Indoor CBD Extraction Help?!

Hello all! On my first grow of CBD strains to make oil/tincture for anxiety/pain.

My question is around harvesting - do I need to completely dry and cure like normal, before I start the extraction process, either by infusion or ethanol extraction (I haven't decided yet) or can I start the process with freshly harvested still wet buds? And should I also include the leaf in this process, or flowers only?

Thanks!

Yes, about an oz of room rH bud that's been out for about 3 weeks. Broken up, everything frozen, then a 3 minute wash. Add alcohol and shake gently, put back in freezer for 1 minute, shake again, freezer... thru a wire strainer to get the large stuff, then thru a coffee filter and evaporated. Then purged under vacuum.

And it's like getting hit in the back of the head... eyes go a little wonky... forget what you were doing, kinda stuff.

Lol looks like Im living like a rock star hahaha. I can say I have something that was on the Most Expensivist hahaha. Mbm is a good tool, but doesn't decarb so not the samething. Nova is awesome I eat gummies everyday and I use it to decarb rosin for them. I use mbm for tinctures anymore.
