Is 200 proof Ethanol OK for tincture?

Maxman and Fiddler · Jan 15, 2020

I did an alcohol extraction using decarboxylated weed (on dry ice) with 200 proof Ethanol on dry ice. After a few hours, I poured the ethanol into the decarbed weed and buried in dry ice. I shook 6 - 7 times a day for 3 days and have now filtered the weed out of the Ethanol. Can I injest a few drops of this as tincuture? Thanks for the help!

each drop is gonna be like a shot of 80 proof vodka but you'll be OK. lol.

where did you get the 200 proof from? i used to order it off Ebay but hard to find now. I just use 191 everclear now.

Ordered from Lab Alley, here's a shot of the label. I can't get everclear in my state (Maine), go figure!

Yes you can use it as a Green Dragon tincture. It needs to be diluted before ingesting, as 200 proof is concentrated enough to burn tissue.

Hey dude, you can support a local biz with these guys. Check them out the next time you need ethanol. Right in your own state. They also make Twenty 2 vodka you might have seen.

Water works, but it won't be tasty. I used to take Green Dragon in my Frappuccino, which tasted pretty good..
