Quick update: I tried the shortbread cookie that I had dropped the 1mL of GD on and let dry. The effect was perfect. The cookie tasted fine (but definitely unusual) and my stomach didn't complain at all. The only drawback, if I can call it that, is that the effect took longer to come on. With GD it's about 30min; with the cookie (as with other edibles) it's more like 60min.

This is great - my GD is still useful and I can easily whip up a batch of as many cookies I need.

It also inspired me to try something else: I still like the idea of canna-chocolates (chocolannabis? ), but the previous method I used was too complex. What I'm trying this time is using an exacto knife to hollow out a mint truffle, filling it with GD, letting the alcohol evaporate, then refilling in the hole with the carved out chocolate. Presto: instant single dosage cannabis mint chocolates!

I'll post again to let folks know how this works. I haven't eaten one yet but I see no reason why it shouldn't have the same effect as the cookie.

I just stumbled upon a procedure for cleaning up Green Dragon that seems like it would work:

- Mix nasty Green Dragon with water
- Heat to 173F to boil off the alcohol (but not the water)

As THC is not soluble in water, it apparently drops out of the solution as oil. All the nasty stuff (chlorophyll, etc.) stays dissolved in the water.

- pour (or draw) off the water
- redissolve the oil in ethanol for a "cleaner" Green Dragon

I have not tried this, but I will give it a shot. If anyone has already done this I'd love to hear how it turned out.

So far the best results: Debcarb at 180C, forget the weed in the oven so it stinks up the whole house and some of the weed has a brown tone, dump it in Everclear and land it stand for about 3hours, boil off most of the alchohol (300ml becomes 100 ml).

5ml taken 20 hours ago and I´m still slightly buzzed which is a new experience.

The weed was kieffed quality bud, Mossy´s Jem.

Hey StinkyGreen, I've done similar. Hexane added to the alcohol/water mix will pull the THC out and leave all the nasties behind. Hexane boils a bit lower than alcohol too. Add 10:1 hexane:THC. 2 grams of THC in the mix would need 20 grams (6 tsp) hexane. Use a skinny glass, the hexane/THC will float on top of the alcohol/water. Invert gently 5 or 6 times and let sit for 20 minutes. Skim off the good stuff or pour SLOWLY over a large plate, the liquid follows the side of the glass and comes off the bottom in a crooked stream. A small amount of ick is almost unavoidable but too dilute to hurt. Define 'small'. Gentle heat will evaporate the hexane leaving BHO. I've made both and and any difference has been due my care or lack of care.

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Substitute a teaspoon of butter with a teaspoon of oil for 24 Toll House cookies. Nothing but chocolate through and through.

I had the same problem with my GD, it tastes pretty vile... 85% Aiguaardiente Moonshine Hooch...


The cure is Sugar, loads of it.... mix in Sugar to almost 75% of the volume of your GD, shake and shake it till it all dissolves, you now have the finest GD liqueur that tastes perfect, if a little sweet.

To water it down, I found plain water sent it milky, but distilled water did dilute it with out sending it milky.

I might try the sugar thing...

I have 200ml that has 10g of quiso, and 2g of bho in it....nasty... But drinking a capfull sure does mess you right up.

If it's concentrated enough, just use gelcaps. Use a medicine dropper to put the green dragon into an empty capsule, put the top back on the capsule, and swallow with a drink. You don't taste it at all that way. The 00 capsules hold about a milliliter. The 000 caps hold a little more.

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?

You could mix it with sugar, just enough to make a slush then bake at a low heat until the alcohol evaporates

Never mind I saw that you thought pf that method already

[sourpuss]

Thinking water cure, then dry, then soak for a few hours.... would a nice vodka 80 proof work? 40 percent... meaning to try this for a while....
