Sublingualtinkturer av CB och dess intresse.
Jag har blivit mer och mer intresserad av olika tinkturer gjorda på CB inte så mycket för egen räkning utan för en väns tillstånd.
Det största problemet jag har är att förrutom trestor och tetra som postat bra “guider”
så har jag svårt att hitta guider på just tinkturer och då menar jag sublingualtinkturer(under tungan)vad jag förstår behöver denna typen av tinktur vara lite mer trögflytande än green dragon varianten.Trestors variant av green dragon är för övrigt en favorit.MEN med det lilla tillägget att jag är mer inne på “droppar” och inte cl.
jag vet inte riktigt Vart jag ska lägga detta Och det kommer inte vara en guide i sig utan mer samlade kopior av “guider” funna lite varstans på internet.
Jag väljer att lägga det här tillsvidare.
Inget av materialet är mitt eget.Ni får gärna fylla på med era egna favorit “guider”.
Länkar till guiderna ni hittar är uppskattat Men inget krav./länkar dör av efterhand och det är generellt mest “guderna” jag vill ska överleva även efter att länkarna dött.
Min förhoppning är att detta kan bli någon form av klistrad tråd(om den är bra nog)
Och att ni fyller på med dels hela utdrag och länkar.- 13 Replies
Timeless tinctures
By Stan Czolowski – Wednesday, October 1 2003How to extract the essence of cannabis and keep it in a little glass bottle.
A tincture is a medicinal extract in an alcohol solution. The alcohol is used to extract and preserve the resins and other soluble material from the plant. Cannabis tinctures are an excellent way to utilize the plant’s medicinal ingredients, and a perfect alternative for those who find smoking difficult.
Until the 1920’s, Cannabis Indica tincture was available at your neighborhood pharmacy. Queen Victoria used medicinal cannabis extracts to deal with chronic pain. “Good for what ails ya,” cannabis tinctures and extracts commonly served as analgesics, sedatives and narcotics.Tinctures connect us to our pharmacological past ? sepia-toned prescription memories and faded daguerreotypes of ancient potions, forgotten remedies, salves, lotions, ointments, syrups and miraculous elixirs.
Curious Alice pondered a small corked bottle labeled “Drink Me” in Lewis Carroll’s 1864 classic Alice’s Adventures Underground. “Well at least it doesn’t say ‘Poison,'” Alice wisely reflected. Yet Victorian magician Aleister Crowley’s bottle of laudanum was indeed labeled “Poison,” to impart a sense of danger and magic.
During the 18th century, absinthe drinkers mixed their wormwood extract with water, transforming it into the “Green Faerie” ? a thujone-rich instant psychedelic drink.
The alchemy of alcohol
Alchemy comes from the Arabic word Al-Kimiya. It is a scientific discipline with spiritual and mystical components connected to ancient teachings of metallurgy, smelting, chemistry, pharmacology and biology. Alchemy is the stepchild of chemistry and physics.
Alchemy and tincture medicines share a common heritage. Potions and poisons are all derived from plants grown and carefully tended. The ritual comes full circle in the growing, preparing, and ingesting of the plant medicine ? our bodies become the alchemical alembic.
AdvertisementParaceselus, a 15th century Swiss alchemist, made medicinal tinctures and adopted the Arabic term al-kohl. He is also said to have invented laudanum, tincture of opium.
Alchemical procedures involve both wet and dry forms such as soaking, distillation and evaporation. The extraction of entheogenic plants requires similar steps. Distillation remained undiscovered until the 12th century, when alchemists first created aqua vitae ? aqueous alcohol concentrated by distillations.
In the ancient world, wines derived from fermentation reached a maximum of only 14%. Yet Graeco-Roman wines were customarily diluted by three or four parts, sometimes even by eight, and Homer mentions that cutting 20 parts of water to wine is sufficient for deep intoxication. It is obvious that an exceptionally potent concoction was being consumed. Indeed, the wines of Greek and Roman Bacchanalia were commonly infused with psychoactive plants like opium, mandragora, datura, henbane, cannabis, and belladonna to make a kind of vinous tincture.
The herbs were macerated in distilled spirits and then distilled again. Sometimes the distillate was then reinfused with a second batch of herbs.
Fruits were also used, along with minerals and precious stones like ground pearls, lapis lazuli, and gold leaf. Sometimes animals were used to make “man’s brains” and “viper” wine.
