Drinking THC

[ThaJew420]

Hey would it get me high if i took as bunch of lil nugs and put them in 100 proof vodka... let soak for an hour or two, drain, then drink?

:eek: Please messege back! :toetap05:

[ZiggyZaggy]

I've never personally made thc alcohol, But I assume you'd have to heat it in some manner to release the thc into the alcohol as done with butter/oil.

You'd probably want to use at lease some 151 though.

[soaringeagle]

no u do ot need to heat it biut the process tsakes way longer then an hour
ive had marijuana meade before that kicked ass

whatyou want to do is create a tincture
the process takes time
i preffer an oil based over alcahol based tincture any day although the prep time for oil is longer the results are superiur
be very careful however
it can be extremely strong..like in the hospitol nesrlky comotose strong from just a small sip
u should measure the test dosages with an eye dropper
8-10 dro9ps or so till your aware of its strength\
2 droppers full can be very very powerful.. and a medium size sip can be way way too much

you do not need heat to release txh
heat destroys a certain amount of thc no matter how carefully you regulater it
cold extraction produces a far superiur product

i have about a 12 oz soda bottle 1/2 full of cold extracted oil
that will last me a year
(has lasted a year already and still only 1/2 gone and wil;l be getting another bottle this month probly)

if you want a good product, be patient and use the cold extraction over time method either alcahol (yuck) or oil (yum)

but i canot stress this enough..be careful how you dose...
a very small amount can be extremely strong

[johndoe000]

soringeagle can you please go into detail on here of how you do these extractions (alcohol/oil) you have me really curious now haha ,thanks if you can

[CanniEvergrow]

If I were goin to make a drinkable Herb product, I would soak an oz or more of real good Herb in a half gallon of Everclear for at least a week or more. Id shake it up every day and I figure Id try it out after bout a week or so. I shure would definantly use Everclear tho. --Hey Soarigeagle! How ya doin?! Get out of Philly! I used to live on Linmore ave, by the Ghetty station. Get the fukk outta SW Philly, youl love it!

[wolf_at_door]

All the answers are good.
Just remember:
THC will dissolve best if it's mixed up in fat - for instance in a chump of butter. :)

[The Center]

I think if you take a couple of oz and mix it up with some olive oil and shake it every day it will probably be ready in 2 months or so, but I think you will probably be able to use it after a few weeks, I would really like to check this thread out...

[BlazingDervish]

If you're going to drink your THC you might as well make enjoyable and palletable.

Bhang. Millions of receipes out there if you google it.

[klondike_bar]

wow. i was about to create a thread for this, then i saw yours!

yay for searches!

ive read reports of not needing heat to activate thc, and other reports requiring it.

theoetically, i could always heat it before use, or once thc is sufficently transferred to vodka, right?

also, if using 80-proof (40%), would a larger volume of alcohol make up for the lower proof? (id assume so)

[soocersway2cool]

What you need to do is take alcohol, a minimum of 80 proof, but the higher the content the better, because the more alcohol, the less THC you are going to waste.

Take your bud, microwave it on high for a minute then put it in your alcohol. Depending on the proof of your alcohol, you will need to let it sit for longer. Most recipes want you to let it sit for a month, but I would basically let it sit for a week or two, how ever long it takes for it to turn green. This means that most of the cannabinoids are disolved and other things you dont want, such as chlorophyll are starting to be disolved.

If you want to make some really potent stuff for long term use, around 10 grams to half an ounce (of dank) to every 750ml is realllllyyyyyy good. Prob half a shot will get you really high.

[klondike_bar]

i heard bad things about microwaving bud though?

i took a leap of faith and put about 1.5 grams in a 50ml bottle of 80 proof vodka and it has already begun to take on a golden hue.

oddly, the plant material either floats or sinks, and the amounts floating/sunken look similar and not very different oddly enough.... wierd density thing going on there...

when ready to use, how would i best activate the thc in the vodka? I will likely take an unheated test to compare effects as well

[NetworkwithNature]

what u do is get a handle of cheap strong vodka and instead of throw away your stems after breaking up you toss them in the bottle ,youll want to get a really good layer of stems at the bottom, leave it in a dark place, a closet, under your bed, whatever, youll want to leave it for a month or so and thatll give u long enough to get a good amount of stems and all the thc out of those stems.

THERES TONS OF THC IN THE STEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NetworkwithNature]

oh yeah, the vodka will start turning green, so youll know its working

[DaRaider]

yes the alcohol extracrs the THC and the chloropyhll (the green from the plant)

I love THC oil.... i have a bottle full.... my favorite is in my morning cup of coffee 3 drops with my coffee and then im like :D for about 4 hours

[klondike_bar]

well, i drank a portion that SHOULD have contained about .4g worth of thc, and experienced no effects.

however, during my earlier moment of brilliance where i microwaved the glass bottle to try and partially activate the thca (causing the vodka to boil-doh), i swear the nice weed smell 80% dissappeared, leaving primarily a vodka odor

[bluntking]

if you soaked it in vodka i wonder if you dried the bud back out and smoked it would it still get you high and a little tipsy to ?

[nickers224]

how much bud should i put in an 80 proof vodka bottle?
and for how long should i wait to check on it?

[wolf_at_door]

I did put the same amount in a bottle of vodka, as to 5 or 6 joints.
I dranked two 2 centilitres glasses, after been placed in the fridge for a week, and I must say that the effect is chocking good! What's most surprising is not that it just take one 2 centilitre glass to get pleasant high - the most surprising is how fast the THC takes effect, when dissolved in vodka. 15 minutes and I'm there...
I think I'll keep the rest for New Years Eve - It gotta be perfect at that time. :hat:

[GlassMasta]

if you soaked it in vodka i wonder if you dried the bud back out and smoked it would it still get you high and a little tipsy to ?

if you didn't extract all the thc and other cannabinoids from the bud you might still get high from smoking it... but no, your not going to get tipsy. how the heck are you going to get tipsy when all the alcohol is gone? :confused: and if you used any sort of flavored, or low quality vodka there is going to be a lot of shit left over in the bud that probably shouldn't be smoked, just a thought....

you do not need to activate thc when its dissolved in alcohol. if you start boiling it you are destroying the thc which is probably why you didn't feel anything.

how do you figure it contained .4g worth of THC? if you started out with 1.5gs your saying your bud is like 33% thc AND you extracted 100% of the thc? very very doubtful

think about this, the yield for iso alcohol hashoil and butane hash oil is almost always below 20%, and that's a far more efficient extraction method than low proof grail alcohol. your not going to get .4gs of pure thc from 1.5gs of bud even if your bud is like 40% thc which id bet every piece of glass and all my bud and oil that your bud isnt anywhere near that percentage

what u do is get a handle of cheap strong vodka and instead of throw away your stems after breaking up you toss them in the bottle ,youll want to get a really good layer of stems at the bottom, leave it in a dark place, a closet, under your bed, whatever, youll want to leave it for a month or so and thatll give u long enough to get a good amount of stems and all the thc out of those stems.

THERES TONS OF THC IN THE STEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is not tons of thc in stems where you get your info from bro?

even a very very frosty plant has an extremely low th % in the stems

not saying theres nothing in stems, but definitely not "tons" and nowhere near what the buds have.

oh yeah, the vodka will start turning green, so youll know its working


no, that just means your extracting nasty foul shit that wont get you high and just tastes bad


If you want to make some really potent stuff for long term use, around 10 grams to half an ounce (of dank) to every 750ml is realllllyyyyyy good. Prob half a shot will get you really high.

a standard shot is 1oz. there are about 25 shots in a 750ml bottle.

with 10 grams your getting .4g of bud in one shot. in theory

BUT you are not extracting everything out of the bud, so more likely you are getting more like .2 worth of bud at most from a single shot.

and if you say HALF a shot will get you high, your getting MAYBE .1g worth of BUD, NOT THC in that half shot. who the hell gets high off .1g worth of bud?

and do NOT microwave bud...please

no u do ot need to heat it biut the process tsakes way longer then an hour

8-10 dro9ps or so till your aware of its strength\
2 droppers full can be very very powerful.. and a medium size sip can be way way too much

care to explain how your getting your oil so pure that a medium sip is too much?

and it does not take that long at all for alcohol to extract cannabinoids


also, if using 80-proof (40%), would a larger volume of alcohol make up for the lower proof? (id assume so)

no, it would just make a weaker mixture

think about this, when extracting, the whole idea is to get the most cannabinoids concentrated in the smallest volume

if you have a gallon of 80 proof alcohol and you let an oz of bud soak in it, compared to 300ml of 160 proof with a oz soaked in it, ounce for ounce the 160 proof extract is going to be FAR FAR FAR more potent.

you want to get the most bud extracted into the smallest volume possible, this is most easily done with the highest proof alcohol you can find

[klondike_bar]

how do you figure it contained .4g worth of THC? if you started out with 1.5gs your saying your bud is like 33% thc AND you extracted 100% of the thc? very very doubtful



apologies, i meant the "THC OF .4g of bud", which is just above my average amount during a large session.

