How is it fred? What does it taste like? What do you mix it with?

Its an old stoner drink! Take a little bud heat it to 325 them boil it at 170 for 20 min strain and cool. Drink about an eydroper full and your toast for the day!

Its a little more involved than that but you will be stoned for a day! you can take 4 grams of weed and get about 30 doses of Green DAGON!

How much bud to how much water? when you say heat, you mean in an oven? do you break up the bud? your gonna have to be a little more specific. and when you say boil at 170... boiling temp is 215F isnt it?

All right Hobo stewart. LOL

I understand what fred is talking about.

I always heard of making it like a tincture.

I did not think THC was water soluble.

__________________

With a tincture you get about an oz of nuggs or 3 oz's of plant matter from sensi harvest.
Then you chop it all up and even grind it up some with a coffee grinder.

Then you place it all in a mason jar or jars. Then you add the highest proof white liguor you can find.
Fill to above the bud level to submerge.

Place in a room temperature completely dark place.
Shake jar or jars every few days or so.
Let this sit for atleast 30 + days.

Drain and squeeze all liquid out of the bud at the end.
Keep all the goldish green liguid.

Put this liquid in a amber colored bottle and store it in a dark place. Preferably the fridge.

Just a drop or 2 will do.
You will be extremely suprised at the potency.

Very heavy narcotic like high but undoubtedly stoned you will be.

OK here goes, Now I will first show you Master Wu"s recipe Now this shit is strong! any Nasty tasting BUT you dont need more then a dropper full.

After that I will show you a recipe from Dragonrider. His recipe is what I used in combination with Master Wu's However my method is 62% stronger weed to alcohol than Dragons.

My Green Dragon tastes very good. Kinda like a Green apple Jolly rancher. I gave a shot each to 2 friends of mine and within 15 min they were FOOKED UP!

Master Wu Green dragon:
Since I first posted the Definitive Green Dragon 6 months ago, I have received many great comments, answered many questions, and gained more expertise with the extraction myself. I decided it's time to update my recipe and combine my other posts. The biggest change is increasing the extraction temperature from 150-165°F to 170°F.

Below is the original recipe (updated). Tips and techniques follow.

Thanks for all the feedback and interest.

--------------------------------------
The Definitive Green Dragon (Revised)

Here is the very successful result of a considerable amount of research into the elusive and magical Green Dragon.

This is a simple and efficient 4 Step process.

Ingredients:
1/8oz high quality cannabis
2 oz Bacardi Rum – 151 proof


Process Summary:

1. Chop cannabis very fine (coffee grinder works great)

2. Place in a shallow pan (a sheet of aluminum foil works great) and bake at 325°F for 5 minutes.

3. Remove from oven and place cannabis in 2 oz of 151 proof rum (use a small wide mouth mason jar)

4. Simmer in a water bath for 20 minutes. Maintain temperature of the rum/cannabis mixture between 170°F.

5. Strain the mixture and store.


Dosage:
One milliliiter (one full eyedropper) is very nice. Two puts you in space. But you must self-titrate (test it on yourself) as each batch will be slightly different. Effects take up to 1.5 hours to begin (at least in myself) and lasted for 5 hours (1 dropper) to 7-8 hours (2 droppers).

I place one eyedropper (1ml) of Green Dragon in a small glass. I then add a small amount of water (1-2 ml) and drink. Do this on an empty stomach for best results (about 20-30 minutes before eating a main meal is good).


Process details—references and rationalizations:
1. Chop the cannabis
More surface area gives means a faster and more efficient extraction.

2. Bake the cannabis.
This converts THCA to THC via a decarboxylation reaction.

In whole-plant cannabis, THC content is expressed as THCA (tetrahydrocannabolic acid) prior to decarboxylation into THC, which takes place when cannabis is heated during cooking, and smoked or vaporized ingestion. THCA is a mild analgesic and anti-inflammatory but does not have good affinity with our CB1 receptors, so in order to make a THC-rich tincture that has many of the same therapeutic effects as smoked ingestion (including rapid absorption, quick relief and ease of self-titration), we must convert the THCA in the plant matter into THC prior to extracting it through an alcohol soak. (from Vancouver Island Compassion Society http://thevics.com/cannamist.htm)

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.

