Medical Marijuana Capsules Made Easy!

:ssmokeit:Up in smoke. That's where 85% of your Marijuana goes!
Only about 15% of inhaled burning Marijuana is absorbed. the rest is blown away. By digesting Marijuana thru the digestive system, rather than thru the lungs, we can realize nearly 100% of it's effects & spare the lungs the irritation of inhaling a burning substance!

> THE THEORY; the THC, which is the active part of marijuana, is contained within tiny plant cells.

> These cells are surrounded by a tough cellulose skin. When smoked, the cellulose skin is burned, and the THC vapors are released to be absorbed thru your lungs and carried by your blood stream directly to your brain!

> If you ate primo-bud, however, you would not get much effect. the cellulose skin is indigestible and pot cells will pass out of your body unchanged. So, how can we break-thru this tough, cellulose skin, without burning ( or cooking-up those nasty tasting marijuana brownies ),
to make the THC contained therein available to our digestive system?

> THE METHOD; The first piece of equipment needed is a blender. It must have Very Sharp blades ( a coffee mill or grinder may also work. ) Put your Very Dry marijuana leaf into the blender and grind the stuff up.

> Strain the ground-up pot thru a very fine screen. A triple-zero ( 000 ) brass screen purchased from your local hardware store is best. Blend and re-blend the stuff, and filter it thru the screen repeatedly. the object is to end up with ground-up weed that is near the consistency of flour ( leave out any left over fibrous material. )

> It is important that the grass be Very Dry and ground-up to the finest consistency. This exposes the greatest number of cells containing THC to the extraction process. The plant cells containing the THC are almost impossible to rupture in order to release the THC. Until recently, the only commonly-employed method was to burn them and inhale the smoke.
That is, until the appearance of the Microwave oven!

> Your second piece of apparatus is a microwave oven!

> THC is soluble in both alcohol and oil. the alcohol is not acceptable for capsule making, so oil is the choice!
I've always used expensive Olive oil in the process, but any good liquid vegetable oil will do.

> Place a portion, or all if you only have a small amount, of your ground-up grass powder into a microwave-safe clear-glass container. Pour in some oil. The amount of oil can-not be specified, as it depends upon the amount of your marijuana powder. A 20% oil-to-powder ratio will be about right.

> Microwave this mixture for a few seconds, then remove from the oven and stir. Repeat this process several times, microwaving and stirring.
Add oil if necessary. The mixture must be very oily, black, almost-tarry consistency.

> Continue to microwave and stir until the mixture becomes quite hot and just begins to smoke very slightly.
Do-Not scorch the mixture. Allow the mixture to cool for a short time.

> What has happened is that the marijuana plant cells have ruptured in the microwave oven, and the released THC is trapped in the oil surrounding them. the oil containing the released THC is completely digestible!

> After the mixture has cooled for a short time, stuff it into empty 00 capsules. Put the capsules in a bottle and freeze them Immediately! This is Important; the capsules MUST be stored in the freezer. the released THC dissolved in the oil will spoil or become rancid if not frozen. the capsules keep indefinitely if frozen.

> In Fact, the freezer can make them even stronger. the freezing tends to rupture the few remaining THC-containing cells the microwave may have missed.

> Alternative to freezer... If freezer storage is not possible, the capsules can be made with a hard Crisco-like type oil. the capsules must still be kept in a very cool place, preferably the refrigerator.
Storage time will be reduced in proportion to the warmth of the storage place.

> This method is OK if you are making just a few capsules to be used in a short period of time.

> USING The CAPSULES; When ingesting the capsules, they should be removed from the freezer and swallowed frozen.
1 capsule, or the maximum of 2, are all that is needed for a long-lasting, very intense experience!

> Also, the effects come on very slowly and subtly. Remember, it takes 30 to 90 minutes for marijuana to take effect
in this form. You may think nothing is happening due to the slowness, but after awhile you realize you are more stoned than you have ever been on marijuana! Remember... you've got all the good stuff inside you!

The highest I have ever been is on mj pills. There is something I'll add to this. If you take a pill or 2 early in the day, you will be high for a long time. When you come down, if you want to get high again, good luck. My crew has experienced this issue before where we were out fishing high as hell then that evening there isn't enough weed in the world to get you high again. So...I suggest if you are using the pills, don't take them more than 5 or 6 hours before going to bed.
Also, I know this post is giving an alternative to smoking weed but if you take a pill, wait 30 minutes, then do a couple bong rips, it will set the high off and it will be much less of a body high, which is what you get when you ingest weed.

 

I will add that not "just any vegetable oil" will do.
It has to be a certain type, but I don't remember what.
Olive oil is a good one as well as coconut oil, but I know some types of vegetable oil don't work so great.

also eating is WAY different than smoking, so be prepared for a different type of experience.

 

Your method may indeed work, but your theory is flawed. THC is not trapped in cell walls that need to be ruptured. When you eat fresh bud you are not eating THC, you are eating THCA. When you smoke bud, the heat causes a chemical reaction known as decarboxylation that converts THCA into THC.

 

I've never seen anyone who new what they wee doing use a mirowave.


Also, I have kept bottles of ganja oil for more than six months at a time without any change in potency.

I also filter out any And all plant matter as it is useless. But I'm not making capsules, I make treats. If I were to make capsules I would use a more potent extraction.

 

this thread reminded me that i have a little jar of cannabis-coconut oil in my refrigerator, awesome.
