THE WEED SCENE RECIPE
Cannabis Vodka
A week of soaking does not establish activation, extraction efficiency or THC strength. Stem weight is not a serving dose. No finished volume or serving count is specified.
Ingredients
- ¼ ounce cannabis stems
- Vodka: enough to fully submerge the stems; no fixed volume is specified
Instructions
- Place the cannabis stems in a clean, food-safe glass jar. Pour in enough vodka to fully submerge them and close the jar.
- Leave the closed jar in a dark place for about one week. Keep it away from heat and flame.
- Strain out the stems into a clean, clearly labeled storage container. Coffee filters can hold the stems for easier removal, as an alternative to loose stems.
Use a closed, labeled jar
Use beverage-grade vodka and food-safe equipment. This is a cold steep; do not heat vodka or attempt to concentrate it by evaporation. Alcohol and its vapors are flammable.
A steep is not an activation step
The method does not include decarboxylation. Stems vary in cannabinoid content, and neither their appearance nor the liquid’s color tells you its strength. Do not infer a predictable intoxicating effect from the soaking period.
