You can pick out almost any alcohol to use. The best results come from the high proof kind 100 proof or better. In Michigan the highest proof we can get is 151, Everclear comes in that proof or Bacardi’s Rum. The best to use is culinary alcohol which can come in at 200 proof, that’s 100% pure ethanol. Unfortunately I cannot buy any and have it shipped, it’s against Michigan law.
But maybe your state allows it.

I also use the Infuzium 420 machine, its like the Magical Butter machine. It’s quick you can have a tincture in about 4 hours. There is no flame so not a chance of combustion but it must be done in a place where no open flame is present, that includes pilots, just to be completely safe. Also it chops up whatever your using into a kinda fine powder. It’s hard to strain that out to get a clear tincture. I use the old fashioned way of soaking in a mason jar for 2-3 months or longer. Remember to get high, if that’s what you want, you must first Decarb the cannabis.
