Green Dragon Question

It all depends on your dosage. If you reduce the alcohol it will be more potent.

 

.25g you lucky bastard

You can't really compare dosing for standard edibles and dosing with a Dragon tincture. Using the figures here, it takes .25g for firecrackers to be effective for you. That gives you 4 doses per gram. If you were to use .25g of Dragon, you would use about 7ml of a 1g/oz tincture but that's way too much even at that potency level. I would think that a milliliter should be more than sufficient. This is just to put the comparison into perspective. If you take 7ml, set aside the whole day, but only a few hours for 1ml.  .

listen wisely Grasshopper

 

 
Not really.  The tincture should have a more complete transfer of the medicine.  Firecrackers are a quick and not very efficient use of your cannabis.  If you made a good transfer of the cannabinoids to the alcohol you should need less tincture than the equivalent amount of a firecracker.
 
Start of slow.  You can always take another ml if the initial does is not enough.

 

Listen to them, start off very small doses
I tried it then upped the dose to early
I ended up having a semi-greenout for a full day

 

I knew sam was going to end up in this thread sooner than later. It's like how bks ends up in practically every brownie thread lol. Like they said start off small and work up to where you need it. I did 3 or 4 droppers once and i was nodding out on my couch like i was on painpills. It will put you out if you take too much.

 

 
What can I say? At least my posts don't hijack the thread. I seem to have become the current active resident GD "expert", but, frankly, that's all I do know about. I don't feel that my participation is absolutely necessary for the well-being of the world. I just don't have anybody to talk to and this is my remedy. I prefer to be a fellow blade and not some type of Dalai Lama. You all have handled the question well. 

 

If i ever have a ticture question you're the first person i ask. You've always came off as more knowledgable that most about tinctures than most. Who's hijacking threads now? You're awesome though man.

 

 
Reduce it by half and it will still work as fast but it will only take half as much. Half a teaspoon is 2.5ml so I'm not surprised about the fog. Coconut oil is also good but instead of a direct extraction, you can use your GD to make your oil instead. You'll get a much better product without the taste and other issues with direct extraction and you can increase your yield by a significant margin. Everyone should do a direct extraction with coconut oil or butter first though in my opinion so that they have that experience under their belt and better appreciate a solvent transfer. 

 

 
It's actually easier than that and makes fantastic edibles with no weed taste, just the coconut from the oil. What you do is you get your GD to the concentration that you want, then add it to an equal amount of oil for a 1:1 ratio and then you evaporate off the alcohol, leaving the THC behind in the oil, what's called a solvent transfer. The chlorophyll will transfer along with other plant waxes and oils but they really leave no taste behind. Everyone that tries my edibles, even subtle hard candies, are amazed by the clean, clear taste of the product. 
 
That's where knowing your dose comes in. If you're making a small batch of brownies or cookies and you know how many servings it makes, you add enough GD to your oil for that many doses at whatever strength you want, whether mild for daytime or psychedelic couchlock. And you get a lot more yield. There's a guide, several actually, in this thread that shows how to do it with oil, butter, honey and other things and that's in the index linked in the first post, here.
