Gaz de course

You can add some grass (marijuana) to the secondary fermentation to really understand why it's called "Gaz de course". The grass should be cleaned from its chlorophile so you don't get a green plant taste. You should let it rest daily for an hour in very cold water, doing that during 3-5 days. This should clear most of the green taste without affecting the THC content. I recommend flowers and high grade leaves to get the best out of this amazing knockout.
