The Hounds' Cannabis Capsule Guide with Flame-On's Recipe

[Weedhound]

Hi Umpum,
Actually I'm not going to be much help here but I'll share what I have tried and what works best for me. I must say I've never tried Cannabrex but I will give it a try; always looking for improvements.

As I mentioned in a previous post; There is (probably tons) of different ways to cook cannabis. I used to use the recipe that sickpup45 used (post # 166) but it took alot more weed to get to the same place that 4-5 capsules do n ow. And I've been using capsules for years.......don't really smoke anymore PLUS I think slow cooking overnight has had the best result for me.
(in crockpot....temps approx 225F.)

1. I have done this method and it worked fine......just the standing there with it was a real pain in the ass. Should work though.

2 Temp to use for cooking is different according to....well....everyone but the 220F overnighs best for me and no burning of the thc...which DID happen when I used sickpup's recipe.

3. Never tried with vaped weed but a friend of mine did and said it worked great
We grind it down with a metal cooking strainer. I've never tried grinding out more than that so can't say if it would help more.

4. For me, higher temps but shorter cooking time did not work out as well for me as the slow cook method and in the finished product.

Sorry weedhound I vape and spend a bit of time in the vape borads. ABV is "Already been vaped" weed
Thanks so much for ur help. I just got my Coconut oil from GNC. My caps should be in today. I just jot to find a freaking thermometer at the store thats not a meat thermometer. I cant wait to try. In regards to to slow cook method I am guessing that its the best option as well. What could it hurt to cook the extra time if the thc isnt being lost.
Thanks again Weed Ill post my results soon

Weed In regards to the ABV question. If I understand right one of the reasons the u cant just swallow weed is the thc has to be activated by heat. Well when you vape weed you certainly add a little heat so doesnt logic state that since a got some empty capsules, a quick cap filler some abv I could just fill them up and take them? just a thought

We dont vape so cant answer yay or nay there; sorry. Anyone else tried it and if so your experiences?? ump, if you try it yourselff can you let us know how it went for you? Thanks for the new ideas.

Hi, I haven't tried it but I have heard that you need something like the oil for you to be able to fully absorb the THC.

[cannabrex]

Did you just follow the cannabrex user guide? or just use their supplies in combination with a slow cooker?

Its basically mixing the THC with their supplied oil in their "Decarboxylation" chamber (aka a glass jar with a lid) and then putting that in water, bringing it to a boil and then putting it on medium/low for 30 minutes.

I kinda think that the jar idea idea is a good plan, kinda creating just one more barrier to trap the THC in. I'm thinking of just ordering the refills cannabrex offers and then just using my own supplies for the other stuff (ie capsule machine, capsules, spatula, "Decarboxylation" chamber).

MacMerdin:
Thanks for trying it out, and we are glad you are benefitting from the system.

pyratskull:
You can just get the refills if you already have the other equipment. But if you don't- it is a pretty good deal...

If anyone has any questions . . . I am around . . .

Ill be trying it this weekend:thumbsup::thumbsup: ill let you know soon. In regards to the oil yes the thc has to bond with it (the reason margarine doesnt work) but thats with bud before the thc has been activated/released. (edjucated(grin) guess) Ill do it if it works ill fill you in abd start a new thread on it and post the link to it. Thanks again weed.

my turn to contribute

have now tried this 4 times.

the combination which works best so far was the latest.

-1.5g of keef
-3.5g of prime nug (white widow) (3 stage ground, see below)
-3.5 teaspoons clarified butter
-crockpot, low setting, lid vented 3/4 in and small towel on top.
-temps approx 220-250F
-approx 20-24 hrs simmer
-yield, 20 caps.


I use what I call a 3-stage grinding process.
I have a standard grinder w keef screen that i use first.
I have a compact, no-screen, single chamber grinder that I re-grind the first batch with.
I then take that and put it in a tea strainer and hand grind it thru the screen with a tablespoon.
This leaves me with a thimble-worth of tiny sticks which i toss out.
This also leaves me with a finely ground powder almost the same grit/texture as the keef I then combine with it and mix well before adding to the clarified butter.

unbiased and objective reviews are difficult for me personally due to my daily smoking intake, LOL. But, when I took 2 I had a nice buzz for most of the night.
Personally, I use them as maintenance. 1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch, with occassional trips outside with my 1-hitter. When I go home, I smoke most of the night. Basically, I've been pleased with my days:thumbsup:
I gave 2 to a friend and he said they lasted for 5 hours and were fantastic when taken together. Then he asked for more
I guess that means they are pretty good.:smokin:

I do plan on making another larger batch after I get another batch o nugzimp:
