I'd start with one dropper full and if 30 mins goes by and you dont feel the dragon on your back dropper full again... 1-4 droppers for any second time user...with normal green dragon recipe
 
will do. i like my edibles so i wont be rushing to add more if it doesnt come on quickly, ive learned my lesson in the past.
the droppers are both the same just ones in a huge bottle i used caps off other things is all, so should be uniform wherever i take it from anyway.
ill try a dropper and report back later or tomorrow anyway. my tolerance is down compared to usual so it might be strong for me but i like strong.

yeh thought if im doing it might aswell chuck some up for people. i could find very little around the internet myself.
tastes like spicey grass but nice compared to what i imaged. thats pure, having it in a coke
 
I like it in milkshakes, jello/jello shooters (put amount of drops desired in the shot glass with the jello and stir it with a tooth pick or something then cool it)
 
yeh ill have to try it in something fatty. milshake sounds best. didnt get too much off one dropper anyway so ill test again tomorrow. does what you put it in make a difference? i assumed because it is in alcohol it wouldnt need to rely on fat content etc. this is probably wrong though.
 
TBM Im getting ready to do an alcohol tincture. with flavoring the tincture do you just mix the two alcohols(everclear and Orange vodka) when you are boiling it off? I have made Glycerine tinctures I want to move on to the alcohol tincture. If I add glycerine when would I need to add it?
Thanks
 
trying again with something fatty tonight anyway, i just assumed since its ok sublingually (which i tried too) that it wouldnt need the fat and that the alcohol basicly was the replacement and acted in the same way. i was assuming too much anyway
 
TBM,
Since it the THC is fat soluble aren't you losing some by not making/cooking the tincture with some sort of fat?
I am sort of miserly when it come to getting every little bit out of my cannabis, so I want to optimize my extraction to get the most I can out of it.
And I don't have the bud or resources to experiment and fail.
 
first time..be careful

just tried this tincture recipe and everything was going good until the mason jar broke...not sure if it was cracked already..so be careful and inspect your jar..also was wondering if the pot of water with the mixture is still usable..what should i do?

id use pyrex as id say its more meant for the temps involved
 
I have made alch tinctures before, but this time i'm going to try to spray it over buds to make honey buds.

i'm using everclear as the carrier.
is there a particularly good way to do this?

i figured i would just reduce the tincture and use a spray botttle or something to get it evenly on the buds