Bee tincture, listed in an early 1900 edition of Practical Formularies, involved capturing and drowning live bees in spirits. Scorpion tincture requires soaking the arachnid for six months in pure grain alcohol, resulting in a nutty flavored restorative. Scorpions feature often in Chinese medicine, along with snakes and other exotica.
Making tinctures the old-fashioned way, in the witch`s kitchen.Alcohol availability
Cannabis tincture works best with 90% pure alcohol, such as Everclear.
Mexican tincture, however, uses only 35% pure, while Parke Davies Pharmaceuticals ? distributors of the original medicinal pharmaceutical extract to pharmacies during the late 19th century ? used 80%.
Pure grain alcohol can be difficult to obtain, depending on where you are located. If it’s unavailable at your local liquor store, try a duty-free shop.
Most Canadian provinces sell only the highest potency navy rum at 75 proof (32% pure). Further distillation will increase the purity.
Confusion often exists around “proof” and “percent.” Percent is approximately half to proof. The origins of the term “proof” hearkens back to the practice of testing alcohol content by wetting gunpowder with it then lighting the powder. If the alcohol was more than 50% water, the explosive would not ignite.
When the gunpowder did spark it was “proof” that the booze in question was at least half alcohol. In the US, 100 proof is defined as 50% alcohol by volume.
Exercise extreme caution when evaporating high-proof alcohol due to its flammable nature. Remember “proof and poof!”
How to make tincture
The philosophy behind tincture is to capture the spiritual and physical essence of the plant. This is done by using the power of ethyl alcohol to dissolve and preserve the herb in question, in our case cannabis.
Ethyl alcohol, known as ethanol, is used for countless applications. Produced biologically by the fermentation of either sugar or starch, ethanol may be used as a solvent for organic chemicals, or as a starting compound for manufacturing dyes, drugs, perfumes, and explosives.
Different plant species demand different strengths of solvent or alcohol. For example, opium requires 70% pure grain for effective alkaloid leaching. Resinous plants such as cannabis, along with countless other alkaloid-rich botanicals, are ideally suited for extraction in high-proof spirits such as 90% pure grain alcohol (such as Everclear).
The cannabis used for soaking must be dry. When fresh bud is used, the end result is disappointing. Scissoring up the plant material effectively facilitates extracting all psychoactive constituents.
Cannabis should soak anywhere from one to 10 days. Some folks soak it for up to four weeks, following that up with a secondary five day soak in fresh ethanol just to ensure all cannabinoids have been leached.
Buds are great for tincture, but must be dried firstBuds are great for tincture, but must be dried firstHowever, some others insist that the buds remain in the solvent no longer than six hours. They claim that solvents instantly grab onto THC molecules, and anything after this time frame benefits only terpene, oils, and chlorophylls, contaminating the final product.
From my personal experience seven days is adequate, but you should experiment with different time frames to see what works for you and your buds.
The recommended minimum cannabis to alcohol ratio is one gram of bud per 35ml (one fluid ounce). Some prefer up to seven grams per 35ml but others might find this too strong. Individual needs vary. Cautious experimentation is the key.Throughout the soaking period use only enough ethanol to cover the plant material and occasionally agitate. In a nod to the Goddess, herbs still in solution at this stage are referred to as the “Menstruum.”
After you’ve soaked the bud for the desired time, shake and strain the plant material. After filtering the cannabis solution, it is ready to be stored. This is done best within a blue apothecary medicine bottle. This will protect the precious mixture from degradation by light, while also imbuing mystery to the potion.
For further protection, the tincture should be kept in a cool, dark place. Yet cannabis preserved in ethanol has a long shelf life. Tincture medicines do not come with an expiry date. The fragrance and bouquet of mature tincture is floral akin to perfume.
As the mother tincture matures, new cannabis solution is added, and the final evaporated concentrate extract becomes a composite of many superior cannabis flowers.
The test for making sure all THC has been transferred into ethanol is to smoke the discarded plant material. If it tastes terrible, has a straw color, and is inactive, the operation has been successful.
The spent bud should be collected in a porcelain bowl for drying before mulching. Over several deposits, however, you will notice a residue mark from essential extracted cannabinoids adhering to the sides of the collection bowl. Simply add a small amount of alcohol, swirl, and redissolve this valuable material back into the original mother tincture. Waste not want not!

