*How To Make THC DROPS.

[natmoon]

hey man thanks. and the olive oil .... that has properties that also encourage the extraction? or is it simply the lipophilic nature of the cannabinoids? Yea I've read about the vodka, and otehr alcohol based extracations....I am going to try something in the next fews weeks/month here....and I am for the shorter time approach myself.

Olive oil acts as an emulsifier which enhances the high greatly when ingested,the same thing can be achieved with lecithin granules.
Glycerin is an alcohol fdd

 

[sgtpeppr]

i don't do booze.

I don't drink either, but you only need like a shot or so. If you mix that into anything else, you can't even tell.

 

[natmoon]

Any kind of oil based or dried emulsification agent will be 10 times better than any kind of alcohol based agent

Glycerol is a chemical compound with the formula HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH. This colorless, odorless, viscous liquid is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Also commonly called glycerin or glycerine, it is a sugar alcohol, and is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity. Glycerol has three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. Its surface tension is 64.00 mN/m at 20 C , and it has a temperature coefficient of -0.0598 mN/(m K). It is a central component of lipids.

A sugar alcohol (also known as a polyol, polyhydric alcohol, or polyalcohol) is a hydrogenated form of carbohydrate, whose carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Its general formula is H(HCHO)n+1H, whereas sugar's is H(HCHO)nHCO. They are commonly used for replacing sucrose in foodstuffs, often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness. Furthermore, they do not contribute to tooth decay.

I would not exactly call Glycerin an "alchohol" when compared to "...a near-pure grain alcohol such as 195-proof Everclear."

Point is the stuff in not likely to get you drunk... And its sweet... Nothing like nasty vodka or everclear...

BTW all this info comes form Wikipedia... Wikipedia ownz you beiotch... =]

JK... =]

well i guess i'll just dump this SHIT down the drain. thanks for the heads up.

 

[tckfui]

well i guess i'll just dump this SHIT down the drain. thanks for the heads up.

DONT DO IT!!!
Glyserin is an oil based substance isnt it???
its not supost to get you drunk! its supost to be more potent than an alchol bassed tincture!!!

 

[apasunee]

bite your tongue,,, vodka and everclear are not nasty... I like to think of them as lifeblood,,, necessary in putting up with this thing we call life,,,lol..... just like weed.....

 

[natmoon]

I am sure that occasional use is fine fdd and i wouldn't throw anything down the drain,if i had a bottle of it i would still use it up.
I was just saying that there are safer,faster and better ways,in my opinion only,to make great tinctures that are not bad for you

 

[moon47usaco]

You can just send it to me... =]

I really do not like alcohol too much... I think i could bare through some sugar alcohol though...

Seriously though... More wikipedia comin at ya...

In chemistry, alcohol is a general term for any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom, which in turn may be bound to other carbon atoms and further hydrogens. Other alcohols such as propylene glycol and the sugar alcohols may appear in food or beverages regularly, but these alcohols do not make them "alcoholic"

From yahoo answers to "Can sugar alcohol from gum get you drunk/ dizzy/ light headed?"

I don't think you really understand what "sugar alcohol" is. While it is a polyalcohol, it's not the same stuff you would associate as the alcohol in beer and wine. Sugar alcohol is commonly used for replacing sucrose in foodstuffs, often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness. Furthermore, they do not contribute to tooth decay.

No you would not, 2 Grams is about the weight of a Tissue. You would have to have about 5,ooo grams of Sugar Alcohol to even get a little Buzzed (Dizzy).

So there you go... A few drops of Glycerin would by no means make you "a Booser"...

And in conclusion and to reiterate... To compare the kinds of booze you would use to make Green Dragon and then state Glycerin IS AN ALCHOHOL is like saying tomatoes are fruit... Sure they are but im not going to pluck a tomato from the tree for a sweet snack am i now... =P

LOL... =]

 

[GoodFriend]

well i guess i'll just dump this SHIT down the drain. thanks for the heads up.

i'll pay for the shipping!!!!

 

[fdd2blk]

i just threw it all out. i don't want ulcers and i'm stupid for trying something new. doing it the hard way no less. next time someone asks if something really works i'll just BS my way thru it.

fuck i'm dumb.

 

[fdd2blk]

i could have sworn we researched all this before anyone even got started. i could be wrong. idiot that i am.

 

[GoodFriend]

i could have sworn we researched all this before anyone even got started. i could be wrong. idiot that i am.

i'm going to spit on you if you really threw it away...

