Hallucinating Hash Capsules for Hemp Heads

Love it! Bet you can crank out some impressive numbers with that beast! My source turbo only holds about a pint of booze at a 2 hour rip I get back 10 to 15g of rso.

 

My mom uses those metal things for tomatoes

It was strange seeing cannabis in them lol

I have never seen that before

Do a lot of people use those for cannabis?

 

Makes sense

I have just never seen any pictures like that before

 

Such a beautiful post!!! It makes me really happy to see it especially knowing the results you achieve…and on the other side it makes me sad because the laws here in Amsterdam are so outdated… so I am not legally able to cultivate even 1 plant. Because of Corona the transport was limited - so the hash deliveries from morocco and the hash got expensive. There is minimal to none local hash. Any form of concentrate (even RSO) except hash are illegal. So although you can buy weed from the coffeeshops since the 80’s, the market is very limited. Luckily you have plenty of choice of weed so it’s not that bad at all. Lots of guys are selling shake for very cheap prices because otherwise they have throw it away. Hopefully one day we will be able to cultivate without being criminal and so long this is not the case… I will need to make my own infused coconut oil as my hash caps stash is limited and I keep them for special cases! Cheers:

 

Oh man that looks amazing!

 

I am having a weird phenomenon that maybe you can shed light on.

My most recent batch, I used 50g hash, 124ml coconut oil, and 21ml lecithin. I cook my paste "stovetop" - first I decarb like you say to do but then I leave it on the mug warmer at 80c for ~1 hour with the oil+lecithin, periodically stirring and whisking the shit out of it, to infuse. After this, I lower the temperature to 70c and fill the capsules. In the process of filling the capsules, I noticed some sediment/gunk at the bottom of the dish. When I would whisk things for 20 seconds, the gunk would be suspended in the oil+lecithin mix but eventually it would settle back to the bottom. The gunk was actually too thick for my dropper at some points and so I would have to wait for it to settle before being able to fill the dropper (otherwise, the mix was too thick for the small dropper).

Is this gunk important after infusing the oil+lecithin? Should I be trying to get some of the gunk into each capsule to maximize potency?

In the end, I decided to just periodically whisk and fill the capsules, and for the ending I tried filling a couple capsules with pure gunk/sludge just for fun. I attach some pictures of the remaining gunk/sludge.




My own experience so far says that the gunk capsules are less strong than the actual oil+lecithin ones. So maybe the gunk/sludge is useless and should be thrown out after the good part is extracted.

 

You stir it between every draw? I'm filling up 200+ capsules at a time, it's a hassle to stir it that much to be honest. I even considered buying one of those auto stirrers they make for chemists, but the ones that do stirring + heat are hundreds of bucks.

Besides the issue of it being annoying to stir so often, I also was unable to suck up any liquid after stirring after a certain point. When the sediment was sufficiently mixed, the solution was quite thick and unable to be suctioned using my tiny dropper. Now, maybe I could just use a dropper with a slightly wider gauge and have no issue, but it's bizarre that it gets so thick, isn't it?

I'll also point out, I'm using just hash and no actual flower if that makes any difference.

 

My Turn - First Time

5g Dispensary Kief - Legend OG 52%



Decarbed Kief. 2.5 tsp coconut oil. .5 tsp lecithin



After the oven @ 220°F & 20 mInutes



22 full "BrassCaps"
5g 52%, 520mg each, > 2600mg ÷ 22 caps = 118mg each
​

Took my first about an hour ago. Too much pain and serious spasming to go further so I gave in and took a pain pill that I had been avoiding and that takes a while for any effect although it doesn't usually provide a lot of relief.

I remembered I had some tincture in the freezer that needed to finish processing. I was shaking badly and afraid I was going to mess it up but it had to get done. I sat down and carefully started to do my thing and suddenly I realized tha tI was feeling pretty good and my pain was floating away and the spasms were gone, all at once. The pain meds don't work like that. I think they both started to take effect at the same time. It was quick, one minute there and the next it was all gone.

I'll have to try a cap when I haven't taken a pain med to see if it's as noticeable as now. This was an extreme situation and I think gave the cap a good test. I'm impressed and look forward to more sampling. That's $3.40 per cap. It was so easy to make using a snipped off pipette. No mess. I feel better now than I have in a few weeks.

Hey Brass!

Hope all is my brother.

As always, thank you, for this blessing... so good, so simple...

I'd like to know what are your thoughts on straining the cannabis at the end of the 220F heat and just keeping the oil?

I have made a few bathces, all good, but working with the plant matter (using powdered buds) can be a little tedious.

I'm wondering if one can seperate the cannabis through a cheese cloth at the end of the whole process and end up with an oil equal in strength.

Does the presence of the cannabis in the oil contribute much? Or is the majority of the 'good stuff' already blended with the coconut oil after the 220?

Thank you for taking the time to wright back and clarify this.

Thanks for everything Brass.

Real love and appreciation out here for you!

I've become pretty lazy when it comes to making my edible weed (still can't get hold of hash, but I live in hope). The usual process: 5g carbobud (Instantpot method), 1 tbl sp coco oil, 1/2 tsp lecithin, 20min @ 220F.

After the carbo & grinding I'm left with 3.5g of weed dust, which jumps to 23g when the oil & lecithin is added (seems a lot, can the oil really be that heavy?). Then I just keep it in the fridge & carve off 0.5- 0.6g lumps, which I allow to melt in my mouth, as I quite like the taste. Usually hits in 30-45mins (in caps a bit slower imo).

But I can't be bothered with droppers & caps unless I need a takeaway, so then I just leave the solid out at room temp for a while until it's soft enough to push half a cap into it, which is usually close to 0.5g. If it's under, it's easy to push a bit extra in with a knife.

Another reason I like this method is that I can mix the oil & weed evenly when it's at a sort of buttery consistency & in the fridge it stays completely blended. When I used to fill lots of caps, not only was it very time consuming, I was never sure about making each cap the same potency with equal amounts of oil & weed. Now I just weigh out as much as I need.

EDIT: Must have used half as much oil last time because I'm finding I need 0.8-1g with the last batch for my usual hit potency, which is consistent with my thinking that I usually get 4 hits per g. Unlikely to be build up of tolerance because I'm not taking it every day.

 

I tried this method again yesterday, but don't think I de-carbed enough. It was slightly darker after taking it out, but not much. I'm wondering if wrapping the glass in foil has stopped it from de-carbing fully.
I went ahead and added the oil and lecithin and tried a cap, but with no effect. Is there a way for me to de-carb now it's mixed or is this wasted?
Thanks.

 

Great, thanks.

I tried to de-carb 2.5g last week, but the fan blew it everywhere and I wasted it, thats why I covered it this time. It looks like it doesn't de-carb properly when covered. I'll do the additional heat/freeze cycles and see if that helps.

Thanks very much
