Green Dragon is an alcoholic beverage made by leaching cannabis (usually leaves and stems) in high percentage alcohol. Consuming this beverage produces effects similar to those felt when smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol (the cannabis-like effects tend to be more intense and of longer duration compared to smoking).

[edit] Preparation

Take .5 oz ground cannabis and dissolve in 750 mL 95% ABV tincture. Saturate 4 weeks and double boil over water for 30 minutes. Filter solid matter and cool. Good when mixed with sprite. Allow 30 minutes between shots.
