I have about 8 ounces of a vegetable glycerine tincture made with 2 ounces of trimmings,stems and crushed immiture seeds. It has been in the original bottle the glycerine came in. 1/4 teaspoon soy lecithin was added to help emulsify the cannabinoids.
my question : How can I remove the cannabinoid extraction from the glycerine? In its present state ..it melts the "00" capsules
I am trying to fill.
will the volume of the glycerine reduce by heating?

I have had success with coconut oil canna capsules in the past,but I am new to glycerine tinctures.
dosing in its present state is 1 tablespoon every 6 hours for pain. my goal is to extract the cannabinoids and encapsulate at a dosage of .5ml (1 capsule) 2 times a day.
Is this possible with a glycerine extraction?
 
any tincture tinkerers out there? med makers? caregivers?
 
hold on tight my friend someone surely will help you out
 
So I want to be sure I understand what you're asking - already have the glycerin tincture created but want to now remove the cannabinoids from the glycerin as the glycerin dissolved the capsules - correct?

hmmm I'm sure it's possible but not sure if it's something that can easily be performed @ home, in a lab - I think it would be possible.

Usually glycerin tincture is just taken sublingually - it can be flavored.
due to a flare up of Chrons disease ,she can't tolerate the glycerine or the coconut oil anymore.
we put over 2 ounces of ground Dragon into 8 ounces of glycerine. I was looking for a way to remove the glycerine and leave the oil. I hope once I get rid of the gunk,I can make capsules with the oil that wont be expelled so quickly due to the sensitivity of the Chrohns disease.
 
I have generally left tincture in a glass bottle, the ones with the droppers in the lid. Then just squirt a droper full or two under your tongue. Capsules are not that great for liquids.
 
she won't take anything sublingual due to difficulty breathing and swallowing from Emphysema. (the nebulizer,inhalers,cpap and handihaler all make her mouth and throat constantly sore ) ,is why I want to try making some oil capsules that will do some good before the Chrohns sweeps them out of her digestive tract.
 
Glycerin tincture is a nasty stuff even for people without digestive issues.
The only other application I can think of is vaping it with e-cigarette if vaping is an option at all.
 
after more than 40 years of a pack a day cigarette habit,( been quit almost 4 years) her lungs are too sensitive to handle the vapor,it scorches her already sore mouth and throat and makes her gasp for breath after coughing.

I think ingestion is the only option.
 
I make a BHO capsules with MCT oil which this explains what it is

Medium-chain triglycerides are generally considered a good biologically inert source of energy that the human body finds reasonably easy to metabolize. They have potentially beneficial attributes in protein metabolism but may be contraindicated in some situations due to their tendency to induce ketogenesis and metabolic acidosis.[11] Their use is not recommended for diabetics unless under supervised medical treatment and those with liver problems due to the added stress they may put on the organ.[10]
Due to their ability to be absorbed rapidly by the body, medium-chain triglycerides have found use in the treatment of a variety of malabsorption ailments. MCT supplementation with a low-fat diet has been described as the cornerstone of treatment for primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (Waldmann's disease).[12] MCTs are an ingredient in parenteral nutritional emulsions.[13][14] Studies have also shown promising results for epilepsy treatment through the use of ketogenic dieting.[15][16]

I cook my BHO on very low heat in the mct oil for a hour or two and I make sure it doesn't get to hot and take it off the heat every once and awhile then I let it cool and load up some capsules but be very very careful with dosing as a little bit goes a very long way and can cause a whiteout very easy if you would like more info let me know OH and all mct oil is coconut Oil palm kernel oil and camphor Tree drupes
 
slightlystoopid..thanks for the info,we will look further into that method . she is researching oil making on her computer as we speak...thanks again
