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

Yeah, it kind of seems like it. Maybe there are just certain types of bud that extract easier than others, or some people absorb it better through the stomach, or something like that...cause I don't know what else we could have done wrong!

I'll probably try them in the oven tomorrow. I want this to work so badly, because if it can help us save that would be SO good for us. I haven't given up yet!

Time to smoke a few bong bowls and get ripped for the night. :thumbsup::stoned:

I very firmly believe there is a combo for almost everyone. The trick is finding it.

Good luck.

I see people are substituting the Coconut oil for other alternatives. What are some good alternatives?

Olive Oil was mentioned. Does it need to be a specific type?

I said f it and decided to try "my combo" and see what happens.

I am missing coconut oil so I tried to substitute for butter.

Also, I had no coffee grinder so I hand ground my herb two or three times to get it as fine as I could.

I put 3 medium spoons of melted butter into a dish with two spoons of herb.

Next part of my story is my stupid crock(ofshit) pot. It has two settings: "Warm" & "Cook". However, it does not stay on "cook" for extended periods of time. Also to make this even more interesting was I had no thermometer. Oops.


In the end, my substance settled with a liquidy butter on top and a sandy substance at the bottom. I used a syringe best I could and put it into the capsules. I made two types of capsules. One with lots of oil and one with lots of the sandy stuff. I made a couple of a 5050 mix.

So my first test was at 5:00PM pst (3 hours ago) and I do not feel much. There were a few moments maybe an hour to an hour and a half ago that I felt slightly buzzing but I was not definite. I would blame that on placebo more than anything? (after reading 17 pages in this thread, that is a fairly common feeling lol)

Now, as I mentioned I have two types of pills. One sandy and one oily. Should I go ahead and pop two of the oily's??


Can I just leak them on to a spoon and drink it or should I try to heat it up more. Oh also, I heated it for 2.5 hours at the hottest temp which wasn't excruciating hot to the touch so I figured it was medium-ish... ha ha

Well....a friend of ours tried out two of the caps, and he was knocked on his ass for the whole afternoon on Saturday, apparently. So I guess they are working, and maybe we just need to up our dosage due to our use or their size or the amount of oil or something like that.

Definitely confirms that I am going to keep working on finding the right method and combo of everything for me. :thumbsup:

So I discovered that if you're tollerance is too high, you might not be feeling the full effects of your capsules.


I smoke 2: 0.5 gram bongs every day when I wake up to just be kinda high.


So like... I should take a break, cause my tollerance is as high as Jesus' just for different stuff.

[Weedhound]

I don't know you guys I consider myself pretty tolerant but as long as I grow a couple (two or three) different kinds and switch around.....I get quite wiped off 4 capsules....even after taking them for awhile.

Vilo...that would REALLY piss me off if I made caps and everyone else got high off them but not me. :wtf:

[robbyg]

I am going to try 4 pills today. 2 oily and 2 sandy. My problem might be 2.5 hours was not enough time in the crock pot. I stirred twice. My crockpot was on the low setting not sure if this was hot enough.

Will check tonight with a temp monitor.

Hey people, I am now the proud owner of a candy thermometer. It cost $5.

[Weedhound]

Buy two rich man.....keep one around just for show...

[vileoxidation]

Vilo...that would REALLY piss me off if I made caps and everyone else got high off them but not me. :wtf:

Yeah it made me pretty angry...I don't know what to do about it, because I really feel like they weren't quite made right, so they only offered me a very slight stone, and the only reason it kicked his ass is because he only smokes a couple of times a week. But if I keep making them and, once again, they work for other people but not for me....things might get ugly. :rambohead:

So I don't know if I should attempt it again...if its just gonna piss me off, probably not, and I don't know if there is still hope for it to work. We picked up some Bubba Kush today, and I would love for them to work using that bud....but I don't want them to not work and have wasted some amazing shit.
