Equipment

Make sure to decarb your cannabis.
Add cannabis to a mason jar and pour just enough alcohol to cover the plant material completely.
Screw on a lid and give the jar a gentle shake.
Put the jar in a cool dark place for 24 hours, shaking gently occasionally. You can go longer, but you'll be pulling out more chlorophyll for small increase in potency. That is up to your preference.
Strain using your preferred straining method (see our notes below).
You now have cannabis tincture or Green Dragon. Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place.

This recipe card shows how to make a Green Dragon tincture, but you can also check out how to make a Golden Dragon tincture above.

For dosing help, try our edibles dosage calculator.

Label it. Mark every container as cannabis-infused, with the estimated dose per serving and the date you made it.
Lock it up. Store edibles out of sight and reach of children and pets, away from your regular food. A locked box is best.
Start low, go slow. Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. Wait at least 2 hours before eating more.
Skip it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and never drive after eating edibles.
If a child or pet eats some, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 (US) or your vet right away. Call 911 if someone has trouble breathing or won't wake up.