Notice also that there is considerable misinformation regarding heating the cannabis. It is true that you don't have to heat it to extract both THC and THCA, but the amount of THC in whole plant preparations is relatively small compared to after decarboxylation of the THCA. So if you want to maximize the strength of your tincture you must heat the cannabis prior to extraction.

3. Use the highest proof alcohol available.
Where I live this is Bacardi 151. The more alcohol the more efficient the extraction will be.

4. Simmer the mixture.
This is one of the areas that seems to be most debated. Many recipes call for placing the cannabis (unbaked of course) into the alcohol and waiting 2 – 6 weeks. The main concern with heating the alcohol is that it is “explosive” (not exactly true...it is however flammable).

The purpose of the simmering is to heat the alcohol mixture to improve extraction rates and efficiencies. Heating during extraction increases the motion of the molecules (basic physics/chemistry) and drastically decreases extraction times. The boiling point of pure ethanol is 173°F (78°C). We will use the water bath to heat the rum/cannabis mixture to just below the boiling point of ethanol.

Heating the alcohol mixture can be done very safely using a hot water bath. You will need an accurate candy or quick read thermometer. Place about 1 inch of water in a wide, vertical-edged pan (9” diameter x 3” high). Bring the water to a low simmer. The rum/cannabis mixture should be in a small (1 pint) mason jar. Do NOT cover the jar.

Put the thermometer into the mason jar and place into the simmering water bath. Bring the temperature of the rum/cannabis mixture to about 170°F. The alcohol should be just barely boiling.

You should have the oven fan on high. You will notice that any alcohol fumes are mixed with water vapor from the water bath and vented out the fan. This combined with the fact that you are trying not to boil the ethanol makes the process quite safe.

5. Strain and store.
When you are finished with the extraction you will be left with about 1oz of green dragon tincture after you have strained the extract. Notice that one ounce of the alcohol has evaporated. See the tips below for a good way to strain the tincture.

A standard eyedropper will transfer about 1ml (or 1 gram) of liquid. There are 29 milliliters in one ounce. So you should end up with about 30 or so full eyedroppers (30 milliliters) of Green Dragon.

The liquid should be dark brownish-green and smell like cannabis.

6. Dosage. Titration.
Everybody is different. It takes me between 30-90 minutes to feel the effects of Green Dragon (depending on how much food is in my stomach).

I had tried a tincture someone had made using the cold extraction method with the same amount of cannabis and found that 5 ml (5 full eyedroppers) did pretty much nothing.

Using my Green Dragon technique I find that one dropper will bring effects on in 30-90 minutes and last 5 hours with 1.5 hours of lingering aftereffects.

Two droppers gave me a "spiritual dose" (as strong as any brownie I ever had). Effects lasted 7-8 hours with lingering effects for 2 more hours.

This means that 1/8oz of good cannabis yields about 30-34 doses of tincture (1 dropperful is really all I need). For me it is much more pleasant than smoking (I've stopped smoking entirely).
--------------------------------------------
Combined Tips and Techniques
Below are the combined tips and answers to questions that have accumulated over the last 6 months.

1. Baking Temperature/Time.
I use 325 Farenheit for 5 minutes. Although this will change depending on the type of pan you use. With a gas oven and aluminum foil (no pan cookie sheet) 5 minutes was fine. However with an electric oven, a cookie sheet, and baking parchment, I needed a few more minutes. Keep a close eye on it.

Note that OKSmokey uses 20 minutes at 200°F. I haven't tried this but he has had good success with this temperature.

2. Double the Recipe?
Sure, why not. It should be fine. But I prefer to err on the side of caution and would probably do the extraction twice with a self-titration in between runs.

