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

[vileoxidation]

Yeah - neither of us have eaten it before, so we aren't exactly sure what to expect when it does work right. We are thinking this time we won't smoke before, but we don't know if we should test them tonight.... we've got 4.5-5.5 hours till bed. We want to so badly, but *I* don't know if its worth it. !!! :stoned:

Lol, they are ALWAYS worth it. Once you get your recipe down you'll start saving alot in the amount of ganja you use. :thumbsup: (this has been an unexpected side effect that I LOVE.) I say pop a few and check out a funny movie....they're TOTALLY hilarious when stoned.

[vileoxidation]

Heh, alright. :thumbsup: I'll update with results...probably tomorrow morning though...lol.

And - thanks again!

You saying its mostly liquid...hmm.....should be more along a 50/50 split....otherwise you'll need more caps to make up for the extra oil.

Should we add more weed and just cook it for longer? Will that hurt what we have done already?

[vileoxidation]

We just looked at it more closely, and it has some paste at the bottom, and a good amount of oil at the top. We took it out of the crockpot for now. Advice?

[Weedhound]

If you've done two hours at the correct temp you probably have it cooked pretty well. I'd try them as is....you may need more capsules to accomplish the same thing.

You COULD add more weed....but then I'd say you should cook for another two hours which would be a total of four.

I'd go for them as is. :jointsmile:

We had way too much liquid, and the boyfriend thought it would be hard to get it to stay in the pills, especially since we had problems with them leaking yesterday (any ideas about that?). So we added another .5 g, and are cooking it for two more hours. We will fill them tonight and try them out tomorrow morning, is what it's looking like.

It's still only about 50/50 oil/weed now, but I'm guessing (hoping) the extra time simmering will help extract a bit more...here goes nothing! (Again!)

[Weedhound]

I had about 50 of those "here goes nothings" but it's most likely a better idea. There's a pic in my thread that shows a bowl of the stuff cooked pretty well. The weed is saturated and with a few extra pockets of oil....that's plenty imo.

What kind of oil are you using?
