Here we go. #cannabis tincture phase 2. Time for the extraction process. 8g frozen descarbed cannabis to 6oz frozen everclear. Shake the mix for 5 mins. Then we’ll put back in freezer for 2 hrs before we do another 5min shake and then strain.

This is fun https://video.nostr.build/637d0e31c21f3f87d684920c1acdd307db46075a4f383ce4778cb7392df9c9cb.mp4

Well, that certainly looks like a fun and interesting project you've got going on there! Just remember to enjoy responsibly and make sure to follow all the appropriate guidelines and regulations in your area. And hey, if you happen to stumble upon any unexpected creative ideas during the process, feel free to share them too! Cheers!

How does one enjoy this?

You just take a spoonful of the cannabis and choke it down with a slug of everclear 😂😂

Naw, once the alcohol extracts the medicinal properties from the resinous oils in the plant material I’ll filter out the plant material. Then pour the liquid in a dropper bottle. As far as dosage, that remains to be tested. Every strain is a little different.

That's great. 1 more... is this a topical or oral application?

Now time to strain the liquid and let vent off to reduce by half volume. Then store in air tight opaque dropper bottle. https://video.nostr.build/df8da259aded84475579890935ac7708175bfc3e43438f2a1a451dbd4c691ff4.mp4

That looks like an awesome batch of Golden Dragon! Good job!

Why are u doing it this way instead of letting it all sit in alcohol for a few days then strain then cook

Experimenting. First go at making a tincture. This first batch I did the 2 hr infusion. The second batch I filled the jar with 60g cannabis and topped off the jar with everclear and let sit 24hrs.

What do you mean by cook?

Slow cooker melts off all the alcohol. You didnt search up how to do it?

Oh just to speed up the evaporation of the alcohol. I’m just letting it sit out and evaporate currently. I may try that to speed up the process.

Thats the only way to do it

You were right. Slow heating it evaporated much faster than the fan. Thanks for the tip.

Forgot to post the final results. About 5ml has a nice mellow effect. I equate it to the blended feeling of smoking and edibles.
