Hey guys, this is my first post and I am a big enthusiast. I discovered this a while ago and decided to make an online guide to teach others who wish to learn.

Using this recipe with 1/8'th you can be higher than you can get smoking, every day for a month! This recipe is really amazing and has changed the way I use cannabis.

Here is the guide, do not worry my website wont ask you for an email address or anything like that, it is only a 1 page simple guide:

I used Master Wu's recipe 3 times with a high degree of accuracy. I even used a digital thermometer in the oven and manually turned the heat on and off to insure a consistent 325 deg. F. I did that because the thermostat on an oven can be way off and even if its accurate, the heat will cycle approx 15 degs. above and below the target temp. My finished product was one ounce as Master Wu states, the problem is the potency is very low. I believe the problem is the oven temp he suggests is too high. While I have used that temperature with great success in the past, I think for some weed, the thc vaporizes. I looked into this further and found out that thc has a vaporization range of 260 - 390 deg. F.. So I believe the particular strain of weed that I used had a lot of thc that vaped at the 325f. temp. Furter research indicates that all thc is activated at 175 deg.F. , so I'm trying another batch using the bake temp of 200 def. F for 20 mins. as others have done. I will post to let you know how this works. I suspect it will do the trick. I'm not sure why Master Wu suggests 325F. if 175F. is all that's needed. One could argue that my extraction didn't work. I can tell you I used everclear for a 20 min boil at 170 deg. F. which is precisely as Master Wu specifies. If the problem were in the extraction, meaning that I didn't sufficiently extract the thc from the weed, then the spent weed will get me high. Fortunately I saved the spent weed just in case. So I will give the results of the "new batch" along with a smoke report of the spent weed from the first 3 batches.

Cheers.

Now i was just wondering is this recipe proven to work, and how potent will it be if done correctly. Also is it work do what kind of a high comes from using mary jane this way. Thanks alot.

I just made some and took 2 drops, i feel a mild buzz and its been about 40 mins... i will let you know in a couple hours how im doing. i had tried it before with not great quality pot and with bacardi superior because the person picking up the alc made a mistake, and me and a couple friends split the whole product and our tongues got a little numb but not anything else too noticable. I did the recipe linked to in the first post, verbatim

Im brewing up something similar,

Busted up 4 grams of bud, and put it into a mickey of vodka only 40% but will prob try the 151 proof if this turns out decent.

I've been letting it sit at room tempature giving the bottle a good shake every morning (just after blazing one, those bubbles!!!) lol

Had it sitting for about 5 days now, only problem... i have no idea how long i should let it sit sooooo unless i hear otherwise. I got 25 more days to go

Ive done the same method as Heavysmoke. Anywhere from one week to two months work, but best results are post-three weeks.

However using only a eyedropper in water wont work with this method, you gotta strain and drink straight up. Tastes vile. (First time i had it, it wasnt strained. Yuchh!)

Ive never tried the 'cooking' method however i imagine the feeling would be different then the method me/heavysmoke have employed.

That basicly felt like a very happy, bubbly exciting drunk

i use Master Wu's method. I have used it many times...
I have found it takes a couple times to GET the method, but it does work!!!
I have AJUSTED things for myself (oven time and temp, amount of alcohol...) and a 1/8 of primo lasts me a month!!!
depending on the weed, 1 dropper full will BUZZ me for 5 hours
2 dropper full will BLAST me for 5 hours...
Master Wu's meathod is WAY better than the SOAK method by far.
Yes the feeling is a little differnt...but a NICE differnt.....

If your method is different than the one you posted could you explain what changes you made?
akunuka

I follow the BASIC method..
BUT
i put the MJ on foil on a bakeing stone
Thats cuzz i have a electric oven..
I also use 3 oz of everclear, so i can simmer my brew longer...
and i bake for a few mins more... But i think thats because of the oven....

hi,
would this method work with EEV olive oil?
also, if so, is the water simmer temp any different (still do it at 170F)?

thanks,

Nevermind my last post.

