Eating Marijuana - Capsules

Heya.

Short short story just for the heck of it: My gf has a bit of arthritis in her wrists and we wanted to try using marijuana to see if it helps her. She hates smoking of any kind, as do I.
Neither of us are ganja users (I've used it perhaps 3-4 times in my life and I'm 30) and she has never consumed/smoked anything.
I use vcaps (vegan made capsules) for some supplements so the idea of stuffing Marijuana in them came to mind.

I've read from multiple sources that you must mix Ganja with something like butter to bring out the full effects. Also, I've read that you must heat pot up to bring out the full effects.

Are these statements true?
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how one would prepare Marijuana so that you would be able to fill up capsules and bring out their full effect?

My inital idea, before reading about the listed above requirements to prep Marijuana, was simply to throw the pot into a blender and then fill the capsules up with the result.

Oh yea. Why? As stated above smoking is just beyond unappealing for her and having to eat pot brownies or the other suggestions just seemed like a pain in the butt. The capsule idea lets for an exact amount if it's to help her sleep all those calories/fat from the food won't be requiring some extra excercise in the morning.

Thanks for any help.

 

As i understand it you dont have to mix it with butter or food. You do have to heat the pot to activate the THC in it however. I guess you could put it in boiling water until all the water has evapotated then grind the pot and put it in the capsule.

 

im sure boiling it in water would destroy the THC. What you gotta do is put a stick of butter in a pan and let it SIMMER, when it ssimmerings put the pot(crushed up) in the budder and stir it around n stuff for a good 40 minutes/hour. then use cheesecloth to seperate the budder from the weed. then you can use the butter to cook as soon as it cools down. google this cuz Im not sure how much pot you shoul dbe using. Jus search up cannabutter recipe.

 

Fuck that dude just search google for a cannabis tincture, but be sure to use the highest proof alcohol you can get.
