Calling for volunteers for a leaf-cooking and consuming experiment.

UPCOMING LEAF EXPERIMENT

I'm going to decarb a bag of leaves and put them in everclear, in the fridge (not the freezer). I'll sample at two weeks, and leave the rest. I want to see how a tincture compares to eating the whole leaf, and if it gets stronger with more time. So I'll leave the big jar in the fridge and keep taking samples. If I come out of this alive, I'll report back.
 
Eating experiment continues and man did I screw up last night— grab the small handful of leaves off the shelf that I trimmed last weekend they were nice and dry. Crunch them up in the frypan with a little bit of olive oil and some water put them on the cook little bit. started it out on high and then turned it down to medium for a while. I kept getting interrupted so I would put a little bit more oil in a little bit more water and just kept simmering it on medium or medium low. When I finally got everything taken care of I just mixed them in with can of chili beans for a cheap burrito snack. By the time I finally got to eat them it was a little after 8 PM. By the time the buzz started Creeping in it was bedtime. I figured I would sleep it off. Got up at 5:30 this morning was a little foggy headed but not bad. But by the time I got to work at 6:30 I was flying high I was too fucked up to work !! I got done the paperwork I needed to finish and I got the hell out of there before the bosses came in. Came home and just let the buzz go.
It seems to me that the buzz lasts a hell of a lot longer cooking and consuming than it does smoking.
lesson to self — Can’t be doing that shit during the week!!
 
So...this morning, I was thinking, I never light a jay and put it out. I smoke the whole thing. I cooked up a huge batch of greens and gently cooked it longer.

Hypothesis: More has to be the key for those with fast metabolism and high tolerance . We shall see...
 
LEAF TINCTURE:

I decarbed leaves from CBD Nordle, AK and Mazar and put them in 190 proof Everclear. They sat in the freezer (shaken daily) for about a month, and I strained them on Sunday. The tincture is definitely not as strong as eating the whole food, but it is a very good tincture! It's relaxing and pain-relieving, with a nice, mild head buzz. This will be perfect to take before going to work.

I made quite a bit, so this weekend I'm going to experiment with some of it and evaporate the alcohol to see how the oil works.

Tinctures are truly amazing, natural medicine.
 
the last batch of leaves I did it was about double what I had done before .so I made my omelet and could not finish it so I put half in fridge then I smoked a hoobaa and went down cellar first to feed the chickens then to work on plants well I got the chickens fed but when I got to the grow area the leaves kicked in and I had to sit for ten minutes then took an hour to get up 2 flights of stairs and I never got any work on plants done lol It took the morning for the effects to wear off now I dont want to give any to the chickens so I can dry and store for myself lol
 
and on a lighter note buddy is looking for a nesting spot so she is crawling in and out of tight places yes she gets stuck, and then she trys to have sex with a paper towel ,comes over to get her head scratched, will bite if I stop scratching lol not hard mind you shes just saying dont stop
 
That's great, OJH!!! Gotta love them leaves and all their incredible potential!!!!!

As for buddy, that means she's nice and healthy!!!
 
I decarb choice buds (1/4 per ltr.) and add to a jug of fine sipping whiskey , shake well and set in dark pantry for a week shaking occasionally. Then I will transfer bottle to cold storage for a week shaking occasionally. After 2 weeks in the lower proof wiskey I can only guess that the alcohol has absorbed all the goodies that it is able. Now I filter out the organic matter. Before bubble bags I used a coffee filter but now I use a #90 mic. bag. No steams,No seeds, things you don't need. I spike my Bullet with bad ass weed ! ✌
