Hi. Is it possible to re-use your herb for edibles after vaping with it. I have been told that it is now de-carbed and ready, although there is now effect from vaping at the end. Thanks.
Like everything in life "Garbage In = Garbage Out" I make my edibles from high grade Kief. Try it is the only way to know. It mostly depends on how deep you vaped your buds. Decarb 240 F for 40 minutes uncovered. Your correct vaped material doesn't usually need a decarb but it doesn't hurt. Try both ways. 5 grams Kief or Hash or Powdered Buds or Concentrates or Scraps. 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (fastest to kick in) Butter takes twice as long. 1/2 teaspoon Lecithin (strength enhancer) Doubles the bang and duration. Combine Heat 220 F for 20 minutes Freeze Heat 220 F for 20 minutes. Done. Concentrates like Wax or Live Resin 5-6mg per drop Kief-hash. 3mg per drop Powdered Buds 1mg per drop Trim, scraps, and other low grade leftovers. 3 drops per 1mg. I fill capsules with it. The Stainless steel cat food dishes are ideal for the small batches and don't shatter and break jumping from oven to freezer and back to the oven. 160 micron dry ice Kief used. 15 grams of Kief and 3 tablespoons of oil in each dish. Years I've used this recipe and it is the best of the best. BNW
I've only been using Cannabis for a short time, so I'm still trying to understand everything. Kief is the powder at the bottom of the grinder, correct? I don't vape enough, so it would take me months to actually have enough. I think I'll give it a go with fresh herb and do exactly as you've explained. Can I half all the ingredients to try it out first? Once the ingredients are mixed together, do I just leave it heat in a bowl for 20 min? Do you leave it in the freezer for 24hrs? Can you use powdered lecithin? Do I strain it afterwards? Is there a video of this anywhere? Thanks.
Sure, You can scale this up of down as needed. A pinky fingernail worth of bud. Decarb it. Grind it to dust. Mix with just enough cooking oil to make mud. Heat 220 F for 20 minutes. Done. This is the simple fast version. Freeze long enough to fully harden. With 3 tablespoons of Coconut oil in the metal dish this only takes 30 minutes. This step is more for texture then effect. The freeze softens the gritty mouth feel somewhat. Any form of Lecithin works. Sunflower or Soy. Granules, Powder or Liquid. Roughly 1/6th the oil volume. More doesn't matter but none gives a weak oil. Kief Can be collected in the bottom of a grinder but it's a slow process. This, 10 pounds of dry ice and a 5 gallon bucket of buds gives me. Jars of Kief and left over scraps. BNW
Kids love to eat their pax remains .. swear by it . Not for me though. So yes it works but there is better
@deuce22 If you don't have much experience with edibles go very slow the first time or three until you get a feel for how much or rather how little it takes. Take 5mg and wait 1 hour if no effect. Take 10mg more and wait another full hour. if not stoned. Take 20mg more and wait another hour. if not.. Take 40mg more and..... You get the idea. Keep doubling the dose and waiting until you reach nirvana. Keep track of how much it takes and now you have a baseline. If using a cooking oil other then Coconut oil allow 2 hours between doses. This is where it is a good thing to weigh the buds and measure the oil so each batch is exactly the same strength. Fewer ugly surprises when a batch turns out way stronger then you expect. A heavy Cannabis edible stone can be a wildly intense trip like on a well known 1960s 3 letter hallucinogen. BNW
Thanks very much for the explanation. Just so I've got this correctly. 2.5g of buds 1/2 tbs of coconut oil 1/4 tsp Lecithin Decarb Heat in a bowl in the oven for 20min @ 220 F Freeze Heat in a bowl in the oven for 20min @ 220 F Done. In the images, you seem to have a lot of liquid and looks more than just 1tbs. Do I need to add any extra liquid after it is completed, so that I can use the pipette to draw it or will it be fine with just the 1/2 tbs of oil? Thanks.
