Man, not only could I understand what the fish were saying ..but they could understand me. Though I did get a little paranoid when one of the lil' beggars started following me trying to find out what I was on.

Anyhow, have fun and enjoy.

Flameon .... glad your trip had "good :bigsmoke: trips" ......My trip was nice but the caps didn't come out well....
Here's the run down...

I tried a few b4 I left and they gave me an ok buzz ....But when I arrived in San Diego ..not 1 pill worked :( not sure what happened N the transport except being n a pocket inside my pants for a 4+ hr flight. I froze them before I left an a few did leak when I arrived but not a lot leaked. Now here the funny part .... Not 1 pill gave me a buzz (even took 2 at a time and nothing) My wife and I went to a shop and picked up some MJ cookies from a medical supplier (I figured i can gauge the high on a pro supply)..... we both ate a cookie each and nothing!!! ...... The next day we jus smoked trainwreck from the shop and it had me baked.

I wont give up on the CAPs becuz I got buzzed a few times with different testing ..... I was jus surprised that cookies from a medical shop didn't do crap for us and my friend said they will get U stoned!!

WOW! cant wait to try this. sounds like a blast! nice 1.:thumbsup:

Thankz 4 the input Jebus... I do notice it more in cardio .. like the caps buzz basically better..(jus the smoke on the enhale getz me exhausted doing cardio) .. but I kno what your sayin ..

Do you have a vape alias? That might help with the breathing during cardio. Smoking does affect me during cardio but I've noticed that if I ignore it and breathe through my nose I don't really get winded by it, but you may need to build up to it. I'd say try a vaporizer. Should make breathing a lot easier.

Hey Flame, since it's been just over 2 years from the day you started this thread I thought I'd see if you have tweeked your process any. Have any new tips you'd like to throw out to us? Or maybe a whole new guide with new variations?

do they have to be kept frozen.. with parents at home it would be hard hard to keep in freezer all the time

They don't need to be kept frozen. I personally think the fridge works better. You can keep them at room temp also but they will degrade faster. If you don't plan on keeping them for longer than a week or two they will be fine. Store them in a dark place though.

It didn't worked with weed for me... so I did some with .5 of kief and .5 of hash that get higher than kief. I ate 6 capsules... god damn i never tought pot could do this.. hahaha nice one :jointsmile: :thumbsup:
It was crazy

Greetings Flameon,
I know it's be said.. But I must add my 2 cents in.... Absolutely, postively, The greatest post I seen on the making of capsules from a to z everything is included... My biggest THANKS I will give this a try real soon (:

The only downside I've noticed from the caps is the tolerance. The first one I take will get me ripped, but within a day or 2 I'm taking 4 or 5 and just getting buzzed. It might be edibles in general but my tolerance shoots through the roof when I'm taking capsules. I've heard others mention this too. Mostly about green dragon however. Is it common to build up a tolerance quickly to edibles?

hi everyone! i've enjoyed reading this, though i admit, after page 20 i just skipped to the last.

please don't look down on me for my ignorance, i'm just a little redneck mountain girl that loves her green. :) kinda ashamed to admit it here, but i smoke out of a one hitter that used to be a keychain, and the ends where you screw them off are so stripped from years of use that it's a pain to keep all three parts connected. about 5 hits from it does me good. at times i can roll a decent joint..lol. i'm poor, but luckily i have a friend to gives me some from time to time. definitely not the best, but not the worst. shwag to mids (i assume). i've never used it in any other way other than smoking, though i have heard of brownies, and i'm so intrigued to try something else other than smoking, especially when i go visit family, it's hard to make excuses to go to the store every few hours!

i'm not looking to get knocked on my ass, i still need to funtion for daily family stuff. i want the effect of smoking, without actually smoking. smoking works great, but lately i've had this nagging feeling that my lungs don't like it anymore. i love the idea of the capsules and think its a great way to prolong my supply. (or is this the wrong method for me? should i look into something else) i just have a few questions...i'm sorry if i missed them while i was reading...

