So 80 proof alcohol is 40% alcohol, yes it will extract the thc, but don’t scientifically know if the higher percentage alcohol’s are better able for the extraction...I’ve extracted with 100% (200 proof) alcohol, certainly works but very tough to use as a tincture for that same strength reason...Going in a totally different direction now to infused coconut oil capsules, and ground MJ capsules (all de-carb’d) MJ prior for ingestion...
PS vegetable glycerin can also be used to extract THC, and doesn’t have the harshness problem, that alcohol tinctures have.
