Dragon Lite.....another Tincture Thread

In some of the legal states you can mail your sample to the lab but only if it's within the state and not all of the states have lab services for the general public. There are digital devices that will work with a smartphone that have gotten good reviews. Here's a couple: https://tcheck.me/ & Marijuana Tester - Cannabis Potency and THC Test Kit – THC Level Analysis by MyDx

These supposedly work real well, too. If I didn't have a lab I would probably use this one because of cost. THC Test Kits

 

Even if someone was willing, it wouldn't make it through customs. The third link above was the wrong one, a duplicate of the previous one. I've researched this one quite a bit before the lab opened. This is the one that I would use: THC Test Kits

 

There's no need for alcohol to infuse any oil with decarbed concentrate; just a little heat.

 

There's some thought that it's possible if there's enough concentration and I've thought that but it's the relaxation from the cannabis that causes that effect. I suppose some might think of it as a "body high" but that's one of the things it's supposed to do. The added CBD may have some effect.

A lot of people need to use gloves when they wring out extracted oil with their hands or when wringing out your GD the same way. If they don't, they will get strong effects from the topical transference. It boils down to science says "no" and people say "yes" from personal experience.

 

I haven't done more personally because I haven't really made anything since then although I had planned to add some to my last batch of caps but I forgot. I'm now out of caps so I plan to do it this time when I can afford to make some again. However, there are several others here and in the other thread that use them regularly. There's a lot more commentary on it spread throughout the last hundred pages or so of that thread.

Yes, I would be able to tell and so should you if you're familiar with both cannabis strains. Even if you're not, there is a distinct difference. Of course, I doubt if I could identify a specific strain like a master wine taster You could turn an Indica into a Sativa and vice versa with terpenes, especially in tinctures and edibles and anything else using a decarb since most of the terps are lost in the process.

One good project if you want to see for yourself would be to use a 50/50 hybrid of some sort, maybe one that doesn't have much personality of it's own. Decarb it and make your tincture or oil. Split it in half and add the Durban Poison to one and the GDP to the other one. There may be differences between oil and alcohol versions. I found that with GD, the effects of the terps was very fast acting and that seemed to set the tone. Oil is going to be slower which may alter the immediate impression.

 

Here's their recommendation for 1oz of "carrier". It's 1-5% for that. For carts and concentrates, it's 3-4 drops per gram.

Oh, yes, that's not a problem. You're doing that very thing when you evaporate the alcohol from both runs down to the 3oz you've decided on. You can reduce it down to make it stronger or add more material. However, the material needs to be covered about an inch and 3oz doesn't cover 14g. You can use your 3oz of already infused GD to extract another 7g but you'll still need more alcohol. It would be better to just use more material with the initial extraction and reduce it down to the 3oz to get your double strength tincture.

Reduce that 3oz down to 2 and see the difference in strength.

By the way, the title of that gif is "Just_Cuz_06".