Different plant species yield unique colors to individual tinctures, spanning a psychedelic spectrum. Cannabis, papavarer somniferum, salvia divinorum, san pedro, and psilocybe all lend themselves splendidly to tinctures.
A tincture may be prepared from psilocybe mushroom species with five dry grams to 35ml ethanol. The mushrooms yield a wonderful blue psilocybin solution known as “blue juice”.
Cannabis shows dark green, phalaris grass is red, peganum harmala and syrian rue display vivid yellow green, salvia divinorum glows lime green, and atropa belladonna shows pale purple.
The viscosity of solutions will change during evaporation and concentration, thus determining how much ethanol will be required.
How to use and consume
Cannabis tincture tastes positively Dionysian, with the sweet earthy flavor of cannabinoids and a lingering bitter aftertaste. The effects are noticeable within 15 minutes, and are felt completely within a half-hour.
An advantage of tincture and extract preparations is their ease of dispensing, consumption, and rapid absorption. Tinctures can become very potent when concentrated, so adjust according to individual dosage requirements.
Tincture comes on fast but soon flattens out, unlike the sustained build and longevity of cooked cannabis products. Throughout the tincture experience one is imbued with great tranquility, able to drift in and out of contemplative reverie.
Care must be exercised, as the delayed onset time may possibly encourage overdosing among those unfamiliar with cannabis tinctures. Orally administered cannabis products may be very uncomfortable when too much has been consumed. Possible panic and anxiety reactions or physical malaise may occur.
Heating the potion may also increase tincture strength. Tincture can be added to cooking recipes by concentrating the tincture into a syrup consistency, further enhancing efficacy. This becomes a commitment when considering the tincture experience’s duration and extended nature.
The imbibing vessel or chalice should be reserved for “ceremonial” tincturing. An accompanying dropper for drawing extract, along with small flask for dispensing water into the libation glass is necessary. Tincture first goes into the glass, followed by the water. Glorious green cannabis quintessence explodes upon mixing with water into cloudy green opalescence.

Ethanol represents the least toxic of all the alcohols. The toxicity of medicines, drugs, and poisons is calibrated by the LD50, meaning the lethal dose for 50 percent, signifying the amount of substance necessary to be fatal. Alcohol is considered in the highly dangerous category. Just five times the amount needed to get you happy can be lethal.
Unlike cannabis, ethanol shares no receptor sites to which it connects. Alcohol intoxication represents a true poisoning rather than a key to our cerebral natural paradises. Humans possess an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase which helps metabolize ethanol by oxidizing it to acetaldehyde. Other alcohols like methanol, propanol, phenol, and ethylene are extremely poisonous and can cause blindness and death.
The term “denatured alcohol” means poisonous methanol has been added to prevent drinking, rendering it unsuitable for tinctures ingested orally. When considering dealing with pure grain spirits, it is essential to dilute it with an equal part of water. I once subjected myself to an 0.70ml squirt of 95% ethanol ? my upper palette remained sensitive for days.
When it comes to making tinctures, solvent alcohols are essential. These methods require high-proof spirits. Although in small amounts they are indispensable to the extraction process, some individuals may have difficulty with this dual relationship and possibly slippery slope.
For example, absinthe drinkers regularly consumed high alcohol-containing beverages along with their psychoactive thujone-rich wormwood extract. As well, many poets from the Romantic and Gothic periods entertained the additional drug ethanol along with their daily dosages of opiate-ladened laudanum. Thomas D’Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium Eater eloquently portrays the heaven and hell of this dual addiction.
So be careful that you use alcohol for its true purpose, as a carrier for the essence of magic plants, and not for its poisonous intoxication.
Personal experience
A standard tincture is at a ratio of one gram of cannabis to 35ml (1 ounce) of pure grain ethanol. At this strength, a dosage of 1.4ml of extract (2 squirts) mixed with water is barely noticeable, although it is a very effective appetite stimulant.
A tincture of seven grams of cannabis flowers suspended in 50ml (1.5 ounces) of ethanol is definitely psychoactive at a dosage of 0.7oml (one squirt). Upon doubling the dosage to 1.4ml, I achieved a Buddha-trance state, ideal for serious meditation. It was a heavy physical sensation to experience, and I was able to go in and out of meditative state. I felt a warm glow to my extremities.
