I've been making glycerin tincture and I'm very happy with the results. *
I use about 2 grams of dank bud per 1 ounce of glycerin, I've heard a lot of people suggest a 1:1 bud:glycerin ratio, but 2:1 works better for me, with a pretty high tolerance. A few drops sublingually works perfect and it's great dropped on some bud in the valcano or my vaporizer with a whip. *I would never smoke it with a flame, as that's not recommended to heat glycerin to combustion.
Anywas..after separating the bud from the glycerin and squeezing every last drop of liquid I can, I bottle it up in either 1/2 ounce or 1 ounce amber glass dropper bottles. Then I'm left with an ounce or two (more or less depending on the run) of ground buds (I do not use trim). The buds are still green and under a microscope look like they may still have some trichomes on them. Obviously the vast majority, if not closer to all of the THC has been extracted. But for some reason I've been saving the stuff so I have a decent quantity of bud that has already been soaked in glycerin.
Can I do anything with it, or is it completely trash? *Will all of the glycerin evaporate eventually if it is allowed to dry, or is it "tainted" for lack of a better word? *I would basically be interested in making cannabutter or oil for cooking or having a go at making some dry ice hash with these leftovers but I'm very interested in any suggestions of anything to do with it before I toss it.
Thanks for any input, I'm new to the forum. I hope to contribute just as much as learn.
