Does Weed In Alcohol Based Tinctures Need To Be Decarboxylated?

    A lot of people say if you make an alcohol tincture you have to let it sit for weeks or months, while others say you can do it in a day. What i want to know is if you need to decarboxylate the thc or will the alcohol do this forr me? Also how long should i let the tincture sit

    Heat is a catalyst for the decarboxylation process but it also has an affect on the potency, in a slightly negative way but not enough that you would notice most likely. All this is just knowledge I have gained from reading around sams threads and other place, havent actually experimented with any of this personally.

    It's easier to use hash to make one, if you have access to any. Such as say, a gram of kief put into a 1oz bottle of everclear.

    Can you make mixed drinks with tinctures?

    Unless your material is several months old, you should decarb for a full bodied tincture. Older material like imported brick weed do not need it and should not be done unless you want a sleepytime tincture because decarbing that stuff just degrades it into CBN. It's already decarbed naturally.  :)
