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
