Tincture

10.5g Flowers
30ml ethanol
150ml Vegetable Glycerin

Grind flowers
Decarb flowers @ 275 degrees for 20 min
Add 30ml ethanol to mason jar
Add 10.5g decarbed flowers to mason jar
Close jar with mini reflux top
Place in 175 degree water bath
Let go through refluxing for 30 min
Add 150ml Vegetable Glycerin

Now how long should I let this sit in the glycerin for? I want to let it sit at or below room temperature while it cures. The whole point of the ethanol refluxing is to speed up the time on the glycerin extraction. Any guesses? Am I looking at days?, weeks?

Strain and press tincture after curing
Store in cobalt blue dropper bottles

The End

it smells green! What about heating the glycerin to 175 degrees to evaporate the alcohol out then replacing the lost volume with more glycerin? I have it curing now and it already looks fully extracted. I'm going to put a slide under the microscope to see where I'm at. It's been less then 24 hours.

Fadedawg, what do you think about my method? My issue is my patient is alcohol sensitive (we think) but can't wait 60 days for a cold extraction right now. We are kind of going through a trial and error phase. I gave her two tinctures already. One glycerin, the other ethanol. The glycerin was a 60 day, non decarbed, cold extraction. The ethanol was a decarbed cold extraction. She did not like the way the ethanol made her feel. So now we are trying a decarbed glycerin. Depending on if she likes this one or not I will be deciding to make one or the other for her. Next batch of medicine will be more planned out and consistent based on her feedback.

Once the chlorophyll is in the glycerin, it is there for the duration and there are limits to how potent you can make glycerin tincture. If she doesn't like the alcohol buzz, you might consider Trying HS Oil, which has no alcohol or glycerin in it. The straight oil is just dilluted with coconut oil, cinnamon, and myrrh, which leaves it highly potent and tasty enough to be used sublingually.

You could decarb the cannabis, and do a hot glycerin extraction. It is ready as soon as 3 hours or as long as overnight.

Good point! Hot extraction works faster and can be made more potent, though instead of a fanciful melee of flavors going in all directions like wild honey or cold glycerin extraction, it will taste like a blended soup of those flavors.
