Here’s a simple DIY cannabis project: Homemade Cannabis Tincture (Green Dragon)
This is an easy way to create a versatile cannabis product that can be used sublingually, in recipes, or infused into drinks.
---
Ingredients and Materials
1 ounce of cannabis flower (or desired amount)
High-proof alcohol (e.g., Everclear or similar 190-proof alcohol)
Mason jar with a tight lid
Cheesecloth or coffee filter
Dark glass dropper bottles for storage
Grinder
Baking sheet and oven
---
Instructions
1. Decarboxylate the Cannabis
Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
Grind the cannabis into small, uniform pieces (not too fine).
Spread it evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even decarboxylation.
This activates the THC/CBD in the flower.
2. Prepare the Jar
Place the decarboxylated cannabis into a mason jar.
Pour enough alcohol to completely submerge the cannabis.
Seal the jar tightly.
3. Infuse the Mixture
Shake the jar vigorously for 2-3 minutes.
Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 2-3 weeks. Shake it once a day to mix the contents.
For a faster infusion, you can use a double boiler method to gently heat the mixture (not exceeding 150°F) for a few hours.
4. Strain the Tincture
After the infusion period, strain the mixture through cheesecloth or a coffee filter into a clean container to remove plant material.
Squeeze the cloth to get every last drop of liquid.
5. Bottle the Tincture
Transfer the liquid into dark glass dropper bottles to protect it from light.
Label your bottles with the date and potency (if known).

Usage
Start with a small dose (1-2 drops) under the tongue and wait an hour to gauge effects.
Use in recipes like cocktails, teas, or desserts for a cannabis-infused treat.
This tincture can last for years if stored properly in a cool, dark place!