i have no scales, and no clue how much i get when i get it. can anyone break down the recipe into measurements other than grams or ounces? (as in, when i grind it up, how much would i need (tsp, tbsp?) i'm thinking it will take a few times of experimenting to get just right, and i don't want to end up wasting too much of what little i get. like i said, i'm looking for a nice buzz, and with using stuff that isn't the greatest ever (i never knew that it green had so many different names! i told ya, i'm a redneck girl, we get what we can when we can!) i think i can get the rest of the procedure down, just need to get a thermomoter. but i don't want to try anything until i make sure i know just how much to use.

i'm sorry if i sound so lame and ignorant. and please don't think of me and as idiot jumping into something i know nothing about. i don't want to try anything until i'm confident and sure of what i am doing. i have no intention of trying this method until i completely and fully understand it. which is why i haven't just thrown it in and see what happened..lol.

oh, and for what it's worth, the stuff i get, is ready to be smoked. is this what what you are using, or do you use freshly picked herb? tried growing my own but freaked out when i came home and saw cops parked in my yard (turns out they were just there for the neighbors, and my plant only got like six inches high..lol. but it still freaked me out!).

sorry for the long post and numerous questions, but i'm seriously interested in this method and would like to try it, but i don't want to go into it completely stupid with no clue what i'm doing and just hope for the best. i want good results, even if it takes a while, i want to start out making the smallest amount so i can experiment until i find the perfect combination to make in bigger batches. :)

If you read this far, you get a cookie! (sorry, not the good kind as I don't know how to do them yet, but youll get one when I learn!).

Thanks a bunch! Hope yall enjoy green as much as I do! :)

Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks to all who have contributed so far (especially my friend and co-conspirator 'weedhound' - I miss you girl x - God bless you).

Jebus you are my ambassador of kwan!
In terms of 'tweaking' the process, I've tried some new variations on the methods listed, but nothing that I think is a significant improvement on what is already known.

If anyone wants to get immersed in the process, there's no substitute for a reliable 'slow cooker', an accurate set of scales and some Pyrex measuring jugs.
These days, I tend to make batches of 100 at a time, and therefore, a plastic syringe and a 'cap-me-quick' holder are essential (otherwise it takes quite while by hand).
If you can source good strength oils (or 'budder'), that also makes the process easier in terms of replicating a standard level of potency per capsule made, same applies to a good hash.

Using the 'green stuff' (dried cannabis, NOT fresh), can produce awesome results (sometimes far more 'stoney' than you'd get from processed cannabis products, i.e. oil/hash/etc), but is often more 'trial and error' than other methods.

Tolerance is always an issue no matter what the delivery method, my own personal usage is to leave about 48 hours before 'going again'.

P.S. For those of you who enjoy the cinema, these things and 3D films were made for one another (just get a designated driver - and keep me happy).
Alice in wonderland anyone . . ?

Stay safe and enjoy

In the truest definition you are not in possession of marijuana, however it would be possible to be charged with a paraphanalia charge. If you had a couple you could argue they were for you and you alone(but if you only had a couple why didn't you swallow them when you saw the flashing lights?) if you had several/several hundred you would be dealing with distribution/trafficking charges. I could be wrong but That would be my interpretation of the law as it is written in my locale. Also I have to give Flameon CRAZY, INSANE, MAD props for his post, I have a capmquick device and some empty capsules(don't ask) and now I am gonna take a shot at this!

Hi FM!

As you suggest, I have been able to travel where ever I wanted with concentrates, absolutely never illegially of course, and attracted zero notice regardless of where I went.

As we all know, the MMJ card proscribes medicating openly in public, but allows us to medicate discretely.

Hi All,

This is my first time posting here on cannabis.com. I tried this pills last week with 3 Grams of good bud (finely grinned) and 3 TBS of Ghee but i didn't get any effect, until I took 6 of them. I think I may have put the heat on too high on my crock pot, or maybe 2 hours is too long for the lowest setting on my crock pot.

Any ideas?

am i gonna strian the bud out of the finished oil?

I strain it to make it easier to handle, but everything goes into the capsules.

