OK ...almost 3 months have gone by maturing the natural decarb-processed tincture. Dosed 1/2 dropper-full and on full stomach an hour later I am experiencing a nice clear-head relaxing effect. Somewhat milder in overall effect, yet no less satisfying - just different. No couch-lock ...rather, it's motivating but not in a hyper way. Will evaporate about 1/3rd off of the liquid volume to increase potency-volume ratio. Very nice!!!
Reason being, besides patience, is that i followed your directions and modified the final phase of the decarb process: Final phase involved opening the bottle caps for several days and evaporating an additional 3rd off the volume. I also left all of the residual waxes and such in the tincture so that it remained whole in natural constituents. This effectively reduced my tinctures to the desired potency per volume. Now I can easily draw up just 3 drops into the dropper and that's all it takes. One hour later (morning) the head is VERY clear, but the buzz is definitely ON! Body-wise my joints feel teflon-coated, and my stride is on a glide! I love it!!!
@Grow Goddess - I can't thank you enough for bringing this new technique to our attention! The results I have achieved with your natural decarb instructions are as good as, or better than, my standard Green Dragon recipe - VERY potent and the effects are just where my head and body want to be. Thank you again!!!
Thank you so much! That is great info! I am about 4 hours from Quebec and 2.5 from the US border. I do however know a couple of people that are working in Alberta so hmmmm that is a great idea! I just want to make sure I am doing the process correctly. :-) There is SO MUCH to learn! I have literally spent months and months researching and reading, asking questions and trying to absorb as much info as I can from more experienced growers and users. I don't want to wait 90 days before I can start to use the oil so I am wondering if that means I definitely have to use heat to decarb and then use the EC to make the oil??
For some reason the oil prevents any euphoria from pain pills. A person can still have a chemical addiction, but will not have the addiction to the euphoria. This patient broke a 27 year addiction to pain pills using the oil. It was not easy, but it was accomplished.
In answer to #3. The naturally decarbed oil I make is not only rich in CBD, but also rich in THC and essential terpenes. It is more comfortable than a heat decarbed oil, less intense, and longer lasting.
It takes 90 days minimum, sometimes it takes up to 120 days to naturally decarb.
I use 200 proof ethyl now. I will also use 99% isopropyl. When I use the iso, I have the option to winterize with 190 proof alcohol, which provides an even different buzz.
If I needed the oil now, I would use the RSO (Rick Simpson) method, whether I used the 99% iso or 200 proof ethyl. Use a rice cooker to evaporate the solvent and decarb the product, finishing off with a coffee mug warmer for the final purge of solvent.
You can take small amounts which can lessen the effects. Taken three times per day will keep a consistent supply of THC in your body. At first it is intense, but over time, taken three times per day, you will build up a tolerance.
For your conditions, you may only want to take one dose per day. I have a patient who has fibro, she likes to take it at night so she can sleep through. She gets a full night's rest and feels better through the next day. On the bad days, she will take a dose of oil during the day instead of reaching for pain pills.
