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

Hi Gorlax

You'll find that coconut oil remains in liquid form for quite a while as it cools. I tend to wait until it's just a little above room temperature before I use mine to avoid the capsules melting.
If in doubt though you can always put it in the fridge, wait for it to set hard (like candle wax) and then scrape up little 'pellets' of oil/butter with the tip of a knife to add to your capsules.

I've experimented and tested these after storing them in the freezer and fridge for periods of several months and have seen no loss of potency, so a few days is absolutely fine (storing in the fridge will prevent the oil getting warm enough to turn runny, and prevent any possible 'leakage'.

Good luck, and don't forget to grind the weed finely and use all of it (sediment included)!
Cheers

Ok Sounds good! I was thinking about the gelatin melting because it melts when saliva hits it let alone oil!!

FYI: Coconut oil naturally becomes solid at approx. 75 degrees F... If it cools too much and becomes solid, I put the container in nice warm/almost hot water to bring it back to a liquid state...

Awesome tutorial, brother.

Ever thought about trying this with ground up stems?

I got a question.. I live with my parents, though I am an adult, but they wouldn't be too keen on me doing this .. I smoke in my room and have never aroused suspicion as far as I know, would this method compare to smoking in a room or would it be much worse.. I realize it'd take a couple hours, so it'd definitely stay in the air longer, but do you think the smell would travel, say downstairs.. with a towel at the top and bottom of the door.. window open, fan pointing out, an incent or two burning.. I think it'd be all right.. I'd just need to borrow the crock pot from the kitchen.

I have a winter freezer.. my window...

Ok I few tips I would love to throw out there after making my capsules!!!!

#1 I placed my bud/coconut in a coffee cup then placed it in crock pot this made it more manageable instead of placing it into just in the crock pot.

#2 Their is a faint smell that is given off but is more coconut smelly then bud just a heads up

#3 Freeze it after and then put it into the capsules.ALOT EASIER!!

I am making a batch of these right now. About 30 minutes till they are done.
I only used about .6 and I am dividing it in 3 parts. The whole purpose of me trying this is to see if I can find an alternative to smoking while using the same amount (or less) of bud. I will report back with the results (unlike others in the past I will be back).

Thanks for the in-depth guide Flameon!
