Hey, that sounds like good news.
If you want to try a 'sample' test run first, just use 0.5 of a gram (after the stems have been removed) and a level teaspoon of oil.
It'll make enough for about 4 or 5 caps.
Should be a good indicator if you've cracked the method without risking too much 'green'.
Cool. That's about what we've been doing, but it's nice to see some "official" numbers. We've been estimating about a half batch, but to just shoot for .5 and a level teaspoon will be even easier. We go through capsules a little quick because it's two people trying them, but if we get them to work right, we'll be happy. We didn't start them tonight, so we likely will tomorrow morning.
Nice, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
One small tip. I find that if I take one capsule and then take another a couple of hours later, I don't get as high as I do when I've taken two at the same time.
So, rather than just taking one and waiting to see what happens, I'm tempted to suggest going with two to start with. Hopefully, they'll do the trick.
Yeah, we've been doing the two at a time recently. We figure if that's going to be about the normal "dosage" for us, we can do most of our testing with that. When they work, if one is still a nice buzz, that's cool, and if three makes it that much crazier, all the better.
Speaking of, how different would you say it is between two and three of yours? We've been expecting a notable difference, and according to your descriptions, it sounds like they are definitely different. Even to the point of a few hours and how "out of it" it sounds like you can get from three.
My girlfriend just thought to ask: Would it make much difference to the batch if we check on the temp and stir it up during? We have been, so hopefully that hasn't been the problem, but we're just wondering. If it's better to just leave it, then this next time, we'll make sure the temp is good and then just leave it alone this time. We're just paranoid that the temp is all of a sudden going to scorch the batch.
I stir mine briefly about once an hour. Taking the lid off a crock pot (or opening the oven door in your case), causes quite a big temperature drop which will take a fair while to build back up, so just do it a couple of times only.
As for dosage, I take three at a time from my current batch (not great weed), to achieve the same high as I normally get from two.
However, I do like to be well and truly blazed.
I'll be brewing up a batch this afternoon using a gram of some very potent dutch hash, where just one will almost do the same job.
I love Christmas, it's a great excuse to use the 'good stuff'!
Well I decided to take these bad dogs last night for Christmas Eve as I had nowhere to be and I was around good people (stoners). I had made a small batch a while ago but it was not enough for all of my guests so I made another batch with about 2 grams. So total I had about 2.6 grams for about 6 people. We all took them at about 8:30pm along with a ton of food and we were all loaded by 10:00pm. I was wasted all night and I still have a nice little buzz this morning! Everyone loved these little capsules we got so loaded it took us about an hour to get the Wii hooked up. We were all so ripped all we could do was try to play Wii and laugh, it was the most fun I have had in a long time.
Thanks Flameon! :thumbsup:
This blows my mind. I told my girlfriend about it and we're planning on making a batch first chance we get. Bonus is, she works in a pharmacy, and it has all the stuff we need :D
A few quick questions, if you'd be so kind.
Is there a decent alternative to a capsule tray? We may have trouble finding one.
The one think I'm a little unclear on... we'll be using a slow cooker (crock pot). Is there supposed to be water in the slow cooker, or is that just for the stovetop method?
Thanks, and thanks for posting this awesomeness!
I'm jealous, OZO. Even that last batch of ours that we were so excited about didn't end up working. We really don't know what the problem is, but because we have lost so much pot to this already, we're going to have to take a break from trying. We may try again sometime since we still have all of this coconut oil and capsules and such, but it might not be for a while.
We have tried to replicate everything that the directions say, and even after 2 revisions, it still didn't click, so we don't know what to do. If there are any suggestions or anything, we could keep them in mind for next time, whenever that might be. Sad :(
niltrog.....i need a good four to get me going......five would be more what I need at the end of a day once I start developing that daily sort of tolerance....i actually switch back and forth between the capsules I "saute" and the ones I cook in the crockpot.....but they are made with much larger amounts of weed than the crockpot ones. But let me say I generally do a pretty good amount of weed daily.
How much ganja do you guys generally do a day?
Wow, 4 or 5.. Maybe that's about normal when you are using bud? I know flame uses mostly hash, which would make it different, but we had never figured it would take us just eating so many more. At that point, there doesn't seem to be much bud being saved in doing this process. If we have to make a whole batch to get only 1.5 "hits" for the two of us, that's just going to burn it up too fast.
We do smoke a lot, so our tolerance is pretty high. Probably 6-7 bowls between us on a "busy" day, from spoons to gravity bongs. We can still get blitzed off the right stuff, and we thought we had that stuff this time. Maybe we just needed to make and eat more. Or get ourselves some hash or something. I'm not sure. I just know we're pretty much done for at least right now. :(
