Tincture questions

Will try the adding mild heat method soon too. Picked up the amber mason jars and some reusable jelly bags to filter the tincture.
Thanks for the help. :)
Time to start the oven and cut some parchment paper..
later.
 
2 ounces of bud turning into tincture. decarbed @250F for 30 mins in mason jars to limit the odor. Everclear poured in and into the fridge. One tincture we will use soon and the other can age some.
Going to start making oil unfused next batch perhaps.
This is going to be much better then only smoking it for us anyway.
:cool:
 
I'll be really interested in hearing about your experiences with it. I only get high from tincture on an empty stomach; if I've eaten, I don't get high (and I haven't tried taking a lot more after eating).
 
Oddly, there are several pharmaceuticals that lose effectiveness if you have consumed a small amount of fat from any source. Something in what your eating must be acting as a block or absorbent and then metabolizes un-affected
 
I have the one jar in the freezer for longer term aging and 1 in the fridge. We will try it in 2 weeks..
On another note according to research published in a book I have read on the health benefits of Cannabis and CBD they state that black pepper will quickly reduce or neutralize the effects of THC. I can see people choking down ground pepper...lol!
 
alltatup seems to follow the odd benefits of cannabis and the odd detriments of pharmaceuticals. JohnEmad I was thankful to have some charlottes web CBD on hand the day I had licked off a smear of concentrate on my finger. I thought about the peppercorns but just couldn’t bring myself to chew on them. They say its the pinene in the pepper that does it and even just smelling it has been known to help immediately. I just went to lie down and sleep
 
I am with you Farmall. I had to have a nap after smoking some Cream caramel the 1st time. I was feeling a bit nauseous and disoriented. Didn't know about the peppercorns at the time
 
Here's what I do if I take too much tincture and get too high: 1. get horizontal with chihuahua by my side; 2. drink lots of water; 3. relax my mind and go on the magic carpet ride. This always works for me because I feel totally safe and I know that Cannabis is a goddess.
 
So after only 2 days I tried 2-3 drops of the slight green fire water under the tongue. I added about 4 oz of Ouzo to the tincture at the beginning to slightly temper the taste of the Everclear. 5 hrs later the effects were almost done.
Relaxed me and took away the majority of my shoulder pain. Recently tore my Rotator Cuff badly. What will 2 weeks be like? How about several months?
Already this is a a success.
Thanks for the help again.
 
JohnEmad look into making some pain salve for your shoulder. I have two torn rotators. Had the worst one surgically repair. The recovery period sucked. 3 weeks with my arm in a sling that raised it up and stuck it out away from my hip, slept in a chair and took OxyContin for 2 months and 2 cortisone shots after surgery. Add 45 days of physical therapy...The repair is now perfect....That experience drove me to the pain salve for number 2 and it does really help
 
JohnE, I recommend that you don't mix something with such a low alcohol percentage directly to your tincture. Ouzo is like 37% alcohol, the rest is water. Cannabis can't infuse in water, so its presence cuts down on complete infusion of the chemicals into the alcohol. That's why I use 190 proof Everclear; it's the best for Cannabis tincture.
 
Farmall I will look into making a salve for sure Sorry to hear you had to go through those injuries. I have always been someone to push hard so my injury is the result but pain is no fun.
alltatup, I figured the alcohol was only watered down to 160 proof from 190 so no real big loss of effectiveness especially with shaking the jar everyday but ya I get the point and agree. I added about 3-4 oz Ouzo 40% alcohol to 16 oz EC 95% alcohol so not really much of a watering down.
