Awesome info as always Kindred! Enjoy your ride on the wave of awesomeness! :smokebuds:

Thanks kidred!
Did you take 2 capsules at the same time? If not how long did you wait to take the other one? If I may ask did you take the 2nd capsule because the first capsule was too weak? Or do you just have high tolerance?
Thanks

Any time brother! I took 2 capsules at once based on the recommended dosage given with the recipe.

As a guide:
1 capsule can be taken by medicinal users for strong pain relief.
2 capsules will give a regular smoker an intense 4 to 6 hour trip.
3 capsules (experienced tokers only) a 6 to 8 hour plus ‘wild ride’.

I have an extremely high tolerance, but I wanted to test out how 2 capsules worked before I tested 3. I had a croissant before I took the capsules, so it wasn't completely on an empty stomach. I'll be testing 3 capsules tomorrow morning. Based on how 2 capsules are treating me right now, I'll be catching up on a lot of tasks around the house tomorrow because I definitely won't be driving anywhere. I'd feel perfectly comfortable and safe driving now with 2 capsules in me, but 3 I think might be pushing it.

Thank you my friend. I was thinking of making this for my aunt. She has never taken marijuana but she is in constant pain. I just don't want it to be too strong. How much bud did you use? I have 2g of iso hash around (not sure if I would be able to grind that up) I could use that or use a bit of bud
Sorry about all the questions, I hate to see people in pain so I'm trying to figure out what I can do to help

Also I'm researching gelatin capsules and some of the sites are saying do not fill the capsules with liquid otherwise they will melt. Is this an issue with coconut oil when it's in liquid form?

nice find kindred -- you are a :beast:!!

got this bookmarked as well.

so little buds/hash being used and your stoned for 4+hrs? its definitely a must try.

this should help out with my pc grow harvest and will last much longer than if i were to just smoke it.

would love to see your final results and or your step by step process.

hopefully everyone who tries this will post here as well so we can share some tips and tricks!

cant wait to give this a try! :dance:

Hey fam! :group::group:

I came across this handy step-by-step guide for making Cannabis Capsules. I'll be following this guide using 1.5g of kief tonight to make up some capsules. I'll try and snap some pics of the process and let you know how it works.

Many thanks to member Flameon over at Cannabis.com for their writeup! :smokebuds:

I just realized that I didn't include anything about adding lecithin in the original post, and there is no mention of it in the linked guide. I'll go back and edit that in a few.

Bro, absolutely no reason to apologize!! Ask away!!

If you use this recipe to make capsules for your aunt (kudos for that, by the way) - I would recommend she only take one capsule. Once she builds up a tolerance, you can see if she would like to up her dosage to 2 but I think it might be a bit intense for someone who doesn't have experience. This recipe (providing you're using high quality kief, hash, trim, bud) has a high THC load and strong psychoactive effects.

As far as using your ISO hash, as long as the alcohol that was used was food grade, you can use it. When your ISO is dissolved in your oil, heating the mixture at the proper temperature for an hour will convert the THCa into THC (and to some extent, CBDa into CBD) through decarboxylation.

For the capsules: Use gelatin capsules and not vegetarian capsules - the vegetarian capsules are the ones that dissolve. Also, let your oil cool to below 100 degrees F before putting it in the capsules.

Thanks a mil for the post...Think I will be giving this a go.
i have come to the point where i can no longer fool myself that smoking pot is helping me.
I wheeze after every bong,often needing an inhaler.

Thanks Kindred, it was 99% alcohol that I used for the hash (isopropyl/iso hash) is that considered food grade?
I don't want her to get crazy high, just for pain. So 1 capsule is a good idea, do you think that would make her really high and uncomfortable for someone who hasn't used marijuana before any way shape or form

Edit: Is states right on the bottle that the iso is poisonous doesn't seem to mention food grade
