@KkB The best recipe I have found for glycerin tinctures is https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...t-glycerin-tincture-method.36982/#post-724090

If I use 151 everclear with 1 oz of GG4 that's is strong, how many drops under the tongue did you think I will need? Ballpark, I have good tolerance do edibles so not completely green lol. Never did tincture before tho...

Hard to say, Mcdee. Everyone's different. To get the most potent tincture, you will have to reduce it.
Every new batch, start with 1/2 dropper for 30 minutes to assess the strength and titrate up from there if needed.

Most tinctures I have made take between 1/2 to 2 droppers sublingualy depending on method, strain, my pain levels, etc. I'd say the average between my homemade batches is 3/4-1 dropper. Dispensary products always take 2 or more droppers for me.

Sublingual tincture is nice in that it comes on way faster but lasts almost as long as edibles, so its easy to titrate the dose. I'd say about 10-15 minutes onset for me, and full effects around a half hour.

Don't expect an instant rush like dabbing. Tincture can be very strong, but comes on more slowly.
Some people here put tinctures in their tea instead of sublingual. That would come on more slowly like an edible.

Oh- one more thing. For me, anyways, sublingual tincture raises my tolerance quickly so I only use it for short periods at a time.

Ok, I make coconut oil and I freeze it and eat with a hot drink coffee, hot chocolate whatever and swish with some oil, hold in my mouth and it absorbs some under tongue and then swallow. Hits in like 15-20 mins so I am firmilar with that kinda effect. Just wanted to use little as possible.

@KkB I just pressed 1.3 g of Green Crack, decarbed it with 2 g of vegetable glycerin and then mixed it into 1 oz. of vegetable glycerin. I had to heat it up in boiling water to get it to mix at all and it is not very homogenous. I have some things to do around the house before I can test it. I will post back later with a buzz report.

I am truly a raging alcoholic, so the abstinence is crucial. Can't risk even a slight relapse, so alcohol extracts may not be the route for me personally, but if the other extracts are ingestable, guess I need to learn about other processes.

Are you familiar with Vegetable Glycerin?

There's a few extraction methods I use with VG. Hot and cold.

You can get a Magical Butter machine or use a crock pot but you want to control the temperature. So if you do hot you don't want to go over 190 degrees (I'll double check but I'm positive that's it. Either 160 or 190. Pretty positive it's 190 degrees Fahrenheit) for 4 hours. I do about 1 part trim/popcorn buds and 2 parts VG.

You can order organic palm derived VG from a company in Florida. I'll pm you the link if you like...

There's also my cold extraction... I take a quart sized Mason jar (large wide mouth) and fill it with stems. I cut my stems about 4-5 inches in length. I fill it pretty much. Leave a few inches on the top then fill it with VG. Cap it off and store it in a cool dry place. Date it. About 3 months later it will be potent as f*ck. If you can't wait that long about a month it will work.. but I do 3 month minimum usually before we even touch it. And I'll do about 4-5 jars at once so we don't run out. Remember the longer it sits the more potent it will be!

If you invest in a Magical Butter Machine you won't regret it. Especially if you need edibles daily for pain management like we do.

I need to start a MB recipe thread... I'll tag ya

That's a good idea, I'm gonna try that. Do you think adding sunflower lecithin would help, or not necessary?

I don't know yet. I just took 5 drops sublingual and feel the effects at 15 minutes not real strong yet but will wait to see if it has a delay.

Nice, enjoy the ride lol.

Ok so the 5 drops was very mild after 2 hours so I took 10 more. Once again the initial buzz came along 10 to 15 minutes in - mild and smooth. Now after 2 hours since the additional dose I am quite high. So most of the dose is being absorbed in my digestive system as opposed to sublingual. I am going to try adding a little bit of lecithin and see if it improves the sublingual uptake. uhm that will be tomorrow or later .

Add sub-buccal and you should get much faster absorption.

Hold it under your tongue as long as you can, then just when you think you'll need to swallow, use your tongue to swish it all inside your checks and between your gums and teeth and let it sit there a while. Works amazing with alcohol, anyways.