 

[moon47usaco]

I hope you are joking... =O

where the hell did you get ulcers from... ??

Sugar alcohols do not cause ulcers... ??

WTF... =[

 

[natmoon]

Well if anyone wants to try my methods let me know what you thought.
I don't know all the facts 100% about glycerin in any way shape or form,i only know that its not recommended to be ingested on a regular basis.

 

[fdd2blk]

this is a 44 page thread. it's sole intent was to verify if using THIS method worked. we weren't looking for ANY way to do this. i think we are all well aware of "green dragon". pretty common method. and we know heating works. in fact if i heat my glycerin for 3 days i could be done. but that was 12 pages ago. we were attemptimg to prove/disprove THIS method. i think the first post clearly states that. but once again..........dumb, fdd, dumb.

 

[moon47usaco]

overconsumption of sugar alcohols can lead to bloating, diarrhea and flatulence because they are not absorbed in the small intestine

You would have to be eating this stuff to get these symptoms... We are not talking about a few drops a week or whatever... This would be like using glycerin in your creal every morning insted of sugar... Or putting a teaspoon in your coffee every morning... How many drops are in a teaspoon... ?? You would be completely blazed from eating a teaspoon of this... =O

If he really threw it away that would be a waste of time and good buds just because of something someone typed here on a message board... I would have at least tried it first... If it made me fart allot THEN i would think about tossing it...

Green Dragon (drink)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the drink. For other uses, see Green Dragon.
Green Dragon is an alcoholic beverage made by leaching the leaves of the cannabis plant in a high-proof alcohol, most commonly vodka. The THC dissolves into the alcohol resulting in a dark green or brown liquid. Sugar is often also dissolved in the alcohol to mask the extremely bitter taste of the dissolved cannabinoids.

[edit] Preparation

Green Dragon is a method for extracting the active ingredients found in cannabis buds. These chemicals, mainly tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, are insoluble in water, but much more soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol. In addition, the chemicals responsible for the bitter and "grassy" taste of cannabis buds are insoluble in alcohol, but more soluble in water. The best results are obtained by using an extremely concentrated alcohol, such as vodka.
There are two methods for extracting the cannabinoids from the buds. The first involves heating the alcohol to improve its power as a solvent. The cannabis buds are stewed in about 25cl of spirit, preferably heated in a water bath to reduce the possibility (probability, in the case of heating high-proof alcohols such as Everclear) of ignition of the alcohol vapours. The temperature of the spirit should be maintained below the boiling point of ethanol (78.4º C) to prevent the buildup of fumes. The majority of the soluble cannabinoids will be extracted by this method after about 20 minutes of heating.
The second method, which is considerably more low-tech, involves leaving cannabis buds, leaves, stems, and seeds in the spirit for several weeks or months. Over time the cannabinoids will leach from the plant matter in much the same way as in the heating method. It is common to simply open a new bottle of spirit, poke several cannabis buds into the bottle (it may be necessary to pour off or drink some of the spirit first) and reseal. The bottle must be kept tightly sealed to prevent the alcohol evaporating from the spirit. The bottle must be kept in a dark place because tetrahydrocannabinol decomposes under the influence of light.
There is some evidence to suggest that baking the dry buds and leaves prior to adding them to the alcohol in either method increases the potency of the resulting preparation[1][2]. This is because the baking process converts insoluble tetrahydrocannabinol acids into soluble THC (see decarboxylation).

[edit] Uses

Although Green Dragon can be consumed neat, it is more often served mixed with other drinks, such as soft drinks, flavored waters and vanilla extract. A popular [3][4] recipe involves mixing 3 parts lemon-lime soda, 1 part Green Dragon and a dash of honey or sugar.

this was on page 5. please read the thread before posting. thanks.

we also went over the health effects of ingesting glycerin. not sure what page but if y'all really want me to look it up for you........

it's used as a laxative. i think the dose was 2 teaspoons. once again............why didn't i just smoke that 1/4lb? garbage gone now.

 

[natmoon]

Well sorry if i didn't read the first post or all 44 pages of the thread.
I have read that putting neat glycerin into your mouth can cause ulcers and blisters.
Glycerin is an alcohol however you look at it or compare it to stronger alcohols and it does build up in the gut as it is virtually indigestible and can lead to more severe problems with prolonged use.
Sorry if i once again annoyed you fdd this was not my intention