You should have done 3 teaspoons not tablespoons. Your oil to herb ratio was too high. Also 2 hours may not be enough. I let mine go for 12 hours usually. Plus it takes a long time to get the crockpot up to temp. You want it to be simmering for at least a few hours. I doubt you had the temp too high. Most crockpots high setting is around 250-300 F I believe. I would also recommend using coconut oil instead of ghee, although ghee does work just fine.

First thanks to Flameon for sharing this Information. My first attempt to follow the recipe, was with using the make shift double boiler. Small amount of water splashed into the floating bowl. Only lost the last couple of capsules by sucking the water up with the coconut oil. The remaining capsules worked great for an all night medication for sleep and joint pain.
Sense the first batch, I have filled hundreds of capsules, and have had no complaints from those I have given them to. Just request for the recipe. I now follow the recipe and use the oven set to 200º F. Placing the Hash and the oil into 4 or 7 ounce oven safe bowl. Every ten to fifteen minutes open the oven and stir, for no less than one and a half hours. As in Flameons post higher temperatures with longer cook time make for more of a heavier body high.
I also am using a Cap-M-Quik capsule machine, which holds 50 of the "00" capsules. To save time I will make a couple hundred capsules at a time. I take two to three capsules to sleep at night. Best sleep aid ever, have used several different kinds. Will not wake up for seven to eight hours, barely even move during the night. To make things simpler for me I us one oven safe bowl per each batch of 50 capsules. Making it easier to split the reaming Hash equally between each capsule.
Best stifle medicine around, tincture not bad substitute though. For me it is easier than medibles. I do not know anyone whom would sneak a capsule without knowing what is inside. But have had to hide or sneak eat the cookies, to keep them away from unsuspecting overeater's.:jumphappy:

Pour around three inches of boiling water into your cooking pan, then sit the mixing bowl in the water so that itâ??s floating just off the bottom (very important â?? see picture), add the oil or Ghee (clarified butter) to the mixing bowl and let it melt, then add your hashish, kief or powdered bud and dissolve slowly while keeping the lid on and the boiling water just barely simmering beneath.

N.B. Floating the mixing bowl in the water and keeping the lid on prevents â??burning offâ?? the THC which evaporates/vaporises at high temperatures (around 140 centigrade plus). The boiling water keeps the butter/oil at the perfect temperature of around 100 degrees centigrade (boiling point) to slowly â??wringâ?? out every last molecule of â??spacey goodnessâ??!.

It was probably already mentioned in this thread... but how long do you cook the bud/coconut oil for using the pan and mixing bowl method?

I am new on this site. Can some one tell me please:
1. If I want to plant some seeds is necessaruy to put them first for 24 hour in a glass of water and than in the earth?
2.After 24 hours the seeds will germinate, can you tell me please the germinate part who goes out(emerges) from the seed will be the root or the steam?
I mean how I must put the germinated seeds in the earth? With germinate part down or up? And how deep I must put the seed in the erth?
Thank you!
Have a great day!

Can someone tell me this: after growth, flowerring and harvest, the female plant will die or will start an other cycle of life?
Thank you!

ok so i made this with kief and hash, worked amazing, took 4 pills and it freaking got me soooo stoned. good job.

I just can't seem to get this to work.

I have used vaporized weed 2 times, and also fresh (yet rather low grade) weed just the other day. Last night I took 3 capsules and felt NOTHING. I wonder if I'm just cooking it at the wrong temperature. I used 1.5g of grounded bud, simmering in a crockpot on low/212 F for 2 hours. I am following the instructions as best as I can, and still nothing.

