The end goal would be to have a weed buzz that is of appropriate magnitude for the amount of alcohol consumed.
For example, weeknights I typically have 1 drink. Lately, it has been rum and coke. 1 drink isn’t the same for everyone, but in general we all know how 1 drink feels. I’d like to match that “1 drink” feeling with equivalent “weed buzz”, which for me is probably about 5mg of THC. I don’t necessarily want to “feel stoned”, just like I don’t “feel drunk” from one drink.
Likewise, when Friday rolls around and I have 3 or 4 rum and cokes, I feel pretty booze buzzed. Not “hammered”. An equivalent “weed buzz” is all I am aiming for. I don’t want to be “fuckin’ baked man” or comatose on the couch for 6 hours.
Regarding flavour, I couldn’t care less. In fact I enjoy “bitters” and drinks like Jaegermeister, Unicum, Becherovka, etc.
This is why I like tincture, I can titrate my tincture for the buzz I like. For example if I know I get the buzz I want from 1/2 ml I know I can use 1/2 ml per drink and get the buzz I want. It also gives you the option of having one drink with weed and the other 3 without.
That being said, usually an alcohol extraction is about 75% efficient. So you can estimate potency. For example, if you have 1 gram of 20% THC buds that’s 200mg. The extraction would be 75% efficient so you have about 150 mg in the alcohol. So add a gram of decarbed weed to 30 oz of alcohol to get your desired potency.
Love Becherovka! Too many sick memories with Jaegermeister. Not the good sick.
I encourage you to try a decarbed 151 tincture with an oz or two. There will be all sorts of time for precise potency adjustment when it comes out of the freezer and the titration will be good for the whole batch.
Hundreds of precisely (to the drop) measured drinks from a liter of 151!
If it doesn’t please you can still use it to make some gummies or cookies or massage oil.
I was thinking of an oz of weed. I last used 10 grams of ground dekiefed slop (mixed, unimpressive, low shelf, dispensary regs) and half a mug of Everclear to make a tincture that buzzes me at 1.5 droppers full. It’s all about the titration. If you don’t feel it, use more untill you have what you want.
@ReikoX will give better numbers. I am sloppy but happy.
My previous batch was cool evaporated into this, which will likely be used in the making of cannagars or other potent joints.
Note: if you want that, you don’t need to decarb though it doesn’t hurt.
In case it’s not clear:
Titrate will be the same process as with Everclear. It’s just a sciency way to say - sample small quantities until you feel it and adjust from there.
Shorter, quicker high if you go with sublingual. Longer and heavier high when it goes through your stomach etc, which is what it will do in a drink.
Good luck with that. I never had it and I don’t know if I’d find it disgusting or great. I guess you have to go through these stages one after another.
