coconut oil, lecithen, alcohol

man I made this yesterday.. decarbed the bud first in the oven (half an O) and heated up half a cup of coco oil on the stove on low until it melted. then put the bud in and let it heat up for 15 mins. I put it to high low because I thought the temp would be too low (it was like at 170-200) so it went up high to like 225-235, then I thought that'd be too high so I put it back down to like 200-220. I used a candy thermometer. at the end put about half a teaspoon of vodka and it simmered.. took it off the stove when simmering was done. then cooled.

I didn't use soy lecithin.

anyway.. I hadn't ingested weed in about 3 months or so.. I took one teaspoon of this.. and I thought it didn't do anything but thenI got dizzy about 45 mins later, and then felt a little high... 1-2 hrs later I still felt it.. but dayum yeah it wasn't an intense high but I felt soemthing. I only ingested about 1/3 of a gram's equivalent of the reggie weed I made this with but it felt like I smoked half a j of it and lasted a long time. went to a restaurant and noticed it mroe there but that was like 3 hrs after I took this. the 'high' i guess it was.. lasted me like 4-5 fcking hrs, but wasn't too strong.. I didn't want it to be too strong which is why I only took a teaspoon (I got work today).

so anyway.. that was yesterday.

I think the sh*t worked.. I'll try variations of this tho to get it more potent.

thanks!

actually 220 is decarboxylation temperature anything 230 or above would burn the plant.

I wonder about this because the plant is burned when smoked and obviously the smoke has useable THC in it. I have extracted into coconut oil alone at temps high enough to brown the greens....it fizzes a bit, but after straining out the (browns) I end up with a powerful MMJ coconut oil. I usually add about 50% more Olive Oil to help prevent solidifying which makes dosing with a
dropper or measuring spoon easier. I use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon (2-4 eyedroppers) for a dose....starting with 1/2 cup coconut oil and 4-5 grams material. Has a great flavor.

Well, because of the cholesterol in the coconut oil, I do this with olive oil, but was not aware that the ETOH would cause the chemical reaction. Olive oil has very low saturated fats in it, imperative for someone with hypercholesterolemia like myself. BUT if the ETOH causes a reaction, I must try this on my next batch!

how could you make a topical oil for pain relief? does anyone know? A guy gave me a small amount to try made from leaf, and it worked GREAT! But i'm out and now i'm trying to figure out how to make this stuff. Can't afford the $25 thedude wants for a small lip gloss sized roller bottle of it.

Use the search feature, a while back someone posted a thread about making canna Tiger Balm. Don't remeber how just remember seeing the post.
Good luck and let us know how you did.
