@MDBuds hi I’m getting ready to make a alcohol free pain tincture for chronic pancreatitis for my daughter. She handles high thc levels & currently uses 3 cc’s of RSO for pain.
I’m hoping to create something for her to take daily so she can keep it in her system continuously. Right now RSO chocolates are her go to. I thought if I made a tincture/tonic she could take it 1 or 2 xs daily she might be able to reduce the amount of edibles she goes through everyday. Keep those for flare ups.
If I remember correctly, coconut oil/butter is better to use then veg glycerin, correct? The body absorbs it better.
She is extremely malnourished because she hasn’t been able to eat much since July. I wanted to add THCA (nutrients) through a cold process & another process to heat it up to activate the THC (pain). Please correct at any point 
.
So I would create 2 types then combine them so she would benefit from all of1 it.
I have several grams of keif & soon I will have Blueberry available.
My issue; I’m confused about what ratios to to use of what 
I need it strong!!!
Could you help me figure out the amounts of what I should use to make my recipe? It would be a quart size jar. As always I appreciate your input. 
@LilMic I can give you approximations based on average strain statistics for dosage but I would need to know what strains you plan to use and the measured weight of the keif you are using. Coconut oil and butter is better to use than vg yes because they bind better to cannabinoids but if you want something to help with nourishment as well it would be best to use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and some liquid sunflower lecithin.
In the article I posted it breaks down the average absorption rates of each base I listed and how much to use.
Basically to figure it out though you need to know the potency of your cannabis. You then multiply the potency by the decarb rate. Average decarb rate is 70% +/- 5%.
So if you have 1 gram of bud with 20% thc that would be 200 mg thc per gram. 200x.7 would be 140mg. Then you multiply that by the absorption rate of the tincture base. If you used butter it would be 140x.86 for the maximum absorption if you buy the good butter and heat it properly.
So, before I can give you the full break down of what you would need I need you to tell me exactly what you have to work with as far as flower and keif. Once you tell me the weight of the flower and keif you have and what items you have available I can tell you exactly how to prepare it to make it as potent as possible.
@MDBuds hello. Ok, I have 3 grams of keif mixture made from blue Dream, NY Sunshine, Maui Wowie & Purple Urkle.
I have 1 oz of Super Silver Haze, 2 ozs of Blueberry & 2 ozs of Bleugenius.
Silver Haze THC upto 18%
Blueberry THC 16 20%
Bleugenius CBD 10 - 13%
In your example you had 1 gram with 20% THC. How did you get the 200? I’m bad at math sorry.
Where is the article you posted located please much appreciated!! Ty very much
@LilMic thc content is measured by weight. 1 gram is 10 decigrams, 100 centigrams, or 1000 milligrams.
Since thc is measured in milligrams you multiply the weight of 1 gram of cannabis by the percentage of thc to get the wight. So if a strain has 20% thc by weight you multiply 1000mgX.20 to get 200 mg.
I’ll post the link for you here again and I’ll do some math for you when I have the time and pm you with what you need to do.
Just like calculating sales tax. Sorry bad joke. Hopefully not 20%.
How did you make this?!
@MDBuds Any advice on treatment for my wife’s conditions?
In general she has high self-imposed stress, auto-immune conditions causing her extreme fatigue and joint pain.
She started takin 2-3 hits each night of the Gelato Auto from my first grow.
She asks that I DM you more specific information.
We appreciate any advice.
I have PMR it is an autoimmune issue one’s immune attacks muscles and tendons it is extremely painful I have found most relief from tinctures I use vape before bed and then wake and bake while tincture kicks in
I have been making my own for a few years now but if you have a good recipe I am all ears
