ReikoX's Workshop 2017

Interesting decarb method. I'm not sure how effective it is though. The temp is a tad too high and the duration is a too short. But you do get high twice!

I like to decarb at 115°C (240°F) for 40 minutes. You should try PsychedelicSam's Green Dragon recipe, you'll like it.

I make my Green Dragon with 8 grams of cannabis and end up with 2 ounces (60 ml) of tincture. That usually comes out to a concentration of 24 mg/ml. My dose is 0.5-1.0 ml so 60-120 doses. That can last me about a month dosing 2-3 times a day. 96 g/year is easily doable.

Great info in the thread!! Any ideea on what concentration of cannabinoids agave or maple syrup will hold? Like how many grams of extracted bud I should transfer per ml of syrup. I am looking for maximum concentration it can hold.

Yeah the alcohol can be a problem with some people. Probably one of the reasons that Prana uses MCT oil.

It is possible to transfer the Green Dragon to other mediums though. Basically you make the Green Dragon then add it to the desired amount of oil. You then heat gently stirring occasionally until you are back to the original volume of oil. This is referred to as a solvent transfer and it evaporates the alcohol leaving the cannabinoids in the oil.

I use this all the time. I have done solvent transfers to agave, corn syrup, coconut oil, olive oil, and sugar. The sugar transfer is amazing! It hits you almost instantly. I like to use the infused sugar and oil in cookies for a double whammy effect. The sugar hits you fast and hard. By the time that wears off, the oil kicks in.

I used to do the whole BadKittySmiles oil procedure and it made good potent butter, but it was inconsistent. The alcohol is a much more efficient solvent, with the solvent transfer you can make the oil much stronger than you could using the oil as the solvent. You can also judge the potency based on serving size. Something I find difficult with traditional oil recipes.

Sorry to rant, I've been into the Green Dragon this morning. 10 drops in my coffee. The alcohol evaporates and all you taste is coffee and a little cannabis! I don't want to post a link to another site, so just Google "psychedelic sam tincture" and you will find his long and epic thread!

Ingesting cannabanoids is a great way to saturate your endocannabanoid system. Do it however works for you. If you have any questions about the Green Dragon and solvent transfers feel free to ask.

this is awesome info!
that idea of transfer didn't cross my mind if it evaporates 100% alcohol it should work for me

sure have a few questions if you dont mind..
any tip @ what C do I have to keep the mix to evaporate 100% alcohol off the mix and for how long?

I use a double boiler, so the boiling water never exceeds 100°C.

on extraction topic how long do I have to keep the buds in alcohol for extraction there are different opinions on this some say 1 min is enough others say for days in fridge etc..

The recipe I use uses a two hour soak in the freezer (see recipe below).

Is 60% alcohol enough for this?

You can do the recipe with 60%, but it requires extra steps and I don't think it will work for the sugar transfer.

and yeah what is sugar transfer /is it just adding some sugar into the oil if yes do I add sugar before green dragon or after or in the middle of process ?/ :O

The sugar transfer relies on the fact that the alcohol doesn't disolve the sugar. The sugar is mixed with the Green Dragon in a bowl, then allowed to evaporate in a baking dish.

thx.
