[Rock.Steady]

seems to me your events happened too fast.

you need to simmer many (3+++)hours, unless i missed somethin in your posts, it doesnt seem like you did.
my best results have been simmered overnight+

No I let it cook for 4 hours back and forth between high for a few hours then low. I went out and bought a thermometer toady. Im trying a single dose batch now. 1/2 teaspoon to .5 gram herb. Crockpot is warminig up now. Ill report back later tonight. imp:

Im getting ready to pull of this batch now. It has cooked now for 6 hours on high (approx 200F)

and? Anything?

[umpnum14]

Unfortunatly no. :-( I let it cook long enough. I only used 5ml or 1/2 teaspoon of oil to .5 grams of finely almost powder ganja. I put that in a tea candle tin in the crockpot and monitored the temp Are for as I can tell it never got above. 210. I then took the oil let it cool and placed in the fridge to harden. Them took it back out a few min later cut it up into pieces and placed that into the capsules. (Oil weed and all) It made two full caps. Took them both and nothing. I am guessing the crockpot isnt getting the oil hot enough to extract the thc. Once I figure out the right temp Il try it again using the small amount method untill i succeed.

4. The weed. Its a vital ingredient why wouldn't the quality matter?

The quality you start with will have a tremendous effect on the end results.

We all know that you cant just eat weed alone and get high. The THC has to be activated or released via heat /alcohol.

I am assuming that we all know because they told us so.


I have heard this same line since I started smoking in 1970 and just my own opinion on the matter is that once upon a time the weed was so less potent than it is today that eating it raw was a waste of time and herb but that today's weed is so much stronger that raw consumption is a viable alternative.

While I do not believe that raw consumption is as efficient as eating foods made with fats (canna butter/oil) that have had thc diffused into them.
It is a form of delivery that I find quite enjoyable. Similar to many peoples first few smoking experiences it took a few times before I learned to recognize the high and assorted factors that contribute to success.

1) Just like tinctures and capsules, the drier the weed I start with the better the results.

2) Like other edibles it helps to have my stomach as empty as possible when I consume raw weed.

3) If I don't supplement it with smoking the very pleasant but subtle effects can last for several hours with very little if any crash as compared to smoking.
A great way to keep a low key, functional buzz going when I am around non smoking relatives at holidays.

4) My favorite method of delivery is to stir raw (cleaned of all stems and seeds) weed in to a small cup of yogurt and eat it as part of a morning of wake and bake. I walk the dog to some woods about 1/2 mile from my house and can usually feel something starting to happen within 15-20 minutes and full effects at 1.5-2 hrs. Smoking at this point allows each delivery method to really complement each other.

The THC has to be activated or released via heat /alcohol.

Could you please explain activated THC? If we all know this, how exactly does it work? It was my own inability to explain this concept and a fair amount of personal experimentation that led to believe that they don't know what they are talking about because they have never tried it.

OK Im on my last attempt at this with a Crock-pot. My two previous attempts were with larger crockpots and using different containers to hold the oil/herb mix. This time i went to wal-mart and bought a 2 qt classic rival crock-pot for $10. I also bought a glass shot glass. I took it home plugged it in and placed it on high and placed a teaspoon of oil in the shot glass and placed that in the center of the cooker for an hour (lid on) I came back an hour later and checked the temp and it was over 230 so i put it back down to low and it is maintaining at 220. After an the oil was at 220 for a few min I placed about 1.3 grams of flour consistency herbs in the oil. It looks thicker this time but i dont know if thats the shap of the glass or simply the mix. Anyway I used 2.3 grams to make the 1.3 grams of powder and had .7 left over that i can use in my vape to get a decent buzz.
So ok its 2:30 my time and ill be going to work soon. I should be home around 10:30. Shouldn't 8 hrs at 220 be sufficient to make this succeed? Or should I just let it keep cooking till tomorrow? Or is this too much time? WH help!!!
220 what is the approximate slow cook time?
Thanksimp:
