Citric acid and tinctures

[Coz the Shroom]

I tried doing a citric acid decarb and it doesn't work.

If I can make it work, you'll be the first to know. Don't hold yer breath. Now that my tolerance is down a quick run through my $60 decarb machine is all I need!

I've decarbed just about every way possible, but this method was supposed to be so much better! I made some RHO a few weeks ago. Last weekend I mixed some with 99% ethylene and drank it, worked very well! I had dried the buds at 200°F for 30 minutes, then cooked the oil post-extraction at 250°F for 25 minutes. I probably have to play with times to get better results but it actually worked quite well. I had a nice, social buzz for several hours.

Edit: Ethanol, not ethylene. Ethylene Glycol will kill you.

Try one of these for some help...not sure about the glycerin though.

HERBAL EXTRACTS VIA CITRIC ACID

1/4 once of dried oregano extracted in citric acid in 4 days. It's still powerful even if it has lost its green color. Its loaded wit...

That's awesome will be doing soon ,after it's ready after five days and take out roll into ball or however u choose you can just eat? The citric acid won't burn you? When eating

I have training in chemistry. I have never heard of this procedure in this context or any other. I worry that this is a hoax on the scale of “ microwave your phone in order to recharge it.”

no you can really decarb weed with acid.last time i saw it on a cooking show where a dude made a salat from leafs and flower and everybody got high as fuck.theorie was that the heat from the blender did it or acids from dressings

Say I use dried buds freeze them with 190 proof grain in freezer for 24 hours then add grain to weed shake for 2 min strain should I cook that in oven for 20 at 250* then evaporate with fan to get 2 ounces to use as tincture?

After a week it's safe to eat raw or put in your drink or food?

I use a $30 double boiler I got from Walmart. It's easy and mostly hands-off. You would want the alcohol completely removed before sticking it in the oven, I would think. I can imagine explosions in the oven...

I believe the process of using heat to remove the alcohol will at least partially decarboxylate but the only hash oil I've decarbed and eaten was made using butane. You don't need heat to remove the butane, so a prebake to remove moisture and a postbake to remove trace butane and finish decarb is easier to estimate required times for.
