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

[grinmore]

Just a thought...would it be the same to use honey oil inside the caps instead?

ie. using alcohol as a solvent for the thc >
stoop/shake/soak the powdered material the way you prefer to in the alcohol > straining out the residue, then boil down to evaporate the alcohol >
then using the final product within the capsules?

and would this make each cap more potent?

i've read all the pages in this thread, but cant exactly recall if this has been mentioned before...sorry if it has hehe:stoned:

â?¢ The ultimate stealth â??medicationâ??.
â?¢ Highly concentrated form of THC
â?¢ Requires only very small amounts of bud.
â?¢ Great for stealth cooking as the low heat creates virtually no smell.
â?¢ Extremely potent due to the type of saturated fats used.
â?¢ Simpler to make and keep than a firecracker.
â?¢ Incredibly cheap
â?¢ Theyâ??ll blow your tits off â?? Guaranteed!


N.B: Effects will start to â??kick inâ?? after about an hour and a half, and last for around six to eight hours (depending on how many you took). Should you begin to feel overwhelmed you can shorten the â??tripâ?? and reduce its effects by eating sugary foods, or drinking fruit juices rich in vitamin C.


For those people who give it a try, Iâ??d love to hear how you get on.
Hopefully, you can keep this thread alive by posting up your experiences so everyone will get a chance to see them.
Oh yes, and it took me a while to write all this up, so a sticky or any rep donations gratefully accepted lol.

Cheers and enjoy

I made my first batch exactly to directions but they did not work. I am unsure as to what i did wrong. I'm going to make another batch and try again

[begginerblazer]

Wow i love this thread, i cant wait to make these. i just ordered my coconut oil and my capsules, ill try it out as soon as they come in the mail and see how it goes

[guerrillagrow]

made my second batch last night. the first batch didn't pan out too well, not a total loss, just not a strong.

last night used 3g maui/kush. 2 1/2 ts coconut oil. and used a ramekin to simmer the goods in a cheap crock that only goes to 250degrees. definite change in color for the caps from light green to almost olive. simmered for 1 1/2-2 hours and test fired them today. first batch i only simmered for around 30 minutes, they're really weak but they'll work in a pinch.

found that 1 cap every 4 or so hours is doing the trick.

not sure the effects of more than that, but they're the new preferred medicating method. i can tell from the strength of just one that multiple caps will blow my socks off.

Hey guys quick question.
I have the rival 5025-WG crock pot and im not sure if the temperature gets high enough to work with this recipe and i was just wondering how/where i could find out what the actually temperature that it cooks at is

[Flameon]

Hi begginerblazer

Crock pots as a general rule seldom advertise their higher and lower temperature ranges due to the standardised nature of how they operate.
i.e. They're designed to 'slow cook' foods (stews, casseroles etc) at just below boiling point.
Therefore, the assumption is a typical temperature is about 100 degrees Centigrade or 212 Fahrenheit.

I looked up the model you list (the Rival 5025-WG), and you'll be just fine with that.
Remember though that under normal operating conditions the crock pot is usually 'filled' with liquid, vegetables, meats etc, and so when we cook with just oil in them they can get a little too hot on the 'High' setting.
I would expect a model like this one to creep as high as 150 centigrade or 300fahrenheit, so my advice would be to use the 'high setting' for about an hour to get it started before switching down to 'low' for about one and a half to two hours (assuming of course that you don't own an oven thermometer in order to monitor the temperature). Overheating the THC will reduce the potency as it causes it to vaporize.

Anyhow, good luck and come back to let us know how you get on or if you have any other questions.
Cheers flameon :thumbsup:

Hi weedhound

A typical slow cooker operates at 80°C (176°F) on low, to 90°C (194°F) on high. I'd be surprised if your 'high setting' was over this temperature by more than 5°C. So you should be fine.

Wow... It looks like the different brands vary. I tested a small oval shaped one I had {to use as a polymer clay "oven" }; and it showed 300F on an oven thermometer. I would say each different slow cooker should be checked to see what is the hottest it gets just to be safe.:thumbsup:
You are my hero Flameon! TY!

Hi Pamstoner and thanks for the input and kind words

That's good advice and well worth checking out. Oven thermometers can be bought for only a few dollars/pounds and are a sound investment for anyone thinking of taking up canna-cooking (You'll see a return the first time you use one in as it'll save you under/over cooking your weed).

If you read through the post directly above you'll see a more detailed explanation of: why and what causes the temperature ranges to differ as much as they do between models.

The following, short (abridged) answer however, is good for most (particularly small) crock pots that are running with just an oil and weed mix in them:

I would expect a model like this one to creep as high as 150 centigrade or 300fahrenheit, so my advice would be to use the 'high setting' for about an hour to get it started before switching down to 'low' for about one and a half to two hours

ok so i tried the recipe following ur advice abd they didnt really work, not quite sure what i did wrong maybe someone could help.
i used 1.0 gram of bud grinded with a chromium crusher
1.5 tsp of coconut oil (1.0 didnt look like enough to cover all the bud)
i put it in my crockpot, put it on high for an hour, mixed it, than switched it to low for an hour and a half, mixed it twice while on low i think
never really tried anything like this before so sorry if its an obvious mistake

[lispeezy]

Damn its been a while since i last visited these forums, lol. Well the first time i've attempted this experiment was this past spring break. My dood and I used purple haze lol!! Too bad we didn't have a coffee grinder or it wouldve been crazy!! cause this motherfucker was throwing up when I called him on my way home hahaha.(his twin picked up and was like DOOOOOD WHATD U DOOO!!)

Well this time im gonna have a coffee grinder and use sour diesel. I'm just wondering, should i put the weed in the oven to activate more thc? (if so, what temperature? and how long?) or is it strong enough already? lawlllll