I've been having problems with this method. I did it yesterday, following the method outlined at http://www.greendragonsoda.com/. The only difference is that I used an 1/8th of weed (like Master Wu) and I baked the weed at about 200-210F for about 25 minutes (used thermometer). I yielded 1oz of GD from 2oz of lemon extract (83% ethanol). My friend and I tried a dropper-full and neither of us felt anything. I was so upset. I thought I followed it so well for a first time, the results were truly disappointing.

Frustrated, I thought that perhaps I didn't give the weed enough time to dissolve in the alcohol. So today, I put the weed back in the GD and simmered it at just under 150F for an hour. Then I let it slow cool for another hour, then strained the remaining liquid. Recovered about .8oz of GD. I tried another dropper full about 3 hours ago and so far, N-O-T-H-I-N-G-!

Does anyone know WTF I could have done wrong? The only thing I can think of is that the pre-baking failed, but I did additional research. The decarboxylation of THCA to THC occurs naturally and constantly. Heating just speeds up the process. So even if the oven didn't fully convert the THCA, the hot water bath should have taken care of the rest. So I have -no- idea what could have went wrong. I used dank bud, too.

Thanks for any help,

that guy is gonna burn him self ,or someone else

don`t bother would be my opinion

i'm in the process of creating a Green Dragon and am using the easiest/laziest method: dump a q of bud in, leave it in the dark, shake it every day for ~2-3 weeks.

i started on Feb 4th (2 wks ago exactly) and will post pics of the progress.

day 1 (feb4):
got this clear spring bottle at the duty-free shop for $12. the smell is so strong it burned my nose and just a small sip burned my ears! here it is with the bud just put in:

day 3 (feb6):
the 'clear' spring has turned into a 'kool-aid green' spring:

day 15 (feb18):
it seems the bigger buds are turning quite pale, which i'm assume the THC has been sucked out of it. when i open the bottle and smell the concoction i can really notice the weed smell along with the vodka

not only is it a waste of time and bud, mixing nug with alcohol is a SACRILEGE!

have you even ever tried it? i used a q of real old, dry bud so i don't really care. and people mix bud with butter and chocolate so what is your point?

I really can't wait to hear about your results Little D!

If I might put in two cents worth, olive oil has worked great for me, with the best results at a temperature of 200 degrees F.

i'll let you know, Gecko hopefully i will be able to enjoy it weekend after next.

my friend made pretty much the same batch as i and it seemed to have worked. took an hour or so to kick in then enjoy the ride! although drinking it straight up will taste like ass, can anyone recommend some mixers for the green dragon (shot glass' worth at most)?

my friend is thinking of modifying a shot he did while in the Dominican:
shot glass, put in a thick syrup-y mix, pour the green dragon on top so it layers, light in on fire then drink thru a straw. forgot the mix name but i'm not sure about lighting 190proof vodka on fire, even if it is a tiny amount.

I've always read that Green Dragon is best mixed in a citrus-type soft drink, like 7-Up. I'm just about to make some myself. Not only is it a different way to consume THC, but it is also called for in some recipes, like hard candies and lollipops.

slow (stoner way) update:

the final product was some real interesting stuff. my friends would take a half shot and be blitzing for hours. i, on the other hand, would get more drunk than high and it would only last about 40mins. i'm thinking its the way my metabolism works (same way when eating cannabis).

but don't let that discourage you. i'm guessing this is a unique case. after a whole shot's worth (ugh. tastes like burning. literally) i was pretty drunk within minutes. my friend was sipping on it before and during TDK and said he was thinking to himself 'this is so intense.' over and over. haha.

anyway, try it out for yourselves. you probably won't be disappointed. if you follow what i've done that whole bottle can last months on end. unless if you love guzzlin the 190 proof.

i was wondering , can u use the leafs and other leftovers from ur plants to make this?its either this or hash maybe both is what i want to do w/ my "leftovers"

Indeed, just use a lot of clippings if that b tha case.

I'm glad to see Master Wu's recipe is getting around. This is my primary way of MJ intake and IMO is the best method around.

