What is the benefit in using MCT oil?

For one, it remains liquid, where coconut hardens.. maybe @Olderfart has more info?

Welcome back! Don't be a stranger!

Thanks. My good friend that shared his green thumb and passion with me recently passed away. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to being able to talk with others that have the same passion.

The layout has changed a bit since my last visit, but I'm getting familar with the new layout. I plan on starting a new journal and use it to help not only grow some medicine but be therapeutic in itself. Even if no one follows, it will be good to be able to express myself. Something I have trouble doing with those around me.

I gather that MCT oil Is refined from coconut oil... lower viscosity, lower melting temperature. I s'pose I'll need to find a dropper bottle to store/measure it.

So far my favorite oil infusion is the cocoa butter, because it's solid at room temperature. Don't need any tools to measure a dose, just break off the appropriate size chunk.

What oil do you infuse with, @WildBill? Do you have a recipe?

Babies were getting a bit too lanky. They were seeing just under 200. I brought it up to just under 300. Well see!

I like coca butter too. It is a lot of fat though. But it's not like I'm consuming massive qualities of it either.
I have done coconut oil too and it's good. I actually mixed the two with each infused on it's own. The coca butter I had made the ran material from a dry ice hash run was stupid powerful. I HAD to cut it. I had some infused coconut oil, so I water warmed the two and combined them. It turned out quite nice and I can dose without losing a few hours!
If I'm infusing hash, I'll calculate out the dosages. Running flower and worked flower, it's just what ever it is.
To reasonably accurately dose with some sort of infused butter or oil, you really need to use hash or rosin. It has a generally accepted content. You really can't say that with flower.

It is highly digestible when consumed. I think it is easily absorbed as tincture, but I am not sure about that.

@Kyote inspired me to get some MCT oil, and @WildBill gave me the idea with his "a couple drops'll do 'ya" canna coffee. So...
I de-carbed 7g of well-cured Vanilla Latte Auto buds for an hour in the oven at 240°F.
I ground it up in 50ml of MCT oil and infused for an hour at 180°F in the oven.
I strained out the grounds and wound up with 25ml of light-colored oil.
I haven't figured out dosing yet.
I boiled the leftover grounds with a teaspoon of lecithin powder to make a few cups of ganja tea. I drank a cup yesterday afternoon, and was a basket case 'til bedtime. I tried 1/2 cup of the tea this evening, already kicking in. I still have a couple more cups of the tea before I try the oil in a cuppa joe. Thanks for the ideas!
