lunarose Reviewed by lunarose on . Cannabis Capsules â?? A step-by-step guide. Part 1 - Acknowledgements and thanks. Iâ??d like to begin with a big thank you to weedhound and sickpup45 who inspired me to experiment with Cannabis Capsules in the first place, and to Opie Yutts who â??nudgedâ?? me into writing this â??step-by-stepâ?? tutorial for the forums. Cheers guys! Secondly, Iâ??ve tried to keep this guide as simple as possible, but, as the box says â??Some assembly is requiredâ??, and therefore, this guide might not be suitable for everyone. It needs some Rating: 5
