Re: What would YOU like to see here?
I'd like to see SOMETHING here, at least. Are you guys ever going to get this off the ground. I've been away due to an auto accident and I see that it's gone nowhere. I've got a lot more stuff to add but I'm not going to do it if nobody is reading and posting. Any clues?

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
I'm back! The good news is the elixir did its job at preventing pain and calming things down in my gut. The bad news is that it did not get me high AT ALL. I went as high as 6ml in a dose and could feel the slightest of tingling. And I used 8g for the batch. Not sure what happened, or if this is be...

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
We can discuss it once you arm is healed if you prefer, I know typing about biochem with a single arm ain't exactly practical :) Cannabinoids would still activate CB1 and CB2 receptors though, correct? How does the alcohol modulate the cellular response? I'm sorry but I used the wrong terminology. ...

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
It has the most bonding sites. And it happens to be an excellent carrier because the alcohol is bioavailable and uses different receptors in the body. That's the simple, one armed late night explanation.

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
And that's just the 1st run. Wait until it's reduced. The Critical Mass would have been completely different. When someone uses a Sativa for the first time I will usually have them do a larger initial dose to get the aha moment. It works great in your morning coffee to get your day up and running. :...

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
Ok I'll try the mouth wash. So why do I bother with the transfer into agave? For taste? For variety and some folks don't like the alcohol. The agave and honey can be used on a trip because it doesn't have that alcohol smell and is therefore more stealthy. The agave and other Dragon style guides in ...

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
By sample you mean ingest? I thought cannabinoids without a proper carrier doesn't work so well? No, no,no. Alcohol is one of the best around. I use it straight most of the time. It's a tincture and just a few drops in a drink or under your tongue or transferred to agave, honey, butter or any other...

Re: Infused Agave Nectar Elixir- Dragon Style
Indica dominant is what I recommend at first because it's more noticeable. Sativas are a bit more subtle due to the difference in properties, cerebral and energetic versus body and couchlock. A lot of people confuse the tincture buzz of Sativas with just a feeling of overall well being with a bit of...

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
Sample about half a milliliter so you can get an idea of the potency after it's final reduction. Be sure to sample a few drops of the final for testing because you won't be able to concentrate it after you make the agave. The second run will be greener but the final color should be the same shade as...

Re: Green Dragon Extraction
Cannabinoids being liposolube it never occured to me to extract them in ethanol. However I've used the butter extraction method many many times to cook all sorts of things, and coconut oil once to make capsules. Since it's solid at room temperature, it makes the process easier. The biggest downside...
