Will this Green Dragon work? sit method (no heat)

Discussion in 'Seasoned Marijuana Users' started by lambgabriel, Sep 17, 2015.

  1. Alright yall so this is what I did and I want your insights. I should have done more research because I failed to do one step but I still believe it might have a chance of working. I am making Green Dragon using the wait method in ever clear alcohol. I used 28.7 grams of old (a year or 2) weed that I got for free from a friend of mine. I could not see any mold on it but it was obviously old with no smell to it. I grinded the weed and put it in a jar then put as much alcohol to cover the weed. Right now it has been sitting there for two months and today marks the two months mark where it has been sitting there. I shook the jar every couple days.


    The step that I did not do was decarbolization or whatever it is to "activate" the thc. I don't know any of the chemistry of it all but I read in another post that if you have very old weed, the weed already 'naturally' decarbed so I wouldn't need to use that step. I want to try it tomorrow night and I'll definitely keep you guys posted. 20150917_090651 (1).jpg 20150917_090651 (1).jpg 20150917_090651 (1).jpg 20150917_090651 (1).jpg 20150917_090651 (1).jpg
     
  2. Yeah please post if this has good effects, I'm curious about it now.
     
  3. So I basically mixed it in my drink at work, about 1/4 of a shot in some lemonade and damn it tastes good!!! I didn't get stoned like an edible would but I got mildly stoned(huge body high) and it was actually really nice. I will double up the dose and try half a shot to see if I will get higher. I will let you know!
     
  4. Should I let the alcohol evaporate so I get a more concentrated green dragon? Or trying to evaporate it will kill the thc?


     
  5. I'm not sure. I thought the alcohol absorbed the thc and you were supposed to drink it
     
  6. Decarbing it would have left you with the pain killer and no high, and if it was a year old, most of the thc was already broken down, but there is probably still a lot of the cbd(painkiller). I make a decent green d but i use 190 proof everclear, and my method only takes about 9 hours. I freeze the chopped up cannabis (chopped up fine so that its easier and faster to process) for 3 hours, freeze the booze to, then i put em together in a mason jar, shake the shit out of it for 2 minutes, stick it back in the freezer, wait 45 min, shake it again, and so on for 6 hours, strain, and enjoy. Any time ive left it longer it comes out tasting like funk, and i dont drink this stuff that often, shit is super bad for you, i mainly make it for a rub on joints and muscles. I have a guy who was trapped under an exploded tank for 18 hours and his war veteran father who swear by it. The longer you leave it in the jar with the booze, the more crap you get in your final product to, like chlorphyl and all that other nasty junk. And if you let the booze all the way evaporate you will be left a funky ass resin/really shity wax resembling gunk that is hard as shit to smoke and barely gets you loaded

    Thanks for the input Kharma!! I will try that method next time.You are right, I can feel a lot of the pain killer from the cbd. For now I have only been feeling it right when I ingest it but I am not getting high an hour later like most edibles would. I will try to take it tomorrow morning without smoking at all and see if I feel a major difference.
     
  8. I can definately feel it though but only right away
     
  9. Its probably because it was old, thc breaks down over time, in sunlight, and if improperly stored. Ive made a batch with 4 year old trim that was forgot about in a sealed bin and got knocked on my ass when i was straining the cheeese cloth (you can use gloves if you want to, but bare handed gets you tore up from the floor up, drys out your skin, but i use canna coconut oil i make for a moisturizer) it all depends on the product you begin with
     
  10. You really should have decarbed and you still can but it would be too much trouble at this point. You don't need to let your dragon age. Basically this is the same process as making QWET except instead of evaporating the ethanol you drink it. Letting it set or shaking it for 10 minutes would be fine, the longer it soaks the funkier it tastes and there is a point of diminishing returns, probably after an hour it's got about all the oil out of the buds that's going to come out. Getting the dose right is key and you're doing it the right way. Start small and increase your dose until you get high or drunk.
    If your ratio of drunk to high is wrong you can certainly let it evaporate until there's as much high as drunk. It won't hurt the THC, it'll just make it stronger as you suspect. As far as the decarbing goes, our bodies will decarb it so you would still get high, it'll take longer to feel the effects but you'll feel them for a longer period if you don't decarb. So that's a milder high that lasts longer.
    Karma's assertion this stuff is bad for you isn't quite true, I'm wondering if I misunderstood his post. Rubbing green dragon on your muscles and joints is pointless. The THC molecule is too large to work topically, it can't get thru skin easily enough to be effective and even if it did rubbing it on the surface of the skin over a joint wouldn't get it into the joint, it's counter intuitive.
     
  11. im just telling you what people tell me about the effects and how they use it. The booze i use is 190 proof, so all though i can drink it, i wouldnt make it a habit. I have drank it before, its kinda like using an incinerator to surf a volcano in the middle of the mojave desert, and if you drink enough, your vision becomes blurry, very blurry. And also, the people i give it to are old war vets, super old, maybe over time as the skin gains more elasticity it becomes easier for the skin to absorb, idk, like i said, im just reporting what they tell me
     
  12. Be careful believing some of those old man stories. They can believe the strangest stuff. My 96 year old pappy firmly believes in witching for water, wearing copper bracelets, and candling ears (that's a hoot to watch). And skin becomes more inelastic with age. That's why it wrinkles. I don't think Everclear is any worse for you than any other alcohol but it's concentration can cause damage if you hold the green dragon in your mouth waiting for the THC to be absorbed. It made blisters on the roof of my mouth when I tried that and the next day they started sloughing off. It healed fast though.
    OP, are you sure that was pot? Year old weed will still smell like weed. And do the math. You started with an ounce of weed which would need about 12 to 16 oz of alcohol to cover unless you packed it and then it would take about 12 ounces. That would mean each shot would have the THC from well over two grams of pot, maybe even three grams. Taking half a shot like you did should have done the trick but it sounds like you only felt effects from the alcohol. Even taking the lack of decarbing into consideration you still should have got a buzz.
    But everyone's different I suppose.
     
  13. i feel you with the stories but the older of the gentlemen (90+) went from 3 different pain pills twice daily to 1 pain pill and 2 rubdowns twice daily , and he walks around more without the assistance of a walker so much. As for everclear, it is most certainly worse for your body to digest than or types of booze and will cause damage to your liver. And correcting me on the term i was using (thank you btw) does not make it any less true
     
  14. Okay friend. We can disagree on this
     
  15. Ok, but im %100 sure (not only from the research ive done but from your own account of this alcohol causing blisters just from being left on your tongue, i mean, wtf do you think happens when its in your body? It just magically becomes less damaging to your body?) EVERCLEAR IS BAD FOR YOU. Op, i suggest you do your own research on the subject
     
  16. Ight guys sorry for the long reply. I let the green dragon sit in a double boiler and let a bunch of the alcohol evaporate to make it stronger. I really wanted to feel it and have a good nights sleep so I let about 3/4 of it get evaporated. I tried it again last night using half a shot of the green dragon into some orange juice. An hour and a half after drinking it, I was super duper baked. I was so stoned beyond what I thought it would get me. I felt asleep very quickly. I wanted to enjoy the feeling longer but it was hard keeping my eyes open. I had to wake up early in the morning and when I got up I was still stoned. That stuff is strong!!!!
