Help with consuming/converting Green Dragon
I managed to make some Green Dragon that I'm very happy with in terms of the quality of the high. My technique was somewhat accidental: fill a mason jar with fully cured buds (Satori), fill the jar with pure (94%) ethanol, boil (sealed) in a water bath for 30 mins, put it away in a dark cupboard to cool. Forget about it. Find it about a year later. Filter the alcohol through a coffee filter.
1mL of this stuff sends me straight to my ideal happy place for about 5-6 hrs. It's the best high I've experienced in ingest-able form. The problem is that it tastes really, really awful. I can seriously barely drink it. I've tried mixing it into all kinds of different liquids but nothing seems to mask the vileness. It also seems to upset my stomach. So I'm stuck with a whole bottle of inaccessible goodness. Any ideas for how I can turn it into something more palatable without destroying the nature of the high? |

I'd be interested in suggestions also
I made some green dragon with everclear. Put one eyedropperfull with a can of coke, and it was still the most god awful tasting stuff I ever had. I think next time(yeah I'm gonna do it again) I'm gonna make it with glycerine .(sp)

I´ve made GD a few times and the best mix is with freshly pressed orange juice, 1part GD to 10 parts OJ. Tastes a bit like grapefruitjuice. Another nice mix is with Amaretto, 1 part GD to 3 parts Amaretto.

I've tried OJ, sodas, fruit juices, coffee ... all of them were disgusting. The best luck I had was with Creme de Menthe liqueur. I imagine Amaretto would be good too - thanks for the suggestion.
What I'd really like to do is see if I can turn this undrinkable elixir into something better. For example: 1. Evaporate 1ml doses, scrape up the residue, and mix it with powdered sugar and cocoa to make something edible. 2. Mix 1ml doses into cookie batter and bake the cookies to evaporate the alcohol 2. Boil the GD with oil and water. Presumably the water will absorb the nasty stuff, and the oil will absorb the THC/good stuff. Discard the water. I'm probably just going to try each of these methods and see what works, but I thought it was worth asking to see if anyone had successfully done something like this before. |

Double boil it to evaporate most of the alcohol, you should end up with some pretty good extract that can be mixed with canola oil to use in recipes that have a good cover flavor.
Should be very similar to QWISO. |

Overkill is under-rated.

Make qwiso, then dissolve that in any booze you want. nearly zero taste and much more potent. I wont even touch regukar green dragon, its just got far too much contaminants in it and tastes awful.

I just mix it with a small glass of fruit juice and slam it like you would a shot of tequila. Try not to taste it. Chase it with another small glass of fruit juice.

Update
I did some experimenting this weekend:
1) I evaporated 1mL of GD on a plate, mixed the residue with cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and butter, and then mixed it with a crushed chocolate mint truffle. The result looks and smells just like a chocolate mint. This was a fair bit of work, but I absolutely love the idea of canna-chocolates. 2) I dropped 1mL onto a store bought shortbread cookie and let the alcohol evaporate. It looks/smells perfectly edible. This required the least effort and would be a great way to quickly make edibles. 3) I made some cookie dough, added 1mL of GD to a blob of it, mixed it well, and baked it into a cookie. This was easier than making cookies with bud butter, plus has the advantage of strict dosage control. Each of these turned out really well. I haven't had a chance to eat any of them yet to test the high, but I'm hopeful. I'll post the results after I get a chance to consume them. |
