Finally DID IT!!! Made my first rso with Jack Herer. I fretted for a year over absolutely nothing. I read and read and watched videos and read of some stoners burning themselves while handling the rice cooker. Had healthy fears and anxiety. Took all precautions and had a few fire extinguishers handy. Didn't lick my fingers or anything until the 'clean-up' Clean Up was the 'fun' part.

Slept the best I have in 2 years. I had tried several oils last year and noting the big 'Difference' in the oils and my effects, I knew there was a big difference. With the urging Of GrowGoddess of "Making Your Own Oil" ...Absolutely make your OWN oil, even with purchased buds. Do your homework first. I watched the video many times and read and re-read this thread and any I could find on this topic, everywhere.

Definitely make your own.

A bigger problem is getting the correct solvent in California. Naptha is no longer allowed here and a Industrial Maintenance Coating and Thinner with absolute no listed chemical name on the container, not even for poison control. The coating was what tossed me for a spin, so I passed on that. Went to Wal-Mart for syringes and iso, nope...only 70% and nothing behind the counter--probably new rules in California too! So the liquor store I went---Everclear 151 that was all I could find.. Pretty tough day. Most liquor stores only had pint bottles and I passed on that. Finally went to the 'local' liquor store and he made me a "Deal"---yes, I asked for a really GOOD Bargain deal at retail store with clearly marked prices! So he pops up with, I own 3 other liquor stores in the area and we drove to all of them and acquired the liquor including rum 151 and everclear. I can clearly see solvents as being a MAJOR ISSUE in the state of California and that was most likely the PROBLEM I discovered from different caretakers oils. And as per a previous post here is most likely WHY the naptha based oil made the BIGGEST difference from all the oils I had used and the reason I quit all oil an waiting to do it myself. Noting that in subsequent conversations with the person that made the naptha based oil had switched to vodka; now, I know why--no Naptha in Calif.

I put Half and Half cream in my rice cooker and let it boil the extra med off the sides and bottom of the rice cooker. I made some coffee and used it about 4 hours ago...the effects just comes in waves and I am more couchlocked than ever, from the 'clean-up'

Having a "PainFree" day in Southern Calif. an too stoned!!! i'll be looking for High CBD mixtures--no doubt, I cannot function on the cannacream alone!:tin foil hat:, about to see alien.:thumbsup: pr