[GlassMasta]

that makes more sense

and thats probably the reason you didn't feel it

a lot of the cannabinoids were probably destroyed when the alcohol was being boiled, and when you take it orally you need more to get the same effect compared to being smoked


id suggest putting at least a few grams in with about 150 ml of vodka. grind the bud up really well, put it in a bottle with the alcohol, and shake the shit out of it for like 5-6 min, then run it through a coffee filter and squeeze the bud in the filter really really well until all of the liquid you can get out comes out

this method wont taste as good as just letting the bud soak, but will give you a very good extraction percentage and be very quick

that 150ml should be like what 3 shots or so? take that and you should definitely feel it

[Stonertower420]

So everyone's method here is different. What would be the best amount of bud(reggies, dank is too expensive) to put into a half pint of some cheapass vodka from the bodega?

[wolf_at_door]

SoaringEagle, I’m starting to believe in your advice that extracting THC in oil is to prefer than vodka. But still, I need an answer on which relation between amount of oil and amount of THC.?

Half a 12 oz bottle (mean 6 oz, right?), but for how much THC? It’s getting even more complicated when trying to find the relation between ones home-grown buds and pure THC – that’s obviously not your headache, just my own!;-)

All I can say, is that I put same amount of quite good buds as to 8-10 (good & pleasant high) joints (plus stems as recommended by Networkwithnature – thanks for advice, btw :)) in 500 mililitres olive oil (½ liter), let it extract in the fridge for 3 weeks.
I guess your amount of THC is higher, SoaringEagle, since you really get high of 2 drops! Am I right about that?

So I’m starting to measure the amount of oil in millilitre-glasses (you know, of that kind used for medicine) before pouring it into my cup of chai (my preferred medium).
And it seems like the amount of 1 centilitre (sorry about talking in meter-system, but that’s the only system that won’t confuse my European mind ;)), followed up by another centilitre of my THC-oil 1½-2 hours later will bring me there.

But despite I like the oil-medium, still I think its effect is VERY unpredictable. It seems like if some kinda chemical reaction is taking place when THC is extracted in oil. Sometimes you can almost pour several centilitres in your drink – and nothing is happening… other times it just takes a few drops & you’re in heaven. But – to me – it almost always take about 1½ hour before I enter the trip, in difference to when extracting it into vodka (that will only take 15 minutes, probably because the alcohol carry the THC into your vains at your throat, before reaching your stomach).
So my wondering about extracting in oil instead of alcohol is not about the time-elapse, but about how come it’s so unpredictable – even when measuring the amount (and not just “pouring at heart” as I did in the beginning! ;))

And about my thought about if some chemical reaction or metabolism is taking place, as mentioned earlier, I must say that the “outcome” is definitely different to other ways of taking THC. Ofcourse not like smoking. I rarely smoke – even hashish I usually mix in a cup of chai – but still the effect seem very different to me, like if it’s a bit other kind of trip.
It’s like – when I put hashish in my cup of tea, what I must think about is: “what is my mental condition & what is my mood”, because I know that it will amplify my mental condition (and therefore I’m always careful about getting high on THC in any manifestation when I’m sad or down, or when I’m in any kind of anxious, nervous or stressed mode).
That’s also the case when taking THC according to SoaringEagles recipe, but it’s somehow a more “impressive trip” that way – for instance it somehow seems better to me to dissolve hashish in my chai at night when the dark is falling on & to lid candles with it, but SoaringEagles Magical Oil (;-)) seems best at daylight, when I can see how the sun is bringing colors to all the materials, and things like that! :D
I’m feeling less stoned, more trippin’, somehow…

But I guess it’s a matter of complicated chemistry, which only is getting more complicated by the fact that any person feel the chemical reaction in different ways.
But I would be pleased, if some of you could answer - or bring some light – on some of my wonderings/questions…

with love,
-wolf- :-)

ya do it...i like to throw in some[30] valium..or maybe anti freeze...maybe i shouldnt joke..dont drink anti freeze..you have to inject it...sorry...dont inject antifreeze..you have to take antifreeze as a suppository...take the weed ..put it in a frying pan add alittle butter..a little honey..heat till weed seems cooked..put on toast and enjoy..its called a honey slide

[wolf_at_door]

I've been making tinctures with oil on dried buds some times, but would my result get better if my buds are fresh & non-dried when I put them in oil?

love,

Before making caana butter or oil there are a few steps that lead to superior product.
1) make sure product is bone dry-this allows u to grind it into a very fine powder which increases surface area making extraction easier.
2) product must be heated-this is to activate THC-its called decarboxylation. Do not use microwave for this as its too hard to regulate heat. Put the powder in oven for 15 mins stirring occaisionally..do not let temperature exceed 200 ...THC evaps @ 260- 370 degrees so 200 will keep u in a safe range.
3)Patience.....it wiil take time for extraction especially if alcohol is less than 80%......if u have carried out steps 1&2 about 6-8 weeks will b agood time to leave for a good extraction.
4)filter- filter your product before u drink it...use an old t-shirt or clean dish cloth.
It als helps if u leave the bottle in a slightly warmer place for extraction period .
