A little bit of information my son's best friend came back from Colorado and gave me 3 100 mil chocolate bars and nothing and I ate the 3 of them at the same time well one at a time but you know what I mean lol
Yeah, but none of us were there to try it with you. Maybe he gave you hersheys with a fancy wrapper for a laugh :P plus, with edibles you can get higher than 300mg pretty easily. I say it's worth a try. Since if you still don't feel it you will have enough for your wife for a few months with her lower tolerance

How To Make A Cannabis Glycerine Tincture

Glycerin for Tinctures

The main benefits of making cannabis tincture with glycerin include:

  • Sweetness: Glycerin has a sweet and pleasant flavor that makes it an attractive solvent when making a herbal tincture.
  • Alcohol-free: The lack of alcohol makes the ingredient more suitable for an array of users, including those with an aversion to alcohol in general.
  • Moisturising: Some people use cannabis tinctures for topical purposes. Because glycerin has moisturising properties, it works much better for this purpose than strong alcohol, which can dry out the skin.
Some of the drawbacks of using glycerin when making tinctures include:

  • Extraction time: Glycerin takes longer to sufficiently extract cannabis phytochemicals than alcohol, which makes it unsuitable in some circumstances.
  • Solubility: Glycerin has a lower solubility than alcohol, meaning it doesn’t extract some desirable plant constituents as well.


What you get when you buy a medical tincture they use MCT oil and what ever ratio that needs to be infused by cooking unlike alcohol ones. Taste is awesome with those ones like eating a fresh picked bud.

When I tried glycerin it had almost no effect! I wonder if I messed up somewhere... I still have some in the closet because I thought I'd be using it more. Wonder if I didn't let it go long enough. It tasted like sweet bong water, lol
I haven't looked through the various links and definitely didn't read through the entire thread but I generally add a TBSP of liquid sunflower lecithin to the glycerin for much better uptake. Usually a 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup and a bunch of herbal brain massaging tidbits...
Recommend it for glycerin and oils.and I'd say when people are saying they slept half the day away would suggest they were getting some effects from it! lol

Can't I press some bud, decarb, mix with coconut oil, add lechitin and then won't that be good for infusing edibles or just take orally? Did that and added some to Dad's CBD oil we buy and it did affect him after I got the dosage up just not totally sure that's how they're making that CBD oil ie what carrier solution it is.

I think you need heat for the oil and thc to infuse. Otherwise you just have decarbed material stirred into oil, right? I am not a science lady o_O
