Someone help me make some tincture!

[tabora587]

I have a gram of some really nice hash, but I just can't fit smoking into my schedule. It would be much easier to be able to use an eyedropper and dose whenever I want without worrying about the smell.

I have seen a lot of different ways to make tincture, but they seem to vary depending on what exactly you want to get out of it.

I don't have access to a kitchen, so I am not able to heat the mixture up.

I do have access to a fridge and freezer however. (Cold method?)

I would like the tincture to be very potent. I would like to be able to get pretty high with just a drop or two.

Should I buy everclear in order to get it that strong? What would you guys recommend as far as what alcohol to use and how much for the gram of hash?

Also, I would prefer to not have to wait a long time to be able to use it, but I'm not sure if I will need to in order to allow it to become as potent as I would like.

Thanks

Cut your hash into thin strips and freeze overnight in a small jar or 30ml vial like this one. Put the everclear vodka bottle in the freezer too. The next day add 20ml vodka to the hash and shake for a minute or two. Shake the hash and vodka a couple of times over a day or two. The hash settles at the bottom as a spent powder and the hash oil is in the alcohol. Pour off this tincture into another vial or keep it in the freezer.

I will highly recommend glycerin and not alcohol... Pretty much every medical grade tincture on the market these days are made with a glycerine base. MUCH better tasting and better for most situations. If it is only a gram of hash, you shouldn't need that much liquid.... unless you want very weak doses. As for the exact amount of liquid to break it down into depends on what dosage per dropper your looking for.

I agree, alcohol tincture is probably inferior to glycerin for oral dosing due to glycerin being so gentle, better at extracting the broadest spectrum of cannabinoids possible from the plant material, as well as being sweet tasting and inexpensive. Just shake the hash throughout the glycerin at room temperature without cause for filtering, very easy. I usually evaporate my hash/alcohol tincture down to oil for vaporizing purposes which works fine. Personally, I had not used glycerin before today mixing 14g vaporized weed from my MFLB with 280ml glycerin. I am making this decarboxylated weed/glycerin tincture over two months before filtering, to be used both internally and externally.

EDIT: alternatively, instead of using alcohol or glycerin, use hazelnut oil, or another vegetable/nut oil you like the taste of and mix in the gram of hash and shake it until it has blended. Afterwards keep it in the cupboard away from light. Use any volume of oil you want and a spoon to measure a dose.