At this strength, a “heroic dose” is five squirts for the five points of the pentacle and five wounds of Christ. I felt a heightened sense of novelty, an oceanic quiet and inner peace. I was very contemplative.
Often a small amount of cannabis smoked after tincturing greatly potentiates the experience, but the desire for further cannabis smoking is usually lessened.
Marijuana Tincture Recipe, How to Make Cannabis Tincture
August 29th, 2009 | Author: Allan I Frankel, MD http://greenbridgemed.comI generally never edit older posts, but have found that is is important to add some comments with regard to significant changes in the Cannabis Medicine Tincture’s available, at least in the Los Angeles area. The cost of professionally made CBD Rich tinctures for anxiety, manifestations of anxiety, pain, particularly neuritic and many other conditions, CBD based or “Cannabidiol” based tinctures and capsules are the future and have in fact become the present. As using CO2 extraction is not for patients at home – yet – I suggest you check out some of these tinctures at some local collectives.
As the CO2 extraction process is nearly 100% efficient, the cost ends up being not much different than making it yourself. Also, unless you find some rich CBD or flowers, it will just be a THC extraction, which is good, but just not great. It is well worth checking into if you are dealing with anxiety or pain. For Multiple Sclerosis and many degenerative neurological disorders, CBD is truly a miracle.
For the cost of a movie, popcorn and a drink you can now give it a go. I really think it is well worth few bucks and trip.
By Jay R. Cavanaugh, Ph.D.
Many patients who utilize and benefit from medical cannabis do not wish to smoke due to the perceived health hazards of smoking or for other personal reasons. These patients are in something of a bind. Smoking cannabis delivers the active cannabinoids within seconds. Medicine is absorbed in the lungs and goes directly to the brain and general circulation. The same effect can be achieved with a vaporizer, which is safer than smoking burning vegetable matter. Since the effects of inhaled cannabis are so quick, it is easy for patients to titrate their dose by simply waiting a minute or two in between puffs.
Oral cannabis, such as our Better Bud Butter, is absorbed in a very different fashion from smoking or inhalation. The GI tract gradually absorbs Cannabinoids over the course of one to two hours. Medicine is processed first by the liver, which converts some cannabinoids such as delta nine to delta 11 version of THC. Orally delivered cannabis requires four to ten times the amount of the smoked version in order to achieve the same effect. Orally delivered cannabis can present a problem in achieving the required or desired dose level in any consistent fashion.
Tincture is designed to address the problems of rapid medicine delivery and consistent dosing. Most tinctures are made to be used under the tongue or sublingually. English pharmaceutical companies are presently working on a cannabis extract “spray” that can be used under the tongue in a similar fashion. These sprays are not expected to be approved for use in the United States for years and will be very expensive. Absorption by the arterial blood supply under the tongue is completed in seconds. One trick is to not swallow the dose as, if swallowed, absorption will be in the GI tract. Many patients, though, add their tincture to a cup of tea or cranberry juice for easy delivery. When tincture is used in a beverage, absorption will be slower than if absorbed under the tongue. While tincture absorbed in an empty stomach is accomplished in minutes, conversion in the liver remains, as does the difficulty in titrating dose. Usually, a tincture dose is delivered by means of a medicine dropper or a teaspoon. A rule of thumb on dose is that patients receive benefit from 3-4 drops to a couple of full droppers depending upon the potency of the tincture and the patient’s own unique requirements among other factors.
The methods listed below will detail two major methods of preparing tincture. While the methods are optimized for purity and potency, ultimately these will largely be determined by the purity and potency of the cannabis from which the tincture is made. Another item of note in regard to starting material for tincture is the patient or caregiver selection of strain. A rough rule of thumb is to select Indica dominant strains for cramping and muscle spasticity and Sativa dominant strains for pain relief. The reality, though, is often that the strain is unknown or not well characterized. Trial and error is usually required to acquire the appropriate strain and the proper dose level.
General Rules:
Tincture is an extraction of active cannabinoids from plant material. Cannabis contains many chemicals that can either upset the stomach or taste nasty. One of the goals of extraction is to secure the cannabinoids while leaving out as many of the terpenes and chlorophylls as possible. Both heat and light adversely effect cannabinoids and should be avoided or minimized. Tincture should be stored in airtight dark glass containers kept at room temperature or below. Avoid plastic containers. The ethanol in the tincture may solubilize some of the free vinyls in the plastic.
