Chronic Chocolates

Discussion in 'Weed Edibles' started by rockjently, Aug 9, 2015.

  1. I am looking for a really good way to make cannabis chocolates.


    I have some decarbed herb and a magical butter machine. I was thinking of making an alcohol tincture with sunflower lecithin and evaporating off the alcohol, and then trying to make chocolates with the lecithin/pot that's left over. I know chocolate has cocoa and soy lecithin. I tried using coconut oil as part of a recipe once before and it was potent, but the chocolates kept melting and I had to keep them in the freezer.


    Can anyone recommend a chronic chocolate recipe that really works?

     
  2. I don't know how you plan to use the MBM, but it's no good for tinctures. If you're going too make a tincture and evaporate the alcohol off you can jus buy some melting chocolate, or any chocolate that you like and melt the chocolate, mix in your concentrate. I don't know about mixing lecithin with alcohol, but perhaps mix it with your melted chocolate. I just saw a recipe here for chocolate the other day, but can't find it now. I'm sure Google would turn up something. God luck, please give us a report later.
     
  3. I made a really good tincture with the magical butter machine, by combining distilled alcohol with sunflower lecithin and following the instructions. Maybe I'll try that with a base and get some chocolate recipe off the web. I will report back after I make it!
     
  4. I had the same experience with using coconut oil for chocolates, melts at slightly above room temperature...
     
  5. Check this out- I've forgotten all the kinds of goodies she has in this, but there ought to be at least one recipe that "sounds good" to you [​IMG]

  6. I know that extractions are effective in creating butter (or other oil) that gets you high, but how much does it take to make say, 70 servings?


    Fat extraction methods from bud in my opinion leave too much behind in the plants, which is great if you have a lot to work with, but paying retail prices I need to stretch things out.



    The only way I've found that absolutely minimizes the cost per dose is a coconut oil lecithin made with decarboxylated, powderized whole bud.


    A rule of thumb which works that I've verified with many experiments is the the rule of 10's. Using high-quality flower, a standard dose is 1/10th of a gram (.1 g or 100 mg). So you should be able to get 35 doses from an 8th ounce, 70 out of a 1/4 oz, and so on.


    And you can get a rough estimate of the number of milligrams of THC by dividing the dose weight by 10. So, the 100mg dose contains approximately 10 mg of THC. (of course this is a rough estimate, but it's backed up by years of research[​IMG].) It's the edible equivalent of a joint. Even a novice user can tolerate 10 mg, that's probably why it's being informally adopted by the edibles industry as one serving.


    Did you ever work out how much weed it takes to make a butter extract. If you have enough herb on hand to go into cannabutter, it does taste better.
