Making a tincture with alcohol

[SGD]

Great suggestion, thanks guys. I'll look into the vape thing. I'm not a tabacco user so that might be a good option. Also, it's been a long time since I last did any edibles and I had forgotton that it can be a bit heavy.

Clearly I have a lot to learn as I didn't know that I could put bud in a vape. I wish I'd known that sooner.

All these threads about tincture... I had to whip some up.
50ml of 200 proof ethanol with one gram of 88% decarbed shatter I picked up at the dispensary. The decarbing shatter is the second picture. 5ml will cure what ails you.
In the past I have mixed honey and butter in with the shatter.

That's what I use also.

We have 2 dry counties but not moist ones. But then again in NJ you go to a liquor store for all your needs. No selling at gas stations and no selling at grocery stores unless they have a liquor license but it has to be separate from the actual store. But you go over to New York City And you could buy beer at the gas station and at the grocery store same thing with wine but for liquor you got to go to a whole specialized liquor store.

That's why we call it 'experimenting with drugs.'

I want to give this a try and I have done a bit of research but I can only buy high % alcohol from the pharmacy and they will only sell it in 50ml bottles which is expensive. I have some home made fruit based spirit that my neighbour gave me but he reckons the strength is about 47%. What will happen if I use the lower % alcohol to try this?

I Seriously considered a still jut to make some high proof alcohol for oil... Came to that conclusion after paying about 65$ for a polish vodka with 170% proof.. Turned out well but too much $ for 1 run...

Sad to say some of the still parts are now being used to control a heater in the tent...
