Oh yeah, the morning 'buzz over' was a nice benefit too. The whole trick is to keep your low temps consistent - no highs and lows , which is why I used a pizza stone , it stabilizes the temp swings as the elements turn on and off.
The only negative is there was hardly any head high , (but the body high was overwhelming). I'm going to try this method using NL99 which is highly psychoactive.
I'm really excited to do this, I just can't afford to mess up as I will bring these on vacation with me. I'm just confirming, If I use a crock pot and simmer it at 225 degrees for at least 3 hours. It should work right? I'll be using 1 gram (completely ground up into a powder), so with that I use 1 teaspoon of clarified butter? If this is all completed flawlessly, I should have a flawless product, right? Thank you so much!
personally I would go longer...longer the better , as long as you can maintain a consistent temp. I'd go 8 hrs. I just did :)
Hey guys,
I'm glad the boards are back up. Anyway, I attempted to make these pills twice. The first time I used 1/8th and it failed miserably. The second attempt somewhat worked. I took 7 capsules and got a decent buzz all day, the thing is it took 4 hours to kick in. I took 7 0 sized capsules (00 are 118ml and 0 are 96ml). My first attempt failed because the temperature fluctuated greatly as I put water into the pot on high to keep the temperature down and as it evaporated the temperature rose faster. The second time I left it on low and it was at 225 exactly for 3 hours. I think the problems are that I eyeballed the weed, didn't clarify the butter enough (Might just go buy coconut oil) and that I used size '0' capsules. I'll post back after I get a scale and do it with proper amounts. Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I also forgot, When I'm pilling them half the capsules get pure butter and the other half get the herb that's been soaking. Are the butter ones obviously more potent and do the herb ones have any potency?
Joe, are you using a crock pot? lol :rastasmoke:
on your edit note--did you try them yet?
I am getting hi into edibles and find oven's fail you. I learned that years ago baking, anyway. That's why you have to watch and wait for the product in an oven--too unreliable. Every good cook has a great thermometer. You'll laugh your ass off at this. I bought a great digital scale at a garage sale for $2.00. And I can even operate it! Of course, the area I live in and near has a lot of use for them.
Also, I have some in peanut oil--pretty good stuff. I found it was easier to just buy it though! Same with the butter. I don't even think I can make it for what I buy it for. But, that is why a club is a good thing to get involved in.
Just think, when we get ALL our civil rights, we can have the girl and boy scout mmj bakers of Amerca Club!
Glad U R back! P/R:hippy:
I was using a crock pot and I did eat them a while ago. My first batch was a total failure but my later batch gave me a buzz, like I said. The first dose of the second batch (unsuccessful) was 3 pure butter capsules. The second dose was 7 capsules, where 2 were 'mostly' butter and 5 were pure herb. Now that I think about it, It seems the herb ones worked as well.
Also, I'm getting an extremely small yield. As I already said I'm using smaller pills and I can only fill like 15 with 1.5g of herb(Estimate, possibly too rough, as I said I'm getting a scale to be exact) and 1.5 teaspoons of clarified butter. Thoughts?
Remind me again WHY I would want to put my buds in a pill to swallow???They already sort of have that....called Marinol, prescription only. Anyways, if I'm going to ingest THC then it's going to be in some awesome food-brownies, cakes, cookies, pizza, etc not a pill. In the time it takes you to make these, I could vaporize my buds and get 95% the effect of pills give. Waste of time imo...:twocents: :vap_rasta:
Hi everyone,
I posted back in April after making some very up and trippy capsuals, At the time they were almost too strong and 3 would be very intense indeed.
I froze about 40 of them at the time, for a rainy day.
Well the rain has fallen and unmistakably so has the quality of the high.:(
Now I can eat them all day long (8 in 8hrs) and get nothing but a serious low and a five star headache. In fact the headache I had after 3 days of taking them was probably been the worst one I have ever had. Ever. There is no way that anyone could medicate with them on a regular basis now they would make you worse!
It seems that 10 months was too long to store them in the freezer as I took a few a couple of months after I made them and they were fine. How could they change so much?
Anyone had the same problem. Flame.........?
:rastasmoke:
I had the same problem. I made some and they were the fire. I tossed them in the freezer and would take a few out every few days. I think I remember them going down in quality over a very short period of time but I thought it was just my tolerance. I stopped taking that batch for a month or so and when I tried them it was the same thing. A horrible headache and not really a high. I have heard that when you put cannabis in the freezer it degrades the thc. So it would only make sense that the caps would degrade too. I'm making a new batch now and I'm going to keep them in the fridge this time. I'm not going to try and save any for extended periods of time. No reason when I can just make a new batch.
May I get some more information about the shelf-life of this extraction?
A friend of mine had a medical emergency and will not be able to smoke anymore. I have decided that I will help her out by making her a constant supply of 'edibles' and thought that I would go ahead and use the method described in this thread.
The problem is, I was originally planning on making half of a year's worth of capsules for her; it is a good thing I didn't because it would completely suck to lose that much work do to some sort of degradation.
So again I ask, what is the deal with the last two posters results? Does anyone have any hard numbers on how long this stuff will last and in what conditions?
Please help! Not for me, but for my friend.
:)
