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

[SomeGuy77]

Could I just use a grinder to screen out all the crystal then put it in the capsule? Really hard to find keif where I go to school >.<

Btw why wouldn't it work if I busted it up really fine?

Anyone? BUMP

Made 1 batch with
1g 'tumbled hash'
exactly the way the directions say
effects were minimal

made 1 batch with 7g unsalted butter in place of coconut oil
effects ranged from nothing to extreme
(might have had problems with the type of hash, it kept sinking to the bottom and clogging the syringe)


Won't be repeating this with tumbled hash

Made one batch with 1 stick of butter (110g)
with 4g of top quality buds along with 5g vaped buds
ended up with 75 capsules that don't do a thing
-ingested 3, should have been about 0.053g THC per capsule not including the vaped bud

Made another Batch with 4 grams of keif and 26g coconut oil
-waiting to be tested
28 capsules were created
rated at 0.143g thc per capsule (hopefully these work)

Do you think I can just toss the remaining 72 capsules into a pan and just melt it all down? or should I attempt to take all the butter out before melting it down? I was thinking of recycling it to bake some cupcakes

the 0.143g thc capsules were perfect for me

Some might find it a little mediocre but perfect for myself

This is what works for me.


I take 4 cups of canola oil, double boil with 4oz of vapor duff. After three hours, I strain.

Next, I use 4 cups of dried bud, sugar leaf, and re-double boil it.

After that, I take 1c of the Canna-oil and add 14 grams of Bubble hash, and re-double boil.

Finally, I add 2T of Cayenne pepper for capsasin.


It looks like this in the end.


I call it "The Goo"

Sorry, forgot to mention that we use an eye dropper to fill 00 size gelatin caps. They work very well for insomnia, fibro pain, crohns, IBS, ect.

Okay
i think im going to go ahead and do this, but i have a question
im thinking most of the failures have to do with fluctuating temps from crock pot to crock pot
so to try to assure the lowest waste of bud
what crokpots do people who have succeeded, speciffically flameon and weedhound
i read the whole thread and saw it was answered
but go figure now i cant find it

Hi guys and sorry for the delay in answering some of the questions you've asked recently (I've been out of action for a while, long story).

Someguy77, I may have misunderstood (ignore me if I have), but I think you're asking if the capsules will still work if you just put 'raw' kief in them without cooking in oil. If so, Revanche21 is spot on, it won't work (or at least not without consuming vast quantities - don't waste it).

BBoyShotty, great job! glad you stuck with it and gave it another go.

Also, KushBrothers, interesting technique and use of 'blood flow' additive (Cayenne pepper), I've also used v small quantities of Turmeric to good effect and have read of quite a few others that people have used (I'm still experimenting with those).

Hi Xitek420, I've got a couple of different slow cookers that I use (I'll see if I can find the name of the make), though they're pretty much 'bog standard', nothing special or unusual. To be certain of the temps the best investment is an oven thermometer (available on ebay and most cookery shops), shouldn't cost more than £5/$8 and will stop you under/over cooking the THC.

One additional point, I've run various 'side-by-side' tests over the last year or so and think it's worth mentioning that when making larger quantities of oil and bud (i.e. 50ml or more of oil) you'll get better results if you extend the cooking time by about an hour and add an extra stir or two.

Hope that helps. Good luck and happy baking. :thumbsup:

my local collective sells capsules with keif inside capsules and another patient has informed me that they do indeed work

However, I still think that when they are infused with oil they will most likely work better

Hi Revanche21, interesting info, and a new one for me. I've never come across anyone having much success just eating 'raw' THC, let alone a collective promoting it. Is it just untreated 'raw' keif in their capsules, or do you know if its been altered in some way first (or other ingredients added)?

The theory, as I understand it, is that it is physically possible for the human metabolism to digest a small percentage of unextracted THC, simply by osmosis, i.e. naturally occurring lipids and other triglycerides in the digestive system breaking down and emulsifying a small amounts of the THC and therefore allowing it to be absorbed into the bloodstream. But in practice, I've only read of a few recorded cases where its happened, and usually only where very large amounts were consumed.

I wouldn't have thought it would have been practical (or economically viable) to consume (or market) it that way, but I'm always open to new ideas.
As you've already said, extracting it into oil would seem a much more efficient process.
