so, i made some of this about a week ago, i pretty much fallowed the directions from the post, except i used 6g of trim bud and 3 0z of 151....... it cooked down to about 2 oz of green dragon. i put it into two 1oz dropper bottles..... well, yesterday i took one of the bottles to the park with me, dumped the whole bottle into a can of blue monster and chugged it( it tasted like crap btw) and went about playing some ball, that was at about 10 am..... well by 11 i realized i was really fuked up! i mean fuked up like a soup sandwich! it was awesome! a was a very psychedelic high, it seemed to make the trees and sky very vibrantly colored, kinda like how shrooms make things look. i never felt any anxiety or uncomfortable, like i do if i smoke to much, it was just really cool..im gunna bring the other bottle to earth day tomorrow, should be fun! well, i just thought id share my story.... peace, pot, and microdots

Yesterday, I went through the process using 4 grams of good bud and 2 oz of 96° alcohol. As I didn´t find my coffee grinder, I had to chop manually, but the results were good indeed. Me and my wife (I sound like Columbo) took 2 ml. each and we had an incredible 5 hour high, without nausea or paranoia, very clean headed and full of laughing fits. We loved this tincture. In the weekend we will try with 3 ml. each.
Just for the record, since I now have a herpes sprout in my leg, I decided to use the tincture on it. It works wonders! The inflamation went down almost immediately and there is almost no pain. I cannot believe this magical herb is illegal. Bunch of hypocrites...

This is a great recipe for a cannabis tincture that will knock your socks off! I found it somewhere on the web and copied it for my own reference and to share with the world. Something like this should never be buried.

There are a few main points I would like to mention:
First, use alcohol greater than 75% or 150 proof. Anything weaker will only cause disappointment. 94% is best. Here in Canada we can get 94% alcool in Quebec.
Second, use the 200F method because it is easier to control. Both these points are in the text, but it is quite long so they may be missed.
Third, I use 5gr of good bud and 3oz of alcohol


Sit back and absorb the knowledge.................



Enjoy.

Thanks

I've made Green Dragon several times using trim. I've also made it using nothing but sticks and stems from harvested plants. I typically use 3 oz of frosty trim that's been ground in a coffee grinder and 1 liter of Everclear. I bake the trim in the oven for 17 minutes at 275 F. I put the trim in mason jars w/ Everclear and boil in a water bath at 190 F for 45 minutes, then strain it and store in the fridge. Its the strongest edible/mj product I've ever consumed, and everyone else that tries it agrees. Don't sleep on the Green Dragon, it's a beast!

Good GD info here. I had 5ml of my new batch and I´m sooooo stoned. It doesn´t help that we have guests coming at six thirty.

Need to drop that dose to 3ml if I want to be able to function.

Made some (poorly, no pre bake or strain) a few months back. This thread made me break out my last three shots... I intend to be FARKED within the next 20 minutes.

IDK I'm no scientist and I certainly don't have experience with this, but would it be possible to make more of it or "water" it down a little bit, or would that be bad for the product?

This is a cool post. I think I'll try this soon.

1/8th equals roughly 3 grams equals roughly 3/4 of a shot glass if you get my local dankness

An eighth is 3.5 grams of weed and a shot is about 1 ounce of liquid.

I've been experimenting with tinctures quite a bit lately, and I suspect that the reason some people on this and other boards have been unsuccessful with Master Wu's original green dragon recipe is that they're boiling off too much alcohol in the simmer stage. You need to keep the alcohol content as high as possible not just to extract the THC but also to deliver the THC into your bloodstream. The problem is that reducing the liquid by half in the simmer stage drastically lowers the alcohol content, which reduces potency (i.e., bioavailability of THC).

Solution: Try simmering the Everclear and weed mixture in a small bottle or test tube instead of a canning jar. This will decrease the surface area and inhibit evaporation. Or else cover the mouth of the jar lightly with the lid or with foil. It's not necessary to greatly reduce the volume of liquid during the simmer stage, so the starting volume of Everclear should be only slightly more than the amount of tincture you want to end with.
