Cannabis capsules

[Oscarzuma]

Somehow the lecithin helps the cannabinoids bind better to the coconut oil or MCT which makes it more available to your body when consumed.

Just to throw a suggestion in here

I make sleep brownies for the wife. To do that I decarb flower then I use a pestle and mortar and after decarb it grinds into a flour consistency quite easy. You can’t “taste” it

Do you have a holder for the capsules?
I am going to try to use the gummy molds 2 caps should fit in each hole maybe 3. I ordered size 0 they are quite large. It may work other wise I will have my SIL to drill holes in a piece of wood. I will figure it out.

I ordered a little plastic rack that holds the caps, plus some disposable plastic syringes to fill them.

Size 0 for get high edibles, size 00 for raw THCa caps.

I was going to use a condiment bottle but I have droppers that come with the essential oils I use in salve. I usually just toss them but I did save one or 2

The size zero caps are perfect for the decarbed weed. The oilI I need 2 capsules.

When I stuffed caps with decarb I burp green all day...lol

I only had one strain that I burped a few times. Wasn't too bad only a few times. Most didn't bother at all. The Black strain was worse than anything else. Maui gives the best sleep Black Alaska sent me to the moon the longest. That day I went to the laundromat with all dads closet clothes to donate. Half the stuff in his closets he never wore at all. I washed everything so it was donated freshly washed. If I did it at home I would have taken over a week. I knocked it out in one afternoon. We made 4 trips to the donation center. Car trunk full each time

A rainy morning has inspired me to have a go at mj capsule making. I'm aiming for doses between 10-15 MG per to allow for the missus to consume as well as others not used to big highs. My calculations indicate 13g of weed into a half cup of oil should yield around 100 doses at about 15mg.
I thinking a half cup is 24 tsp which will fill more than the 100 size 0 caps I have on hand. I'm using mct oil and lecithin as binding agents. I'm decarbing now.
Any thoughts? I've never gone the capsule route, always making canna oil for cooking previously. It'd be nice not to have sweets involved.

This is the best thread. No more smoking for me. My lungs feel better already. I hope my son likes this too. He has asthma so he shouldn't smoke either. His is way worse than mine too.

Hope you went through every pocket. Old timers got a way of hiding stuff. When my MIL passed, the Old Hen couldn't find her three carrot ring. We were going through the FIL's closet and reached into a suit coat pocket. Found a ball of tissues. Yep, sure as hell, there it was.

@MariJan I tried to make some gummies. Not only do they taste absolutely horrible. They don't get me high. I just can figure out the coconut oil infusion. I slow cooked the stuff all night with almost an oz of weed.

I guess I'm gonna have to just make some nasty old butter.

I decarb 2 ounces of bud and 2 gallon ziplocks of trim/shake. I do fill the jars up completely. I also pre break down the buds so the can get better penetration on decarbing. Then when I make the oil I use one jar of each bud and trim. I put the plant material in a cheesecloth sack then one large jar of oil. Costco has 84 ounce jars. I put it on low for10 hours then go to bed. The next morning I turn off everything let it cool for a few hours then squeeze the oil out of the plant material and store it. You can add the lecithin to the coconut oil now, or as you make your recipes. The oil will be pretty green but works just fine and will be plenty potent. Did you try my recipe for gummies? I use a cup of oil for the large pack of jello and 4 small envelopes of the unflavored gelatin for the liquid I use 1/2 fruit juice and 1/2 cup of apple sauce. If you use the fruit puree and juice like I do you will need tokeep them in the freezer. So they don’t mold. Freezer not fridge. If you want them to not mold just use a cup of water and no juice or fruit. They wont taste as good but should be shelf stable. I use a condiment bottle to fill the gummy trays. Its less of a mess. After they sre solid unmold them and let them air dry over night in the fridge or a table. I cant leave things out so mine are kept in the refrigerator over night to air dry. It helps with the texture. You don't have to do that last step but it dies help the texture. More gummy like. I can post the recipe if you want to try my recipe.

If you want I can whip up a batch and send it. To see if you even want to try it. You can half the recipe if you want. I send a lot of care packages to people. I make them in bulk. It makes about 240 gummies with the large box of jello or use the smaller box and get 120. They are pretty potent. If I use a cup if oil they are pretty strong. I only take one but can handle 2. 2 will send you “to the moon Alice!”
