Hi i just made my first batch. I used coconut oil and ground bud in the recepie. When it was done cooking it had the oil and bud mixed in as well as a thin layer of oil on top. Should i put the oil from on top in the capsules? Or syphon it off and only use the "paste"? Also is the cooked ground bud safe to put in the capsules? Will it have the same effects? Help!
Use everything or you will risk having lesser effects than if you crammed it all in there. Have fun!Quote:

I managed to make 12 capsules of these with 1gram of Lavender Melt Hashish, purchased from a medical marijuana dispensary and 7 grams of Coconut oil. The pills came out entirely perfect.
Last night, or should I say early this morning at about 2:00 AM i took the capsules and at about 3:30/4:00 AM I began hallucinating, having a rapid heart beat, and I was short of breath. The rapid heart beat continued for hours so my parents rushed me to the E.R. where they told me I was having a panic/anxiety attack, which can feel like having a heart attack. I was by myself and I was attempting to use this as an alternative to smoking cannabis for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) medicine. Last night I wasn't feeling well so I took 2 of these capsules and went straight to the looney bin.
Be careful with california medical concentrated cannabis... it is VERY STRONG. THC is a VERY psychedelic compound. I seriously thought I was going to die last night, so did my parents. Great step by step guide.... just
Wow dude, I am glad you made it thru okay. A number of use here on the boards warn against taking too many too soon when it comes to capsules and edibles. Not to mention that it was high grade hash which is more potent than straight up herb.Quote:

At any rate, I'm glad you are here telling your story so others may learn that the "take it slow and easy until you are experienced with concentrates" is not a bunch of BS or know-it-alls telling people what to do. We are truly normal folks that have pain or related medical issues that want to help people from overdoing it.
Take care amigo,

Hey Flameon, great stuff here.
I am a heavy smoker and was wondering if it would make to much of a diffrence to put in 1.75g highgrade just so i could put a whole dime in ? or would it be better to stick with 1.5, i live up north and have never seen hash on the market
I would say you would be fine with the little extra in there. Might even make it more potent.
New here.:)
just wanted to pop in here and say thanks to flameon, weedhound and everyone who put so much effort into this thread. basically the reason i joined. :thumbsup:
going shopping again tmr for a new digital slowcooker and coffee grinder. hopefully try cooking some tmr too...following everyones advice going to attempt to make each capsule as potent as possible if i actually get it to work hehe
thanks again
Awesome thread flameon!! :thumbsup: (and everyone else who has put in!) I cant wait to give this a try!! Ill let ya know how it goes! Hopefully it wont take me to long to come up with everything and find time to do it. :stoned:
Just a thought...would it be the same to use honey oil inside the caps instead?
ie. using alcohol as a solvent for the thc >
stoop/shake/soak the powdered material the way you prefer to in the alcohol > straining out the residue, then boil down to evaporate the alcohol >
then using the final product within the capsules?
and would this make each cap more potent?
i've read all the pages in this thread, but cant exactly recall if this has been mentioned before...sorry if it has hehe:stoned:
I made my first batch exactly to directions but they did not work. I am unsure as to what i did wrong. I'm going to make another batch and try againQuote:

made my second batch last night. the first batch didn't pan out too well, not a total loss, just not a strong.
last night used 3g maui/kush. 2 1/2 ts coconut oil. and used a ramekin to simmer the goods in a cheap crock that only goes to 250degrees. definite change in color for the caps from light green to almost olive. simmered for 1 1/2-2 hours and test fired them today. first batch i only simmered for around 30 minutes, they're really weak but they'll work in a pinch.
found that 1 cap every 4 or so hours is doing the trick.
not sure the effects of more than that, but they're the new preferred medicating method. i can tell from the strength of just one that multiple caps will blow my socks off.
Hey guys quick question.
I have the rival 5025-WG crock pot and im not sure if the temperature gets high enough to work with this recipe and i was just wondering how/where i could find out what the actually temperature that it cooks at is
Hi begginerblazer
Crock pots as a general rule seldom advertise their higher and lower temperature ranges due to the standardised nature of how they operate.
i.e. They're designed to 'slow cook' foods (stews, casseroles etc) at just below boiling point.
Therefore, the assumption is a typical temperature is about 100 degrees Centigrade or 212 Fahrenheit.
I looked up the model you list (the Rival 5025-WG), and you'll be just fine with that.
Remember though that under normal operating conditions the crock pot is usually 'filled' with liquid, vegetables, meats etc, and so when we cook with just oil in them they can get a little too hot on the 'High' setting.
I would expect a model like this one to creep as high as 150 centigrade or 300fahrenheit, so my advice would be to use the 'high setting' for about an hour to get it started before switching down to 'low' for about one and a half to two hours (assuming of course that you don't own an oven thermometer in order to monitor the temperature). Overheating the THC will reduce the potency as it causes it to vaporize.
Anyhow, good luck and come back to let us know how you get on or if you have any other questions.
Cheers flameon :thumbsup:
Wow... It looks like the different brands vary. I tested a small oval shaped one I had {to use as a polymer clay "oven" }; and it showed 300F on an oven thermometer. I would say each different slow cooker should be checked to see what is the hottest it gets just to be safe.:thumbsup:Quote:

Hi Pamstoner and thanks for the input and kind words
That's good advice and well worth checking out. Oven thermometers can be bought for only a few dollars/pounds and are a sound investment for anyone thinking of taking up canna-cooking (You'll see a return the first time you use one in as it'll save you under/over cooking your weed).Quote:

The following, short (abridged) answer however, is good for most (particularly small) crock pots that are running with just an oil and weed mix in them:

i used 1.0 gram of bud grinded with a chromium crusher
1.5 tsp of coconut oil (1.0 didnt look like enough to cover all the bud)
i put it in my crockpot, put it on high for an hour, mixed it, than switched it to low for an hour and a half, mixed it twice while on low i think
never really tried anything like this before so sorry if its an obvious mistake
Damn its been a while since i last visited these forums, lol. Well the first time i've attempted this experiment was this past spring break. My dood and I used purple haze lol!! Too bad we didn't have a coffee grinder or it wouldve been crazy!! cause this motherfucker was throwing up when I called him on my way home hahaha.(his twin picked up and was like DOOOOOD WHATD U DOOO!!)
Well this time im gonna have a coffee grinder and use sour diesel. I'm just wondering, should i put the weed in the oven to activate more thc? (if so, what temperature? and how long?) or is it strong enough already? lawlllll
u r the cookery don, tried and tested, spot on.
lawl, somehow i made 32 pills, some were greenish/yellow and some were in a very dark color. i took 1 and it didnt do anything. i took 2 and i felt a very slight buzz. im gonna take 3 tomorrow and hopefully ill be sky high lawlssss!!
Hi, I'm sorry if I'm re-peating a question that has already been asked but I don't have time to read every post. I was just wondering if the capsules were absolutely nessecary? A friend told me it wasn't aslong as you let the stuff dry before you eat it...but he says alot of things...
...Just want to make sure.
Thanks!
trying this again...didnt work the first time... n now, my skepticsm on getting high from eating weed rises again.. I really just think i cant get high off edibles..i never have been able to, but im not sure if its because i smoke too much and my thc receptors are too "clogged" to notice that im high, or if ive just had bad luck in making edibles..(granted, i know the first few times, i fucked up hardddd, but the first time i tried this, i thought i got it..)
This time, im using 1.5 of jack herer..i finally got my hands on my dream strain lol..i have about 40 mins left, and depending on how i feel, i might either pop two now(its 10:52) and have a late night, or just wait until the mornign and pop them before i head to class
neways..ill report back
lets hope its a happy story this time. I've wasted wayy too much bud trying edibles with zero success.
the capsules have nothing to do with the effects of the product being made. They are just an edible container, if you will...(damn..jack herer is AMAZING ahaha) The batch i just made, i jsut spread it on a plate and let it solidify in the fridge for a few minutes..Then i took a sharp knife and portioned it. Pretty sure flameon explained it all pretty thoroughly..lol. neways, lemmie know if it works for youQuote:

Hey, I'm new here. I don't have anywhere to make oil as I live with my parents. -_-
I also can't order 00 capsules, but I have cold FX capsules which I was thinking of just taking the medicine out (I've done this before) and putting some crystal (or really nicely busted up bud) inside the capsules afterwords. Is this safe to do?
Thanks.
Made 1 batch with
1g 'tumbled hash'
exactly the way the directions say
effects were minimal
made 1 batch with 7g unsalted butter in place of coconut oil
effects ranged from nothing to extreme
(might have had problems with the type of hash, it kept sinking to the bottom and clogging the syringe)
Won't be repeating this with tumbled hash
Made one batch with 1 stick of butter (110g)
with 4g of top quality buds along with 5g vaped buds
ended up with 75 capsules that don't do a thing
-ingested 3, should have been about 0.053g THC per capsule not including the vaped bud
Made another Batch with 4 grams of keif and 26g coconut oil
-waiting to be tested
28 capsules were created
rated at 0.143g thc per capsule (hopefully these work)
Do you think I can just toss the remaining 72 capsules into a pan and just melt it all down? or should I attempt to take all the butter out before melting it down? I was thinking of recycling it to bake some cupcakes
I think just putting keif into capsules and swallowing them work, but infusing them with an oil helps you digest it better (granted you do it the right way)Quote:

Could I just use a grinder to screen out all the crystal then put it in the capsule? Really hard to find keif where I go to school >.<
Btw why wouldn't it work if I busted it up really fine?
Anyone? BUMP
the 0.143g thc capsules were perfect for meQuote:

This is what works for me.
I take 4 cups of canola oil, double boil with 4oz of vapor duff. After three hours, I strain.
Next, I use 4 cups of dried bud, sugar leaf, and re-double boil it.
After that, I take 1c of the Canna-oil and add 14 grams of Bubble hash, and re-double boil.
Finally, I add 2T of Cayenne pepper for capsasin.
It looks like this in the end.
I call it "The Goo"
Sorry, forgot to mention that we use an eye dropper to fill 00 size gelatin caps. They work very well for insomnia, fibro pain, crohns, IBS, ect.
Okay
i think im going to go ahead and do this, but i have a question
im thinking most of the failures have to do with fluctuating temps from crock pot to crock pot
so to try to assure the lowest waste of bud
what crokpots do people who have succeeded, speciffically flameon and weedhound
i read the whole thread and saw it was answered
but go figure now i cant find it
Hi guys and sorry for the delay in answering some of the questions you've asked recently (I've been out of action for a while, long story).
Someguy77, I may have misunderstood (ignore me if I have), but I think you're asking if the capsules will still work if you just put 'raw' kief in them without cooking in oil. If so, Revanche21 is spot on, it won't work (or at least not without consuming vast quantities - don't waste it).
BBoyShotty, great job! glad you stuck with it and gave it another go.
Also, KushBrothers, interesting technique and use of 'blood flow' additive (Cayenne pepper), I've also used v small quantities of Turmeric to good effect and have read of quite a few others that people have used (I'm still experimenting with those).
Hi Xitek420, I've got a couple of different slow cookers that I use (I'll see if I can find the name of the make), though they're pretty much 'bog standard', nothing special or unusual. To be certain of the temps the best investment is an oven thermometer (available on ebay and most cookery shops), shouldn't cost more than £5/$8 and will stop you under/over cooking the THC.
One additional point, I've run various 'side-by-side' tests over the last year or so and think it's worth mentioning that when making larger quantities of oil and bud (i.e. 50ml or more of oil) you'll get better results if you extend the cooking time by about an hour and add an extra stir or two.
Hope that helps. Good luck and happy baking. :thumbsup:
my local collective sells capsules with keif inside capsules and another patient has informed me that they do indeed workQuote:

Hi Revanche21, interesting info, and a new one for me. I've never come across anyone having much success just eating 'raw' THC, let alone a collective promoting it. Is it just untreated 'raw' keif in their capsules, or do you know if its been altered in some way first (or other ingredients added)?Quote:

But in practice, I've only read of a few recorded cases where its happened, and usually only where very large amounts were consumed.
I wouldn't have thought it would have been practical (or economically viable) to consume (or market) it that way, but I'm always open to new ideas.
As you've already said, extracting it into oil would seem a much more efficient process.
