Cannabis Capsules - A Step-By-Step Guide

[herbal.experience]

Update, I made them, filling the caps was a little tedious, but no too bad. I made my own cap holder and scraper. Scraper was just made out of a coat hanger flattened out. The cap holder was out of just a peice of wood with holes drilled almost all the way through with counter skunk top of the holes. (I f'd up the placement of my holes, i was in a hurry)

The effects:
1 capsule on an empty stomach, while shoveling snow (i know physical exertion NOT ideal). I felt nothing while i was working, but when i came in and sat down on the stairs to unlace my boots, I realized realativly high. I took it at 6:30 and when i came in it was about 9 and all was good. Then at about 9:25 I ate it was not bad. At this point what I felt was compared to coming down from a good smoke, then I wen to sleep..

thanks for the result update bro! cant wait to give this a try.

just placed my order for some capsules so it should be here by the time my buds dry.

:dance:

Herbal YOU WILL LOVE the canna caps! I made a jar of coconut oil using an oz of super skunk buds... Don't feel really anything until I hit that 4-6 pill dose, even than still functionable (though they do make me sleepy that's why I use before bed to cut back on Xanax... Went from 1mg nightly down to .75mg and am doing great!) I really need a week break from the canna but now I supply my own medicine I'm not as motivated to stop canna but would like to lower my tolerance a bit...ahh we'll see... I can say a very early sample of my durrty one bowl got me high (even after smoking all day!) ill give her another 3 weeks or so...
Good luck with the caps and Aunty gave me a tip that ill use next time is to put caps in freezer first before filling (in the holder) makes it easier and less likely to misshapen the caps making them uncappable.
Best of luck! Let us know how it goes for you bro!

looks like your tolerance isint going to go down soon -- specially if youre smoking all day. lol. goodluck!

and i will definitely keep that tip in mind :dance: dont have a hold tho -- ill come up with something.

*tips and tricks*

- placed the capsules in freezer while oil was cooling (thanks yoda and aunty!)
(preventing the oil from burning the capsules)

will add more when i learn to make the capsules without adding the mess

----

learning curve

- i spilled some oil while filling up in the process
(will get better eventually!)

----

either my tolerance is too HIGH or i did it wrong.

thinking of using the bud only capsule so we shall see how that works out

*REMAINING CAPSULES*

4 product only = tossed in the garbage

----

*OVERALL RESULTS*

- capsules did not work for me overall

why?!

- could be user error as it was my first time
- decarb process wasnt long enough? / too long?
- maybe 2 hrs wasnt enough for the double boiler method
- could be that the surface area of the bowl used for cooking was too big
- could be a lot of reason

what will you do different next time?! // will you give it another try?!

will definitely be giving it another try -- would love for this product to work

- will be trying to find/purchase a crockpot and use that method for cooking
- 4+ hrs on a slow cooker should make a difference
- will be using a smaller bowl etc with a smaller surface area as well

----

thats that for all my 1st time results

i will be back with more results when i get a chance to make this things again
