Louana Coconut oil is found in almost all stores and is my top choice as it has zero smell or taste. It is as neutral an oil as possible. If you shop it comes in both the usual 30 ounce and a smaller half size at 14 ounces. Lecithin I order online and have shipped. Decarb Cannabis first 240 F for a full 40 minutes. Grind to dust. 20% Lecithin to oil if used. Mix with enough oil-lecithin to make paste. Heat 220 F for 20 minutes Freeze (optional) Heat 220 F for 20 minutes (optional) Done. Buds 1 drop = 1mg 7 grams of Bud dust will need 1.5 tablespoons of oil. Go to 2 if it is just to thick to work with. It should be the consistency of Elmer's glue. Coconut oil is a solid below 76 deg F and a liquid above. BNW
You could also opt for a tincture. The following thread has a recipe for 7 grams of bud on post #4. Green/Gold Dragon Recipe Dragon Lite.....another Tincture Thread PsychedelicSam, is no longer with us. If you need help with the process just ask.
Here is the single serve of the same base oil. 1/3rd of a gram. Pinky fingernail. Decarb 240 F for 40 minutes. (use an oven thermometer to insure your in range). Grind to dust. Mix with enough butter or cooking oil to make paste Heat paste 220 F for 20 minutes Let cool / Chill Cut into 4 pieces Eat one Wait 2 hours If not stoned Eat a 2nd chunk Wait If not Eat the rest. BNW
@Jessyca80, you need to make it much stronger. I definitely wouldn't use over 1/4 cup with seven grams. Seven grams gives you about 850 mg, a strong gummy dose if your recipe makes 72 gummies they will be potent at 10 mg/gummy. I don't know if this is under your tongue potent, but it's pretty strong. Oh, that potency guess is based on weed with 15% THC and 80 % extraction, so your numbers could actually be quite different. Good luck. Please let us know what you do.
Hi. I'm new and would like to replace my smoking with sublingual to save what I have left of my lungs. BrassNwood can you recommend anything for sublingual use? I would very much like the dosage/time control that I'm used to and eating seems to make it very hard / impossible, as opposed to sublingual. I decarbed 248F for 20 mins (this was before reading here) then infused in steam bath for 2 hours 1/2 cup of MCT. May have overheated the bath . Not yet sure, but it doesn't seem to work (tried 3ml as of now). I'm thinking about purchasing levo 2 (if it just works I'm fine with paying the price) but I'd hate to waste more cannabis, as it's very expensive where I live. I'm also eager to try the 0.3g recipes, but I just don't want to eat them.
Also, in the case of buds, do you just add a tiny bit of oil and leave the plant matter within and eat the whole thing?
Welcome to the City. To move completely from Inhalation we have 2 choices. Alcohol Based Tinctures. This will hit fast, Be short lived and feel much like smoking does. Easy to find your dose and wears off fast enough if you take a bit to much to fast. Full Edible Oil is a different animal that needs more training not to pee on the couch. Slow to kick in, Lasts all day. and hours of misery if you take to much. Edible oil is the one to tame as you get all day stone from what you'd have filled the pipe with for a single toke. I do it that way as I work in Kief and the particles is all Trichomes and very little leafy plant matter. I have and do eat the plant bits / dust when we travel and I don't want to carry my own oil. Edible oil is easy enough once you find your dose range and a method / recipe that is easy to make and take. Hallucinating Hash Capsules for Hemp Heads This is what I make and it can be done with bud dust with a bit more effort.
I do a lot of cannabis-butter. I do all of my decarbing with a big cookie sheet in the oven. Just remember for the solvent to fully get into the cells the cells must be broken down as much as possible. I run it in a mixer to completely reduce plant material to a fine powder.
Are you doing an extraction using a solvent then infusing that product into your butter? )Or the boiling butter method?