3. Dosage
You will have to figure dosage with each batch. And you must test it on yourself. The way to do this is through titration (a fancy chemical term that means to determine the concentration of a solution). The concentration of GD will change based on the strength of the starting material, the amount of alcohol you boil off during the extraction, the efficiency of your pre-bake, etc.

Start with one or two full dropperfuls (not drops!) and swallow them down. Check the time and note when you first feel effects, when you peak, the intensity of the peak, and how long it lasts. Make sure you can reproduce your titration (empty stomach, time of day, diluted in water?, etc). If you like what you feel, great. If too much or not good enough try again tomorrow with a different amount. With two points (high and low) you should have a pretty good idea of how it works on your body. Of course it might be different on someone considerably bigger or smaller.

For instance one batch I made was unbelievably strong--1 dropperful and I was flying. The next one took 3 dropperfuls for same effect (but the solution was more dilute as I ended up with 1.75oz instead of 1oz of final GD, the pot wasn't as good, and my pre-bake was a bit too short since I was using an unfamiliar oven and a baking pan instead of just aluminum foil).

4. And as always--don't put the stuff in your eye ;-). And don't put it under your tongue because it burns. I now place the GD in a tablespoon (or so) of water--yum. I actually like the flavor as it is sort of floral. I also store mine in the fridge, but don't really know if this matters.

5. How much is in an Eyedropper
An eyedropper holds about one milliliter of liquid, depending on how hard you squeeze the little bulb. For water based solutions one milliliter weighs about one gram. Thus each full eyedropper contains about one gram of liquid. Since there are about 29 grams in one ounce, you get about 29 full eyedroppers in every ounce. The eyedropper I initially used measured 34 full droppers in an ounce.

Also I use the nice blue two-ounce dropper bottles from the health food store that are used for essential oils, tinctures, and/or other extracts.

6. Leaf vs. Bud
I have not tried the extraction with leaf. But you would obviously need loads more. The problem is you will also need much more alcohol. My guess is you should use somewhere on the order of 10 parts alcohol to 1 part leaf. Then once you are finished you will want to remove the spent leaf, and then concentrate the alcohol by boiling off most of it (using the water bath of course) until you have one ounce of GD remaining.

7. When is it Ready
Right away. That is one of the nice things about this extraction process.

8. Taste
I find that after a week in the fridge (that's where I store mine) the flavor seems to mature into a heady, slightly floral elixer with bud overtones. I find it rather pleasant.

9. Isopropyl Alcohol
DON'T USE IT!

10. Using an Ounce
The recipe should scale nicely from 1/8 to whole ounce. But, unless you have experience with smaller batches I'd recommend sticking with the recipe as written. It would be a shame to have something go wrong with a large batch. I strongly recommend making the GD a couple of times before trying to scale up.

11. Pre-Baking the Pot - Color Changes and Vapors
Bake the pot at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. I chop mine in a mini-prep (or chop by hand) until it is quite fine. Then I spread it out on a piece of aluminum foil which is placed directly on the oven rack. If you place the foil on a baking pan you will need to account for the additional mass of the pan which will increase your baking time. Pre-baking should stink up the house. I turn on the stove vent fan. I also do all my cooking at night after neighbors are in bed.

I look for two indicators that the pot is properly pre-baked. First, I look for the pot to change color from it's initial shade of green to a much darker greenish-brown (or brownish-green). I assume this represents not browning (burning) of the leaf but rather the denaturation of the chlorophyll in the leaves.

Second, I look for a slight amount of vapors to rise off the pot. Since the temperature is well below the vaporization temperature of THC, these vapors probably consist of compounds that vaporize at lower temperatures (like water).

12. Extraction Temperature (revised)
I've had good success with extractions at 170 degrees fahrenheit. You'll note that my initial recipe called for maintaining temperature between 150 and 165. At 170 the alcohol mixture will be slightly boiling. Note that this is alcohol boiling not water boiling. Alcohol boils with very fine bubbles as opposed to the rolling boil of water. After 20 minutes the alcohol should be reduced by about half.

