I do a quick cold extraction. The shake ball still has a lot of good stuff in it. I cover it with olive oil and coconut oil, simmer on the stove in a water bath for long stretches over a two or three day period at maybe 150 F. Then strain it, not too worried about fine particles. Finally add bee's wax to thicken the oil into an ointment. Use topically for arthritis, skin abrasions, eczema, dry skin, whatever.

I make my topical rub from 91% ISO, bud/trim, and a little olive oil. Let it sit 6-10 weeks and strain. And yes, it relieves pain :)

Tincture review- I did the warm method described on the first page. I used grassomatic auto ak, it didn't yield for shit so I just used the entire plant buds and all. Taste is poor but mixed its fine, its a very dark green color, when I strained it through the cheese cloth some trichs still made it through, potency is pretty wicked, an eye dropper full has me high. Was going to do a shot but I think a shot would put a horse down lol. I'm happy with how it turned out and I would try it again in the future

would the warm method work if i just leave it in the closet for 2 months and shake it everyday instead of putting it in a warm spot like under a window?


and anyone that made a successful warm method tincture, decarbing the bud matter?

I didn't use bud man. I used mostly leaf and just a tiny bit of bud. But there was about 35 grams and I used 2 cups of everclear

i just tried tincture for the first time. i've been toking since 1969. i'm impressed. 2 small drops and i had a lovely buzz and no pain. i usually get very uncomfortable after sitting for awhile. i've been sitting for a couple hours and feel fine.

i've been eating pot but i think i may switch to this. nasty firecrackers or delicious tincture...

the great thing is, i have 2 bottles of it and it was free. :)

Try putting the drops under you tongue, I put two drops at a time and hold for 10 seconds, I do this 4-6 times so 8 to 12 droplets.
the buzz will come quickly, easily within 15 minutes you will be buzzed.
to use a tincture under your tongue the alcohol must be flavored so it does not burn, I use honey and vanilla in my alcohol tincture to sweeten and reduce the burn
Peace,

good point. i put it on my tongue at first, but after some reading realized it's an under the tongue thing.

so you just do a couple drops at a time and do that a few times each session. that's a great idea and i'll do it next time. the more i have under my tongue, the more i want to swallow.

i'm doing 6 drops at a time every hour or so. the guy i got it from takes 2 droppers full.
there are about 20 to 25 drops in a dropper, i get a nice buzz on 6 drops, 2 droppers full would kill me.

he doesn't use alcohol. after reading dozens of posts of people saying they've tried a few different tictures, and didn't get a buzz or any relief, i'm really impressed with this stuff.

as i'm getting more used to it, i'm upping the dosage each time. i was surprised to hear that he uses around a gram of bud per bottle, i thought it would be more than that. one bottle should last me 2 to 3 days. i'm thinking with larger doses, i won't be doing it every hour.

i smoke 3.5 grams a day so i'm definitely going to get more tincture. i've smoked one joint so far today. i would usually be 1/2 way through my 3rd by now.

i read about tinctures years ago but kept reading posts about people not getting high so i blew it off. apparently, even with good quality, some get high and some don't.

i usually "prime the pump" when i eat pot by taking a few tokes 1/2 hour after eating it. i'm thinking it might be the same deal with the tincture. so about 15 minutes after taking it, i take a few tokes.

i'm having to look at a mirror to make sure i'm regulating how big a dose i take. i ate way too much pot once and i never want to do that again.

i'm now a tincture fan for sure. you can teach an old dog new tricks. :)


i'm trying to cut back on smoking/vaping and i just had a great idea. a fire cracker with 1/2 a gram in it, and tincture to give me a bounce once in awhile.
i'm going to give that a go tomorrow. eating one gram gets me perfectly high so 1/2 gram and some drops should be fun.
