So yesterday i made the green dragon drink
I used 4 grams of pretty good weed in 2 ounces of everclear(151 proof)
First i baked the weed at 250 f for 20 or so minutes grinned it up very finely and used a water bath for the alcohol solution that stayed between 160 and about 168 f for 25 minutes and the solution was dark brown and smells like pot.
When i take out just a little bit of it it is a light brown. I will post a pic in a few minutes

I have never followed a Recipe. I just soak the bud in the chosen high proof alcohol. Just remember, the longer you soak, the more potent it will be, (at least from what i've read, and also in personal experience, but like i said i don't follow the recipes, my personal brews are likely weaker than what could be accomplished by following the recipes) I'd like to add, i make this comment as a non-smoker too, neither tobacco or weed. I consume my version of green dragon occasionally as a special event. A little bit normally whipes me out.

I can't comment specifically on what you've done because you've used vodka, while i didn't. A colour change is definite expected though. I've used high proof, absinthe for all my brews, (debal). It used to be green, but the company changed it to red. When i've added weed, whether it be red or green it always makes it a dirty darker version of that colour, and when i drink it i drink it with lemonade, and once mixed, it can only be described as a 'cloudy' colour.

Just take little doses at first. My stuff at least, wasn't stuff to mess around with. I suspect if you followed a recipe yours would be more potent than mine. Take small doses at first and you'll have to go through some trial and error to work out a good dose. If you followed a recipe, you may have a reference on where to begin trialling how potent it is. My dragon has put me in psychosis for a day, (thank god, only that long) followed by a week or more of anxiety; three times now. It's so potent and the last time scared me so much that i'm very hesitant to take any drugs anymore, i didn't even go mushroom hunting this year. In saying that though, i had some orgasmic trips on that stuff as well. Want to mention i'm not a big drug user though, so what i classify as mind blowing, someone else may regard as tame. My dragon trips don't rank on the mushroom scale. On dragon, i found it imposable to keep my eyes open; but once closed, i never went to sleep, i just left and went on an amazing adventure where all my most deep, sensual, and secret desires are exposed, and lavishly satisfied. Some of these are sexual and others aren't. there is no fear, judgment or any kind of malice, just pure bliss, and acceptance of all the wrong longings i've had. All my emotions are untangled from confusing thought, and combined into a mixture of indescribable accomplishment.
Like i said though, it's gone bad for me too though. That's why i suggest taking small doses at first to work out what's a good dose. It used to take me about an hour and a half for one dose to fully kick in. Be careful not to overdose like i did.

I would let it soak for at least a month before imbibing.

You definitely don't want it soaking for a month or more as GreenArrow suggests. The longer it soaks, the more unwanted crap you pull out along with the goods. Be cautious with dosing, stuff is powerful as I'm sure you're aware.

I did not know that. So how long should one wait?

Most of the thc and other cannabinoids dissolve immediately so all it takes is shaking it a few minutes, letting it sit for a few minutes and repeating that process a couple of times. Then strain it all out with something like cheesecloth and you can recover almost all of the extracted goods.

awesome allseeingike,
That is pretty much how I do it!
Your color is alittle bit darker than mine but that isnt a bad thing!
I decarb the bud alittle lower than that, 220 for 20 minutes just to be safe.. Thats the one of the only real differences. I do a few freezes though, it supposedly helps break down the glands and trichs fall off the herb and in the alcohol infusion. So first i freeze alcohol and ground up (post decarb) herb in separate containers. THen I combine and shake for 10 minutes, put back in freezer for 8 hours. Then I let sit out for a day and give it a few hot water baths. Then I put it back in freezer and after 8 hours strain.
Not sure how much that helps but I picked it up here, http://forum.grasscity.com/incredible-edible-herb/1217451-dragon-liteanother-tincture-thread.html
I have no doubt though that you did everything sufficent to get most of the thc into your tincture, it will be good!