13. Green Dragon Final Color and Smell
The green dragon should be a greenish-brown color (more brown than green). If it is emerald green and smells like grass (from the cholorphyll), it will be weak. Emerald green indicates that the pre-baking was not sufficient. The GD should smell like bud, somewhat floral.

14. How To Recover The Green Dragon
When you are done extracting you will have one ounce (or so) of GD. But it is mixed up with the 1/8 oz of spent plant material. Here is how I recover the maximum amount of my extract.

First, I strain it through a regular kitchen mesh strainer. I use the back of a spoon to force out as much GD as possible.

Next (this is the cool part) I use a garlic press to squeeze the remaining leaves. My preference is a Zylis Garlic Press because it has a plunger mechanism, but any press should do. I then put the squeezings into the plunger in batches, and squeeze the holy GD out of it. This trick has increased my overall recovery by about 15%.

There ya go Green Dragonsters. Good luck and Enjoy.

1. Increase the Amount of Ethanol for a Better Extraction
It occurred to me that maybe I could improve the extraction efficiency by using a larger volume of solvent (the ethanol). Think about dissolving salt in water, if you use a larger volume of water you can dissolve more salt before the solution becomes saturated and the salt falls out. Shouldn't the same properties apply to cannaboids in ethanol? So for my most recent batch, I started with 3oz of Everclear instead of the 2oz of rum (a 50% increase in volume as well as a more pure ethanol). After extracting for 20 minutes I had 2oz of GD remaining instead of the normal 1oz.

If my previous extraction method was perfectly efficient, you would predict that the new GD would only be half as strong as the old GD since the same amount of cannaboids were now dissolved in 2oz instead of 1oz. Happily, the new GD was almost as strong as the old GD. This means that by increasing the amount of solvent (ethanol) for my extraction, I was able to extract more cannaboids (goodies).

Thus, it is okay (probably even preferable) to use more ethanol for your extraction as this seems to improve the efficiency of the extraction. It would be great if someone with a good deal of GD experience should test this out (how about you OKSmoky).

2. Boiling Temperature
Ethanol boils at 172°F. It is really hard to make the temperature go above 172 without doing something really dangerous. Just use the water bath, let the ethanol boil, and it should stay right on 170°F-172°F. Relax, float downstream—if it is boiling, you are doing fine.

3. Green Tea
Following up on the idea of Green Beer (aka Dragon Tail Ale for you microbrew fans), I have invented Green Tea. Put your dropper or two of GD into a nice cup of your favorite tea, add honey if you like, and sip away. Have a tea party. Personally I prefer a nice black tea like Darjeeling (and I like calling black tea green tea). It hits slower than Green Beer, but faster than a dropper alone. BTW—this also means you can now make lollipops or other happy confections.

4. Boiling Off the Alcohol
If it looks like you have boiled off too much of the alcohol, you can probably just add more. If you were to boil off all the ethanol you would probably be left with some sort of resin (hmmm). The THC should not evaporate unless the temperature goes over 380°F (vaporization point of THC) if the solvent evaporates.

5. Non—what do we do with you?

• You must follow the directions.
• Don't be high when you do this.
• Don't ever put the ethanol in the oven—BOOM!
• Bud NOT schwag.
• Have a friend help you. Preferably someone who did pretty good in chemistry class.

Here is Dragonriders Recipe:
Variation on this recipe works well
I made a variation on Master Wu's recipe that worked really well. It was potent, tasted pretty good, and it is a little easier to measure out than the Green Dragon tincture. This variation is more of a Green Dragon Liqueur that you measure out in shots, instead of a concentrated Green Dragon tincture like Master Wu's that you measure out in droppers. But it is based on the principles that Master Wu described, and it uses a lot of the same techniques as Master Wu does.

I used about 4 grams of good bud. I didn't grind it in a grinder, but I broke it up into small hit-sized pieces. I decarboxylized it in the oven at 200 degrees Farenheit for about 25 minutes --- I was afraid of using the higher temperature that Master Wu uses. Thanks for the info on decarboxylizing, Master Wu --- it seems like that is an important step.

