Thank you GroErr for explaining and for your recipe, much appreciated! :) Looking forward to make capsules. I will also try to a make gummy bears and I will start with the dose you suggest. It would be great if the quality is good enough to be used as a complementary medicine.

I have tried cannabis infused food in the past. The effect varied from short duration with subtle effect to long lasting with strong and almost paralyzing high. I abandoned the idea, until recently when I read the chloroform extraction thread...

Hi DankDabs420, Welcome to RIU! I have tried QWET and I think it works well. There are many variations of the method, I can recommend this tecnnique: www.skunkpharmresearch.com/qwet-extraction/ Here is a new thread on QWET here on RIU, I am not sure which one that is better than the other...

Well earned media exposure!

I have food grade bentonite powder, and can easilly get hold of activated charcoal for ethanol distillates from my local home brewing store. The store offer different types of activated charcoal, granular as well as powdered, from cocoa, coal or wood. Is the bentonite as effective as activated...

Is the color difference between strains possible to predict before extraction, for example if the strain is sativa vs indica dominant?

What you say sounds logic to me. My intention with the lab test was to get accurate information on any presence of residual solvents and the cannabinoid content. I just assumed that GLC or any other high tech technological method would do the job. I was hoping to send a few drops in a vial to a...

Actually, I have thought about it, but I read inconsistent information on whether it is useful for THC extractions or not. I understand that it's not meant to be used as a primary qualitative method as GLC but I was hoping that it would be able to tell how good or bad my extractions are relative...

Cannabis is still illegal over here but perhaps in the future.

Sounds like a great idea. Business investment as well as a machine for research and quality control.

I will stop searching for test labs in USA it's not worth the risk. Perhaps there are labs within EU. Netherlands have a few test labs but they can not test extracts since "THC oils" is illegal. I did however find test kits as well as test labs but unfortunately they offer only TLC. A GC...

Ok, thanks. I suspected that but was hoping to be wrong. :)

Occasionally I read about people on RIU that have their extracts tested for purity or for residual solvents. Are there companies willing to perform tests of material that are sent to them from outside legal states or is it only possible if I am a licensed grower inside USA? Im not a US citizen...

Does the shortpath extraction process takes a lot of practicing before one master the method, or is it mostly a matter of investing in the right equipment to begin with?

Ok, thanks! Sounds like it is still worth to extract.

What size of soxhlet would you say is reasonable to start with, how much plant material?

A friend of mine seldom use cannabis but is almost addicted to grow. He is about to move in with his new girlfriend and offers me his harvest at a most reasonable price. No trims, buds only. Problem is that it has been stored for almost 1.5 years. It has been stored in mylarbags at a...

I only have a small 500 ml soxhlet extractor that I use for chili and sometimes coffee but I must say I find this very interesting: The idea of the initial extraction using the soxhlet is to extract nearly 100 % with minimal volume of solvent. The problem is that the process also extracts...

Thanks alot! I will try that ASAP!

How is the profit margin in edibles compared to pure extracts? There must be a market, hard to find where I live (EU).
