Cookies and tincture

Karlee please decarb first. In order for cannabis to be eaten you must activate the thc. Decarbing converts the thc a to thc for congestion. If it's possible that alcohol can heat cannabanoids(its grain and hot to the taste) perhaps decarbing is happening at some level.
Same thing goes for curing. You can cure for ages. Perhaps years with this mix. The magic happened long ago when you decarbed the weed and made the mix. The process happened and should be at potent state if done correctly. Aging will make the taste better. Or even make it more palatable who knows.

if you are not above average in the kitchen please do not rush to make the recipe. Heating tincture could be dangerous. Potential fire. Just not a nice thing to play with if not really comfy with kitchen cooking
 
Took a dose at 7 something last night. Wanted to try a bed time dose to see what happens. Ended up with the greatest laugh I've had in ages. All by myself cracking up uncontrollably. Followed by 5 straight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Ok so it's 230 and I'm wide awake but whatever. I slept great. Now I'm stoned from the bong rips. Maybe get another hour or two sleep. Exciting right!
 
good- thats a huge step- otherwise I feel its wasted product. Decarbing is a science all by itself. Ive done two types- one was a slower lower temp, the other was "THC vaporizes at about 380°F. We want to heat the cannabis to convert THCA to THC, but keep the temperature under 380°F. That is why 325°F is used. Between four and five minutes your oven (and house) will start to smell very strong. This is the time to remove the cannabis from the oven."

This I found interesting. When I had opened this foil after 8 exact minutes- the herb just opened up, steamed, almost vaporized- correctly- I knew it was right by the feel and smell- and by the effects holy shit!

Ill be doing 2 decarbs on next batch. One 220 for 45 - the other I will test the 325 for 7-8 minutes.
 
Just to keep things light- ate a cookie this morning. They are really good. Great medical effects for most of the day so far. I also cut out of work this morning, and made my second batch of tincture. Master Kush- no Keif - instead of a 325 decarb for 8 minutes, I did a 220 degree 30 minute decarb. The end decarbed products were different from the first time around- ill see how this batch is tomorrow.

Also made some more butter- 2 sticks with the EasyButterco.com maker. Its damn easy and quick and no mess and i strongly recommend it.

Kind of amazing how many variations on making tinctures there are out there! 3 minutes, 3 hours, 3 days...they just keep coming! Personally, the batches I've done with a short (3-5 minutes with stirring, shaking) have come out as potent as I could want. And yes, decarbing first. 🙌🙌

Rockman I have one 12 days old and it just keeps breaking down the cannabis I tried some today (I keep it in the freezer and took a little bit) It's the best so far . It gave me this very pleasant feeling i don't get from smoking.
And I had a 90 proof it wasn't breaking down the cannabis very fast I had 4 oz ground in it. I added some 190 everclear and that night it was breaking it up. I haven't seen it yet but the alcohol should eat the pot matter gone or nearly gone. I love my green dragon and it's better for me.
 
Ill make a batch that will ferment next time. I see no reason to carefully cook the mix. Understanding what the cooking process does makes it very enticing. When I am complete, there is nothing left of the herb. In fact it changes texture after rolling for an hour in my steam bath. I end up doubling the batch all around and cooking for almost 45 minutes. Its a dance to keep it around the right temps.

That said the effects are so subjective IMO. All I know is generally, after smoking a few hits ill be high. After a few hours of the cookie or tincture in my system - smoking is like amplified x10. Im blasted, blitzed whatever. Shit I smoked about 3 hours ago and im still fucked up lol. somethings working. And I guess if im the hardest critic, I only have myself to satisfy. Who gives a shit if my friend likes it if its working for me :)

Im with you karlee... it has such benefits its silly. Im coming down from the cookie- and might look at a spiritual dose tonight :) See how it goes.
