Ok ive read here about making tincture here. My question is : it calls for half oz, but hubby wants to put an oz in it. He is wanting as good of high as smoking. Half oz or whole oz? What would you do? Are there any others here that have to be totally wasted to go along with daily life. Hubbys got ptsd & a very bad tummy. He prefers cannabis to prescription drugs.

This is the recipe from the magical butter machine. I think it all depends on the strength you desire so an oz should be fine:
Ā¼-1 ounce/7-28 g botanicals per cup/240 ml*, decarbed
2-5 cups/475-1180 ml Everclear grain alcohol, 151 or 190 proof (or vegetable glycerin)
Good luck. Let us know how it comes out.

Iāve done a lot of research on Cannabis Tinctures.
I have absolutely no practical experience.
It seems there are two distinct methods.
-
Soak the greens+flower in various strength of alcohol for a length of time and consume.
-
Same as above but heat at 80c to remove the alcohol and recover nearly pure resin.
Conclusion:
-
Vodka shots with extra legs. Everclear shots with extra medical care.
-
Extracts nearly all of the possible resin and should only be used in micro doses.
Iāve just started my first batch.
50 grams of frozen fresh Durban Poison ground.
25cltr of 40% (UK) Vodka
I fully expect extraction will be complete after 48hrs.
The plan is to ātasteā and enjoy a wee tot or two.
With the remaining liquid, Iāll cook down and reduce the alcohol until I get a sludge and test the potency.
It might not be the best plan in the worldā¦
But itās MINE!

Hi @MattyBear. I want to play around with tinctures and edibles, then I saw your post so thought Iād ask about that Budder Machine. Is there a place to find to read about the machine and what I can create with it?

Good idea!! The reviewers there (for the most part) tell the pros and cons vs the MFG who wants you to buy it.
Thanks @Painfree

I ended up ordering the Magical Butter Machine over the weekend. The place I ordered from is called Rosinpower.com and they had the machine with free shipping at $126 which is the best price I found if you consider the shipping costs for other retailers. On Monday I called them to see when to anticipate the ETA, and he mentioned he had never seen such a rush of orders coming in for any single product. Seems to be a hugely popular item.
I just ordered one last weekend too

Sounds super easy!
I have tincture thatās been sitting for a month or so & not sure how to make vape pen juice the best way with it. I read Robertās recipe in the guide section, but havenāt heard great things about the end results.
I used an ounce of bud & 12 ounces of Everclear. I would like to boil off the alcohol to make a sludge for pen juice, but not sure the best way?
My tincture separates like this:
Iām guessing the stuff I want to keep is the middle brown layer?

Be very careful and have good ventilation when cooking down the tincture. A hot plate or someway to do it outside would be best. Have you tested out the tincture yet? Iād put a few drops into some juice and see how it is

@MattyBear. I am going to try out the tincture tonight. If itās strong enough, Iāll boil off the alcohol tomorrow (outdoor). Thanks for the tip.
