Well, I've been doing some experimenting just for fun....I put roughly 2 grams of resin from my bong slide into a shot glass of 80 proof vodka, half full. I put the concoction in my drawer and let it sit for a week, stirring daily. The vodka turned into a brown liquid and the resin clumped into a big ball. I then strained the liquid through some cheesecloth. Do you think this tincture will be effective? Will it be potent or worth dumping in the drain? What do you think in terms of dosage? I have no idea of the THC content in resin. Is it high or low compared to unsmoked herb? I was thinking a few drops in some chilled juice might do the trick. Do you think the carcinogens in the resin were extracted into the alcohol along with any THC? Should I let the potion evaporate on a tray and scrap the material up to smoke, like hash? Lot of questions- your help is appreciated.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It sounds awfully disgusting, and if you check the Methods FAQ, there's two threads about pipe residue. Summary: just throw that black goo out when you scrape it. Use pure herb next time

i tried it.
results:
20 drops into 1 glass of juice= absolutely jack**** (had to get the bong out)
Maybe add more?

Thanks for the advice. It was gross. I was just experimenting- to only use pure marijuana is a good rule of thumb.

Hmm, my dad made a cannabis tincture using some everclear I bought for some mixed drinks (Everclear is 190 proof grain alcohol, they keep it behind the counter at the liquor store(probably because its extremely flammable), you just gotta ask for it).

Anyway, I took about 1/4 ounce of the tincture, which I soon realized was waaaaaay too much. I was completely blitzed, extremely paranoid, and my heart was beating faster than any stimulant I've taken (probably cant mention these on this forum), but that coulda been that I was just ALOT more sensitive due to the cannabis. So, somehow I was very much higher then I ever was when smoking and lasted like this for hours. Very much worth some smaller dosage experimenting.

Anyway, I've gotta try a smaller dosage next time, but the point is it works. BTW, he just left the everclear, he didnt let it evaporate, just a nice green liquid. Just mix it with some juice as straight everclear dries/burns your throat.

I'll have to check with him on how much mj he used to make it.

PS
This could probably revolutionize how I get my THC
You were mentioning carcinogens, I think these are only released when you burn it, as vaporizing and eating it are safe? Anyone know?
