You're almost there Opie....you just need to tweak a little and find what temp is right for you. Big body stone that comes on real slow and hangs on forever? That's what happens to me when I don't cook it enough.

Bro, when making the capsules, you've got to decarboxylify your herb, this turns the THCA into THC and makes it absorbable into your blood stream.
Bake the oil in your oven at exactly 325 for 5 or so minutes (get a cheap oven thermometer to make sure) then put the shit back in the capsules.
I pray this works for you.
Certainly worth trying max, thanks for the tip ;)
Certainly, it makes me sad when someone tries something and it doesn't work out like they'd hoped. That weed wants to be smoked/ingested/whatever to make people happy lol.
I'm just helping everyone (weed, and consumer of it) be happy!
haha
max, good attitude, and thanks. If my little hick town has a candy thermometer, I'll be getting one today.
Lemme know how it goes man!
Best of luck.
OK folks, thanks to everybody who's trying to help me get this working. I am probably going to try again today with my new candy/deep fry thermometer. After researching a little I've found the two are interchangeable. I'll probably try to get the oil to about 280 and see what happens. Also, longer time, maybe 8 hours?
Don't know why I didn't think of it before: Why can't we use our laser thermometers to measure the oil temp? Wouldn't this be the absolute best way? I guess I'll use both and compare.
Oh please do compare. I'd love to know that. Opie, here is what I would do if I were you and if you have the weed .....start some take it up to 280F.....after 2 hours take out enough for one dose....after 4 hours take some again etc.....Let me say I have NEVER cooked mine for 8 hours so while I have only heard good things about cooking longer I can't swear to them with my life. ;)
That's right, as I type this I am taking bong hits, baking for capsules and making firecrackers. Well I guess I really should be ingesting all 3.
So far the the temps have been about 12 degrees cooler when measured with the laser thermometer. However, I can't get the whole bulb submerged. I'm up to, I don't know whatever that picture shows.
I've never made firecrackers before, and I have to do a little improvising. I'm using crackers and nutella and almond butter (more fat). Hope they do something. Should be about done. I split up 10 grams for capsules and baking.
I think MVP has the cooking thing down better than I do. My cookies put people to sleep. ;)
