Too hot and will burn off cannabinoids. Don’t do it!

22

@og_growgirl_sfv , I usually leave a little alcohol left in it so when I add it to the jolly ranchers/suckers/gummy bears, it flows throughout mixture easily to allow for more even distribution of medicine.

23

I’m going buy the machine from Amazon. I’m lazy and forgetful. Lol. I would burn the weed and the whole house would smell like popcorn

24

How should I use my leftover pucks for making rosin?

25

I was thinking of MCT oil? My stomach can’t handle alcohol based

26

Yep yep! Because it’s ethanol, you can get away with it. Plus it helps get the cannabinoids into your bloodstream quicker!

You know what’s up, I was just adding the part to turn it into RSO, which a lot of ppl use! :slight_smile:

Nice thought!

I don’t see that it could hurt, and there’s definitely stuff left in those. :pink_heart:

28

@og_growgirl_sfv Understood, I appreciate the look out. Anything to help move the bar forward for the next grower bud.

29

How much do you need to take? I know everyone is different but rough guess?

30

@SweetsensiWA do you consider yourself a light, moderate, or heavy consumer?

31

Heavyweight, plus inflammation and pain

32

@SweetsensiWA my father was a heavy smoker and he requires at least 75 mg-100 mg to feel any effects.

33

Rick says to start with an amount about the size of a grain of rice, but that’s not our style. :grin:

Since we regularly consume edibles that are 250 to 500mg, we put the oil into half gram capsules and took those. Started at a half gram each, now regularly do a gram, lol!

Okay :+1:. I vape mostly. But do dab also. Rosin. That why I don’t have barely any left over to smoke! We press most of it up.

35

Yeah a grain rice super small

36

I haven’t made tincture from cannabis but I have made tincture from wild lettuce and California poppies.

37

At 19:58 he says “half a grain of rice for beginners”, lol!

38

We’ve made canna tincture from 95% food grade ethanol, and we’ve made it using propylene glycol as the carrier (for AA folks). It works great, just not our preference.

39

Thank you!!

I prefer raw pressed coconut oil to butter or other carrier oils.
I also prefer to make hash with the product first and just add that to the oil/butter for edibles. Get none of the green or plant flavours. Can cook with it or decarb and use as is.
This is just a run of trim that I use for edibles.