I used the boiling water bath and put the bud in a Pyrex measuring cup with 8 ounces of Everclear. I suggest using the Pyrex measuring cup becasue it is made to take extreme heating. It won't break. Ordinary glass is not made for heating, and it can break when there is a heat differential. I think an earlier poster mentioned having their jar break when lifting it out of the water bath. Use the Pyrex instead of a jar. Also, in California the Everclear is 151 proof, not 190 --- probably some kind of legal limit in this state. That seems to be the strongest liquor available. I used a full 8-ounce cup of Everclear, which is about 4 times what Master Wu uses. I used more because I was aiming for a liqueur, not a tincture.

I boiled the mixture for about 25 minutes, and it reduced by about 2 ounces, so there was about 6 ounces of liquid left. I strained off the extracted liquid into another larger measuring cup using a fine mesh strainer, and I squeezed out as much liquid as possible by squashing the mash with a spoon. I'm always afraid there is still some of the good stuff left behind, so I put the squeezed-out mash back in the original measuring cup and added another few ounces of Everclear. I heated that for a couple of minutes, then strained off that liquid and added it to the first batch of liquid. And then I repeated it one more time with a few more ounces of Everclear. The first press was a dark chartreuse color, the second press was a lot lighter, and the third was barely colored at all. So I'm pretty sure I got everything that could be extracted.

Side Note: Three extractions might be a little overboard, but my recipe needs the alcohol anyway, so why not? If you are aiming for a tincture like Master Wu's, maybe you don't want to do all the extractions. But I would always be concerned that there was a little left behind. If a dose of Master Wu's Green Dragon tincture is 1 ml, it seems like there could be a dose or two left absorbed in the mash no matter how much you squeezed it. One suggestion if you are following Master Wu's recipe would be after squeezing all the Green Dragon tincture out of the mash, add another shot of alcohol back to the mash and do a second extraction, but don't add the second extraction back to the tincture. Just dilute it to a drinkable state and chug it on down. If someone is making the tincture, you might try this and report back. Maybe I am worrying over nothing, or maybe there is some good stuff that can still be recovered.

OK, back to the recipe. After combining all three extractions, there was about 12 ounces of chartreuse-colored liquid. I wanted 12 ounces, so I don't actually remember if the extracts added up to 12 ounces or if I topped it off to 12 ounces with clean Everclear, but one way or another it was 12 ounces. Everclear is not drinkable. It will burn your mouth and throat. And not like, "Ouch. That burned my mouth," more like, "Holy crap! The lining of my mouth and throat are painfully scorched, my lungs feel like I inhaled fire, and now I need to spend a week healing! What the hell was I thinking?" Don't drink Everclear without mixing it with something else. My goal was to make a drinkable liqueur, so I needed to dilute it a bit and sweeten it. I added somewhere between 3/4 cup and 1 cup of simple syrup to sweeten it. Simple syrup is sugar syrup that is made by disolving 2 parts sugar in part water and boiling it until it disolves. It's good to have around for mixing cocktails. You could just use an equal amount of straight suger instead of simple syrup, but it takes a little more stiring to disolve it. Or you could use honey, which is what I am going to try next time. After adding the simple syrup, I added water to bring the total volume up to 3 cups, or 24 ounces.

Another Side Note: An interesting thing happened when I added the water. The extracted liquids were still pretty warm, and I added cold mineral water from the refrigerator. Before I added the water, the extracted liquids were green, but pretty much clear --- you could see through them. As I added the cold water, the liquid clouded and became opaque, sort of like the Green Fairy reaction that happens when you add ice water to Absinthe. Next time I think I will add warm water to see if I can keep the liquid clear. It might be fun to make a variation of this recipe that you serve by doing the Absinthe ritual, complete with the Green Fairy phenomenon.

