    Hi to everyone,
    first of all english is not my native language so excuse me in advance! [​IMG]


    I wanna ask some question about tincture. I am new in this field and in mj in general....


    Me and a friend of mine tried to make a tincture from white widow trim by leaving the alcool with trim in freezer for about a day, without heating it. (trim and alcool were in freezer)


    Is it ok with this procedure? I read about making tincture by firstly baking the trim in oven for activating THC but I really don't want to get high, I just want to try the benefits it gives as long as I suffer from BAD frequent panic attack, stress and anxiety.


    Seems that without baking the tincture it will have only THCA in it, is it ok with this? Is it safe? Or should I bake it anyway for full thc benefits?
    Is the THC released even without baking it? (maybe in smaller quantity)


    Last thing: I've read on an online document that THCA is a weak activator of GRP55, a protein responsable of proliferate of tumor cell in certain tumor (breast, prostate for example) while CBD blocks it.
    So is it safe to consume the tincture I made as long as it seems that it contains only THCA (as not baked) and almost no CBDA (white widow is poor of CBD).


    What do you suggest to me?


    Thank you very very much, I really wanna enjoy this but some facts scares me.... (especially the GRP55 one)
