Glycerin. It's available in food grade, from animal or vegetable sources, your choice. I've heard it works pretty well for making Cannabis tinctures.

Well sir, if you want to be lazy and not just simply buy alcohol online with a credit card then how do you go about this? Special brownies/cookies made with butter ring a bell? Butter is a mix of triglycerides that are decently nonpolar in nature. What is similar to butter and consumable? Oils! Dont take solely my word for it, do research. But, I see no reason why one could not simply mildly heat cannabis in some cooking oil of choice to absorb the thc and then use that oil for administration.

I don't even know why I asked this. I Knew glycerin would work just fine before posting but I hadn't thought about until I clicked post. Plus it would have been easy to google.

I've heard that they are supposed to card you when ordering alcohol online but I doubt the UPS man feels comfortable doing that. I also don't know how he is supposed to know there's alcohol in the box. Would anyone attest to it being safe to do so?

I second Pup's statement. I also love glycerin cannabis tinctures! I've not tried it yet, but I've heard of great results using a crock pot slow cooker to infuse coconut oil with cannabis. It really seems to love the fats in this particular oil and its easy to store and cook with. A few of my friends are lactose intolerant so this would be a great choice for them.

Glycerin works. Although I recommend using a solvent extracted hash and adding this to glycerin it cuts a lot of the time out of the extraction.

I too was thinking make bho and dissolve it in to the secondary solvent. I was also thinking of using coconut oil for edibles cause I just got really into substituting other fats with coconut oil, however its fairly expensive and my true goal is to make a tincture.
