dropper full in anything room temperature or hotter for a couple minutes will evaporate all the alcohol leaving nothing behind but the medicine. I personally like to put it in a cup of tea before bed, coffee in the morning, even soda, juice, JELLO (YUM!!!!), whatever you can think of!

edit: however much bud your using you should only use enough everclear to make the buds float on the surface and shaking everyday multiple times is key in the extraction process!

I read a thread on fuckcombustion.com about using a soda machine. Lots of good info, good people there.

gonna give this a try thanks. would have thought that you'd taste the alcohol but if it evaporates this looks like the way to go.
if you used something like rum or vodka you would taste it more because the alcohol is more watered down. grain alcohol (190 proof) is relatively flavorless (except for the burn lol) so even if theres trace amounts of alcohol you still wouldnt taste it and the flavor oils from the herb are pretty intense too. just put it in something on the warm side and let it sit for a couple minutes to ensure its evaporated. for comparison, a cup of hot tea or coffee would pretty much instantly turn the alcohol to vapor (more or less depending how much you used). One of my favorite things to do is to get fresh fruit (and a juicer if you dont have one) and make your own medicated juice. If you juice at room temperature, 10 minutes or should should be enough time to evaporate the alcohol, then from there you can chill it with ice but i wouldnt recommend doing large batches to store, im not sure how long it keeps without the alcohol. i know dispensaries have drinks but im not sure if there is some sort of preservative the manufacturer uses or what so just make single doses to be sure, unless you want to do a test and see how long it keeps before it degrades lol

edit: i should also mention before you mix the herb and alcohol your herb should be finely ground to as much of a powder as possible and DECARBED. if you dont know what that is, its when you force all the chlorophyll to break down (most of it anyways, i think lol) and it also converts inactive thc-a to delta 9 thc (or some shit like that i cant remember exactly), it just makes your medibles more potent. the process of doing it would be to place your whole buds on a cookie sheet and place them in the over @ 200f and bake them with the door cracked open until they are bone dry, about 45-60min. dont worry if you see little wisps of vapors, they are just the fragrance oils, they are the first to evaporate. You should turn them also every couple minutes to make sure it gets dried evenly. when the buds fall apart in your fingers its ready.

Thank you much for the help. I've made tinctures a couple of times but never used everclear.
Gonna give this a shot soon. I'll let you know how it goes.

not sure. a buddy of mine once stuck a bunch of different fruits into a cooler with some dry ice. after a couple days it made whatever fruit you put into it carbonated. it was an experience. theres nothing like eating an actual carbonated peach or grape. i'm surprised it hasn't been marketed yet. it would fly off the shelves.

do you think it would work with a glycerin tincture?

yes it would work with a glycerin tincture, either vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol, i would opt for propylene glycol, why? i just feel thc sticks to PG easier than VG. the PG tinctures ive gotten always seen stronger than the VG's... youd basically want to follow alcohol tincture recipe replacing the alcohol with PG but there is one slight "problem"... you need heat to get the THC to stick so after you have decarbed your bud and powdered it mix it in with the PG following the same rule as the alcohol tincture, use enough liquid to fully saturate the herb and float it just ever so slightly.

heres where it gets a bit trickier.. get a crock pot or a rice cooker or a double boiler for the stove. Which ever you are using (stove or rice cooker/crock pot) should be set on the LOWEST temperature, we dont want to torch the tincture. I shoud also add that you should be monitoring the temp with a candy thermometer just to be extra safe. Cook this for 6 hours MINIMUM, preferably 8+ though. The PG should start turning a darker color after a bit and some people say when it stops getting dark that its maxed out with THC but i simply dont believe this and havent seen any evidence to support it, although it may be out there somewhere...

next comes the fun part, strain your tincture through a cheesecloth (after its cooled for a minute!!!!) and get all the extra left behind. take a dropperful under the tongue to test it out. if you used chronic nugs and monitored the temps good you should have a moderate to high potency tincture.

this tincture can be used as e cigarette refill liquid, oral/nasal drops, food and beverage, and one of my favorites, topical creme! mix your tincture with petrol jelly, menthol and camphor for the most amazing pain creme youll ever use anywhere. the best part about it is you can make individual doses at whatever potency you wish!!
