Anybody have a reliable formula for making a spray-able liquid?

[Slim Pickens]

I'd like to come up with a workable formula for making a spray-able tincture.Something that I could adjust for potency and use in a small bottle with an atomizer.I would like to use it for sublingual administration,but don't have a clue as to what to use or a formula to begin with.I'd be a little nervous trying a green dragon formulation because of the potential for irritation due to the high test alcohol.

Anybody have info on how to do this?

I am wondering the same. Seen a few different products but only tried can amidst.

You can boil off most of the alcohol and add some water or a vegetable oil back.

A 50% mix is still runny and 50% mixture of 190 proof and leaves the 190 proof at only 95 proof. Sipping whiskey is around 80 proof.

Thanks for the good idea GW.I wonder if a formulation could be devised that would allow someone to directly inhale it for it's bronchodilator effect.?It seems I read somewhere that getting water in your lungs is bad news...but maybe that was related to people who had almost drowned and had larger amounts or water in their lungs...and I suppose a single inhalation of tincture would have minimal water in it anyway.

Very interesting..

On the subject, how would one go about making a 'canna cough syrup' so to speak...? I would be using winterized bho..

I've been curious for a while now that I see them popping up at dispensaries..

Boil off all of the alcohol. URRY last bit. Scrape up oil. Or as you stated, just use winterized BHO that you have allready completely purged the alcohol out of. Heat in a water bath and add just a lil bit of LIQUID coconut oil.MCT oil (not the stuff that is solid at room temp). You want to Add about 10-12 ml per gram of oil. Then bake for one hour at 220, freeze for 24 hours, and then bake for 220 for another hour. The final product is perfect for a spray or to fill a capsule.

Not sure I would recommend an ethanol spray for bronchial dilator.

I'll ask our Pharm D what menstruum is typically used for that purpose.

 

[MrManDead]

why inhale it like that? I think using it as described via capsule or sublingual drops with GW'sholy anointed oil, or my above variation will work fine as a bronchial dilator.

I have made a Glycerin tincture that is spray able. I make Glycerin tincture and dilute the Glycerin with a 20 - 25 % Distilled water and 75 - 80 % Glycerin mix ( you can add flavors ). You will end up with a spray able tincture or breath spray depending on flavors.

That's why I asked you.I don't know myself,and the last thing I need is more problems.Lol

If it is effective,then there is no need.I don't know if it would be more effective,or have a faster onset.Just a hair brained idea.

I have alcohol I can use already.I imagine that Glycerin is available here,I would have to do a thorough search.I don't know much about any new techniques to make Glycerin tincs,but I thought that I read that Glycern tincs took quite a while to make.30 days of turning in a jar,right?.I'm not against it,just that it takes a while to do as I understand it...maybe I should search glycerin recipes here..maybe I am not up to date.

Thanks to all for the help and advice.

If you use heat with glycerin it can be done in 24 hours.

green dragon and a tampon...next problem


edit
looked up sublingual...never mind

I found an instructable at Skunkpharm about Glycerin extraction.It mentioned that heating doesn't do any favors for the Terpines..and that isn't what I want to accomplish.I will try some Green Dragon,and at the same time a cold Glycerin extraction...(shaken,not stirred).

Appreciate the suggestion of GD,but the rest of the response wasn't really necessary...or called for.

Slim, look up my sublingual qwet elixir thread under cooking with cannabis. Im off all my asthma meds since beginning a daily regiment

[FONT=&quot]"Hi Dr. Kate![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]One of the IC Mag denizens is researching menstruums for a cannabis bronchial spray. Could you share what is typically used for that application, as well as any insights and caveats?"[/FONT]

If you want a sublingual spray I would use BHO in MCT oil. MCT oil is perfect for sublingual use and I just tested it in a spray bottle and it isn't too thick to spray. Much better than alcohol or glycerine.

I wish you had 50posts.I'd be interested to hear more about being off your asthma meds.

Sooner or later,you'll reach that magic number.

 

[MrManDead]

yeah, I will work on it. In the event I have bronchitis (still occurs 3 to 8 times a year) I need to use inhalers and occasionally prednisone. But other than that, I take the elixir every day. It certainly is a good way to open up the lungs. It works longer than conventional meds, but not quite as well for immediate relief. It's more like a long term thing that, as long as you maintain a baseline, is good. Certainly no smoking or vaping goes hand in hand with this.

yes MCT oil for the win. it works much more as a sublingual than other oils, even normal coconut oil. I also add 1 teaspoon of soy lecithin to every 30 ml mct oil/ 3.5 grams hash oil.

not to mention the alcohol burn is horrid.
