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

[STIMPY21]

Thanks to all that are involved in this thread. I have right now a nirvana like high, and thank the lord is probably going to be one of those long ones. What I was missing was duration of the heat. I had 140 c temps before but I wasn't letting it cook long enough. Quite by accident I have discovered how I'm going to do it from now on. I'm not drooling yet but my mouth is suddenly moist for some reason.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAha I got 42 more of those babies left too out of less that a 1/4 cup of oil/herb mixture. Very good method.

Hey everyone, im new to the forum but made some capsules for the first time like a week ago. I read through like the first half of the thread before deciding to try this and going out to round up all the equipment...
*Started off just throwing the crock pot on low (out of low, high, warm, and off settings)
*Added a gram and a half good chronic, (twist-type-grinder or whatever its called grinded) with a teaspoon and a half of room temp coconut oil in a shot glass (diameter probably about an inch, pretty small)
*With about an inch of water in the crock pot

And left for about 2 hours. I made two batches like that in like 2 days but even though I tried not to smoke any so I to clearly distinguish the capsule high, still only felt a pretty regular high when i ended up smoking around the time of taking the capsules (actually like all day).

Yesterday I started reading pretty much the second half of the thread and went out to get me a candy thermometer. Now I took out the water and left the thermometer in the crock pot so i could read it through the glass lid so I wouldn't have to open it and so I could watch it heat up. Waited till it reached about 220f i believe it was is when i put in a small tea cup with 3 grams of sticky ass sweet tooth grinded with my grinder (couldn't get it powdery or anything). Now I left the thermometer in the cup (had to kind of tip it over a little to get the lid to close) and monitoring to keep it around 220-250 for probably about 2 and a half hours... So hopefully this batch comes out better, wish me luck and sorry if anything didnt make sense or i left something out im pretty blazed right now :stoned::stoned: haha

The ones made last weekend were very low potency, but it was great fun and a learning experience.

Second batch. This time I used coconut oil and this time I used the measurements Flameon used in the original instructions: I used 1.6 g of powdered bud and 1.5 tsps of oil.

Between 200 - 250 for 2.5 hours in the slow cooker. During the third hour, the temp went up to almost 300. At this time, I began to smell the weed pretty strong, so I turned it off. The finished oil had a slight burned smell, so I was afraid I'd lost some potency from overcooking. I filled 13.5 caps with the oil mixture.

So. I took one cap at around 11:15 a.m. It is now 12:37 and I am having a very hard time typing this, so I guess I didn't lose too much potency. Much, much stronger than the last ones. :thumbsup: Seriously.

ok, so everything went fine I think and I packed i think somewhere around 60 cpsules with those 3 grams of bud + 2-3 teaspoons of coconut oil... by the way i have size 3 capsules which was all I could find which by my sizing calculations compared to 00s are about 66% of a 00... Took 6 and so did my sister (should be equivalent to about 4 00s) at around 3:30 and being 6:00 havnt felt a thing...

Its midnight where im at, and so far and not much other then the occasional "i feel a lil weird". Sometime between 7 and 8 my sister informed me that she started feeling a high, by 8 she said "it was the highest shes ever been". Between 8 and 8:30 I took another 12 (again, of my size 3 capsules which would equal roughly 8, 00 size capsules) just to see and like i said, still nothing for me at least...

sorry for posting so much but i had to come back beacuse right after posting last I watched about 1 episode of an anime (22 min mor or less) and then having firefox close down on me had to reload videos i began to look in the channel listings of the video site and came across a hip hop one in the top listing and whenon to watch a video about RZAs top 5 mcs in which kool g rap was mentioned and not knowing much about him bein that thats a little before my era decided to look him up in wikipedia and went on to spend about an hour on seraching him and related rappers and downloading music... in conclusion, if that isnt being high, i dont know what is... im really happy now, and thanks to all the creators of this thread, couldnt have done it without u :jointsmile:

It's so fascinating to see the little differences that work and don't work between people. Luck to everyone still trying......

1-Would you guys decaboxilize your weed just for smoking?

2-And if you had only bud ,would you use it in that form for caps. or shake it down for hash and use that for caps instead?I hear some staying with bud but wouldnt it be easier to use hash.Im just not feeling the ThC molecule thing.
3-Like, breaking it down further.Would that get more out of heated butter/weed?Put it in a Vita Mix? This blender has 2 h.p..(~$700.) So, when you put in just vegtables, turn it on ,"boiling in just 4-5 minutes",it turns it to like warm soup.i think a couple hundred degrees.Only by friction. And also its breaking the solids down further.Which is my point/question.
I always do this -try to find abetter way...when alot of times its overkill.
WEEDhound -DO a video on caps. dude! Show us how its done .Somebodys gonna do it. Thanks !!!!
