Bho edibles

can anybody tell me if i need to vacuume purge for edibles or does decarbing remove the solvent, i always vacuum purge for shatter but want to do some thc gummies up, also how many mg recommended working on 1g bho =1000mg I know it's a bit lower but as a guide.
Thanks
 
Definitely vac purge first. Decarb-ing activates the cannabinoids by converting to THC-A but if there was some butane left in the extract I’m sure it would release some of it through heat. Problem is butane is flammable; you don’t want butane in your oven. Btw I’m not really the edible type; prefer to smoke but when I did make edibles from bho it was straight fire. Made like 50 caramels with 2.8g of somewhat gooey shatter and that was fairly strong dosage,

Nice one for the info and yeh I'm the same, I just have a smoke as always a waiting game with edibles and can get caught out, the main reason is my brother in law has parkinsons and a few puffs on a joint and he's shaking arm is steady as a rock but he's 54 and never smoked anything in his life up till 3 years ago and hates the taste but likes the effects and obviously no shaking, so looking to do some up for him, thanks for the info
 
heres what leafy recomends, cant say for how accurate the info is, but they seem to know what there saying. but a lot will depend on the strength of the starting product. trial n error are going to be your best tests to see what wqorks best, start small and work upwards to the desired doseag.
have you thaught of tinctures, they work very well and alcohol of the higher percentage is easily baught for the job
 
BHO is the best. You're getting the most THC with the least amount of flavor. Also you can add it to practically anything without altering the recipe.
 
FSCO does the same and can be extracted with a food grade ethanol (organic sugar cane ethanol would be idea or organic corn ethanol or any organic lab grade food safe ethanol) ...imo decarb your weed by using heat or you could let it decarb by just litting it sit in alcohol a few months then evaporate the remaining ethanol using with or without heat...your left with nothing but a oil...the same oil that your left with after a BHO extraction


Imo I wouldn't use BHO for edibles I'd just make some FSCO

Sure, if you have a few months to wait around to get the same thing as bho. Makes sense.
 
Or just decarb and evaporate the ethanol...your going to have to decarb, evaporate the butane AND purge it

FSCO has less steps and ethanol is food safe if you use the right kind
BHO is food safe if purged properly. The dude makes shatter and is specifically asking about it. Your goop probably works fine though.

Thanks for the reply and I've done shatter so that's why I bought a vacuum purger and it has crazy vacuum power as the first chamber it came with emploded and muffins up great and no crackles from the oil when finished, normally purge for 3 days as people's opinion varies and just got into edibles and like I said in my post mainly for my brother in laws parkingsons as thc is the only thing that stops his shaking and he's not a smoker so hates the taste as not many people start smoking at 52 he gets on well with brownies but just thought about doing some 20mg thc approx gummies and adjust the strain and does as I go along as I do multiple strains and got shit loads of scruffy popcorn bud to play with just want people's opinion on being food safe

Yeh tried everclear but blasting is so quick and great yield, my best yield was of a strain called hifi 4g and got 8g of oil 25% ish of a oz but off most strains 4-5g on bud that is not trim as think that's about 10% so that's obviously why I love my blast rig that holds 10oz and done in 30mins but has to be safe to eat so hoping a expert might pop up but appreciate the help on rollitup

Yeh I'm still no closer from other comments but I've researched a bit and think now you think it's all good aswell I think I will get the gummies out and on one research I did a guy said if purged correctly you will ingest more gas when you go to light a joint but your lighter don't spark straight away

Any BHO In the dispensary (depending on state) is allowed up to 800ppms -5000ppms and I'm sure some don't even have a regulation in place for that you can read up on side effects of BHO...

Its probably safe to say it's not life threatening to use BHO... people do it...it's probably safe to take a shot glass of gasoline too

If you want a cleaner form of medicine I would use a food safe ethanol for my extraction

I make these and planned on making some for a friend of mine because he needs them

Tbh I would make a FSCO syringe and just give that to your friend it's small convenient concealable potent and you just drop a dab in your tea coffee mix it with a food or just put it directly on you tongue and take with a beverage

Saves you a lot of work and time and it has a ml measurement on the side of the syringe so he can dose properly


I'm making a "how to" on these after I harvest you should follow and keep a eye out

Thanks and yeh I don't decarb my shatter but think for the sake of 3 days I will vac purge then decarb before I make the gummies, just one thing I'm going to do different doesege to see what suits his parkisons, did you add the oil to the mixture and blend or did you do individual as not sure how well bho will infuse as not tried this before. Cheers

Yep exactly what I was trying to find out as I know about decarbing and obviously no stranger to bho but want to make sure its safe and you and many people have said so good enough for me

That seems like a good method, and quickest way to get the effects under the tounge
