how to make my own capsules

I'm trying to find the best way to make my own meds using capsules. I prefer not to smoke and would rather take meds in a pill form but not sure the easiest way to do this on my own. Its to expensive to buy from the dispensaries. In addition I would like to have capsules so I can still have meds if needed while out of town on business. Seems like the easiest way is doing something with sesame or grape seed oil, but not sure how to use the oil and not break down the capsule coating.

:peace:

I've made these caps with hash, coconut oil and soy lecithin. The potency is mind blowing. I store mine in an airtight container in the freezer. They'll eaisly keep a month or more.

GREAT!!!!

Thanks for the amazingly detailed info.

Do you have any idea if I use buds how much to alter the temps and time?

Thanks for the help!

The caps turned out great. Another question, how long can I store the caps and what is the best way of doing it?

Thanks for the advice. Any difference between storing in the fridge vs the freezer?

What about tincture? How long does that usually stay good for? Should it be kept in the fridge also?

capsules or items made with olive oil can last frozen or in the fridge for 6+ mo's butter has a shorter shelf life.

freezing is said to make the capsules more bioactively available to your body faster (tho I have yet to see a dif in this)


if your using buds to make capsules use .25g per capsule or .5 of hash

I used coconut oil and followed BadKittySmiles recipe, they turned out great.

Has anybody had an issue with the canna caps seeming really acidic?

i never use lecithin, as it takes bout 2 tbs. to do its thing with each capsule. kinda worthless in my opinion, but quite a few swear by it. so, acidic no, but i do get very slight upset stomach for 1/2 hr. or so.
