Here is the problem,my stomach was very very upset and if I wasnt so blasted probably would have been very uncomfortable to the point of having a great deal of discomfort.I did eat with the first two and then got the munchies before I took the third.My capsules are essentially my butter recipe (12 cups weed,10-12 cups of water,2 lbs of organic butter).Any thoughts or ideas?If I am going to have problems I usually get heart burn pretty bad sometimes,but I didnt with this,just a really upset stomach,upset and painful almost.Take care,be well,and most of all be safe.
Hi Charles, your reaction time sounds just like mine so I'm guessing were of a similar build.
I can predict almost to the minute when the effects start after I've taken these capsules. It's always about an hour and a half, so you possibly 'jumped-the-gun' by about 15 minutes with the third capsule, but it's all a learning process.

However, I don't think that was the cause of your upset stomach though.
I had a similar experience to yours once when making capsules from dried bud.
I mistakenly used some of smaller 'pointed' leaves in the mix, and although I thought they'd be OK I found out later that they're covered in microscopic thorns that can survive the 'grinding' process. These 'thorns' can irritate the stomach lining causing cramp and diarrhea. (particularly if the stomach doesn't have much in it).

I'm guessing, but this might be the cause of the discomfort you encountered. Your canna butter recipe sounds bang on, and clearly the THC extraction worked great.
Two things I was wondering, do you strain the weed out in your recipe, and how do you normally take it, i.e. cakes, biscuits etc?

Hope your feeling better now. Cheers flame.

P.S. I just thought, my own experience has been never to eat anything until the reaction starts to peak (around 4 or 5 hours after swallowing), as on the few times I've done that, I have had an occasional stomach ache as well. I'm not sure what the cause of this might be, maybe the THC effects a slow down of the digestive system? I'll go and see if I can find anything on the net. Anyone else come across this?
