Greetings Flameon,
I know it's be said.. But I must add my 2 cents in.... Absolutely, postively, The greatest post I seen on the making of capsules from a to z everything is included... My biggest THANKS I will give this a try real soon (:
The only downside I've noticed from the caps is the tolerance. The first one I take will get me ripped, but within a day or 2 I'm taking 4 or 5 and just getting buzzed. It might be edibles in general but my tolerance shoots through the roof when I'm taking capsules. I've heard others mention this too. Mostly about green dragon however. Is it common to build up a tolerance quickly to edibles?
hi everyone! i've enjoyed reading this, though i admit, after page 20 i just skipped to the last.
please don't look down on me for my ignorance, i'm just a little redneck mountain girl that loves her green. :) kinda ashamed to admit it here, but i smoke out of a one hitter that used to be a keychain, and the ends where you screw them off are so stripped from years of use that it's a pain to keep all three parts connected. about 5 hits from it does me good. at times i can roll a decent joint..lol. i'm poor, but luckily i have a friend to gives me some from time to time. definitely not the best, but not the worst. shwag to mids (i assume). i've never used it in any other way other than smoking, though i have heard of brownies, and i'm so intrigued to try something else other than smoking, especially when i go visit family, it's hard to make excuses to go to the store every few hours!
i'm not looking to get knocked on my ass, i still need to funtion for daily family stuff. i want the effect of smoking, without actually smoking. smoking works great, but lately i've had this nagging feeling that my lungs don't like it anymore. i love the idea of the capsules and think its a great way to prolong my supply. (or is this the wrong method for me? should i look into something else) i just have a few questions...i'm sorry if i missed them while i was reading...
i have no scales, and no clue how much i get when i get it. can anyone break down the recipe into measurements other than grams or ounces? (as in, when i grind it up, how much would i need (tsp, tbsp?) i'm thinking it will take a few times of experimenting to get just right, and i don't want to end up wasting too much of what little i get. like i said, i'm looking for a nice buzz, and with using stuff that isn't the greatest ever (i never knew that it green had so many different names! i told ya, i'm a redneck girl, we get what we can when we can!) i think i can get the rest of the procedure down, just need to get a thermomoter. but i don't want to try anything until i make sure i know just how much to use.
i'm sorry if i sound so lame and ignorant. and please don't think of me and as idiot jumping into something i know nothing about. i don't want to try anything until i'm confident and sure of what i am doing. i have no intention of trying this method until i completely and fully understand it. which is why i haven't just thrown it in and see what happened..lol.
oh, and for what it's worth, the stuff i get, is ready to be smoked. is this what what you are using, or do you use freshly picked herb? tried growing my own but freaked out when i came home and saw cops parked in my yard (turns out they were just there for the neighbors, and my plant only got like six inches high..lol. but it still freaked me out!).
sorry for the long post and numerous questions, but i'm seriously interested in this method and would like to try it, but i don't want to go into it completely stupid with no clue what i'm doing and just hope for the best. i want good results, even if it takes a while, i want to start out making the smallest amount so i can experiment until i find the perfect combination to make in bigger batches. :)
If you read this far, you get a cookie! (sorry, not the good kind as I don't know how to do them yet, but youll get one when I learn!).
Thanks a bunch! Hope yall enjoy green as much as I do! :)
Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks to all who have contributed so far (especially my friend and co-conspirator 'weedhound' - I miss you girl x - God bless you).
Jebus you are my ambassador of kwan!
In terms of 'tweaking' the process, I've tried some new variations on the methods listed, but nothing that I think is a significant improvement on what is already known.
If anyone wants to get immersed in the process, there's no substitute for a reliable 'slow cooker', an accurate set of scales and some Pyrex measuring jugs.
These days, I tend to make batches of 100 at a time, and therefore, a plastic syringe and a 'cap-me-quick' holder are essential (otherwise it takes quite while by hand).
If you can source good strength oils (or 'budder'), that also makes the process easier in terms of replicating a standard level of potency per capsule made, same applies to a good hash.
Using the 'green stuff' (dried cannabis, NOT fresh), can produce awesome results (sometimes far more 'stoney' than you'd get from processed cannabis products, i.e. oil/hash/etc), but is often more 'trial and error' than other methods.
Tolerance is always an issue no matter what the delivery method, my own personal usage is to leave about 48 hours before 'going again'.
P.S. For those of you who enjoy the cinema, these things and 3D films were made for one another (just get a designated driver - and keep me happy).
Alice in wonderland anyone . . ?
Stay safe and enjoy

In the truest definition you are not in possession of marijuana, however it would be possible to be charged with a paraphanalia charge. If you had a couple you could argue they were for you and you alone(but if you only had a couple why didn't you swallow them when you saw the flashing lights?) if you had several/several hundred you would be dealing with distribution/trafficking charges. I could be wrong but That would be my interpretation of the law as it is written in my locale. Also I have to give Flameon CRAZY, INSANE, MAD props for his post, I have a capmquick device and some empty capsules(don't ask) and now I am gonna take a shot at this!
Hi FM!
As you suggest, I have been able to travel where ever I wanted with concentrates, absolutely never illegially of course, and attracted zero notice regardless of where I went.
As we all know, the MMJ card proscribes medicating openly in public, but allows us to medicate discretely.

Hi All,
This is my first time posting here on cannabis.com. I tried this pills last week with 3 Grams of good bud (finely grinned) and 3 TBS of Ghee but i didn't get any effect, until I took 6 of them. I think I may have put the heat on too high on my crock pot, or maybe 2 hours is too long for the lowest setting on my crock pot.
Any ideas?
am i gonna strian the bud out of the finished oil?
I strain it to make it easier to handle, but everything goes into the capsules.
You should have done 3 teaspoons not tablespoons. Your oil to herb ratio was too high. Also 2 hours may not be enough. I let mine go for 12 hours usually. Plus it takes a long time to get the crockpot up to temp. You want it to be simmering for at least a few hours. I doubt you had the temp too high. Most crockpots high setting is around 250-300 F I believe. I would also recommend using coconut oil instead of ghee, although ghee does work just fine.Quote:
