My dispensary has cooking hash. Anybody know good ways of using it

I have been using sativa alcohol tincture which works pretty good but it’s expensive. I gave up smoking for the sake of my lungs, so trying alternatives. Any suggestions are appreciated

If you can find food grade 190 proof (95% etoh) grain alcohol, just drop some sativa in and shake every day for two or three weeks. Strain and enjoy... I use Everclear.

2. Do you just use buds or do you have to decarb?I've been wanting to try that but not sure how

Do you need to freeze it or anything? So you put the Everclear say in a mason jar and drop in some buds, do you know what how many do you need?Now I’m getting interested in trying it. My dispensary has some really nice strains. I would love to smoke but I had thoracic surgery last year and I’m trying not to.

Cover about an inch over weed with Everclear - in freezer for 5 days stirring once a day - then strain thru cheesecloth and keep in your kitchen cabinet.

Good for making gummies. I use 4 teaspoons of extract to 1 1/2 cups of fruit juice, unflavored gelatin and honey.
