Calling all Lecithin users!

I might already have answered some (all ?) of these, but just in case
1. Every night for sleep for the past 5 years
2. Always
3. Always
4. Expenses are about $50 per month
5. Yes, but only in oil tinctures and whole herb baked goods (the best way to make edibles). I don't make anything else.
6. From Magical Butter Machine recipes
7. B, but it's hard to quantify

 

@clayi21
]For those who missed my thread last week, I'm Clay, a regular maker/consumer of edibles/tinctures for the last 12 years. I'm working on a project at University of Georgia, and I'm trying to collect data on home infusion makers with a focus on those trying to improve the solubility/bioavailability of their infusions. Totally anonymous, I won't use your name or profile in my project. I appreciate any help answering the following questions; feel free to post here or privately message me your answers. Thanks!

1. How long have you been consuming cannabis and how often do you consume it?
40 plus years. Daily
2. How often is it orally consumed cannabis (edibles, tinctures etc)?
99% of the time is oral Hash-Coconut oil-Lethicin Capsules
3. How often do you make your own cannabis infusions?
Every 3-4 months I do a cooking session. I grow and make all my own oil-tinctures
4. How much money do you spend on cannabis per month?
$50 for grow supplies, Coconut oil, Capsules.
5. Do you use lecithin in your infusions? If so, do you only use it in fat based infusions or other types as well ex. Alcohol tinctures, glycerin etc..?
As lecithin is a fat-oil itself only oil.
6. Where did you learn about using lecithin in cannabis infusions?
BadKats CannaPharm: Medical Grade Oil, Cannabis Capsules, UV GLOWING Hash Candy, Canna Bombs more
Our own BadKat who was still active on the City when I started making oil.
7. How would you compare the strength level of your infusions with lecithin to those without lecithin? A: the same, no differences are felt; B: 10-25% increase in effects; C: 50% or more increase of effects.[/QUOTE]
C: More like flat out doubles the perceived effects and doubles the length of the effects as well IME.
I won't make a batch of oil without it.

I stubbornly resisted using lecithin until deciding to try BrassNwood's method.
Best method I've tried, out of dozens.

 

how about using an ultra sonic cleaner to capsulize the lecithin over the cannabinoids ? we use lecithin and vitamin C to make encapsulated vit C in our ultra sonic... for mainstream, I think prime my body uses that method too
prime my body at DuckDuckGo

 

1. Daily, 24/7
2. Daily, 3-5 times / day depending on pain. RSO for higher doses, infused coconut oil capsules for lower doses
3. I try to make as much as possible. Now with growing my own I do not have to rely on small batches as I have access to more material. Usually every 3 months now for meds. Usually spend an evening a month making some baked goods, brownies, scones, banna bread, etc...
4. 100$ / year for capsules, lethicin, coconut oil
5. yes, in coconut infused capsules only. Sunflower Lethicin
6. interwebs
7. B

cheers!

 

The ultrasonic cleaners are fast becoming important tools for the CBD market. Combined with lecithin and low heat they provide a better liposomal encapsulation than mere lecithin and the heat/freeze cycles alone. The ultrasound breaks everything down into micromolecules which vastly improves bioavailability.

Lecithin personally does nothing for me when combined with cannabis. However, I do use lecithin as a cardiovascular supplement daily.

 

I try to make it as efficient as possible. time is money.

I first tried to use the granules but found they didn't always melt and mix easily.

I now use the liquid. thick as tar but blends in well at 100 degrees c.

as for the difference between the 2. no noticeable difference to me in effectiveness

 

I've used the powder ( sunflower lecithin only) and the liquid . powder is better to work with and not as gross LOL, but both are effective.. the pellets I assume turn into powder so same thing basically

Edit- I use lecithin alone and feel a Brain Gain instantly it seems, very effective lipid no doubt
