Step into the world of liquid cannabis magic as we explore the fascinating realm of marijuana tinctures—a timeless method of consuming cannabis in a liquid form. Get ready to discover the art of crafting your own tinctures for a unique and controlled cannabis experience.
Marijuana Tinctures: Liquid Gold of the Cannabis World: Before we dive into the recipe, let’s understand what marijuana tinctures are. Tinctures are a historical form of low-cost medical cannabis consumption, allowing users to benefit from the herb without smoking. These liquid wonders provide a customizable and quick-absorbing alternative to traditional edibles.
Ingredients:
- Marijuana
- Small glass jar (mason jar) with a lid
- 90% or more pure grain alcohol
- One brown medicine bottle with an eyedropper to protect your concoction
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Determining Marijuana to Alcohol Ratio Establish a ratio of 1 gram of marijuana to 1 fluid ounce of alcohol, with a maximum of 6 grams per ounce. This ratio ensures a controlled potency.
Step 2: Drying and Chopping Marijuana Allow the marijuana to dry and chop it into smaller pieces. Fresh weed is not suitable for tinctures, so ensure it’s adequately dried.
Step 3: Soaking the Mixture Combine the alcohol and chopped marijuana in a glass jar, letting the mixture soak for one to ten days. The duration depends on personal preference, allowing you to experiment with the potency.
Step 4: Straining and Bottling After soaking, strain the mixture to remove plant residue, then transfer the liquid into a brown medicine bottle with an eyedropper lid. The brown bottle protects the THC from sunlight, preserving its potency.
Where to Purchase Tinctures and Cost: Thankfully we live in a state where cannabis is sold recreationally, so tinctures are readily available at affordable prices. Depending on strength, a standard bottle containing 100 drops can cost as low as $20, making it an easily accessible option for cannabis enthusiasts.
Whether you choose to purchase or create your own, marijuana tinctures offer a discreet and efficient way to enjoy cannabis. Experiment with flavors, dosages, and methods of consumption to find the perfect balance for your unique experience. Stay tuned for more cannabis-infused adventures in our series!
