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

[simplesmok]

I just threw in a small batch using .7g of mids and just under a tsp of coconut oil. It looked to be just about a 50/50 mix.

I took your advice and put the bud in the oven first. I also threw in a tiny nug to smoke to see if I noticed any difference. It was really dried by this point so it wasn't the best for smoking but I can say that I can feel a notable difference. (After 3 hits the helicopter passing by sounds like its in my bedroom.) It was also so much easier to grind (I don't have a coffee grinder). I used my cheapy plastic grinder and then ran a knife through it a couple of times. It was the finest I've ever gotten it, looked like a fine powder with a few tiny pieces thrown in.

I used the toaster oven this time, set at 250F. After melting the oil (before throwing the bud) I checked the temp of the oil and it was @ about 198F. I'm going to check it at 30 mins and then let it be from there.

I'm hoping this batch works. I have a good feeling :thumbsup: (maybe because I'm high.)

Also, I was planning to make 3 caps with this and take them all later tonight. Do you think that would be good or should I only take two?

It ended up making 4 caps filled to the brim. 2 weighed at 1.2g each, and the other 2 at 1.1g each. Anyone have suggestion on how many I should take? I plan to take them at the rink after my hockey practice (Ahh I love the stealthiness). I'm going to stay and watch the game after and should be home about 1hr 20 minutes after taking them. I hope to spend the rest of the night on the couch.

I checked the temp after 45 minutes and it was at 219. I checked it again when I took it out after the 2 hrs and the temp was 235F. I'm hoping heat was the issue as I never recorded anything over 195F in the crockpot.

I would suggest that you take 1, wait for 90 minutes to see how it affects you, then take another at the 2 hour mark if you are not feeling it enough.

My GF took 1 of the capsules I made from 1/8 mids and she felt good for several hours. The 1/8 mids made 24 capsules.

Doing the math:

3.5 gr = 24 capsules
3.5 gr /24 caps = .146 gr/cap

In your situation:

.7 gr = 4 caps
.7 gr / 4 caps = .175 gr/cap

I would not take more than 2 at any time, unless you have a lot of experience with edibles. Be sure to come back and post your story of what happened. Good luck and have fun!

I ended up taking two as soon as my hockey practice was done (6pm). I ate a granola bar with it. I didn't really eat much today and after a hockey workout I'm starving. I'm trying my hardest not to mow down.

It's now 20 after 7 and I've got a pretty sweet high going. My boyfriend and his friend each took 1. I walked in the door and they both looked up and me and said "I'm high!"
My bf's friend is an everyday smoker and about 280lbs. He said one or two more and he would be blazed beyond belief.

I'm super happy that it finally worked. Thanks for your help flame and mvp!

So it turned out to be a great night. By 12 I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and hit the sack. I had a steady high going all night. I ate dinner @ about 9 (stuffed shells..yum) and shortly after my high got better. It wasnt as much as a couch lock as I expected but it was pleasant none the less. Two gave me a long pleasant high. I think next time that I don't have anything going on the next morning I will take 3, I like to be truly blazed.

I'll be cooking up another batch today!

i was just wondering some stuff

i dont have a balance so is there any other way to calculate the weight of oil i had??
i know this question is kind of stupid but still..


I'm interested giving a try with a quato and even an ounce but i would like to know if i need to add more cooking time when cooking with bigger quantity...

So far, i've brought the capsule, i have the crock pot, i got stach but i cannot find the coconut oil stuff at the grocery. So could you tell me how to make ghee...just to be sure...


ty a lot in advance!

Guys, I just wanted to say a big, big thank you to all the people who've taken the time to give this method a try and then post up their experiences, especially to those guys who've stuck with it despite running into problems on their first attempts.

It's mostly down to your hard work (and persistence) that we've managed to create a really comprehensive guide, including some excellent 'troubleshooting' advice and information.

I don't think I expected this thread to attract much attention, especially as it involves a fair bit of preparation and ingredients etc. But, thanks to some really 'pioneering' work from a number of you guys, it's really taken off and you've shown just how possible it is to get really great results from small quantities of weed.

Great job and cheers! :thumbsup:

p.s.
simplesmok, nice work!
Getting enough 'product' from less than three quarters of a gram (0.7 g), to get three people high, just shows how well you've cracked the technique (from 'mids' too!).

tjcioffe, keep up the good work and let me know how you get on, I'm especially interested to hear if you get 'duff' working for you.

MVP - You are my ambassador of quan man! Thanks.

SmAsH, a level teaspoon equals about 5ml if that helps. Also, don't worry about cooking larger amounts for longer, assuming your hitting the right temperature, 2 or 3 hours should be fine. Although, I would suggest you start off with a smaller amount at first until your sure your crock pot/oven is doing 'it's thing' correctly.

b0n3ZA & PlantHeadJ, thanks for the kind words and welcome to the party, let us know how you get on and feel free to post up any questions.

Thanks again guys and cheers

To make Ghee just take a stick or two of regular butter (preferably unsalted), and gently heat in a pan.
Once melted the butter will start to froth (from the milk, water and other impurities), just skim off the froth with a spoon until your left with a clear golden oil.

When you take the pan off the heat the oil will set just like regular butter, but will keep for a couple of years assuming you store it in the fridge.
Just use when needed.

p.p.s. Sorry if this is a bit random, but b0n3ZA, about your avatar, is that 'Canadian Mountie' the one that's outside 'Starbucks' in Niagara falls by any chance?
