TInctures

Here is a simple recipe for a Tincture (elixer or extract).
Its basically a brandy/bud mash for you moonshiners.
Take some coursely chopped buds about the size of pea gravel chunks and soak them in the brandy of your choice for 3 weeks. Remove the buds from the brandy and press the hell out of them, trying to get all the brandy out of the green matter. Of course, you have to have some means to collect the ganja brandy you are pressing out. I will leave that to you as there are many ways to do it. This is the first press, you can do it 2-3 times, with degrading quality at each press.
Thats all there is to the extract. TO make the elixer, simply add warm honey to the flavor of your liking.
Store it in an eye dropper bottle. It typically takes 2-6 dropper fuls for a good buzz. Pure THC, no smoking involved, and its actually a pleasant way to medicate.
This is the recipe I got from a medical club that sells the elixer. Although I haven't tied it persoanlly, I plan to strat some soaking this week. I let you know of the final results.

 

Great post Useless. My pills work great and this may be better. Can't wait to try making some.

 

wow Useless.. I'm beginning to wonder, is there nothing you don't know or can't do?


Useless is hardly the handle for ya, unless it's a play on words kinda humor.. Kinda like my bumersticker: Born Again Atheist

 

I know very little Clay. And cant do a lot of things. I just like to pass on good info to my fellow GK'ers. This recipe comes from one of the Cannibus Clubs I go to.


The handle is kind of an inside joke amongst me and my friends.


Love the bunper sticker. I am partial to the amphibian eating the fish, the amphibian says fact, the fish says fiction. LOL

 

Excellent idea, Useless! Any idea what proportions to use? I think I'm gonna try this with some of the leaves I've got-- water cure them, dry, chop, and then put them in a big mayo or pickle jar and fill it up with brandy to soak. The rest of the leaves will be cooked into some olive oil for Mrs. B's famous spaghetti sauce! Okay, maybe some into butter for brownies, too. Ooh, B's kitchen is gonna be floating!

 

You can use any amount of bud for the Extract B. SInce its an extract, it really doesn't matter how much you use, you will just get less if you use less. For the butter, I use about 1 1/2LBS. of trim to 1 pound of butter. It works out to be about 3X strength butter. Then use the butter as you would normally for the recipe, that way the food still tastes good.


Hope that helps.

 

Alright something new to try! I love to drink so this is going to be interesting. I have a question though, Should the buds I use be dried or fresh cut or does it matter?

 

They should be dry Doc, so they can soak up the brandy.

 

then you'd love my darwin fish I got on the back too,


One ssays Evolve and it's humping the other one that says Ixoye!


then I got some more stickers:


-don't annoy the crazy person


-I see dumb people


-Atheism Cures Religious Terrorism


-It's not that I'm anti social, I just don't like you


then a dead kennedy's symbol, and Independant Truck Company (indy cross).

 

LOL... My girl has a licence frame that says "I'm not ignoring you...you're just insignificant"

OR


You can add dried pot to any alcoholic beverage ( the higher proof the better), let it sit there for a week (less if you shake it up baby daily) and drink it (strain it through something). You can use the alcohol/marijuana mixture for mixed drinks too.


Try a marijuana margerita. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.


A word of caution: When cooking or drinking pot, ALWAYS test a little bit first. I have seen people collapse from eating too many happy cookies, too 'limp' to function. And note that with eating/drinking it, the effects last hours.
