I think I'm addicted to the Vice channel. And Weediquette. Some new shows on today.
Every time they show pot growers, they are trimming their outdoor plants. I think I need to do a lot more leaf clipping . So we get to the hotly debated question .To clip or not to clip.

Marijuana Tincture Tales
Are you ready for a taste of the least controversial method of consuming cannabis ever! Tinctures have been described as the most underrated of all the pot products because there aren’t as many fun and potentially punishable reefer rituals associated with the use of tinctures. Tinctures are arguably underutilized compared to raw flowers, edibles and dabs because of how well they work. Tinctures are nothing new, in spite of how novel they are to so many cannabis consumers. Tincture was the primaryform of cannabis medicine until it was banned in 1937.

You may not have heard about marijuana tinctures yet because an eyedropper full of medicine just doesn’t have the same stigma that edibles or dabbing does. You don’t need a creme brulee blow torch in order to medicate with a tincture, which is why tinctures don’t have any derogatory mainstream media monikers such as the crack of cannabis. You’re also much less likely to overdose or “overdowd” on a cannabis tincture than you are with a marijuana edible for reasons we’ll explain later in this post.

Tinctures have been described as the moonshine of marijuana because of how they are made. However, making marijuana tincture takes up much less space and is significantly less likely to cause an explosion than a traditional moonshine still. Making tinctures is much less dangerous and therefore less controversial than making cannabis concentrates with butane for example. You’re chances of creating an explosion that will destroy your entire home are non-existent with most tincture making. We’ll also share three different tried and true marijuana tincture making methods for you to experiment with at home.

Easy To Take
Drops of tincture solution are squeezed out through an eyedropper syringe under your tongue. The major advantage of this sublingual administration method is that the medicine is rapidly absorbed through the body’s main blood supply to the tongue, the sublingual artery. This artery arises from the external carotid artery, which in turn is close to the internal carotid artery which allows the medicine to quickly reach the brain. This process of osmosis through the sublingual artery is ideal for patients suffering from pain due to gastrointestinal difficulties such as ulcers, hyperactive gut, coeliac disease and other digestion issues that might make an edible less palatable.

Cannabis smoke is in no way conclusively linked to any kind of cancer, however sublingual ingestion of cannabis tinctures is of course ideal for anyone who may be concerned about the perceived health risks of inhaling smoke of any kind into one’s lungs.

Tinctures are also ideal for anyone who may be too sick, too old or too young (like Charlotte Figi was) to properly smoke or even vaporize cannabis. Tinctures are also well regarded by seasoned stoners as an effective recreational high that you can stealthily enjoy in most social situations without drawing the same attention to yourself that the smell of cannabis smoke can and often will.

The onset of the euphoric effects of a tincture will kick in just a little bit slower than they would if you were smoking and much faster than they would from an edible of the same strain of weed. You’ll feel the effects of 2 to 3 drops under your tongue within about 15 minutes. This is why tinctures are infinitely superior to edibles in terms of titration or the process of trial and error by which you determine the right amount of cannabis that your unique endocannabinoid system requires in order to feel optimal.

It is important to remember NOT to swallow your tincture drops if you want the full benefits of sublingual absorption. You can of course swallow your tincture, or even add it to tea, juice or food like many patients do. However, the delta-9-THC in your tincture will transform into 11-Hydroxy-THC when it passes through the liver of your gastrointestinal tract which can take up to two hours or more for you to feel the effects depending on your metabolism.

Ingested 11-Hydroxy-THC can be felt up to 4 to 5 times stronger than inhaled Delta-9-THC, according to NORML, but it can take up to 4 to 10 times as much oral cannabis itself in order to feel the same effects, according to Jay R. Cavanaugh, Ph.D.

So again, remember not to swallow and to just let your tincture solution dissolve under your tongue for about 30 seconds or else it will most likely take much longer to feel its effects. Your tincture will likely contain about 60% THC, which is a lot! So start slow with your tincture titration until you get a feel for the potency of your medication. Take 2 to 3 drops at a time and wait an hour and a half before consuming more.

