Hi guys, how's it going?

 All good tips.Quote:
Fingers crossed that they work out well for you. One small word of caution though. 0.6 grams of bud into 3 will give you 0.2 per capsule, which is a fair sized dose. I don't know how potent your weed is, but I would probably suggest taking one the first time to see how you get on. I know it might not sound like much (especially when compared to smoking), but taking 0.4 of weed in this method can tip you over the edge. (see Gorlax's next post lol). At the very least you'll be 'nailed' to the couch visiting 'Shamanic Hippy' land for a good few hours! lol Quote:
I hope you're feeling ok this morning. I'm familiar with how intense that amount can be. For me, I know I've taken too much when music becomes so 'vibrant' that I have to shut my eyes to listen. You don't just hear it, you 'feel it' vibrate through your body in multi-coloured waves lol. Nice job, but perhaps only 3 next time?  Cheers Flame

Hi Flame,
Just passing through. Wanted to let you know that you were absolutely right about my issues with getting stuff in the capsules....i didn't let things cool enough to work with correctly but have gotten it down now and it isn't hard at all! I've also found that putting them in capsules does make things much more consistent when I take them....making dosages much easier to work with.

Hey Weedhound, good to hear from you!
I've just 'popped' a couple myself in readiness for a euphoric Saturday night, and I'm about 45 minutes away from hilarity, horniness and hunger. In that order! lol Glad you cracked the filling process. You can't beat opening the fridge door to see them all lined up in little rows. Bless 'em. I'm like a proud father (who eats his young). Anyhow, have a good one and I'll catch up with you when I'm making more sense. lol Cheers Flame

O yeh ontop of my 4 caps I took prior to it actually kicking in I smoked about 15-20 bowls from bubbler. Then once my pills kicked in I was tripping really bad and almost passed out because I felt soo messed up. But I held my shit together and it soon slowly became more better. What Kicked my pills in was a nice meal at mcdonalds. I believe you need to eat something like that for the pills to take full effect because I really didnt feel much of the pilll until I ate and it was insane after that.!!! I mean fucking insane! Damnnnn Glad im feeling much better this morning thats a story to tell hhaha

So I made this recipe up last night, and I have some questions because things didnt go quite as I expected.
Here is what I had for materials 1 Large Crockpot 1 Small metal shotglass 3.5g Weed (mid) 14g Ghee(homemade) Now, I think I know what some of the problems were, but I want to bounce it against you guys and see what you think. I followed the instructions on cooking time, and how to make ghee, had no probelms with either part of that. The first thing I can think of that might have been a problem was that the weed wasnt powdered. It was ground up pretty good, but no where near a powder state. Secondly, I didnt microwave/oven the weed to "activate" it before putting it in the mixture. Being mid quality weed, I have a feeling that was a large part of the problem. One thing I thought was odd, is that the weed never really boiled down inside the container throughout the process. When I emptied the container out, there was the same amount of oil, but tbh there was way more weed then oil in the glass. I am wondering if turning the weed into powder would make a difference with that. I cooked the mixture on Low on the crockpot for a little over 2 hours, and the color of the oil changed, and the smell of cooking weed was evident, but only if you sniffed inside the crockpot, it didnt fill the room or anything. I couldnt get empty pill casings at the time, so we just were going to eat teh stuff raw after it solidified. I cut it up into 12 peices, so each peice was 2 doses. This morning, after having a peice of bread and a peice of sausage, I took 3 peices of the mixture, or what should have been around 6 doses total. I didnt feel all that much, at all, some slight time distortion, but I have that even when I am not high. I took one peice(2 doses) last night after smoking some, and I had a really strong feeling of euphoria, like everything was awesome and right in the world, and I felt no pain at all. Everyone else who was with me who took the same amount said the same thing, but I cant say for sure if it wasnt placebo effect or not. Anything that stands out as being the main problem? Im thinking I need to activate the weed next time, and try to get it ground up finer, but does anything else seem like it might be the problem?

