Cannabis in alcohol

This, of course, was perfectly legal in its time.  And note the alcohol content - 74% (148 proof!).

  1. I learned at a recent brewery tour that hops is related to marijuana (they're in the same family). Someone, somewhere, has made weed beer.

    Step two add 1/8 to 1/4 of the good stuff
    Step three let sit in dark place for a week or so

  5. Yeah - this is Tincture - Usually made with anything over 148 Proof. Half a Mason jar of fine chopped cheeb, and fill the rest with the hard stuff. Let sit for 2-4 wks away from sun. Take out, strain green juice and add more hard stuff to green mulch filled mason jar for second batch. place a drop or two under tongue of green juice and say hi to Buddha for me! :)
