I did it at 170f for 24-36hr , not 12

the same as described in this thread, but only evaporated until about maybe 75% of the alcohol is gone (I plan on using Everclear), then dipping the buds in that and then letting them air dry until the alcohol has completely dissipated. Then roll them in either kief or hash powder.
I use ISO as it’s cheap and readily available to clean my growing tools, wash out my jars, etc. I have made QWISO in the past with Everclear. It’s not available in MI either. I’ve ordered it online but it’s very expensive as you probably know. Too expensive to wash tools with!
I know some who have used 150 proof run or vodka, which is available down the street. For a tincture or a long soak like I did it should work, albeit not as good as 200 proof. Given that it’s readily available and relative cheap I’ll probably go in that direction for cleaning and future long soaks like I did this time, if I get a little edible alcohol in my CCO, who cares.
ISO is really bad taken internal so I wouldn’t recommend it. Having said that, I suppose with the proper equipment one could completely remove all traces of iso, but cost is always an issue.
Just looked up 99% iso and could find nothing on consuming it.
I am going to stick with 190 proof,
Hi @SweetSue A few months ago you gave me some advice for making infused coconut oil. It may have been on a different thread. I used to make my oil in a pan on the stove, and then I started trying to make it overnight in the oven. I have zero success with this method. The oil looks beautiful and dark and my most recent batch I added lecithin because I read that the lecithin increases the potency of dose by helping the body to absorb it. It looks and tastes good but I am feeling no effect whatsoever. I decarbed for an hour and a half in the oven at 115 C, then infused the oil for 12 hours at 70 C. I remember you suggested something with the heat but I can't find the reference and I didn't put it into practice immediately. Now my question is this... if I reheat the oil, can it be fixed, or should I scrap it and use it as regular cooking oil? I used trim with a lot of loose bud, so there was good raw material for this batch.
For 8 ounces of oil with 15% THC flowers, 20 grams will get you somewhere around 10mg THC/ml of oil at 80% efficiency.
Thanks all. I had no problem when I did it in a pan for shorter time. This batch was trim heavy with loads of loose bud. There were a lot of trichomes in the oil and it was more than 1 to 1. I give up lol. If I ever get serious I will get a machine

So conversations are private msgs? I know I used to do this. lolclick her signature go to conversations or go to top of page and hit inbox
Thank you @SweetSue I guess it must be that there was not enough in the trim. It was part skunk and part silver haze. I thought that could make a nice combo. I made banana muffins with the oil. I will treat it as a multi-vitamin this time and aim for the high next time.
It's interesting hearing you talking about getting high. I need to be high all the time but I am strain sensitive so it really matters what goes into my body. I don't need a lot to get high but I have an optimal point that I prefer not to exceed, so that I can retain a good level of productivity. I need the focus, pain relief and gentle euphoria during the day, and drowsiness at night. I think that science of this is hugely important and it's exciting to be watching the pioneering unfold. I think there is alchemy in how we choose to feed and medicate ourselves. It is pretty hit and miss to start off with but we refine it over the years, as we learn to listen to our bodies and respond to their prompts. I think intuition often senses science more deeply than status quo has evidence for, so it is likely in my mind that there is an effect on the receptors, and so it is important to monitor them. Each person is unique and this is where the alchemy comes in. I can liken it to a psychiatrist prescribing to medicate mental health conditions. They don't really know how the complex neurochemical system works and they prescribe by guess work at best. It interests me how pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed so willy nilly when there is so little real science to support the use of so many of them.Exactly how I’m coming to think of cannabis.
I’ve also been considering why I can get away with being so high for so many years and still be productive in all aspects of my life if it’s true that an overdose of THC will make the receptors pull back from the surface, thus increasing tolerance levels.
The story is supposed to go, “Get high all the time and it takes more to get you high. Eventually you get frustrated and can’t get high anymore.”
The danger of assuming everyone reacts the same to cannabis doses, eh?
I use more cannabis product than the average citizen, but that’s because
1) I have abundant access, not the norm for our societies.
2) I have no fear of euphoria. I’ve been trying for years to find the point where I’m so high that I can’t function. I reach a certain level, some distraction sparks curiosity, and I’m off and falling down another rabbit hole.
But now I’m wondering if it’s really true that the receptors are that difficult to keep available. That company line doesn’t appear to hold true for me. I get higher than most. It’s not that I have to use more product to get high, it’s that I prefer life in the stratosphere, and it takes more bud to get up there. I’m wondering if we really know enough to say that’s what’s going on.
Crap! Now I’m gonna have to go looking closer to see how much science really knows about receptors.
And there’s that re-accruing thought about getting a degree in cellular biology.
I’m feeling for my rhythm guys, and still settling into this new community. I used to have a time to be with the community - all day and all night long. Things have changed dramatically and I haven’t found that happy rhythm yet.
The study and writing are calling louder every day. I’ve been dedicating each month to a different focus since I got the apartment, and next month is slated to be study and writing. Should be fun around here if this month is any indication. I made this one “The Month Of Susan” and it’s dedicated to taking note of all the little things I do that increase joy in my life.
Like being in this room full of curious minds.
I have not seen any studies about tolorance build up, only read statements that sounded authoritative. I do know that when I do edibles3 or 4 days in a row it takes me about 25% more each time to get me to the same place. So, for me, there is something to it. I cut back because of the cost to get there on day 3 or 4 is just crazy. Speaking for those of us that do not have a tent full to feed from. lol. Furthermore, after say 4 days of large doses, I get more undesirable qualities than good ones. But edibles are king for me. A high dose for me is more of a shroom high than weed. Love it but the tolerance thing keeps me in check ...a bit.It's interesting hearing you talking about getting high.