The end result is that I have a bottle of Green Dragon Liqueur that is pretty tasty and will knock you on your ass if you are not careful. Master Wu says that his process results in 1 ounce of tincture, which is 30 ml, and a dose is about 1 ml, so about 30 doses per extraction. I would figure about the same number of doses for my variation, but mine is more diluted, so the doses are larger shots. I ended up with about 24 ounces, so if you say 30 doses is pretty close to 24 slightly stronger doses, then figure a good strong dose is about a 1-ounce shot of Green Dragon Liqueur. Following Master Wu's instructions, I "self titrated" with a 1-ounce shot. Within a half an hour I started to come on, and after an hour I was flying. I would guess maybe a 4 to 5-hour high with some lingering after effects. It was maybe a bit more than what I was looking for at that particular time, but probably OK in some settings. The next time I tried it, I tried half an ounce, which was effective, but maybe a little less than what I wanted. For this batch I'm thinking my perfect dose is about 3/4-ounce shot, more or less, depending on setting.

The flavor of the Green Dragon Liqueur is not bad. It tastes like bud, kind of grassy with a bit of a floralness, maybe some bitternes that is cut pretty well with the sweetness from the sugar added in the recipe. The most I was really hoping for was that it not be totally disgusting, and it is actually OK. I did start with some pretty nice floral-smelling bud, so if you started with something else, it might not be so nice. The basic ratios of alcohol extract, sugar and water are loosely based on recipes for other liqueurs, like Creme de Menthe --- about 1 and 1/2 cups grain alcohol over whatever is your flavoring, like mint leaves, age it, strain it, add about a cup of sugar, and top off with water to 24 ounces total volume. Becasue it was based on recipes that work for flavor, it actaully tastes decent. If you wanted to make it even better you could experiment with adding some mint extract, or maybe orange or lemon extract, whatever you thought would go with the taste of buds. I might try that. Or you can leave it as is and let the taste of the buds come through.

I figure the alcohol content of the Green Dragon Liqueur to be close to 75 proof, or 37%, maybe a little less. That is a bit strong for most liqueurs, but a little less than most distilled spirits, like whiskey or vodka. I calculated that by assuming the 12 ounces of extracted liquids were pretty close to the 151 proof, or 75%, alcohol content of the original Everclear --- they were probably actually a little lower becasue the heating would have evaporated some alcohol. If you take 12 ounces of a 75% alcohol solution and double the volume to 24 ounces by adding water and sugar, you get a half strength concentration, so about 37%, or 75 proof. I like this strength. It's not so high in alcohol compared to the cannabis content that you are going to get drunk before you get high, but there is enough alcohol to transport the cannabinoids into your system. Master Wu mentioned having good results from adding his Green Dragon tincture to a beer or wine. I believe that this is bacause alcohol is what transports the cannabinoids. I think there is a good chance that in Master Wu's original recipe, almost all of the alcohol is evaporated out of the tincture. So adding the tincture to an alcoholic beverage would help its effectiveness by adding back the alcohol needed to transport the cannabinoids. I think the liqueur variation probably has enough alcohol so that you should not need to add any more alcohol to boost effectieness.

I like how all the ratios worked out on this recipe. I started with about an 1/8th. I ended up with a full 750 ml liquor bottle of good tasting, medium alcohol content liqueur. And a nice round 1-ounce shot will send you to the moon.

One thing about the dosages --- I would guess a lot depends on the bud you start with and your own physiology. If the weed was not very good, or you have a Klingon constitution, or you have more or less weed, this exact recipe might not work out the same way. I would sugget you smoke some of the weed and try to figure out how many times you could get high on what you have. In my case, I would have guessed I could get high about 20 to 30 times on what I had, so working the recipe out to 24 1-ounce shots worked out just right. If the weed was not as good or not as much and I thought I could only get high 10 times, I would have aimed to get 10 ounces of final product. I would have done the extraction with less Everclear, topped it up with clean Everclear so that I had about 5 ounces of Everclear/extracted cannabis in the end, then added the water and suger so that it tasted right and came to about 10 ounces. Then I would have had about 10 1-ounce doses.

Thank you Master Wu for explaining the importance and technique for the decarboxylizing process. And for describing how to safely extract the liquids over heat without lighting the house on fire or having to use the wait-and-shake-for-a-month method. Your info helped me a lot.