So, after getting pissed at not being able to make GD, I decided to give this a go. I don't have a crockpot, but living alone is nice so I got to take some pics.
I used about 5g of schwag...total shit...only after "activating" it do I get a slight buzz from one j smoked by myself, a small shot glass full of homemade (by me) clarified butter , a small pan (in lieu of a glass mixing bowl) and a big ass pot. Here are 3 pics, pretty self explanatory. My camera's pretty shit though since it's a mobile phone, so res kinda sux. 1st pic is just after I put the butter and ganja in the small pan inside the pot, then the final result unstrained, then what I strained onto a plate (can't be bothered with capsules right now.) According to my scale, the end result was 3g (I weighed the plate empty, then added the canna-butter), I took 2/3rds of that on a piece of bread aprox 50 minutes ago.

Hi guys and welcome to the thread FlyGuyOU, imitator and Dark.
Also, a big thank you to everyone else who's taken the time to contribute or add a comment or two (hey, we got ourselves a 'sticky' now - Woohoo!). FlyGuyOU - I hope it worked out OK for you, if you're passing this way again, drop us a report on how it went. imitator - Mids can be notoriously difficult to get right due to the wide variance in THC strength, so don't beat yourself up if it didn't go exactly to plan the first time. Activating your weed does help, but isn't absolutely essential in this recipe (unlike Green Dragon where you must do it). I've noticed there's a bit of confusion regarding how to correctly 'activate' your weed on these boards, so I thought I'd 'chip in' with a couple of things. Firstly, 'activating' your weed refers to the process of converting some of the non-psychoactive compounds like CBG and THC-A into active THC. Much of this will have happened naturally to your weed assuming you're using well cured and dried bud. However, it is possible to increase the potency over a much shorter period of time by applying a little additional heat. Secondly, for some reason, the method that appears to be most frequently repeated on the boards is inaccurate. N.B. I'm referring to the various posts that suggest you put weed into an oven set to around 325 fahrenheit. It's important to bear in mind that the point at which THC starts to evaporate is actually about 285 degrees F, therefore, at 325 you're potentially losing more than your creating. Remember if the kitchen smells strongly of weed, chances are it's vaporised THC (anything from 180 to 285 is fine though). Thirdly, grinding up your bud into powdered form really helps in releasing the THC from the resin heads into the oil, it also means you can use/consume the residue without sifting (you won't lose a drop). Lastly, it's important to make sure your weed is immersed in the oil, as it will act as a barrier trapping the THC and preventing any loss of potency. Therefore, it's better to use a narrow container like an egg-cup, espresso mug (stainless steel shot glass) etc. i.e. something that doesn't have a wide surface area. Hope that helps a bit! Many thanks and keep up the good work Flame P.S. OZO have you had a chance to give it a try yet?

Ty Flame, nice to be here
 I do have one question regarding your last post. Quote:
As for me, I didn't really feel much from the butter I made, but that means nothing given that my weed is shit. In all fairness, the guy sold me about 30grams for 15 Euros. I thought it was a good deal since I'd be cooking with it. apparently not )

Thanks for the info Flame.
I dont usually put my weed into the oven unless I am doing large quantities, otherwise I stick to the microwave, which has never failed me. I will try the recipe again with some high quality weed, and see what comes of it from there, Ill make sure to post my results once I make another batch.

Yeah, you'll find more info if you try a 'THC Vaporisation point' search. The companies that make 'vaporizers' for example, tend to provide a fairly comprehensive break down of the differing temperature ranges and what happens to the terpenoids, CBD, CBG THC etc at each stage. Think of it like water. When you boil a kettle although the boiling point of water is 100 degrees centigrade, you'll see wisps of steam start evaporating long before that temperature is reached. With THC it's just the same. 325 degrees F for five minutes is no problem (it's not long enough to do any harm), but if you left it in the oven for say fifteen minutes the chances are you'll have evaporated more THC than you'll have created by decarboxylating the inert compounds. That's one of the reasons I always suggest cooking brownies etc at a lower heat for longer.

Good luck with it, and I'll look forward to hearing how you get on. I took a couple of photographs of a recent batch to give people an idea of what they should be looking for. This was made with 2.5 grams of ground bud and about 10 grams (2 teaspoons) of coconut oil. After about an hour you'll get a green froth form at the surface caused by the oxidisation of the plant material (perfectly normal). (This one is particularly green as the weed hadn't really been cured for long enough). The oil itself should be very dark in colour when done (almost like ink). Remember the residue/sediment in the bottom is equally important to use when dividing up portions. Cheers Flame