Cold Method with Ethanol
Making tincture cold preserves the integrity of cannabinoids. To be potent, this method requires starting material high in cannabinoid content such as flowers or kief made from trim and leaf. The material must be mold free and dry. Drying can be accomplished in the freezer (-4-10 degrees Celsius) or better yet by placing in a liquid proof bag into a dry ice/ethanol ice bath (-70 degrees Celsius). Once water has been removed then the surface area of the starting material requires expansion. This can be accomplished a number of ways but two ways stand out:
Using flowers (bud)- Place dried buds in a coffee grinder and pulse until thoroughly ground but not powdered.
Making kief- Rub dry trim and leaves over a silk screen. Collect the powder the comes through the screen. It should be a very pale green. “Kiefing” is an age old way of extracting trichomes from plant material.
Whether kief or ground bud is used both should kept ice cold for this preparation. Similarly, the ethanol to be used should also be ice cold throughout the process.
Selection of alcohol- ethanol or ethyl alcohol is the form of alcohol that can be used by humans. The proof listed on commercial alcohol refers to the percentage of ethanol that the beverage contains. The proof is twice the percentage, so 80 “proof” means that the mixture contains 40% ethanol. The higher the alcohol content used, the better the extraction will work. Ideally, 200 proof ethanol would be best except that ethanol cannot be distilled to this proof so benzene is used to remove the last vestiges of water. This makes “pure” ethanol poisonous.
Many folks use “Everclear” which stands at 190 proof or 95% ethanol. Everclear has no taste. Apparently, Everclear is not available in all States. A close second choice is 151 proof rum. This is a light amber liquid that is 75% ethanol that has a sweet taste. One of our caregiver writers will use nothing but Korbel brandy because she likes the taste. Others use iced Russian vodka. These “normal” distilled spirits are 40% to 50% ethanol. Some patients find that the higher proofs ethanols like Everclear and 151 rum burn too much under the tongue. If burning is a concern consider a high quality 90-100 proof Vodka.
Cold Extraction and purification- Use at least one ounce of starting material to each pint of ethanol. Place cold powdered kief or ground cannabis flowers together with ethanol in a glass quart-mixing jar. Close the jar tightly and vigorously shake for five minutes then return to the freezer. Continue to agitate the mixture every few hours with refreezing. Continue for a period of two to three days.
Pour the cold mixture through a double thickness of sterile cheesecloth. Save the cheesecloth “ball” for topical uses or use the material to make bud butter once dried. The liquid collected through the cheesecloth should then be filtered twice through a paper coffee filter. Use gloves throughout the process, as it is necessary to squeeze the cheesecloth and coffee filters to facilitate the extraction. Without gloves some of the material will be absorbed on the skin.
If Everclear is used the tincture will be pale green to golden. If 151 rum is used an amber tincture results. Dark green tinctures mean that excess plant material is present. This does not mean that the tincture will not be potent, just taste nasty. When Everclear is used, various flavor extracts may be added (vanilla, raspberry, etc.). Be careful to use only a few drop of flavor extract.
Traditional or Warm Method
The old fashioned (and effective) way to make tincture from trim, leaf or “shake” is to grind the plant material to expose surface area. A fine grind is not needed and will just make the tincture cloudy. A rough chop will do. Most folks can’t afford to use kief or bud for tincture but may have leaf handy. If so, this is the way to go. Use ethanol as described above in the same proportions. The key difference is that in this preparation the materials are kept warm (not hot). Light must be avoided.
Place the ethanol and chopped cannabis in a large glass Mason jar. Shake at least once a day. Place the jar in a brown paper bag or otherwise shield the jar from light. Leave in a warm spot (near a window) for 30-60 days. The mixture will turn a very dark green. Strain as previously described through cheesecloth. Save the “shake ball” for topical applications.
While this method produces a nasty tasting tincture, it is powerful. It may upset some fragile stomachs. It is recommended that Warm Tincture be used orally in cranberry juice or coffee with sugar. Keep the filtered tincture in light blocking glass jars or bottles in a cool dry place (refrigerator or freezer is fine). The shake ball should also be kept in the freezer. For topical applications, just take out the cold shake ball and apply a few drops of fresh tincture to the cloth then hold it on the affected area for a few minutes with gentle rubbing.

