That's a bummer. I got to where I was using several grams a day (eating it....my lungs are too shot for smoking) so going to the capsules cut me back big time. I can get to where I want all day for a third of the ganja I was using before. It's made a big difference for me.
Well when you do have a surplus....try going with a few more capsules I think you really WILL like the results. ;)
Well niltrog I am not an everyday smoker (more like 2-3 times a week) but one of my friends who took the capsules is and he was stoned as hell.Quote:

One more thing: I donâ??t really have the time to sit and watch these things cook so I left the mixture cooking in my crock-pot all night (almost 10 hours) maybe this helped.
Cool guide, I like it. One question though - how long does the entire process take to make a handful of pills?
Here we go fellas, I am gonna make it simple for all of you out there that wanna try this out. Flameon is a total stud for going thru the effort and stress of keeping the thread alive and going strong.
Give Flameon major rep for all that he has done here for the CannCom community...
Here is what a typical MMJ patient or stoner needs:
1/8 of good weed
1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil (which = 14 grams of oil)
3 hours of time
1 Cannabis Grinder (some know it as a coffee bean grinder)
1 bag of 00 size gelatin capsules
1 crock pot
1 coffee cup
----------------------
expected results = 24 Canna Caps
BTW, I made mine with homegrow Blueberry..... yum!!
Overview:
20-30 minutes prep time
2 hours cook time
20-30 minutes finishing time
Step By Step:
Step 1: put the oil in the coffee cup, then set the coffee cup in the crockpot, put the lid on the crockpot and set it on High
Step 2: turn on the crockpot and get it warming up as you grind up the herb
Step 3: using the cannbis/coffee grinder, grind up the herb to a fine powder, then carefully scrape it into the warm Coco Oil in the coffee cup and stir the mixture, pushing all of the herb into the oil
Step 4: let the oil and herb cook together for an hour, then return to your oil and stir it for a minute.... then let it continue to cook
Step 5: return after another hour (1+1 = 2 hours total cook time), stir it up and remove the oil from the crockpot... use a pair of oven mitts so you don't burn your hands
Step 6: let it cool for a while but be sure to keep your eyes on the oil as Coco oil will solidify at room temp and you need it to be slightly less than solid to pour it into the caps
Step 7: pour the cooled oil into the gel caps, making sure that they are equal in measurement so they will be equal in dosage... if there is any 'gunk' in the bottom of the cup scrape it equally into the caps
Step 8: put them in the fridge or freezer for a while to set up.. I am not quite there yet so I can't tell you how long
NOTE: You can get really Fucked Up on edibles if you do not know what you are doing... read this thread from the beginning and pay attention. I would take 1 cap and wait 2 hours before taking another just to be sure...

Nice MVP! Mine seems to end up more of a yellowish color....I'm wondering if that's just the type of weed I'm using.....Master Kush.
great thread guys!
i have one question though. i made some of these today and had some of the bud residue on the bottom. i scraped it into two capsules that lack oil.
will these two capsules still be effective or has all of the thc transferred to the coconut oil?
Thanks! :smokin:
I'd like to post your recipe on my site Flameon, you would retain the credit and the copyright.
Please post if it's not okay. I can also link to here if you want me to.
Hi Guys (and a slightly late 'Happy New Year!')
Great work on the timescale guide MVP (love the pictures too), bang on!
I've not had chance to try blueberry in a mix, how did they go?
Regarding the time question, I keep all my kit together in the same box (the coconut oil in the fridge), so it only takes me about five minutes to set up.
Then, once the oil is cooking you can just leave it to do its thing. So, although it'll take you about three hours from start to finish, most of that time you can just take it easy, go watch a film or something.
Filling the caps takes a little time (and practice), and is a bit easier if you have a holder, but even so we're only talking around ten minutes.

OZO - You're a star, I may need to get some 'powerplant' myself this year. Glad they went well for you (hope nobody put a Wii remote through your TV whilst under the influence - it's easily done lol)
Snorbel - Many thanks for the interest, please feel free to help yourself to whatever bits you think might be useful. I'll keep an eye out for it.
Catch you later :thumbsup:
Tried these a few weeks ago in my crock pot on low with bad results. Well..no results.
Tried again yesterday with some good but a little old weed on high and used a remote probe thermometer to constantly monitor the temp and make sure it didn't go above 285. this worked perfectly and i took them this morning and have been stoned all day.
Now i'm confident to try it with some good fresh strong bud and really see the potential.
thanks guys. :thumbsup: :smokin:
flame, i gotta hand it to you, awesome post... ive read the whole thread 3 or 4 times now, and ive tried the recipe twice... and i cant seem to get it. ive taken up to 3 pills in a sitting of my first two runs with nothing more than a little buzz.
im using 1.5 grams of 420/oz weed that i ground twice... in 7 grams (1 and a half teaspoons) of coconut oil (12g sat fat per tbsp). making 12 capsules. first time i let simmer for 2 hours on low, 2nd time for 2 and a half hrs, just to make sure (thinking that maybe i didnt let it simmer for long enough)
however, then i wondered what the temps were in my crockpot. i have Amazon.com: Hamilton Beach 33141 4-Quart Oval Slow Cooker: Home & Garden this hamilton beach cooker, and ive read on the internet that it runs a bit hot. the user guide says it will cook food at 200F no matter whether you put it on high or low, it just takes longer depending on the setting. after an hour on low, the inside of the crockpot was about 110C... not too hot by your instructions but still well above the recommended 80/90.
The room doesnt smell strongly of weed when i do my simmering, but it does smell as if i fired up the vape once or twice... and when i take the weed out a strong woosh of weed smell comes out of the crockpot once the lid's off. unfortunately, the "keep warm" setting doesnt seem to get above 50C on its own... so the question is, am i better off grabbing a new crockpot (like Amazon.com: Rival 5025WG 2-1/2-Quart Crockpot: Home & Garden) or is there some other avenue i should be trying?
thanks for all the help