One thing I will add, if I may, is to use as high an alcohol content that you can buy. I like to use 94% Alcool from Quebec. I dissolves more THC than the Bacardi 151. Two ml (two droppers full) is enough to keep me going for 4 hrs. I have done 4 but it knocks me on my ass. If you need pain killers, this is the best.

What is the strength of the alcohol after the process? Doesn't most of it cook off during the warm water bath?

i have some moonshine that has been kicking around for a while i think I will give it a try unless somebody has a reason why it would not be a good idea.keep u posted

it is a good idea. do it dirt demon. do it.

i made some Master Wu's the other day from everclear. really better to mix it into something first...

the strength of the alcohol was just as strong, if you still got your ears on, LadyJane.

I sometimes water cur buds before using them in Green Dragon. The resulting liquor is a very pale golden color without any chlorophyll in it.

After that I dilute it down to about 80 proof using distilled water. Sometimes I add flavoring such as dried orange peel or various essential oils (almond is nice).

Thanks for the tips Osg. I'll give the water cure a try next time.

My next run I think I'll add more medicinal herbs to the tinc (e.g., kava kava, valerian, coltsfoot, feverfew, eyebright,etc..)

peace

i've made two small (1 oz) batches of this stuff, basically following master wuu's methods, with the latter batch coming out a little stronger then the first. there were 2 variable involved, one being the bud involved, the second being a small difference to the cooking setup.

as for the bud, both times i used highest quality stuff, weighed out 3.5 grams, in 2 oz of alcohol. The first bud being one of a more indica variety; the second being more of sativa genetics. Im not sure if you all have seen the same results, but i felt as if the 'high' i got from smoking them, was the type of high i got from them when drinking the green dragon.

the second variable was in the cooking method.
the first time i put the alcohol mixture in a larger/wider jar, so that it was more spread out. I put that jar directly into the pot, and slowly heated the water and jar together, and once the mixture started boiling (reached 170*) started the 20 min timer. this method burned off about 60% of total volume.

the second time around, i decided to use a double broiler. I felt that the first time, maybe since the glass holding the mixture was directly in contact with the bottom of the pan used for holding the water bath, that the energy/heat transferred to it was actually above the temp of the alcohol mixture, maybe affecting how much green dragon/alcohol boiled out. With the double broiler, it seemed to me that the mixture could more evenly heated. I also had the water level higher on the second batch, but i dont think it mattered). The other difference i made, was i heated the water to about 160 degrees (small bubble first start to form), then stuck a smaller/narrower container full of the alcohol mixture in the water bath, and slowly heated it to 170*. This method yielded almost an exact 50% ratio of green dragon when finished.

as i said before, the second batch seemed to work 'better' (ie affects were felt stronger), but i'm not sure if it was because of the type of pot used. Each time, we've tested starting with 1ml (barely noticable affect), to 2.5ml (buzzed, but not blown), to 5 ml (good dosage, but wasnt overwhelmingly-knock-you-on-your-ass-potent) The problem is, when i make this for the third time, i will be using a different strain once again. This time i picked out something less potent then the 'medical' strain, but wont be afraid of wasting if it doesnt turn out. I've also decided to bake the green for a longer time, but at a lower temp. I will report back, and let you all know the results.

ps, both time the green dragon looked and tasted exactly the same. i wish there was a good method to measure potency. I will also say i tried smoking what was left of the brown bud after the alcohol dried out, and it had no thc in it that i could feel. was like smoking that fake shit you get at the headshop...

I've been doing this since before the new year, each time no real measurements were used. The oven times used were between 220 for 10  minutes, and 250 for 5 minutes. I've tried the soak method, and I've tried the hot water bath method. But I kept one thing the same, instead of using 1 strain, use multiple strains. Keep it, mostly indica dominate. But, don't be afraid to mix it up a little. Think of it like cooking, a pinch of this, a dash of that. Mines come out successful each time, each time I've used strains that were in the medicinal group, kush in several varieties, blue dream, Mr nice guy, etc... Each batch, the effects were almost instant. The key to a successful tincture, is to use several strains.
