Cannabis Capsules â?? A step-by-step guide.

Greetings everybody. I stumbled on this post a few days ago while doing general internet hopping and was entranced. I've been looking for something like this for years and excited to give it a shot. My current stash is pretty small, barely enough for 24 caps so I am only commiting half of it to the experiment, but I have it simmering in the slow cooker at 105C as we speak and figure to give it 2 1/2 hours and see how it goes. Here's hoping it works as well as I hope it does since thats my last bit of bud for a while (hate moving to a new city, dontcha?).



AAAAAnyway, just wanted to say hi and thanks now that I got in the goodies to try this out, and hopefully I'll have some good news to post soon.

bummer.. well I just wasted less than a gram, trying to do a single dose with just coconut oil and already dry and decarbed weed. It simmered in oil around the 90-95 C degree mark for about 4-5 hrs. Nothing came of it I assume. I took it a little less than half an hr ago and just finished smoking so I dont know what to look for lol.

if this doesn't work I'll assume that this temperature is not optimal for me.

Awesome how to Flameon, thanks!

Also found some "pure cooking fat" in the parents fridge. Looks almost like white wax (checked already, it isn't). How well do you think it'd work?

Well, sadly my first go was a no go. I havent put all the material into caps yet, in case this happened, but I consumed about 3 doses worth and felt nothing. Going to scrape whats left up, put it back in, and cook it at a higher temp and see if this helps.

Genomerio, what temp did you have it at and what temp are you going to try next?

My first shot was between 90C and 105C, although I did open it 3 times to stir. This is kind of the low temp range but I figured I'd play it semi-safe since I dont have too much material to play with right now.

My second shot I am trying to reheat the mix to 120C for 2 hours.

As a side note, this shit is the funkiest smell I have ever smelled. Not bad mind you, just weird. That coconut candy and pot smell is out there.

The medium setting on mine is 85c. So I was going to try my first batch at that temp. I forget what the high setting is, but it is over 100c. If medium does not work I will put them in at high and see if that helps. From the sounds of it 85c should be plenty. Although a lot of people seem to need more heat. Maybe I'll just cook it at 85c for a few hours then dump half onto a plate for cooling and let the other half sit at high for probably another hour.

Good luck on your second shot. Hopefully I'll get my first shot at it today or tomorrow. I just don't have a scale, any chain stores I can go to to find something like that? Otherwise I'll have to get one off e-bay, and I don't really want to wait another week to do this. Although, I guess I will if I have to.

Well, secind try changed thigns a bit, but not enough. I took 2 caps this morning and after 2 1/2 hours felt nothing. So I tried another 3 caps, and waited 2 more hours. I felt a slight sensation like after smoking where your slightly stoned, but nothing more. I smoked a small amount, basically a 1 hitter bowl, and got much more stoned than usual, and for far longer. It wasnt a huge feeling after a couple hours, but it stayed there for a good 6-7 hours.

So more heat definitely improved things, however I am out of bud so for now I will have to pause my attempts. If your weed is anything like mine, 85C isnt gonna be enough to do it, it would seem.

Geno, what are you using? I'll be using Keif.

High EveryOne! New to this site,not new to High Times. . tried the THC extraction into butter using the crock-pot with overnight cooking of leaf/shake, used about (this dates me) three fingers of weed, ground in the blender.Cooked on stove, lowest setting too high, switched to crockpot on low, cooked 22 hours. After whole process, had about 1c. of cannabutter. I used 1/2 c for some banana-pecan 'jewel' muffins, adding 2 Tablespoons of leftover groundshake, and also made brownies (from a mix) substituting 1/3 c. cannabutter for oil--I remelted it. Four little muffins, or three very small brownies, that gets me a 'mind' high (not just a body high), kinda haven't decided how I feel about it. Still have some butter left in freezer, got lots of capsules left from my failed chemistry extraction of morning glory seeds, so I think I'll make some up. . . Thanks Guys, going on vacation. .
