Hey who or where is the tincture making info treasure trove I guess I should give it a try
Sorry, just saw this. I've been making tinctures a long time.
Look at it a a bunch of experiments that you tweak along the way. Keep notes for each batch. The simplest is a cold soak, below
If you want a psychotropic effect, you have to decarboxylate your cannabis first, just like making cannabutter or brownies. There are lots of opinions, so just look it up to get the general idea .
Weigh and grind your bud, put it in a jar, and cover it with cold alcohol. Record the weight of bud and the amount of alcohol. For a quick wash you can shake it for a few minutes and drain it off. For a much stronger product, store it in a dark place for a few weeks, and give it a shake every couple of days. How long you soak is a matter of preference" long is strong but green, and shorter is sweeter but weaker.
You can pour it through a coffee filter, but I like to wring it out of a cheesecloth first to get the chunks out of the way and squeeze out ever drop of goodness.
Always dose low and slow with every new batch because they can be surprisingly potent and your skill will improve.
Have fun!
