I just did a quick calculation (but you'd best check my figures, as it's past my bedtime lol). If you take 25 grams of weed and divide it by 1.5 grams (the amount needed for twelve capsules) you get roughly 16 and 1/2 portions. Making a total of about 198 capsules. you lucky dog! 7 grams of oil per 12 capsules means you'll need about 115 grams in total. One tablespoon is approx 15 grams, so I think you'll need about 7 and an half tablespoons of oil in total. Phew, my brain needs rest. Damn this short term memory loss lol. Hope this helps and good luck with it, the only thing I would watch out for are the serrated leaves in the mix, they can contain microscopic thorns that can irritate the stomach. Cheers flame

P.S. For those kind of quantities you might find something like these useful.

Ok a little update. I will try and reply to the rest of this when Im not so stoned. I took 1 cap at 5:45pm its 7:45 and flyin! As for the mixture: u said in post # 36 Take your 3.5 - 4 grams of finely ground bud, and mix it with 15 grams (three level teaspoons) of: ideally coconut oil, but clarified butter will be fine (see how to make your own in this thread) and simmer it as per the instructions for two hours. The oil and bud is exactly enough for 24 capsules. anyway maybe im reading it wrong. I will tell you tomm. lol

Finally got our capsules and coconut oil and are in the process of trying this right now.
What we used: 2 g of ground mid quality bud 1 tablespoon of coconut oil One question, want to make sure we're doing this right, we've put the crock pot on low and placed the coffee cup with the coconut oil in there with the lid on the pot, for now we are letting the oil melt completely and then adding the bud after it has fully become a liquid, is this the correct starting method to let the oil completely solidify? ( my guess is yes but it doesn't hurt to ask  )Anyways, still waiting on the oil to melt and then we'll add the bud and let simmer for 2 full hours. (It took roughly 5 to 10 minutes to let it completely melt.) Ok just put the bud in. Another question, is 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in melted form equal to the same amount in the soft/hard form that you scoop out of the jar? (We're not very knowledgeable when it comes to cooking  ) Anyways it's now simmering and we'll post later about how it turns out and how we turn out.

Simmering is done and I'm letting it sit in the fridge to cool off. Question to both Flameon and Weedhound (I know I saw something similar here before but not too sure on this): the left over bud residue, I understand to keep it and put it in the capsules, but can it be mixed and eaten with the playdoh balls or should I try to keep it to a minimum amount of residue within the hardened coconut oil ball things? Right now there is hardly any shake type bud in the oil, but there is still some in there. Other than that this went really smoothly and we can't wait to try this!
Thanks to Flameon, Weedhound and everyone else that has already experimented with this capsule/playdoh ball idea! Also sorry if we've repeated things already said we're just worried whether its going to turn out ok or not.

Well my hubby calls them "blobs" but i try to spread everything evenly on the plate both with the residue and the oil (as Flame said...let the oil cool somewhat and it will be more pliable) but grab it before it REALLY hardens. I mentioned to someone that it somewhat has the texture of really soft candle wax or something.
I'm thinking something along the line of a smaller and even shallow dish to pour the mixture in so it will pretty much spread itself evenly and then cut with a knife. I'm still WAY experimenting with that part so if you have another idea....go for it!! Have fun...

I want to make sure that we are talking about the same residue. The stuff I'm thinking is the left over ground bud. I've read somewhere eating weed like that can make you really sick, so we'll try it with just the oil and see how that works.
Thanks again

By the way, the confusion re the amount of oil is at my end, not yours. With you saying you were going to be using 5 grams I just assumed you were thinking of making 36 capsules not 24, that's why I suggested the extra 7 grams of oil. Holy cow! I just remembered you packed all that into just 12 capsules, wow, even without the residue it's no wonder you only needed one!  Good job and happy 'landings' P.S. Would love to hear what sort of 'experience' you had, ie. any: time distortion, intensity of visual or hearing abilities, munchies etc. Also, forgot to ask how long did you simmer for?

Hi DSOTM420

The alternative, is to do exactly what your doing. Dont strain the oil, just pour it onto a small dish, put it in the fridge and wait for it to set. weedhound's description is spot on! It's just like candlewax when hard Once it's 'firm' enough you can divide it into small 'pellets' to pop into your capsules. Job done! Quote:
I'm looking forward to hearing how you got on.

Remember, 7 grams of oil (one and a half teaspoons) mixed with 1.5 or 2 grams of ground bud when simmered together will give you (more or less) the right amount of volume to fill 12 capsules (pro-rata). If you don't include (or strain out) the residue, you'll end up with slightly less. Quote:
But, if you're not sure, try some with, and some without to test your reactions. i.e did it give you a stomach ache, did you get higher and for longer etc? It's worth noting that this isn't just something that applies to capsules, but actually making anything using the fan leaves etc can give some people a stomach ache. The only times it's happened to me have had more to do with the quantities of crisps, coke and chocolate I 'crammed' down when I had the munchies lol Let us know how it went Cheers flame

I couldnt remember where I put my cigs. so I couldn't smoke all night lol. By 10:30 I was starting to get soo messed up I was seeing trails. Yes like I was begining a trip of acid. I am going to call that the peek. By 11 i was extremly tired like I couldnt keep my eyes open so I figured I was at the start of coming down. For the next hr I felt a total state of relaxation come over my muscles. Not like normal eating a brownie or 2. To the point where when I lifted my arm it was so relaxed that it almost felt like not much was holding my joints together lol. At this point if I touched my skin it had an feeling of ectacsy. By about 12:30 I just couldn't stay up anymore. I only got 4 hrs of sleep the night before so im sure that had something to do with it. But on the other hand by about 10:30 I felt like going to sleep as usually if I smoke too much I just crash but I made myself stay up to see what else was coming. Ok what I used was 3.5 grams of high end exotic bud. 1 gram of left overs from the vaporizer and .5 of keif. lol it was really strong considering I filled the capsules with pure oil. And heres what I did to make them a little stronger. I drilled a piece of wood with 24 holes but shallow. I placed the tops and bottomsthe holes to fill them in . I filled the bottoms all the way to the top. And then filled the tip of the tops. I places the wood into the frezer for about 10 mins and then put them together.

Holy cow !!
 And you've got 11 more of those babies to go lol I never even thought about filling the tops as well as the bottoms - that's sheer genius Oh yes, and the relaxation, touch to the skin feeling like ecstacy thing. Might I suggest inviting a 'friend' to enjoy this experience with you on a future occasion. flame winks at the screen and nudges the computer with his elbow Trust me on this lol Great job zero

Well so far we each took one at 12:35pm and my husband felt high by 2:15pm. I did not feel high but rather very relaxed and could have fallen asleep easily. So we decided to each take another and are currently waiting to see how we feel. So far here is a indepth look at how each of us feel: my husband noted: - lack of focus on anything - things feel father away and it is a big deal to reach for them - excellent pain killer - had his wisdom teeth out last week and said that these killed the pain and were much better than vicodin es, which caused him to get extremely nauseated for the past few days, but with the capsules he said there is absolutely no nausea right now - says it's really hard to play the drum part to RockBand on the easy mode I've noted: |
) to make the caps. I was wondering how much coconut oil to use. Before I've used enough olive to cover the ground bud and make it into a paste (about .48 tablespoons per gram I read somewhere).
