Scientific have you run extracts into oil and if so, does the tincture compare favourably, or does it differ in any way?
I'm considering a Magical Butter Machine, have been for a while. I've had infused EVOO and infused coconut oil. Coconut oil isn't for me but perhaps could be used for a topical in the future. I didn't mind the EVOO though. Just wondering if I should also consider a tincture. I generally don't drink alcohol.
(With apologies to Canada Guy for running his grow log into the weeds ) I have extracted da herb into just about everything now. I personally do not feel a difference between different edibles, but I should say along with that I don't feel much of a difference between the various species and strains, either, and think some or all of those differences are overstated. Just my .02. I do think the edible high is different than the smoke/vape high, though I'm at a loss to say why.
I don't think a Budder Machine is really necessary. If you have an electric stove with a good low heat setting and are willing to give the mix a stir every so often, that will do the job (and save you some money and shelf space).
I have tried coconut oil topically and all it did was remind me of the smell of girls wearing coconut-scented suntan oil at the beach (not a bad thing at all).
A friend who is a teetotaler still uses tincture. You can make tincture that's strong enough so you only need a half a milliliter or so of it to get a buzz. Sometimes I put a dropperful of tincture in a cocktail, even though experience has proven the wisdom of the Freak Brothers' maxim "Smoking grass and drinking beer is like pissing into the wind."
