My mother suffers from fibromyalgia along with intense nausea and i was thinking of making her a tincture out of plain kief in order to reduce the pungent taste that may upset her stomach. My question is how much kief should i use in my tincture and i need it soon so i plan on using the heating method. how long should i heat the mixture for and should i do it with the mason jar lid on or off? Also do i need to strain the Kief tincture? Since its just trichomes would it not just disintegrate within the alcohol? if i do need to strain the kief can i use it to make hash? or is it useless then. I apologize for so many questions within one thread and thank anyone who's willing to shed some light on them for me.

You will need to decarboxylate the kif first, in a 292F oven for about 7 minutes, and then boil it in 190 proof ethanol for about thirty minutes, before straining out the stalks, sheaths and disc cellulose.

You can evaporate off some of the alcohol to increase potency, or use as is.

The credit for the graph goes to Jump 117 on ICM forum. Perhaps his close friend Mig Pilot can read the caption at the bottom and tell us his source.

This chart was published in an article of forensic researchers from Hungary.

G.O. Joe found it in Journal of Chromatography, 520 (1990) 339-347 and quoted as pdf in ICMag thread «UNDERSTANDING CANNABINOIDS”.

In the original, the schedule is not well read, I redrew it anew, added Fahrenheit and line with translation into Russian.

In edited form graph was originally published in my thread about Absolute Amber and spread from there to many thematic sites.
