What is Green Dragon?
Green Dragon is a strong tincture made with alcohol and weed.
Ingredients
Alcohol
You must use high proof food grade alcohol such as Everclear 190 proof or Bacardi 151.
Weed
You must use decarboxylated cannabis to make Green Dragon. To decarboxylate cannabis, break up weed into small pieces and place in the oven at 240°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
How to Make Green Dragon
Put 14 grams of decarboxylated cannabis into a clean mason jar. Next, measure out 375 mL alcohol. Pour the alcohol into the jar with the cannabis. Now you can put the lid on the jar and shake it thoroughly. Finally, set the jar in a cool, dark place for 3 weeks. Make sure that you agitate the jar once a day.
After 3 weeks, pour the contents of the jar through a strainer into a measuring cup. Lastly, use a small funnel to pour the liquid into 30 mL dropper bottles.
How Do I Use Green Dragon?
Put 5 to 10 drops of tincture under your tongue to test the effects. You should feel the effects within about 10 minutes. Green Dragon can also be added to drinks and meals and the effects could be delayed for up to 2 hours.