Glycerine-based Tincture
by Leanne Barron.
You need to use food grade U.S.P glycerine, this can be relatively hard to find inexpensively but a gallon lasts a LONG time.Glycerines have a shorter shelf life than alcohol based tinctures and while they can sit on the shelf I refrigerate mine. Vegetable glycerine has nearly no impact on blood sugar or insulin and is very low in calories (4.3 per gram). It’s sweet taste makes the tincture more palatable than the alcohol based tincture and is a suitable substitute for those concerned with alcohol consumption.Add the amount of cannabis that you desire for potency. I added 6 oz of roughly trimmed (finger trimmed the leaves off) cannabis to 1 gallon of glycerine. For your personal preference add more cannabis or less depending on desired potency. I blend mine, using a coffee grinder, blender or if you are lucky enough to have a Vita Mix. Make sure there is no other product matter in whatever you use. I use a clean basting brush to clean out my Vita Mix when I am done powdering my cannabis.Place in a crockpot on low. Some crockpot’s low settings are too high so you may not be able to use yours. A “Keep Warm” setting if you have it is the best choice. Too hot, and you are killing the properties you are trying to extract, you want the mixture to be as warm as possible without boiling, I left my tincture like this for 24 hours. I have heard people leaving the tincture from anywhere from 4-6 hours to 3 days. You can try the tincture at intervals to decide when you are done. REMEMBER that glycerine tincture retains heat VERY WELL, do not burn yourself!!
If you do not have a crockpot you can place the herbs in a clear, sealed jar in a warm, sunny spot and accomplish the same thing over 4 weeks. Some people make their “sunshine tinctures” over 2 weeks. I do not feel that is long enough, especially in colder weather. Some leave them in the sun for up to 12 weeks. I have never seen a need to go that long myself. Shake each day to mix the herbs in.
When ready to strain use cheesecloth and a strainer to extract the cannabis debris, the THC has been extracted and the tincture is ready to use. The best way to store is in a glass amber bottle. A good place to obtain a large bottle for the bulk of your tincture is a brewery store that has supplies to make wine or beer. I also obtained a few small amber bottles with eye droppers for convenience. It takes a lot longer to strain glycerine than it does alcohol, the tincture will drip when strained instead of flow.http://www.greenbridgemed.com/how-to-make-cannabis-tinctures-at-home/

http://forum.grasscity.com/incredible-edible-herb/253604-cannagliss-pot-drops-*must-read*.html
jag hittade inte orginal tråden så jag gjorde det enkelt för mig
Ok so the following is a recipe/method for creating a very interesting excellent substance, which me and some of my friends have come to call Cannagliss! It is a THC based substance which allows you to get an almost all-body-stone with a method that is easy to conceal!
It increases the potency of your weed 16x, technically, although unless you are very stickly about the directions I am about to give, chances are you wont be able to wait the full time for the drops, or wont have the equipment to get the full and total potential out of the drops.
What you need:
1oz of good quality bud (quality does make a very big difference in this recipe!)
1cup Food Grade Glycerine (available from your local pharmacies or drugstores or health shops)
Cheesecloth
A glass bottle with a sealable lid… preferably metal.
A glass dropper bottle
Your computer exhaust or something to heat it consistently for days on end… NOT A HOT LIGHTYou can of course use considerably less amounts of pot for this recipe. You can use as little as 1 gram of finely ground weed in 8.5ml of glycerine. Increase amounts in proportion… so 1/4oz would get a 1/4cup etc etc.
Then you have to leave the weed in the glycerine for two full months (that’s 6 weeks!), shaking it each and every single day at least once. My first batch I shook maybe 8 times daily, and had it consistently heated 10-20 degrees Celsius above room temperature.
This whole process can be exceedingly quickly accelerated by the extra heating and shaking. It can go from taking 6 weeks to 2, and if you have the right equipment, it can take as little as 14 hours. By simply putting mine in the exhaust of my laptop and keeping it there 24/7 except for when shaking, it was almost ready in about 2 weeks. If I had left it for another week it would have been perfect. The end product should be a pine green colour, and smell exceedingly strong.
