This recipe recommends combining cannabis and alcohol for no longer than 15 minutes; however, as with all things cannabis, there is more than one way to achieve the desired result. Many people do a simple 3-minute wash and are happy with their results, while others do a 60-minute wash and are happy with their results. The goal is to remove as many trichomes from the plant as possible without removing additional plant compounds like chlorophyll, waxes, and lipids. If you combine the cannabis flowers and alcohol for longer than 15 minutes, you may not necessarily extract more THC or CBD, but you risk pulling more unwanted plant matter. For this reason, going for longer than 15 minutes moves you into the territory of a more traditional cannabis tincture. However, if you want to experiment to find a perfect wash time, please do!