Then the FRED way!

Let me warn you I usually OVERKILL everything!

I took 32 Grams of "sit on the couch" weed

Ground it up in my food processor to a fine powder

Preheated my oven to 325 for 10 min then put the powder on a sheet of foil ans baked for 5 min.

When I took it out I saw the wisp of vapor! it was browner then when it went in.

Then I place the powder in a double boiler added 2 1/2 cups of 160 proof vodka brought the mixture to 170 degrees and left it for 20 min.

When that was done I strained it and had 1 1/2 cups left.

SOOOO I washed the powder 2 more times I ended up with 3 cups or 24 oz of booze. Now trying to duplicate Dragonriders recipe in which he used 4 Grams bud to get 12 oz before he added the simple syrup.
I had started with 32 grams of bud so My recipe should have been 96 oz or 12 cups at this point. However I didn't have enough vodka! so I added all I had left that brought the volume up to 7.5 cups or 60 OZ

So by my calculations My mix is 62% stronger weed to booze.

Now to get to the goal of doubling the volume with a 2 to 1 simple syrup to mineral water I figured I needed to add 5 cups of simple syrup and 2.5 cups mineral water.

WOW KUNG POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I am a lier and a drunk and I know not what I post! But I am good a copying pictures from other sites!

THC is not water soluble. That's why you use liquor. The alcohol will dissolve the THC. I use alcohol to clean resin off of my pipe. Works very well.

A shot was probably a bit of a overkill. Did you mean a shot glass?

Last time I did it I lost my balance. It was like gravity increased tremendously and my legs were like jelly when I tried to walk.

You are deffinatlely right on that, nothing else is needed while on this high.

Smoking weed will seem pointless until you come down off of this high first.

I suspect most people would be to f'd up to even consider drinking along with this buzz.

Yes a shot glass full! Thats why I broke it down, Its probably only around 70 proof at this point.

Its a good buzz, you are high but you can still work

You gotta try this Hobo! Its fun to make too! Just be carefull when you do the boil your working with VERY flamable shit here!

You must have a candy theremertor and follow the directions to the T or it will not turn out right. I made it before and forgot to bake the weed first, did not work as good. Yoou must do the baking! Do it at 325 for 5 minutes. It must decarbox????? I cant say it or spell it but its important!

hahahahaha, will do fred

I followed the Master Wu recipe exactly. I used 2 oz of Bicardi 151 and 3.5 grams of ground up herb.

Baked in over at 325 degrees for 5 minutes on a piece of aluminum foil. When I took it out of the oven, it had changed from green to green-brown (much more brown than green). It was had whisps of smoke rising from it.

One thing I noticed was that when I scraped the stuff off the foil, it had started to cake a little bit. It was no longer loose like it was at the start.

I then added to a glass mason jar with the 2 oz of rum and let cook for 20 minutes. I used a cooking thermometer and made sure the temp stayed between 160 and 170 degrees.

Strained through a coffee filter and was left with 1 once of product, just what the recipe said would be left.

I have tried increasing doses but have felt no effects from this green dragon at all. I started with 1 ml but today I took 4.5 ml and still nothing.

So where did I go wrong? To feel nothing? I am NOT a regular user at all so you figure I would be that much more sensitive .

Any help would be appreciated.

First question is the oven heat. It should NOT go over 325, 325 is safe but 380 vapes the thc off.

Second would be the coffee filter, first time I made it I used coffee filter not so good! Second time I used my wife nylon stockin (New one! LOL Pappy) I think thats the problem.

Does anyone know the average micron size of a coffee filter???

I bet thats what the prob was. Everyone that has tryed my GD has gotten fooked up for like 5 hours!

I had failed at this the first time out so dont be dismayed You will get it ! when you do You wil be amazed!!!!!!!!!!!! Its worth it dude trust me!

Also when drinking it its more effective on an empty stomach and drink a beer with it. It helps to carry it into your bloodstream, if your liver is digesting food it will digest the thc also. But beer gets it into your blood faster. Try it again and let me know.
