Extraction a Tincture Question

..there's a site called 'seedmine' (or 'buymarijuanaseeds.com..' both urls lead to the same site)

they took over gardenscure.com early this year. old threads are still there, with a dubious url :)

lot of good threads and recipes there.. worth a browse :) (my only advice ot people.. if you use one of the high proof alcohol preps, use everclear or something.. 150 proof rum tastes like apple baby shit, instant gag reflex.. had to chuck the lot)

thanks for the help..It seems an Everclear alcohol extraction used to make a modified version of Rick Simpsons oil is most likely our next project. discussion over the alcohol removal process is underway..
 
So back to what to do with the glycerin tincture you have.
I think you might be SOL as far as separating the cannabinoids from the glycerin, so need to come up with other uses for it...

Is she able to eat desserts, like cakes & cookies (pretty much any baked goods)? If so, maybe incorporate some of tincture in to the mix. Can also be mixed with icing.

Or use it externally on joints & sore muscles - glycerin just by itself is excellent in reducing inflammation & aids in healing.

There's early evidence that glycerin may also help slow cancer cells from propagating so that's a bonus too.

Hey now that's a dam good idea !! she loves sweets ,and the glycerine is like a sweet syrup already..
wow..we forgot about the no bake cookie recipe we used so long ago. cool...thanks TBM we appreciate that
 
so far we have the original glycerine tincture made with 2 ounces of ground Black Dragon and 8 ounces of glycerine and 1/8 tsp of soy lecithin , this was aged in a dark place for a couple months.

then we have a like amount( almost 2 ounces) of vaporizer leavings (AVM) in 8 ounces of glycerine and 1/8 tsp soy lecithin.

both were combined in a mason jar. the cup warmer will be plugged in at 12:00 midnight tonight and heat continuously for 24 hours.

at that time the mixture will be strained,and the resulting extraction will be used in a no bake cookie recipe we used b4.

I wanted to get this up here to make sure I got it right.
any comments welcome...RSV1
 
Hey there Road, was it two ounces of bud or trim?
the whole plant ( minus the rootball and the mature seeds ) got ground up in the Magic Bullet grinder. If we could have figured out a good way to clean off the roots ,we would have used the roots too. have you ever noticed how good the soil smells right after you chop a plant? I think the roots have a lot to offer medically,one day maybe we will try a root salve for sore muscles.
this tincture was made from the Black Dragons I grew over the winter for seed,since we consumed most of the fan leaf in our smoothies,there wasn't much left but de-seeded bud bits and stem and some immature seed.so everything went into the mix.

Never noticed the smell of the soil after a chop. That's awesome though how you basically consume the whole plant and nothing goes to waste. Is taking tincture better than smoking? And does it offer the same medicinal benefits of smoking?

I can only give my perspective on this so,my 2 cents is that: the whole plant contains beneficial meds.
smoking combusts all the meds at once and you just get 1 chance to benefit.
vaping is similar to smoking,(inhaled into the lungs),
but extractions of the cannabinoids in tinctures, oils..etc and taken internally, give your body a chance to use the beneficial meds after absorbing them through the digestive tract.
I think the longer the body has to use them the better they work.
 
after 12 hours on the warmer,the liquid volume has reduced. We are noticing a thick ,black oil building on the surface of the glycerine. I don't know if slow heating causes this,or if just bieng uncovered allows this oil to float to the surface.A test drop on my tongue has my mouth numb, will re-check in about 6 hours.
 
36 hours on the warmer has reduced the volume of liquid, but it is not noticeably thicker. the flavor is Incredible!!! absolutely delicious, should be undetectable in medibles.
I let a drop drip off the stirring stick sit under my tongue as long as I could before my mouth got too full of saliva and I had to swallow. I would love to gulp down a big spoonful ,but this is meds for my wife. for her discomfort. we hope to make enough edibles for at least 60 days, so I have to restrain myself.
