Cannabis Vodka

Hi, i recently got onto the idea of things like green dragon and other cannabis drinks/foods. Ive looked up a few recipes for GD and cannabis vodka and stuff but most of them aren't very specific on what to do etc. etc. i was wondering if i could just do something very basic like put my buds in a glass of vodka for a while and just wait?
Any of your experiences would be appreciated!

Thanks xo Q.T

The process is kinda simple...

That is a link to one of my journal entries and it includes pictures.

Yes, you can pet bud in vodka, shake often and wait a few days, then strain, it will be something like green dragon. The best method for extracting most of the THC from weed is with butane, the honey oil method. Then you can add the extracted oil to everclear or moonshine to make a tincture, put it in a fine mist spray bottle and spray into mouth. Honey oil is extremely potent, two or three drops of the extracted 'honey oil' consumed will make a full grown man rather ill, too high actually...beyond what you would consider pleasurable.

depending on that persons tolerance of course...

I like the warm method of tincture... 151-190 proof everclear, small buds, sugary leaf and /or hash, let sit for 2-3 weeks (1.5 weeks warm for hash, 3 weeks warm for shake/bud...)

strain after 3 weeks, take the strained product and run it through coffee filters twice to remove sediment *unless you want it, not necessarily bad for you but probably not good if you have a weak stomach...*

the shit is potent, less than 3/4ths of a shot diluted in a tall glass fucks me up and I have a good tolerance.... plus it can be stored indefinitely at room temperature.

the putting butane hash oil directly into the alcohol method as tmf described will work wonders, but this method is fail safe and easy not requiring an extra step... but if you already have the hash and/or hash oil and don't care to smoke it all then I highly recommend doing it that way.

but for real, the plant matter taste is really not bad at all if you mix it with the right stuff, and in the end we're all getting high/medicated of this shit, not to have an enjoyable drink ;)

I follow a method similar to poplars. I use Bacardi 151, sugarleaf and bud. Bud gets ground up, 1oz in a 1 qt mason jar(wrapped in electrical tape to keep out light), fill with rum, shake 1-2X a day for about 6 weeks. I have been told this longer period allows for the cannabinoids other than THC to disolve as well. I know that I have better pain relief(I have fibromyalgia) when I let it sit 6 weeks but haven't noticed any difference from letting it sit longer(I've gone up to 9 weeks). Anyway, I strain, press the material, and strain again using coffee filters and then simmer it over low heat on the sideburner of my bbq OUTSIDE(VERY flammable! Have a lid ready for your pan to smother it, should it ignite. An electric burner would be better) to decarboxylate and concentrate. Warming usually lasts about 5-10 minutes. Let it cool and bottle.

I use brown glass ticture bottles that are 2 oz. bottles and have a dropper. I add 1 tsp of honey per 2oz bottle and it not only flavors it nicely but also cuts the burn by 75%. I have a VERY high tolerance, but 2 dropper fulls under the tounge, then a swish around the mouth, followed by a little drink of water and I'm good to go. It is so palatable that my wife and mom(both NEVER smoked in their lives) have been using it too for back/joint pain and as a sleep aid as well.

Hope this helps you!

have you tried the 3 week warm method? I have a feeling after 3 weeks nearly everything is extracted.

No, I haven't. Only cold(ambient temp 70-80). When you say 3 week warm, I assume you're talking about increasing the temps? I thought of using a heating pad, but the whole expanding vapors, sealed glass jar thing made me decide against it.

no just warm, like 80-90 degrees warm. I"ve kept it in a mason jar with no explosions bro lol no worries. I"ve dropped mason jars 4 feet on top of other mason jars and they don't break, if they can handle that they can easily handle the maybe 4 pounds of pressure?

with warmth it makes extraction speed up and thc-a decarboxylate into d9-thc.. I don't like the whole manual decarbing so I prefer the long warm old hippie method of 3 weeks in a warm dark place. or in a brown paper bag on a window-cill.

Sweet! So if I put it in the sun, wrapped in the black tape it will get plenty warm. Sweet! You, my man, have just made my day! Cut production time by more than 1/2! Thank you and +rep!

you're welcome bro! it will be some very potent shit, wrapped in black duct tape sounds good just make sure you're thorough and it will work.

that sounds like it'll get very warm, feel it from time to time to make sure it isn't like hand burning hot. it should feel warm not hot. that's probably why brown paper bags are preferred.

No prob. :) I took a 1/2oz shot of my Dragon last night. Swished it like mouthwash for about 15-20 seconds and swallowed. My wife was laughing at me because within 30 minutes I was babbling incoherently. I was talking, in my mind. But one way or another, the words just wouldn't come out.:eyesmoke:

Oh yeah. I have two more batches going right now and have been sitting them on a chair above the floor furnace. Temps get between 115-125 in the jar. And they're ALMOST done.
