I find that the local despensary (graydon green)has the best selection of oils.
They have a fantastic selection of medicated bath bombs also.

The criteria for being a Beyond Baller is simply knowing you are one.

I'll be watching this thread as well, I've made infused Coconut oil a few times that worked great, and recently tried an everclear tincture with mixed results. Also borrowed a "magic butter machine" I'll try cooking with next.

i use canntrust, they have great oils
Interested in your mixed results with the tincture, what method did you use to make it? How did you use it? What were your reservations with it?Originally posted by aaronck

I was in a hurry and using the Magic butter machine for the first time-
I decarbolized the green- put it in the machine with Everclear-hit start but it was just churning with no heat accidentally. I restarted it to cook, but by the time It was done I wasn't able to strain it right away, so it sat for a few hours. After straining it was just ok-I used medium CBD/THC bud and the result wasn't quite what I was hoping for and not sure if it was my process or the machine or... I've made a few batches of coconut oil that were dynamite, but this was the first time making tincture. I will try again soon
Made an Everclear tincture. Decarbed the bud, mixed it in with Everclear, and let that sit for 6 weeks.Originally posted by aaronck

That shit took me to space. Way out of control. Had to dial it back pretty good...
Yeah, got to treat it like an iso quick wash without the reducing to an oil step, not like cannabutter
For more medicinal effects, decarb in an air tight, oven safe container for 1hr at 180-200F then transfer to a mason jar or similar after fully cooled
Then freezer everything, if fridge freezer at least 24hrs... deep freezer, probably 12hr
Then pour everclear into jar, shake the shit out of it for 45 seconds and strain, repeat with the rest of everclear (about 3 washes ideally) then you can put the everclear back in its bottle and keep it in the freezer
That will give you the cleanest tasting... most unassuming tincture possible
Alternatively once it's all frozen, you can freezer everything then leave it combined for weeks, giving it a shake every now and then... but potency won't be that much greater, and you will get a super dark... very smelly, strong tasting liquid
As for dose, 1oz of 20-25% bud, to 750ml of everclear should be 4-8ml depending on tolerance and if you're mixing with alcohol or not
Interesting- I assumed that the MBM would speed the process because that's what it's supposed to do(cook the bud into the liquid) When you say rinse, I pour everclear into the jar, strain it and then then fill it up with new everclear and repeat again?Originally posted by ercchry

Just asking as the Everclear is $$$. Is there anything else other than everclear that will work? Overproof rum maybe?
What I have is not terrible, just gives a mellow buzz, not long lasting.
That's it? Decarb- Add to everclear- wait 6 weeks? Maybe I should make 2 batches to compare...Originally posted by A790

Yeah, rinse... with a 45 second shake before straining but yes, strain, then refill with fresh alcohol and repeat.
Alcohol is a solvent so it strips the thc from the plant really quick
You can use anything but the higher proof the better it will work. Could probably get away with 151
It also isn't super long lasting. Similar to smoking, which is nice. Usually I just sip on drinks with 6ml in them, if you casually sip then you can basically just maintain your level for as long as you want... usually my dose decreases as time goes on to just hold the level I'm happy with
The only difference with that one is the chlorophyll from the plant is leaching into the alcohol (that's why I recommend to keep everything frozen, to delay that)Originally posted by aaronck

I think the confusion is that the old school "green dragon" was done like that cause decarbing wasn't nearly as well known back then and it took that long at room temp to naturally convert the thca to thc
Yep, that was it. Sat in a mason jar in my pantry for a while.Originally posted by aaronck

Might make some new stuff maybe. Like I said, that was super heavy for my wife and I. I mean, we wanted to get stoned, but that shit was something else.
Space.
Been there.

Lol. You can't appreciate how funny this post is unless you've experienced it for yourself.
Super powerful, but if you took less would it even out?Originally posted by A790

Great info everyone! For my purposes though, can someone comment on CBD as treatment for arthritis or joint pain? It is too bad that there is really no way to try it out unless I have a card, hopefully this changes with legalization one day.

Again, topical is the best for those symptoms with no high involved, thca and cbd comboOriginally posted by Clever

Gotcha, when you mentioned topical I was thinking the over the counter cream, I didn't know CBD had a topical version.
Super easy to make a topical made with coconut oil- if you have your card you can order high CBD/ almost no TCH bud and make some of your own- I used this one a couple times now, no problems!

This thread got my brain thinking... currently have 3g of 7/9 thc/cbd in the water bath with 30ml of coconut oil at 190F, going to leave that overnight... so will have some thc and cbd activated, then I'm going to add in 1g of 22% thc and leave it for a day at around 80F to hopefully have a good amount of thca added in too. Then mixing it with a commercial cream. Should have really good anti inflammatory properties theoretically... but only time will tell
