So im makin my first batch in about an hour and im still not positive about the whole alluminum foil thing. I'm planning on just using a pyrex dish and spreading it out evenly, is that gonna work?

Depends on what temp you use. 325 for 5 min it will make a big difference. All that extra mass that has to heat up with the weed will mean a longer time it needs to be in there.

Thank you very much for the info!

Wish me luck

Il post tmorow and let u guys know how it goes

Hey guys,

I'm getting an ounce some time next week, and I was thinking about trying my first foray in GD. I have a quick question about potency: Master Wu says that this recipe should convert one 1/8th of good bud into roughly 1 fluid ounce (30 ml, or "doses). He then says that 2 droppers was a spiritual dose, "as strong as any brownie".

How can this be? If there are 30 doses, and an 1/8th was the starting amount, that means there is roughly ~0.116 grams in each dose. Two droppers at that amount would be 1/4 of a gram. I've had firecrackers with nearly 4 times that amount, and I still wouldn't describe it as "spiritual". Where does this discrepancy come from? Is it just a more efficient extraction? I would assume that eating the plants (such as in firecrackers) would result in zero waste.

I'm confused Any ideas?

Eating the plant also requires your body to digest the plant material, the cracker, and the peanut butter. This takes a certain amount of time for stomach acids to break down the assorted food products, reduce it to chime and then be absorbed in your lower intestine.
There are a few things that can begin being absorbed in your stomach, among them; some drugs-particularly aspirin(don't have a clue about thc), fats, and alcohol. While some of the magic you want might be in the oil in the pb in your firecracker and might begin to be absorbed in your stomach it is also competing for digestive juices with all the other products that are part of the FC.
Thc in a high concentration bonded in an alcohol base solution and taken on an empty stomach will move into your system quicker, thus raising the amount in your system quicker. Compare it to sipping two beers over an hour will only slightly raise your blood alcohol level, but chug them in ten minutes and you would register legally drunk. Just my opinion, but I think I know that much physiology, although my A&P professor would probably say that I don't.

so i tried to make dragon masters liquer and i messed it up somehow

im gonna reattempt next week and just make a tincture

This might have been addressed but I couldn't find it. Anyway, Can you use only kief when making GD? I want to use 7 gms of high grade grand-daddy kief. How much 151 should I start with as I know you want the mixture to reduce by half roughly and have the potency for 1 dropper to be the dose.

I am thinking of starting with 8 oz 151 and reduce to 4 oz, while using 7 gms of the high grade kief. Comments???

Master Wu suggest smaller batches in the event of some type of unforseen problem arising. Your ratio is right on, but be on the conservative side and use 1/2 the amounts you are suggesting, you can always make more.
I've used this recipe about 10 times and the only time it failed was when I didn't dry the weed properly and didn't have a thermometer for the alcohol. Still got very high, but it was very expensive weed and a great disappointment when things didn't work out the way I expected.

:
so i made some changes to the recipe and it turned out extremely well
i bought 2 oz of mids for $50 instead of using an 8er of dank
Heres what i did

picked out all the stems and seeds then put buds through a regular grinder
took ground up bud and spread it out in a think circular brownie pan
put pan in oven at 225 degrees for 15 mins
took pan out
put pan back in the oven for an hour at 250 degrees
took pan out and put weed in a coffee grinder
ground up weed in coffee grinder until its a very fine powder

heres where i really started mixing things up

I took an espresso machine that i bought on craigslist for $15
filled the water tank up with everclear
took the sieve where the coffee grounds go, and put the weed powder in there instead
turned the machine on, and let it filter all the way through
then I took the weed espresso and put it back in the water tank so that it would filter through again (I did this step several times)

Then take your weed espresso, and you are now holding the best batch of green dragon ever created

Someone else should try this and let me know if they get results as good as me.

has anyone tried baking food using green dragon instead of butter?

I think anything that needed butter or oil as part of the recipe would need butter or oil with or without the added special ingredient. There was a former poster on the thread, Dragonrider, who would make edibles with special butter then put an eyedropper worth of GD on them after they were done for a double whammy. Just a thought.

Thanks KY1956,

I'm still just wondering, since alcohol evaporates when being cooked in the oven wouldnt the alcohol evaporate and any baked good would be left with the thc that was in the dragon? (i would still use all the other required ingrediants in the recipe such as butter etc.)
