Canna Caps

I stopped smoking weed several years ago because I wanted to save my lungs.
I wanted to ingest it but I hated the taste of any food that was infused with thc........it literally make me gag.
So I decided to make canna caps so I could take like a pill and not have a nasty taste.

People have different ways of making their infused oils...........this is mine.

1. One ounce of bud.
2. 3/4 cup of coconut oil........refined or unrefined is good.
3. "00" Oil Capsules.

I start by grinding up my weed in a coffee grinder.........I don't grind to a powder...........just small bits, like I was going to roll a joint with it.
Next I spread the weed out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
I pre-heat my oven to 240f and decarb in the oven for 40 mins.
As my weed is decarbing.........I place an oven safe bowl with the coconut oil in the oven to melt the oil.........it stays solidified at room temperature.
I then mix the decarbed weed with the warm oil and place it in the oven at 200f for 2 hours........stirring about every 15 minutes or so.
Next I let it cool down and solidify.
I then place it in the oven for 2 more hours at 200f........stirring about every 15 minutes.

I separate the oil from the plant matter with a potato ricer........it provides great leverage and makes it simple to extract the oil.

I suggest using empty caplets that are made for oil.........the ones for dry stuff will disintegrate if oil is put in them.

A tray to hold the capsules while filling is a must.

Once you have filled the caps with the oil (using an eyedropper)..........place in the freezer just long enough for the oil to partially solidify.
This makes it less messy when you place the tops on the capsules.
Just don't let the caps sit in the freezer too long and get frozen or you will have difficulty getting the tops on them.

This makes about 120 canna caps........I take four a day and after about 3 hours, walking straight becomes a challenge.
This lasts me a month..........same as when I smoked it.
I store in the refrigerator.........they can be kept there indefinitely........unlike butter that will go bad.

But that's just me.
Have a nice day everyone.

This is how I've always made my capsules as well, works well
I did find more contamination though this way, and I feel less efficient.
I am trying to run my trim through bubble.bags to make hash, then decarbing, mixing with coconut oil and soy lecithin, and using that in this recipe.

Thanks for sharing!

Just the other day I was getting "politely informed" that my trim/larf was taking up too much space in our (her) freezer lol this will be a good Saturday activity.

Who knew weed in the freezer could make your lunch meat in the fridge dank as F?

I’ve been making capsules since April ‘20 after my family all got Covid. Everyone but me all got a pretty bad case of it and wanted some pain relief. So on another board I read about weed dust capsule. Pretty much what the OP did but I left my buds while, decarbed at 225f for 45-50min, coffee grinder into dust and fill my 00 capsules. They either take 45minutes or up to 3.5hrs before they hit me but they can take you for a ride if you take too many. I usually take 1 for afternoon alertness and 2 for sleep, but have done 3 and sort of turns you into a zombie.

Interesting.
So you don't infuse it in oil? You just use the powdered flower in the capsules?
How many 00 capsules can you fill with 1 oz. of flower?

I have no idea how much I decarb at a time. I just make a salad of my buds and usually decarb a bunch at a time so my mom has some for canna butter. If I were to guess, I think I’m about 40-50g I’m decarbing at a time. I think I get roughly 100 pills when I do it with some of that decarb weed going towards the butter. Sorry I don’t have solid numbers to share my methods for you and others. I just know that they work

Try adding a spoon of soy lecithin in your coconut oil when you melt it.

Well I made some capsules with dry flower to try it, and they kick ass.
I took an 1/8 of flower and ground it up for decarbing.
After decarbing I ground it up into a powder.......and filled the capsules.
It filled 14 tightly packed capsules.........which is nearly the same amount of caps I get when I use oil.
It took a little longer to kick in, but I took 3 and I was fucked up for hours.......I have to take it back to 2 I think.
Bottom line........this is much simpler, much quicker and less messy than oil.......and it fucks me up.
I had naysayers tell me it won't work as well as oil........they're wrong.........I won't go back to oil.

If you want them to kick in real fast. Try eating something oily and/or spicy (Chinese, Mexican or some Buffalo Spicy Wings works for me) Seems to kick the pills into gear faster and sometimes amplified the high for me. These foods tend to get the pills to work for me within an hour of consuming but can take longer sometimes, but it’s usually on the shorter end.
