Green Dragon

'Guys', I'm confused about green dragon. Why is there no heating of the grass prior to soaking? As far I know, the THC in marijuana must be heated to make it active (only small quantities of active THC exist in raw weed). So if you're not baking your weed for 20min. before soaking in alcohol, you're wasting a lot of it.

 

cheers

------- Marijuana must be heated before being consumed to activate the cannabinoids so one cannot simply eat raw grass.

 

 

 

 

 

One may extract the active ingredients from marijuana using alcohol and then use this tincture to make a potent drink. The highest proof alcohol available should be used, preferably 190 proof grain alcohol, since the water in the alcohol will dissolve other chemicals in the marijuana that one wishes to avoid.

 

Some suggest soaking the grass in warm water for a period to remove those chemicals but that presents a whole host of other problems, and is not really recommended. One may simply place the marijuana into a bottle of grain alcohol and let the cannabinoids leach out, but this takes 2-3 weeks of time.

 

A faster method is to heat the alcohol to sub-boiling and stir in the marijuana. Great deal of care should be taken if this method is chosen as the alcohol is highly flammable . The resulting tincture, often called "Green Dragon", is a light to emerald green liquid, which can be drunk straight, but this is not recommended.

 

Highly lauded is a drink of 3 parts lemon lime soda, 1 part green dragon and a dollop of honey served over ice.
