Directions

  1. - Finely ground the dried cannabis.
  2. Place in baking sheet and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes at 200F to decarboxylate (convert THCA to THC).
  3. 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.
  4. Use a plastic lid or line it with wax paper- should not touch metal.
  5. Shake jar once a day and continue for at least two weeks.
  6. Strain and bottle in droppers.

Tips:

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