Originally posted on The Cannabis Chef Glycerin Cannabis Tincture This is a great recipe for a glycerin cannabis tincture. A very effective marijuana recipe which you can use as pure droplets or mix it in other dishes. Estimated Time: 6 hours – 5 weeks Serves: Too many to count; probably about 100 servings Materials and Ingredients: 1/2 gallon (64 fl oz) of U.S.P. Food Grade Glycerin 84 grams (3 oz) of trimmings (or 70g/2.5oz if using quality buds) An object that can finely grind your marijuana. Such as a blender or a Herb Grinder A crock pot or some clear, sealed glass jars, preferably Mason Jars A fine mesh strainer or a Cheese Cloth Note: The crock pot method is recommended Instructions: (Crock Pot Method) Set the crock pot to low. If possible, keep the crock pot on a ‘Keep Warm’ setting; some crock pots will burn the tincture even at a low setting so take warning! If you are worried, try the Clear Jar method (see below). Grind up your cannabis as finely as possible using the coffee grinder or blender. Place the glycerin and the cannabis in the crock pot. Let sit for 6 – 24 hours. Let cool. Strain with a cheesecloth (a paper coffee filter will not work!). This will be a long process because the glycerin is very slow moving and sticky. It is well worth it though! Instructions: (Clear Jar Method) Grind up your cannabis as finely as possible using the coffee grinder or blender. Place the glycerin and the cannabis in 1 or more clear, glass jars. A well sealed cap is crucial. Place in a window or another sunny location and let it sit there for 3 to 5 weeks. Shake it each day to help release the desired cannabinoids. Strain with cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer (a paper coffee filter will not work!). This will be a long process because the glycerin is very slow moving and sticky. It is well worth it though! Serving Suggestions: If using the Crock Pot Method, the glycerin may be very hot at first, so BE CAREFUL! Let cool for a good 15 to 20 minutes if possible. Maybe longer. Glycerin based cannabis tincture stores well, but not as well as alcohol based tincture. Refrigeration is recommended. A drop or dropper full under the tongue is enough to ease pain. Test a small amount before moving on to larger doses!
