===== Directions =====
  -   - Finely ground the dried cannabis.
  - Place in baking sheet and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes at 200F to decarboxylate (convert THCA to THC).
  - Cool and then weigh. Mix 1:5 ratio of cannabis to alcohol in a large glass mason jar. If using 100 proof alcohol, add 20% water.
  - Use a plastic lid or line it with wax paper- should not touch metal.
  - Shake jar once a day and continue for at least two weeks.
  - Strain and bottle in droppers.

Tips:
  - Sterilize everything.
  - Gas from high proof alcohol is flammable - be careful.
  - If using cloth to strain the plant matter, wet it first so that it doesn't absorb all the tincture.
