I think I just developed an "instant tincture" recipe...anyone wanna try this too?

So I ground up about a 10th of an ounce in my grinder...mostly because I didn't want to waste too much if I screwed up.

Took the weed and put it into a empty pickle relish jar with a lid...added enough151 proof Graves extra fine grain alcohol to cover the pot and then a little more so that all of the weed was suspended in the solution without much space between the little bits.

Stirred/agitated it CONSTANTLY for an hour. Thought of this when I was watching paint get stirred at the store.

Then I put about 2 inches of water in a small pot and brought it to a boil.

Once boiling, I held the top of the pickle relish jar with my hands...(you may want to use a towel but all you want to do is stir the boiling water with the jar so that the contents of the jar are moving...just swirling it around gently so you dont lose bits to the wall sides of the jar.
I have an electric stove and I won't assume everyone here is smart so don't do this over an open flame ok?

I did this on and off. When I saw movement and just the very beginnings of a little movement I pulled it back out of the water and kept stirring...

I did this for about 15 minutes...you will start smelling it and when you can start smelling it strong STOP. Maybe you can go longer but I did it for the 15.

I strained my solution through a cloth and into a dropper bottle.

I gotta say I love weed but I cant keep smoking like I do. Unfortunatley the vaporizer is too slow when I need a quick fix. Eating baked goods gets old...

This works great! I started slow with just 1 drop under the tongue. The taste is good to me. You can definitley taste the pot (my wife smelled it on my breath strong) but the effect was almost immediate for me! I think you need to use the good shit but DAMN....I love this stuff! A strong buzz that reminds me of good pot brownies but a lot faster.

I took a total of 2 drops under the tongue so far and that was an hour ago and I am still feeling good...I could definitely use another drop but dude...I'm talking DROPS....just drops!

I like that "bang for my buck".

I think a lot more people should try tinctures. You hardly hear anyone talking them up. It's not as sociable to sit with a dripper as much as a j but then again you can take this ANYWHERE you go. Can you say that about smoking it?

BTW, in case it's brought up I am not a rookie smoker.

I go through almost 3 oz's a month. I only smoke the good shit. I can handle a high very well. And it is true that my tolerance level is pretty high because I am a chronic user.

Just some background for the haters.

im addicted to tincs or "green Dragon"


but its been messing up my tolerance bad. Like I have to take shots of my tinc to get fucked up

but I like getting retarded off of it


tonight I will be taking 3 shots. Each shot has 1 gram of primo bud dissolved in it.

so literally we take grams at a time.


i used to only need 1 gram worth to go to the moon but now I take 2 grams worth

but tonight im going to take 3 shots

ill be a level 3 dragon slayer

What it sounds like to me is you made something like hash oil in a way but more like more of a hash liquid and with something of a different process.

The alcohol and stirring/shaking/agitating knocked the trichome heads off into the liquid just like stirring/agitating would do with ice and water in bugglebags or other forms of stripping trichome-heads in other types of hash production.
　
I just wonder what good, or possible harm the heating part did. As I am sure you know that at temperatures above 80 degrees THC begins to break down so I have to wonder if that step could just be skipped because it might not be a plus.

heating the alcahol will make the thc bond to it much faster if you just did it at room temp it would take 2 months of shaking it every day

you also are supposed to decarb your weed in the oven first

you grind up the weed to dust and put it in the oven at 225 deg f for 1 hour

then you cook it in the everclear in a jar in a pot of water and let it boil a little

let it boil for 30 min and then its ready to drink

mix in 50% water into it first or it will burn you throat if you drink it

Since heat breaks down THC, anything over 80 degrees, I have to wonder what 225 degrees for one hour does to THC?

I cannot believe there is an actual bonding of THC and alcohol. I blending I could accept but a bonding is a joining together like some sort of chemical joining or fusion or welding of two or more things. Then even if there were a blending of actual THC and not just the blending of trichome-heads like it is, the trichome-heads would all have to be broken to release the THC held inside to then blend or "bond" with the alcohol.

I wonder how that witches brew would work with a little good ole’ fashioned North Carolina moonshine?

Yeah the higher the alcohol content the better but we have rules here in Florida so 151 is it.

Also, I forgot about the oven thing! I was afraid of THC degradation...somewhere on here TODAY I read a post about taking the pot in the oven to 325 for 5 minutes but not to 350? (maybe a little higher, I forgot)...someone mentioned that the higher temp in the 350 range or higher is bad....you mention 80? is that celsius you are referring to? I would imagine..

it would work real good, but be carful, this shit packs a punch the first time i did it. I took too much and felt like I was gonna die, it can give you bad panic if you take too much so just take a little bit and increase as you feel it



canabinoids bigin vaporizing at 260 deg f

thc will vaporize at 380 deg f


but like if you put it in the oven for 1 hour like I said and pack a bowl of it

your weed is actually a little stronger cuz the heat turns THCA into THC

THCA cannot be absorbed by humans so it must turn into THC

this process happens in cureing but it takes months thats why they say your weed will be stronger after a good cure.

When you say let the everclear boil a little do you mean that bubbles coming up from the jar bottom does not indicate that the solution will explode/ignite?

What about that? What would it take to make 151 rum explode?...ignite WITHOUT AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK?

Thanks

very intresting

What does de-carbing do to the pot? What's the purpose of cooking the pot in the oven OTHER than to turn THCA into THC? Is that it?

We have laws here in N.C. too about alcohol but don’t pay them much mind.


Over 80 degrees F. THC begins to break down. Now it is not like at 81 degrees it falls apart but that is when the degradation begins and the higher the temperature and the longer the exposure to it the more THC there will be lost.

has anyone looked at the tincture under a scope? Got pics?

you put the everclear and your decarbed weed into a mason jar, put this mason jar in a pot of water that is just about to boil. the everclear will boil at around 160 deg f which is slightly below the boiling point of water


its dangerous no doubt, I do mine on a gas stove too

but as long as you have ventalation and you dont spill the everclear on the stove you wont have a fire.


i did it once and had a fire. the water was boiling too hard and i had the jar proped up on somthing. the boiling tipped the jar and about 12 oz of ever clear spilled onto the flames of my gas stove.

However I was ready, you always sit and watch it never leave it there.

I also have fire extinguisher at the ready

the flames shot up above my stove licking my microwave and I freaked out and panicingly started clawing for the fire extingusher which was under a bunch of shit. by the time I got hold of it all the everclear had burned away in a matter of seconds and the fire was out except for in the pot. so I just put the lid on the pot to put the rest of the fire out and morned the loss of 5 grams of primo bud


and yes the purpose of decarbing is to turn the THCA to THC

if you skip this step your shit will be way less potent than it should be and your wasting weed.

do not put it in the oven as they say at 325 f this is way too high


after doing a great deal of research I found that active ingridiants will vaporize starting at 260 F and you wanna keep all the good stuff in there

thats why you do it at a much lower temp 225 f but for much longer, 1 hour at 225 f instead of 5 min at 325 f


I proved this to be strongest way to make it also through expiriments on myself

it doesn't bond. what happens is, the thc is activated through decarboxylization, then it is absorbed into the alcohol through solubility.

though you're supposed to do the decarboxylization process before you absorb it into the alcohol, I believe you can do these both in one process as the original poster did.

good job OP.
