Hey Flame, do you know if cheese has enough of this "short chain fatty acids"? Ive searched a lot in the internet, but coudnt find a good answer.

Hi Coelho, how's it going?Quote:

Ironically, some of the best are the Dutch cheeses: Edam and Gouda, but as a rule of thumb, the hard cheeses seem to score well.
The reason the short-chain fatty acids work so well in Canna cooking is a bit on the technical side, but basically, they don't need to be broken down or emulsified by the 'bile acids' in the stomach, and therefore are absorbed directly into the liver via the portal artery. This means that, unlike the longer chain fatty acids (which require a lengthier and much more complex process), most of what youve eaten gets transferred into the bloodstream (part of the reason that saturated fats are seen as less healthy).
In the case of the longer chain acids, because the process is so much involved a high percentage of THC will have passed 'harmlessly' through the small intestines without being converted.
There are also some studies that claim the 'denser' molecular structure of 'single bond' saturated fats allow for a higher absorption rate of THC, than monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats and oils, but absolute conclusive evidence of this is hard to come by.
Hope this helps, you'll have to let me know what you have in mind. I'm always up for trying new techniques.
P.S. I've been reading your instructions on 'green dragon' and feel inspired to give it a whirl. It's not something I've tried before, so I'm probably going to have a few questions of my own for you if that's OK?

Cheers, and have a good one, flame :jointsmile: :thumbsup:
Seat belts people! :D:thumbsup:
Hmm I dunno...

It helped a lot... thanks very much!Quote:

Then, reading your post i learned the reason because your recipe works even with small amounts of weed (the short chain fatty acids). But the only oil i had was soybean oil, which is rich in poliinsaturated fats, and very poor in saturated (the good ones). As the only other source of fat i had was cheese, i thought it could work.
Of course i did weed sandwich several times, but as i always used a LOT of weed, i never knew if the strong effects i felt were due the good absortion of the THC by the cheese, or due the amounts of weed i did use.
As now i have only small amounts of hash oil, i had to be sure that mixing it in cheese would work with small amounts.
So, even without your answer, i did it. I used about 6x the amount i would smoke usually, and get almost as high as if i had smoked. Or rather... the level of higness were almost the same, but the duration were far greater... some 2-3 hours of high.
Well... it would be VERY unfair if i refused to answer your questions, after this long reply from you... anyway, i have the same pleasure that you have in answering questions, so any questions will be welcome! :thumbsup:Quote:

Hey Weedhound,yup I found the capsules to be a pain in the ass to fill as well but I am getting my technique down.I keep the capsules in the fridge and use a sharp knife and shave slivers of butter off and fill it that way.I tried the syringe method but just melted the caps.I still have to watch it though as my fingers will melt the caps as well.
Well more updates later.Hey flame thanks for the great thread...heres your atta boy for the day:thumbsup:.Take care,be well, and most of all be safe.
I understand you make them into capsules to help yourself with dosage, and the ability to base your boundaries and experiences on how many you have taken, but if you really wanted to, could you just take an equal liquid portion of the butter oil and just drink it for the same effects?
I don't mean to derail the thread, but I've been reading hashish eating stories all day and my capsules haven't arrived yet. I have a tiny bit of hash left and Im thinking I'll just rearrange the ingredient amounts and chug it before school tomorrow =P.
I really think the capsule is just something to put things in. I'm not using the capsules and I just let the stuff harden on a plate (using coconut oil) and I'm sure you can do the same thing with the butter. Or slap it on a cracker or something. :thumbsup:
Ok,here is my update.Last night I took two of the capsules,made sure I ate something.About an hour and 15 minutes later I felt a slight buzz,and decided I needed to take another capsule.About 15-20 minutes later the first two (I am assuming)slammed me down on the couch and I stayed there the rest of the night.About an hour and half or so later I was having great dreams.
Here is the problem,my stomach was very very upset and if I wasnt so blasted probably would have been very uncomfortable to the point of having a great deal of discomfort.I did eat with the first two and then got the munchies before I took the third.My capsules are essentially my butter recipe (12 cups weed,10-12 cups of water,2 lbs of organic butter).Any thoughts or ideas?If I am going to have problems I usually get heart burn pretty bad sometimes,but I didnt with this,just a really upset stomach,upset and painful almost.Take care,be well,and most of all be safe.
