Ingredients
1 ounce of decarboxylated cannabis
2 cups of high-proof alcohol (like Everclear)

Ice cubes

Steps
(1 of 11)
Decarboxylate Your Cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your cannabis evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. This process activates the THC/CBD, making it ready for infusion.

Mix Cannabis and Alcohol: Place the decarboxylated cannabis in a sealable glass jar, then pour the high-proof alcohol over it, ensuring the plant material is completely submerged.

Seal and Shake: Seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake. Store the jar in a cool, dark place.

Shake Daily: Shake the jar once daily to agitate the mixture, which helps the THC/CBD dissolve more efficiently into the alcohol.

Strain After a Few Weeks: After three to four weeks, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean jar, removing all solid material. Your tincture is now ready to use.
