Ok these things are creeepers. After about 2 hours or so my 4 capsules kicked in that I took 2 hours prior. It was very intense and I felt like my head was a disco ball and was spinning in my mind insanely. I felt very nasious after a wwhiel and almost puked but am starting to drift off now. !!!
Hi guys, how's it going?
As Gorlax say's, you won't need to worry too much about the smell. Assuming you don't 'overheat' the weed, and keep the crock pot lid on, there should be very little to give you away.Quote:

One small word of caution though. 0.6 grams of bud into 3 will give you 0.2 per capsule, which is a fair sized dose. I don't know how potent your weed is, but I would probably suggest taking one the first time to see how you get on.
I know it might not sound like much (especially when compared to smoking), but taking 0.4 of weed in this method can tip you over the edge. (see Gorlax's next post lol). At the very least you'll be 'nailed' to the couch visiting 'Shamanic Hippy' land for a good few hours! lol
Holy cow! . . 4!! . . you took 4?? lolQuote:

For me, I know I've taken too much when music becomes so 'vibrant' that I have to shut my eyes to listen. You don't just hear it, you 'feel it' vibrate through your body in multi-coloured waves lol.
Nice job, but perhaps only 3 next time? :jointsmile:

Hi Flame,
Just passing through. Wanted to let you know that you were absolutely right about my issues with getting stuff in the capsules....i didn't let things cool enough to work with correctly but have gotten it down now and it isn't hard at all!
I've also found that putting them in capsules does make things much more consistent when I take them....making dosages much easier to work with. :thumbsup:
Hey Weedhound, good to hear from you!
I've just 'popped' a couple myself in readiness for a euphoric Saturday night, and I'm about 45 minutes away from hilarity, horniness and hunger. In that order! lol
Glad you cracked the filling process. You can't beat opening the fridge door to see them all lined up in little rows. Bless 'em. I'm like a proud father (who eats his young).
Anyhow, have a good one and I'll catch up with you when I'm making more sense. lol
Cheers
Flame :stoned:
I just have to say that this is my favourite thread in all of cann.com, and I can't wait to make these!...but unfortunately I won't be able to until some time in the new year lol.:p
O yeh ontop of my 4 caps I took prior to it actually kicking in I smoked about 15-20 bowls from bubbler. Then once my pills kicked in I was tripping really bad and almost passed out because I felt soo messed up. But I held my shit together and it soon slowly became more better. What Kicked my pills in was a nice meal at mcdonalds. I believe you need to eat something like that for the pills to take full effect because I really didnt feel much of the pilll until I ate and it was insane after that.!!! I mean fucking insane! Damnnnn Glad im feeling much better this morning thats a story to tell hhaha
I got 1.4g of nug all ground up, got the croc pot out and ready, off to the store to get some coconut oil/ clarified butter. be back soon
gonna make some and watch football this afternoon woo hoo!
so, i got my butter in the croc pot, its in a glass straightedge measuring cup in 2in or so of water. my CP is old skool and heats from the sides, idk what new ones do. anyways, i put about 1.3 tbs in the microwave for a min to melt, and it boiled a little bit after that i let it cool to below boiling and added my herb, stirred it up and now its sitting. i'm gona give it about 2-2.5-3hours on low and see what happens next. gona get ripped tonight!!
:yippee: :yippee: :woohoo: :woohoo:
So I made this recipe up last night, and I have some questions because things didnt go quite as I expected.
Here is what I had for materials
1 Large Crockpot
1 Small metal shotglass
3.5g Weed (mid)
14g Ghee(homemade)
Now, I think I know what some of the problems were, but I want to bounce it against you guys and see what you think.
I followed the instructions on cooking time, and how to make ghee, had no probelms with either part of that. The first thing I can think of that might have been a problem was that the weed wasnt powdered. It was ground up pretty good, but no where near a powder state.
Secondly, I didnt microwave/oven the weed to "activate" it before putting it in the mixture. Being mid quality weed, I have a feeling that was a large part of the problem.
One thing I thought was odd, is that the weed never really boiled down inside the container throughout the process. When I emptied the container out, there was the same amount of oil, but tbh there was way more weed then oil in the glass. I am wondering if turning the weed into powder would make a difference with that.
I cooked the mixture on Low on the crockpot for a little over 2 hours, and the color of the oil changed, and the smell of cooking weed was evident, but only if you sniffed inside the crockpot, it didnt fill the room or anything.
I couldnt get empty pill casings at the time, so we just were going to eat teh stuff raw after it solidified. I cut it up into 12 peices, so each peice was 2 doses.
This morning, after having a peice of bread and a peice of sausage, I took 3 peices of the mixture, or what should have been around 6 doses total. I didnt feel all that much, at all, some slight time distortion, but I have that even when I am not high.
I took one peice(2 doses) last night after smoking some, and I had a really strong feeling of euphoria, like everything was awesome and right in the world, and I felt no pain at all. Everyone else who was with me who took the same amount said the same thing, but I cant say for sure if it wasnt placebo effect or not.
Anything that stands out as being the main problem? Im thinking I need to activate the weed next time, and try to get it ground up finer, but does anything else seem like it might be the problem?
So, after getting pissed at not being able to make GD, I decided to give this a go. I don't have a crockpot, but living alone is nice so I got to take some pics.
I used about 5g of schwag...total shit...only after "activating" it do I get a slight buzz from one j smoked by myself, a small shot glass full of homemade (by me) clarified butter , a small pan (in lieu of a glass mixing bowl) and a big ass pot.
Here are 3 pics, pretty self explanatory. My camera's pretty shit though since it's a mobile phone, so res kinda sux. 1st pic is just after I put the butter and ganja in the small pan inside the pot, then the final result unstrained, then what I strained onto a plate (can't be bothered with capsules right now.)
According to my scale, the end result was 3g (I weighed the plate empty, then added the canna-butter), I took 2/3rds of that on a piece of bread aprox 50 minutes ago.
