Anyway to modify Green Dragon?

[Antiquity]

I made a quart of GD with the trimmings from my last grow. It’s pretty intense … 2-3 ml is a loooong high and a different feeling from other ingestibles. Hard to describe but seems like all head, very little body. It’s my first experience with GD … like it but don’t love it (mainly because it’s a marathon).

Is there anything else to do with it? Somehow turn it into butter? Make a concentrate? Or am I stuck with it? Google searches just show more GD recipes.

Thanks friends!

That's just an ethyl alcohol extraction, right? You can evaporate off the alcohol and dab it or add it to flower in a vape, like any concentrate. Don't allow high heat or a flame anywhere near it, a small glass baking dish on a gentle heating pad (the kind that can touch skin) will help to drive off the alcohol faster.

Of course … makes sense. Yes, it’s Everclear (for the non-chemists like me ) I’ll separate a small amount to evaporate and see what happens.

If 2-3ml is too strong try 1ml. Another option is to thin it out more. You could also mix it with something less heady.

I prefer mct oil infusions over tinctures but both are convenient in that a few drops can make most foods and drinks edibles.

It’s been tough to find the right dose … I’ll keep experimenting, might have something to do with my tolerance. 1 ml has been almost like a micro dose.

The first thing I did with my new harvest was try an MCT oil infusion (in an instant pot) and made gummies. They turned out weak and wildly inconsistent.

I’ll try some other methods. Thanks for reminder about MCT.

Ime, It's much easier to start from a concentrate if making an MCT oil tincture.

I make the concentrate, then decarb, then mix heated MCT with the hot decarbed concentrate. It's very consistent that way.

You’re right, I should have mentioned that. It’s also the way I infuse mct oil.
