Bill2000,
This is a great post. It opens great avenues for exploration if one is inclined to experiment or many recipes to simply follow if that is what one prefers.
I am especially thankful for the GREEN Dragon recipe because it sets me on the path towards making a very concentrated tincture, or even a very concentrated oil, by evaporating the alcohol away and maybe adding just a little bit of oil to the nearly dry THC residue.
One question I have though, is how do I know what the maximum amount of marijuana I cans use for a given amount of (1) butter, (2) cooking oil and (3) alcohol before I reach saturation of THC in the carrier material and start wasting marijuana?
I am trying to concentrate the THC as much as possible so that I can store more active ingredient (canaboids)/ounce of "prepared marijuana" which is the way Washington State determines our "60 day supply" possession limit for medical marijuana patients.
Thank you again for the excellent post and any additional advice you can give me on concetrating the THC as much as possible.
