What did you accomplish today?

Chunky Stool

Well-Known Member
I don't want my edibles to taste good or require a large amount (since it tastes awful) to get high. I use it as medication and I worry that someone (worst case a kid) could accidentally imbibe a large dose and get quite ill. That's why I make mine strong so that I can simply swallow about a .35 gram chunk of oil. I like coconut oil because it's a solid so I don't taste it.
Sometimes I dip bread in warm oil.
Taste is meh, but it gets the job done.

My brownies are actually semi-healthy. I use gia.. ghear... gearde... oh fuck it, here's a pic:

I do double batches and add a cup of black walnuts and a tablespoon of liquid sunflower lecithin.

I just took a brownie out of the freezer for breakfast.
People who aren't used to edibles can usually eat half of one and get zonked big time.

Forgot to mention the taste... thanks to the rapid cooking process, my brownies have almost zero weed taste.
Just a slight aftertaste is all.
They are deceptively delicious.
A couple of friends and my sister didn't listen when I told them to be careful.
They paid later... :spew:

That's what I was thinking as well. It would be nice if I could make something and maybe take 2ml under the tongue before bed and save on buying gummies.
I make both alcohol cannabis tincture & vegetable glycerin tincture for sublingual, works well for relaxation &pain control, doesn't hit as hard as regular edible, & takes half the time to "come on "
I also hate the taste of cannabis edibles. So I do a dry ice kief, I use the kief ( decarboxylated) for the tinctures, edibles & even the medi-balms . My favorite are hash caps rather than cookies & gummies, taste too good .
I was going to suggest what Bob just did, an alcohol tincture. @Singlemalt 's recipe is rocket fuel.

Yeah I worry about a kid finding and eating a pan. All it would take would be a subclinical heart issue and it could be tragedy. So I just make concentrated oil and swallow a weighed out chunk. If I'm being fancy I'll shove it into a gelatin capsule LOL Cold congealed coconut has almost no taste and a bit of warm coffee with some cream and it's working.

It's sounding like I screwed it up by letting the water level get too low and the water likely wasn't boiled on a high enough heat. Do you get a strong body high like eating edibles?
IMHO I think setting the jar on the bottom of the pan overheated it. What you are trying to do is like a Sous Vide in that you are keeping the oil and bud separate from the water correct? It can be done by suspending a zip bag in the water (DON'T let the zipper get in the water, trust me) or using a turkey bag that is made to handle the heat, or of course a cheap double boiler without the bags. Water is only going to be 212F or 100C at boiling, so using the charts I posted you can figure out the time. There needs to be an opening to let gasses escape also. I tried a Sous Vide to decarb once is how I found out the zippers can't handle it. Edit: It helps to put some marbles in the bag for weight to help keep it from floating, but make sure you bring them up to temp with the rest of the oil or they will shatter from thermal shock.

Been trimming my ass off! It never gets exciting but it makes a good time for audiobooks.

Turn it into your health kick no one will touch it. We add turmeric and a few bits and pieces gets you hi and is amazing on the joints. Which I need for my job.
Here’s a link! This isn’t our recipe I’ll have to get it from Mrs DD if you want it

I always keep mine of the bottom of the pan with a wire tray. I will give your way a go next time. I always try new ways just incase I can get even higher lol

is this it?
I do a qwiso wash, 91% iso, below freezing. Roughly 10 grams of ground material/100ml of Iso. Put dried material in a mason jar and into freezer as is the iso. After a few hours, dump your Iso into jar with the herb. Shake violently for 30-40 secs and then immediately filter. I filter into a new mason jar and store up batches until I'm ready to evaporate it. Dump the qwiso into a glass baking dish; cover it with a lintless paper towel and blow a fan across the top of dish. depending upon volume, it will evap and be tar-like in12-36 hrs. Scrape the tar off with razor blade and do what you wanted. For a tincture I'll put a known amount in a known amount of 80-95% EtOH. It will dissolve in a day or so. Then doseage test, which may or may not be fun. If ultimate intended use is as edible, then decarbox the herb prior to freezing. If not edible, I turn the stuff into hash.
Don't be tempted to rinse, or re-extract the herb or else it gets dirty, bad tasting, etc. You will have gotten 85% of the THC in that 30-40second extraction so don't be greedy.

I used 5 grams of fresh bud and 250ml of olive oil. I boiled it on medium for 2 hours. The oil itself never boiled, but the buds were crispy and smelled awful when I pulled them out of the cheesecloth. The constant rattling noise coming from the kitchen for two hours almost caused a fight so I'll have to plan on trying again when I'm home alone.
I think I know who can help...

@fumble can you help @Laughing Grass with a recipe or directions?

Go straight to the professional when in doubt.

Hope you're well Fumble

I stopped at the point it was infused in the alcohol and didn't try to concentrate it further. Open flame and alcohol fumes are not a good idea.
Okay that makes more sense. Boiling alcohol or using a makeshift still just seems crazy to me. I'm going to give this one more shot with the olive oil and see what I get... I like that it's so easy once you get it right. One benefit I see with the tincture is the calories will be a lot lower than olive oil.