Easy To Make
Tinctures are very economical. A small bottle of about 100 drops of marijuana tincture typically costs $20 dollars. You can make even bigger batches on a relatively small budget if you learn how to make your own homemade tinctures.

You can make marijuana tinctures out of grain alcohol or glycerin, however high-proof alcohol, such as Everclear based tinctures, are the most common and easiest to make.

THC, the active ingredient in all cannabis medication, exists as THCA until it is decarboxylated, usually through heat, into THC. The alcohol bath dissolves, decarboxylates and preserves the raw THCA into THC in lieu of heat.

The Cold Method
The cold method is the easiest way to brew marijuana tinctures since this method doesn’t involve any cooking. First, simply break your cannabis up into some smaller pieces and place it in a glass mason jar. You can use as much or as little marijuana as you like to strain into your tincture. Just make sure that the bud you use is dry. Fresh, moist weed just doesn’t make for good tinctures. The next step is to pour in enough ethyl alcohol to keep the plant material covered. You can expect to use approximately one gram of marijuana per one fluid ounce of ethyl alcohol however, the weed to alcohol ratio doesn’t have to be exact. Screw the lid back on. Shake it up. Store the concoction in your freezer for up to five days and give it a good shake once or twice every day. You’ll see the plant matter dissolving. After roughly five days you can strain the tincture over a cheese cloth, metal tea strainer or silk screen into a bowl and then add it to your small dark tincture bottle(s) with the dropper. It really is this simple!

The Warm Method
The warm or traditional method of making tinctures is identical to the cold method but without the freezer. Just leave your mason jar of weed and alcohol in a cool, dry place free of sunlight for 30 to 60 days before straining into a tincture bottle. The saying ‘make on the new moon; strain on the full moon’ is why some people call tinctures the moonshine of marijuana.

The Hot Method
The hot or Green Dragon method is the quickest to make. To begin, chop your cannabis flower up as finely as you can. Place it on a cookie sheet in the oven at 325°F for about 5 minutes, or until your entire home begins to smell like weed. Mix your baked bud with high proof alcohol in a mason jar. Simmer the uncovered mason jar mixture in about 1 inch of boiling water in a frying pan until the temp reaches 165°F (which you will need a thermometer to check). The mixture shouldn’t boil at 165°F. If it does, just turn down the heat of the water bath. Additionally, it’s usually a good idea to keep the kitchen fan on or at the very least make sure that you are in a well-ventilated area. Let the mixture cool off, then strain the tincture from any leftover plant matter into a new bowl and dab with the dropper into a tincture bottle.

You can also invest in a custom Magical Butter cannabis processor to make hot method tinctures. Simply place the weed and alcohol in the Magical Butter machine, push the tincture button and your tincture will be ready to strain with a custom Magical Butter bag in 4 hours.

Lastly, you can combine 5.5 grams of baked, decarboxylated cannabis with 2 ounces of high USP Food grade glycerine into a sealable mason jar and then let it cook on top of a washcloth in a few inches of water in a crock pot on the low setting for 18-24 hours. Let the mixture cool for about 20 minutes then strain over a cheesecloth and use your dropper to transfer over to a tincture bottle.

Taking All The Tincture In
Tinctures were an effective time-honored weed tradition in this country and across the globe long before prohibition made it harder for us to get our medicine. They’re making a comeback in the modern cannabis community because of how much more effective they are than edibles in terms of providing adequate, titrated doses of cannabis for new patients. Remember to let your tincture drops absorb for about 30 seconds under your tongue into your sublingual artery which should result in a good body high in about 15 minutes.

Tinctures are relatively cheap and you can find them at any dispensary. Tinctures are very easy to make as well. The traditional, warm method will take you about a month to make. The hot dragon method is far and away the fastest way to make and take a tincture. We suggest trying the cold method first since it involves the least amount of effort and wait time before you can taste your first homemade tincture. Enjoy!
