Any thoughts on this idea? My distiller should be here today but I don't have any EverClear, so if this would work I could give it a try.

The are several versions of the Green & Golden Dragons. Which are you using? As in the ingredients.
This darn distiller info has my brain really going. Could you potentially have ethanol if accidently mixed some grain mash, sugars, ect.? Not asking for a recipe, just trying to find out what ask this can do other than reclaim Everclear. It's sounds like it has huge potential.
I can get Everclear all day for cheap. So, why else would I get one of these?
PM me if it's sensitive to some. I'm really curious.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

I took my major reduction of my tinctures at 250 on the oven temp. No higher than that! Tim recommended starting at 225 degrees and then bumping up to no higher than 250.

I actually have some more reducing right now, in addition to some pain cream in a crockpot on low.

I wish I could get Everclear here for cheap Cajun! They got a market in this town on it, and the price shows it. LOL

Getting Everclear where I live is like pulling teeth. I have only been able to come up with 3 bottles in 5 months so having the ability to reclaim it is a real gift to me. I am hopeful to get 6 bottles this week if everything works out, that should last me awhile now :thumb: Not only that but my wife will not drink our water so it's a win win.

Ha-ha ha, here we go, you got my attention. .... PAIN CREAM? Do you have a recipe tucked away somewhere?
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Sorry, but I have never heard of Green Dragon. I got some bud from a medical grower when I was in Nevada a few years ago. He also gave me a blue glass spray bottle filled with a tincture to spray under the tongue. He made it with rum. Tasted pretty potent, rum wise. I got chosen to go through one of those "special" searches before getting on the plane, so I drank the entire bottle. It was liquor potent, but not many cannabinoids. It tasted and smelled of cannabis. But I didn't feel it. It was free though. And the flowers were very good.

If Green Dragon is a tincture, I guess one could evaporate the alcohol from the tincture, but if the amount of cannabinoids within the tincture aren't as plentiful and concentrated as oil, I would just use it as a tincture. Making a tincture just means to leave the flowers soaking in the alcohol, as I understand it.

There is always a bit of green to my oil. It might not be chlorophyll, but rather some of the terpenes or something else. I don't know, but I strain it pretty well since I had some popping off when I decarbed in the double boiler once. I have also winterized a couple times, but only to make sure I got all the suspended materials out of the mixture. Still have a minor green tinge to my oils. But also some red color in my last oil from the Red Poison Auto. So I am not so sure all that is green is chlorophyll.

Hope my input helps...

Yes,it is bud soaked in alcohol. While I would like to make it a little bit stronger I'm pretty sure I couldn't drink a 2oz bottle and get on an airplane :-)

The person I asked to get me a bottle of EverClear couldn't find it on the mainland so they brought back something called Diesel... while it was 151 proof it tastes terrible, maybe I'll be disappointed and EverClear will too but I have to get something.

I wonder if I put 151 through the still what it would come out as? That right there would be interesting!
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Cannafanny got me all excited !!!​


Although Fanny thinks I've won the West...I did win 10 Great seeds from our friends at Gorilla Seeds and Critical Mass Collective, thank you very much.

One is a 1/1 THC/CBD strain that I need badly for the new twins I've just agreed to take on with epilepsy (along with 2 new cancer patients and a manic/depressive). I don't have any CBD oil, but my THC oil is stopping the seizures for the moment...how can this be? I thought seizures responded to CBD's only (thus Charlotts Web). By - the - way, they're chihuahuas. My first dog patients. The weekend health summit gave me confidence to try this. A toothpick tip with oil, rubbed into cheese = 1 minuscule dose. Parents are horrified at reaction to Vet. seizure meds. No muscle control, tongue hanging out, staring off into space....spaced out! Oil given at 9pm. After an alert evening with no seizures, the twins slept soundly all night (first time) and awakened alert and playful (for the first time since vet meds). Dosed again at noon (same minuscule dose in cheese....Joe cuts the cheese...is the joke here). No seizures for 17 hours on oil (25 hours since vet meds). Parents think this is a miracle already. Seisures are continuous without meds. I caution it's too early to draw conclusions. But I am secretly praying for them! They're so cute! Time will tell.

Thank you all for your support, without which I could not go on.

No, I know of no way to start an oil collective...illegal on too many levels...I think.

My friend with Lyme thinks I'm a genius and wants to intro me to her co-worker who also has Lyme (she moved from volunteer to employee!!! Yes, the oil can help with that too!).

So many people suffering directly as a result of this insane prohibition.

My athlete patient wants me to teach his boss how to make the oil for weight lifters!

Good Lord, I don't know how well we, as an industry, are going to be able to handle the FLOOD of interest coming at us. I'm a little intimidated (hope I can perform adequately) and scared too (last month one of my posts got 206K views...afraid to check it now). NO room for error.

My doggie parents have an in law with cancer...can you help us, please!

What's going on here?
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Dang Johnny, I must have mistyped my number on those freebie seeds! ROFL
Well, ten is better than none. I'm sure everyone read the contest post....I would hope. LOL

I'm going ahead with my plan for smokeater. :)

Guess I owe you about 140 of em'. :laugh:

And I am going to follow your continued results with the pups. That is sounding awesome. I sure hope it keeps helping.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Me too fanny...can any of these sxxxs help?

Cajun....It's a STILL !!! Water is what it legally distills.

Distilling alcohol with this still is easy, but against the law. Like always: Respect the law.

Even 10 seeds is cause to celebrate.

My distiller was delivered today, so I'm listening closely as I wind down my vacation. I fly home next Wednesday, thank goodness. No more long vacations ever again. :straightface: I should have seeds in soil and I'm still more than a week out.

I'm going to use part of that harvest I have curing at home to make something curative. If it means I have a dry spell before my next harvest, so be it. No way will I be able to wait three to four months to try this distiller out.

Beaver...that's right. Clear alcohol with all the green left behind.:thumb:

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Well, here's what I did with the oil batch error. I was not at all happy with the looks of that oil.

So, I made my pain cream and added the two syringes of oil to that. It mixed in really well. It's going to be a nice consistency for rubbing on the body as soon as it has cooled and thickened up more.

What I'm going to do with this mini crock pot full is divide it up and add beeswax to one portion so I can make it a thicker balm, and try to do a lotion with another portion. The remaining portion will stay as is. There is a LOT of cream there to experiment with.

I cut down the amount of menthol crystals too. Smells nice and the menthol will be cool soothing for the muscles. I also added vitamin E oil to act as a preservative.

I'm testing this batch out tonight on the back. We'll see if adding the concentrated oil makes a difference over just making the cream with crushed prime trim and cooking at low temp. :)

I can't see how using CCO wouldn't increase the efficacy of the creams Canna. I look forward to your post. My daughter has hip pain from a tumble down a flight of stairs about ten years ago that bothers her more as she ages. Lately it's been spreading that discomfort into her lower back. I'd like to help her gain relief from this too.

What I'd really like to do is get her exercising regularly again. Maybe if we can ease that pain she'll be more inclined to work with me and get back to Callanetics. My vacation has set me back with them. Haven't done them now in three weeks, since I was sick. Get me home already!!!
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

My sore back is from something stupid I did myself, backed into the corner of my center kitchen island. No fat...hit bone. LOL

We'll see how it goes. I would love to be able to test out the at home drug testing on this myself, but I'm tacking oil....of course I would fail miserably. :laugh:


Random question of the day.....How soon will it be that your local "budtender" will be as common as your local "bartender"?
