Hi guys

Some great input, questions and answers here, good job! :thumbsup:

That's a good point. One of the difficulties with canna cooking is wide variance in THC strength from one bag of bud to another.
The way it's calculated is to provide as close to a standard dose amount as possible without (hopefully) making it too complicated.
As a rule of thumb, most half decent bud will have somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of THC.
With hash and kief (but not soap bar) the amount is generally somewhere between 15 and 25.
So hopefully, the use of an additional 50 percent of bud (stems and seeds removed as they just add weight and dilute the overall THC content) will (mostly) give a similar THC percentage.

I couldn't have said it better! Whenever you expose weed to high temperatures, even for short periods (i.e. in a microwave), you end up with quite a strong smell (due to vaporising the terpenoids, THC, CBD), which not only 'give the game away' as to what you're up to, but is slowly loses you potency all the while.
The crock pot temperature is below the THC vaporisation point (so no worries there), and the immersion of weed in the oil, helps prevent the odours escaping and traps the active ingredients.

Lol! I know that one.
The time to really worry is when you actually 'think' your in the TV! Also, is it just me or do they seem to get so much louder?

I'm lovin' the 'first-hand' user experience reports, it really helps to 'fine tune' the process, and gives 'first-timers' a hand in getting started.

P.S. Good luck with caps Klondike (8 from a gram should be bang on).
P.P.S. Aliigetshyphy 54 oz of coconut oil for $22, holy cow that's great value!
You could start a production line with that that amount lol.
If it helps the 'use by' date is generally a couple of years or more.
