question about tincture sludge.....

[Weedfreak]

Hi.
So I made a quart of some tincture out of purple chemdawg. From experience making oil based extracts, I've learned that the sludge can be used in edibles to make the most out of my work. my question is the sludge left from tincture production still has psychoactive properties?

[Gingerbeard]

Yes. What was your process?

[Ckbrew]

Sludge? Do you mean the spent flowers that had the trichs washed out of them?

[OldManGrower]

I believe that trying to make something useful out of the tincture is a waste of energy.

[Weedfreak]

Yes. What was your process?

decarbed, Magic Butter machined, filtered.

Sludge? Do you mean the spent flowers that had the trichs washed out of them?

yes are you being sarcastic?

[Ckbrew]

No. It was unclear what you were asking as there many different extraction methods. There is a little in there, but if your extraction method is efficient it is not worth chasing after it.

[Gingerbeard]

The answer is still yes there is goodness left in the sludge. Butter is your solvent and contains the goodness. There is still butter in your sludge.
It comes down to how much effort you want to put into squeezing out the last little bit.
Alcohol extraction is a little different because you can flush weed for days with alcohol and reduce it over heat. You can't do that with butter.
I want to start a movement to make tinctures and butter and junk with kief. Who's my first convert?

[Ckbrew]

Already done that GB. Just more goodness. I like using dry ice to get the kief. I can shake the piss out of it and not be concerned with a little plant material in the mix.

yea I've read about DI impurities. Just have to hope it is not so. With all the crap in the food, water, air, idk if it makes a difference. Have you had your weekly 5 gm dose of edible plastic yet? Fresh trimmed bud DIH. With the difficulty of obtaining DI here that would take some serious planning.

[Gingerbeard]

We can't eliminate. We can only mitigate. Like, I will never grow weed on my balcony because of the pollution from the state highway I live a sidewalk and three stories above, ocean spray from a mile and a half from, and the Tijuana River situation.
Took me a bit to find a DI source. But now that I know, it's a snap.

[Ckbrew]

I hear that. We r all playing the odds. That river must be something to live near...

[Ckbrew]

yes are you being sarcastic?

If I was going to be sarcastic even a neophyte would be able to tell. Pfffitttt
