Would heating this mixture make it more effective?
What is the shelf life of this tincture?

Great post chock full of info, thanks.

Do you use dry buds or wet buds and do you know what the difference may be?

Cheers!

where do you get a pro food press? Do you ever use BHO instead of budz??

I have a bottle of Glycerin ganja drops. Its great stuff. I usually take 3 dropers in a cup of hot tea. Cant taste it at all!! Most edibles upset my stomach but these drops dont at all. It usually takes about an hr kick in and last about 5 hrs. Its a very strong body high " kills my back pain" and very relaxing melt into the couch feeling.

Sounds nice - I recently stopped smoking tobacco and would like to reserve smoking at all for special occasions. Maybe I should try it.

HAHAHA! awesome shot of the oreo's in the background! damn i love me some oreo's.

i'm totally with you on the upset stomach. for me it feels like a tube of sandpaper running through me. an acupuncture friend of mine says that cannabis, when ingested acts as a natural laxative and that could be what is causing my discomfort. even more so if you don't have a problem with constipation, otherwise if you have a problem with constipation it possibly won't cause such an issue.

either way the tincture does not seem to effect me the same way as other breaded edibles. i dig the high, it's very comfortable for me and does not make me self conscious that i smell like weed.

Thanks so much,

alright, well back to my original question. i really couldn't find anything with the proper ratios, so i decided to give it a stab, and see what happens. i added about 3.7g of kief in a small glass jar that i believe will hold 4 fl. oz. filled it up to the neck with glycerin and have it sittin' on my baseboard heater which is currently around 132F. i've been shakin' it in the am/pm (sometimes in the middle of the day too ) and i'm going to do this for 5 weeks.

i may have used too much kief, but i'm tired of having to drink 1/4 fl. oz. to just start feeling the effects. i'd rather have something that only takes a couple droppers... so we'll see what we gonna see. in the pics attached you can see the kief separated and in the other all mixed up. before i get ready to use what i make in 5 weeks i'm going to see if i can skim off what has separated, put it in another jar and see if i can pull out any more.



If anyone has ideas or other recommendations, let me know.

THC degrades with light, so I recommend keeping it in a dark place, brown bag, or brown jars... nice experiment!

thanks, good call. i was reading around when i was preparing this setup and ran across something called sunshine tincture, but don't recall where they said to use a brown jar so i was on the fence about that ( i believe they used a clear mason jar). didn't know if it was more in terms of long term storage, after the 5 weeks... but i have seen some people comment about that before. i guess i was too impatient about wanting to get it started. imo 5 weeks is worth the wait.

much appreciated, i think i'll grab some black electrical tape and wrap it up to keep the light out