Once you have let the drops sit for long enough for all the thc to have dissolved into the glycerine, than you can put it into a glass dropper bottle. If you want to check the glands of the Herb to see if there is actually any THC left, examine the Herb under a microscope before putting the bud into the glycerine, then simply take a piece out of the mix when you want to check it and examine it again under the microscope… the change will be very obvious, and you will be able to see if any trichomes remain on the glands. If either you see that there is no more thc left in the pot, or you can see the colour of the glycerine turn dark… or just wait the full 2 months (this is the best bet always).
You can use pure kief for this recipe as well, when you do this just use about 3x as much glycerine as you have kief, and put the glycerine in the bottom of a very tall and skinny bottle, then put the kief on top. Shake and heat the same as you would the normal drops. With kief you can actually see whether or not it is entirely dissolved, so simply bottle it minus the straining once everything has dissolved nicely
If you have an autoclave, or a pharmaceutical grade glass beaker with threadlock top, than this next method is for you!
Take 1oz of primo bud, not crushed but de-stemmed and totally and completely dried out. Toss them into a screw seal boiling beaker. Then, you must absolutely ABSOLUTELY use thread lock on the beaker. If you don’t do this, its totally pointless to even try this method. Put the bud in the beaker with 1 cup glycerine, boil in your oven or on an autoclave at 155C or 311F. Leave for 36 hours. It should be boiling for most of this time, but air should not be escaping the beaker. Remove and let cool. Upon cooling it should have separated into a green oily substance (which you want to keep) and a black thick tar, which in this case tested at 12% THC. The green oily substance in this case tested at 88% THC. The bud should have completely and totally dissolved into the glycerine. That black tar stuff is all the plant material. It can be tossed if you like… or you could try drying it and smoking it, its up to you. (Thanks to Quanium for testing this for us!)
Once you have your drops, you can soak some of your normal bud in it to give it an extra little kick. Or you can put a few drops in a joint, or just on the top of a bowl in a bong. But by far the single best way to do this is to put just a few drops under your tongue and hold it there for about 2-3 minutes. Will make you go absolutely mad. The better herb you have, the better this concoction will be.
Dosage numbers:
Approximately 2-3 drops per dosage for a good time… equals about 6 bowls of good weed smoked in a bong, if the recipe is done properly.
This means that every ounce of herb and a cup of glycerine mixture you have, you will end up with approximately 4800 drops (or 1600 doses) if strained completely.
For only one gram of herb and 8.5ml of glycerine you will get about 60 doses at 3 drops each.…This is comparable to a normal approx 97 .3g bowls that you would get out of an ounce on an average basis.
Then of course there are those of you going “Well this sounds just too good to be true!” Well here is some chemistry for you non believers! Glycerine is a sugar alcohol, and thc is alcohol soluble. Simple chemistry then shows us then that the thc will be soluble into the glycerine given enough time. Now this said, it isnt a 100% alcohol or anything near it, which is why it takes so long for it to sit. But then why use glycerine instead of everclear or something like that and just make green dragon? Well unlike other types of alcohols, sugar alcohols are able to be absorbed exceedingly easily by the arteries underneath your tongue! And when the THC binds to the glycerine, this makes it easily absorbed into your bloodstream on a direct path for your brain! The absorption of THC into the bloodstream from smoking joints sits at about 15%, the amount for using a bong ranges from 25-35% approximately, and the amount for using a vaporizer or cooking ranges from about 45-55%. With the glycerine absorption method intake has been tested with various other drugs (mixed with glycerine as tinctures) with up to 90% absorption. This should be about enough proof I think to convice most of the doubters.
Now we all know that weed isn’t unhealthy for you if taken in right, so what about glycerine?
Well, glycerine is in your toothpaste, in lubricants, skin care products, used in cough syrups… So its safe to ingest. Is it safe to smoke? Well glycerine is an almost globally used compound in everyone’s favorite flavored smoke – Shisha.@AllanBallan wrote:

mix the cannabis and the glycerin in a mason jar (as used in canning), seal
place jar on rack in a pressure cooker, add hot water (just a bit above the level of the glycerin), seal cooker and bring to full pressure, reduce flame, cook for 28 minutes
remove from heat, cool cooker under cold water, release pressure
open jar, add alcohol, mix, let sit over night or for 48 hours, away from heat/light. shake a few times a day.
filter (those ‘gold tone’ coffee filters work great here)store the cannagliss in a tightly sealed container, away from heat and light.
the theory is that the large amount of inactive thc-a is converted to thc at high temps (250F). when smoked, only 10% or so is converted/absorbed.
cannagliss is also very tasty, 1/2 teaspoon under the tongue is a good place to start. adjust with a puff or two as desired.
apply to scar tissue, or in general to your skin.
caution: one can take too much and fall asleep. do NOT add the alcohol to the mix prior to cooking.

