The point is not to leach out every single iota of THC until the liquor looks and tastes like the bottom of a bayou. The point is to have a great drink and a nice high. If your weed is moist, dry it for three minutes in an oven on 170°F (or its lowest setting) before you steep it to help release the THC.
MAKES ABOUT 3 CUPS
8 grams cannabis
750 milliliters (a fifth) of light 80-proof rum
1. Grind the ganja and fully steep in the rum for 4 days. Store in a cool, dark place. Shake it twice a day.
2. On the fourth day, boil a large pot of water and then turn off the heat. Set the sealed rum bottle inside the hot water and let it sit for 30 minutes. The water level should not cover the top of the bottle. This heat of the water will activate the psychoactive ingredients, further infusing the alcohol.
3. Strain out the cannabis and return the rum to the bottle. Use in any cocktail recipe that calls for rum.
