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

I always put my semi ground weed in the oven for a bit to just get rid of any moisture that may be in the budbefore I powder it in the coffee grinder. If it actually chemically changes the weed i'm not convinced but I wouldn't skip this step because any moisture is not good. My capsules have been too strong at times so if it works don't change it is my theory.

I think if you want a quick hit you need to smoke, vaporise or inject it. ha ha. My guess is that if you sped up the oncome, the high would not last as long. You would need to speed up your metabalism (sp?) then slow it back down somehow. IMO. :stoned:

Hope this helps.

Hey I made these capsules a few days ago and did no get the results i was looking for in the least. My procedure was as follows:

1. I ground up about 3 grams of bud in my coffee grinder. Super finely ground. Same consistency as dust.

2. I Decarboxylated the ground bud in the oven at 300 for about 5 minutes and then added the bud to 14 grams of coconut oil which was preheated to 230 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. I simmered the mixture for 2 hours and then put in the refrigerator on a plate for 10 minutes

4. I portioned the "loaf" into 24 pieces and filled the capsules

5. I swallowed one capsule to start and after 1 1/2 hours of being sober, I swallowed 2 more.

6. 1 1/2 hours later, I was still sober, so i took 2 more. 1 1/2 hours later still nothing.

7. I gave up that night and went to sleep.

8. The next day I had 18 or 19 capsules left so I too them all at 6:00pm.

9. By 7:00pm I began feeling a light head high.

10. At 7:30pm I was truly high, and by 8:30pm I was feeling a peak.

11. This peak, which turned into a plateau, lasted until around 11:30pm.

12. By 12:30am, I was no longer feeling any lasting affects.

13. These pills are not practical to me atm. If i have to take 18 in one sitting to feel a high then its is neither cost effect, nor is it worth my time and bud.

I believe that I may need help in my cooking methods. I want my capsules to be so potent that the daily stoner can take one and be knocked on his/her ass for a couple hours(following the 60 to 90 minute wait).

To those that have had success with these capsules please respond asap. I'm looking to make these capsules as potent as possible. I want the capsules to be almost too strong!:vap_rasta: What temperature do you preheat your oil to? Do you add the bud the the oil prior to heating or once the oil is heated? How long do you cook your bud? Two hours? Please help by answering my questions in as much detail as possible. I want to quit smoking ganja for health reasons, and I am hoping these capsules will be the solution I am looking for.

I have been having consistent success for about 7 months now. I do tend to use a lower grade so I usually need to take two 00 capsules three times a day for my symptoms but when I am having a bad day I'll take up to four. I have a very high tolerance (I no longer smoke) a fellow patient who had no tolerance took only one around 6pm and she woke up still feeling the effects.

I like to make a month's worth of medication with each batch so I use about 2 ounces per batch.

I pre heat the oven to 275F (I used a candy thermometer to check my oven temps out just because its set at 250 doesn't always mean it gets to 250 fpr mine I set it at 275 and it gets to 250).

I do not Decarboxylated in the oven beforehand so I have no expereince with it but I think 300 degrees is too high because thc starts to vaporize around that temp.

I have heard that coconut oil is the best to use. I use a mixture of coconut and olive oil because when you make as many capsules as I do it will cool down to the solid state before I am done putting them in the capsules which is a pain.

Do you use the Crockpot method and fill the Crockpot with the coconut oil?? What temperature do you preheat the oil to?? What temperatures do you cook it at?? How long do you cook it for?? Please respond ASAP. I have been struggling with these for a few weeks now! Please help!:beatdeadhorse:

try reading the thread again :wtf:

I've used both the crockpot and oven method. If you use a crockpot you are going to want put your mixtured in a smaller heat resistant carrier because unless you plan on making a ton of it you'll end up with this too thin layer on the bottom of your crockpot that will end up burned. I got a crockpot that allowed me to set its temps I had it set at 250F preheated it before placing my mason jar inside. When I have used coconut oil I just heat it until it melts probably around 100 if I were to guess. I really did not notice any difference between the batch I made in the crockpot vs the oven for me its a matter of preference and I prefer the oven. With both the crockpot and oven I turned up the temp to 300 for ten minutes after I have "cooked" it for two hours. I then turn the oven off and leave it alone until it cools naturally another hour or two.

Think they would work as well bumping up the weed and skipping the hash? I can never find any hash....

You know with one batch I made I added three grams of hash with two ounces of ground bud and it really wasn't stronger. I plan on making a small hash batch to see if it really makes a difference.

Alright, I've been following this post for months now and I've tried almost everyones recipes. I've tried with everything from shwag to headies and I've never had a recipe work for me. I've tried it with my friend and they have had success. My question is, is it possible that some people can't get high from ingesting THC. I've had brownies and rice crispy treats many times and also never had success. I realize this probably isn't the correct place to post this but I don't know where else to put it and I feel like enought people follow this so that I might get an answer. Could it be that I just need a lot more? I'm 6 foot and only 180 lbs so I don't know what the problem could be. I've made batches with 3.5gs and taken the whole thing myself and....nothing. The pictures I've seen look just like mine and I'm out of explinations.

You are not the first to have failures and I agree I think there has to be some kind of metabolic issue to explain it. Making these capusles is not rocket science its actually quite easy.