1. Is the temperature too high? It hovers at about 212 Fahrenheit.
2. Am I cooking it for too long?

Ok... So this is my first post! I read the entire thread as well as some other related threads. I am now cooking my first batch. I am a MMJ patient and if I get these to work it will be great. I will update once they are tested. Has only been 1/2 hour in the convection toaster oven temperatures are steady at 235F. I am using 1.5G of Purple Diesel :thumbsup: and 1.5 tsp of coconut oil. :hippy:

Well it has been 2 1/2 hours since I took 2 capsules. Don't really feel anything... I will continue to wait for a couple more hours...:(

Alright. Here is the update. I took 2 capsules at 1pm and a friend took 2 at 2pm. Around 4:30 we still hadn't felt anything. So we took two more... 6:00 pm came and we were wasted! My eyes were zig-zagging all over. I couldn't stop smiling and then I got really tired. Went to bed at 8pm. I literally slept walked to the bathroom and couldn't remember going. I also fainted in the bathroom and then I woke up. Woke up at 6:30 still wasted. I have never slept walked in my life. I haven't fainted ever either! Great Stuff! I think 1 would have been plenty. Just wish it hit sooner than 5 hours.

Do you get same Red-Eyed effect from pills as you do from smoke or is it less severe?

haha this may just be a new way to bring them on a plane in you're regular medications capsoles and they would never know. infact you could mix em in with some and just give them a marking only you would notice and get blasted.

Ello All..

Well this is my 3rd time at trying the caps... Tried a few weeks ago with just grabbing some widow and filling up a couple of caps... schoolboy error i know..

Last night did a bit of widow in some other solid olive oil, cooked it in a broiler for about 15 mins... not sure if that had too much affect as had a few pipes as well.

But i'm determined to get it right! Read this post last night at silly o'clock and decided to go to town and buy some supplies.

Got slow cooker, egg cups measuring spoons, finally found some coconut oil as well!

used 1g of ZeroZero to make this and a pinch of green - i'm lucky as a mate grows it! The zerozero is expensive here though!

So waiting till later to try the caps. Only had 0 sized caps though so will have 2 i think.. So hope its good! WIll post back later ( if i can ) and let you know how it goes.

Nice one!

i never woulda thought about how to do this!!!:thumbsup:

Ah man... just coming up now i think...

see ya on the flip side

HI Jst to let you know that it all went ok the other night... good times. Thing was though i was using size 0 caps.

I've ordered some 00 from the net and have just finished cooking up a batch in the slow cooker. Only thing is though that the caps are kinda only half full?

I dont know if flame still reads this post as i know it was a few years ago ( i'm only up to reading to page 16! ) But is this right? I measured out the oil in the measuring spoons.. 1.5 teaspoons.. cooked between 80 - 120 left it cool and sucked up the oil in a syringe and then scooped out the rest.. and err not quite what i was expecting Have i done summit wrong or is this just how it is?

Loving them so far though... blazed last night with the other caps!

[quote=Flameon].

Simply set the cooker to â??lowâ?? (around 80/90 degrees centigrade), add the ghee/oil and then the hash/kief or bud and leave to slowly simmer for the required time.

1 hour for hash.
1 and half hours for kief.
2 hours for bud.

______________

Do you leave the crock on for only 2 hours for bud or do you heat it up first, bring it to a simmer, then count 2 hours?

thanks everyonefor this its like the golden fleece. okay did everything but do you believe i forgot to use left over paste residue. i just got the oil. will i get any effects

Hey, I was just wondering. When youre finished cooking the oil and bud, in my case, do you drain the remainder of the bud out with cheesecloth before filling the capsules, or do you just go ahead and pour it into the capsule with the bud still in it?
Thanks!

Finally decided to try this. I ordered some gel caps from ebay, and some extra virgin coconut oil from Amazon.

I already got my coconut oil, now I'm just waiting on the caps.... I don't have a scale currently, so does anyone have another method of measuring out weed? (can anyone tell me how much weed is in a tsp/tbsp?)

It's sad to see this thread not thrive like it used to, after reading through all of it. (Yes, all of it)

I'm finally attempting this myself. As I type this, I have my entire keif supply (Which I hope is at least a gram, it filled almost an entire mint tin. I have no scale which is why I can't be sure) simmering in a crock pot that's currently sitting at 203 Degrees Fahrenheit with 2 1/2 tsp. of Extra virgin coconut oil. I'm really crossing my fingers on this one, and I hope things turn out well.

I'll be posting back occasionally with updates.