jag hittade faktiskt en gammal länk här Skrivet: 2008-05-06
https://swecan.org//viewtopic.php?t=57041
sinsemillan har en bra och enkel bildguide i den tråden.
väljer även att länka med tetras tråd
Cannabismedicin [CBD] mot cancer
https://swecan.org//viewtopic.php?t=74838&highlight=tetra
då jag dels gillar den och dels tycker att den har med detta att göra.
Och Trestors tråd
Att göra rekordelig örtmedicin, a.k.a green dragonhttps://swecan.org//viewtopic.php?t=41967&highlight=green+dragon
av samma anledning som ovan
Jag har provat ALLT fram till ren morfin, utskrivet av läkare mot mina led problem, men inget funkar lika bra som CB för mig!
Sedan 10år har jag slutat söka hjälp inom den normala medicinen, antingen har den dödat alla känslor hos mig, eller har den varit helt verkningslös mot mina ledsmärtor!
Nu funderar jag på att starta en kamp för att få sativex för att se vad det kan göra för mig!
Enligt läkarna har jag konstanta smärtor som kan likställas med benbrott, men den smärtan kan jag leva med, men mina smärtor går långt högre!Detta är enormt intressant tycker jag, och jag uppskattar ditt engagemang att skapa den här tråden! Det är helt klart, utan tvekan en good read som innehåller mycket fina texter att dra lärdom av vilket jag gillar.
Jag personligen föredrar att röka cannabis i dess naturella stadie, men en tinktur har sina goda fördelar som definitivt är av intresse. En mycket när och kär till mig lider av MS och han anser att, även fast väldigt “otrutinerad” (ursäktar uttryck) inom cannabis, att just den örten hjälper honnom genom vardagen bäst. Dock så absolut hatar han att röka, allt som har med rök att göra, och detta är en stor anledning varför han inte utforskar örten djupare.
Då tänkte ju jag, som har ett par år på nacken. Att man kanske borde samtala om detta med honom och se vad han har för funderingar kring frågan. Ifall han skulle kunna tänka sig ta emot en lite behållare cannabis tinktur för att se vad den kan göra för honom.
Väldigt bra tråd som kommer i lägligaste fallet för mig, ska bli intressant att se hur det utvecklar sig så ska jag försöka bedriva lite research imorgon om tinkturer. Tack!

Har postat i min tråd om tinktur om att göra glycerintinktur
extrahera med kokande alkohol, reducera, fyll på med glycerin i önskad mängd ( måste va fett koncentrerat, bara räkna på ursprungsmängden anpassat till ml glycerin, typ 1g / ml glycerin eller mer) och sen värm under omrörning så cannabinoiderna löser sig, sen använd under tungan. Va försiktig med att värma glycerinet då det har en kokpunkt på 300C typ, det får inte bli för varmt, inte över 120C helst, så vattenbad är att rekomendera. Se upp med att värma alkoholen också, bra ventilation, gärna en fläkt när det kokar/reduceras, mkt brandfarliga ångor.Varför använda glycerin?
För att få det mer trögflytande?
Annars tror jag ett bra utgångsmaterial är bubbelhasch eller honey oil om man vill få upp %:en så mycket som möjligt i tinkturen, buds eller standardröka låter som om det kommer smaka apa.förlåt tetra jag har missat den tråden/länken

Jag vet inte men jag funderade lite på att byta ut min rubrik till
Cannagliss.. eller pot drops..det kanske passar bättre.Och Vardagsterrorist
Jag tänker mig glycerin dels för att som du säger få en bättre konsistens och Dels för att jag intalar mig att kroppen tar upp det på bästa sätt.(det sistnämda har jag ingen fakta som stödjer förrutom hjärtpatienter som tar nitroglycerin sublingualt för snabbast effekt.)Glycerin tas upp lätt av slemhinnorna i munnen
