A cannabis tincture, often known as green dragon, is an alcoholic cannabis concentrate. Cannabis tinctures are utilized in the manufacture of particular extracts such as nabiximols. The tincture is usually prepared by soaking the dried flowers (marijuana) of the female hemp plant in ethanol. The alcohol dissolves the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabinoids. Baking or drying the cannabis to decarboxylate it before to the alcohol bath increases the quantity of THC in the finished product. Some treatments also remove water-based plant components like chlorophyll, producing a dark green or brown liquid.
