How To Make Concentrated Cannabis Oil

[OldMedUser]

Your chocolates are yummy! Since you asked, I put my weed (Candida) in a magical butter machine to process and fill size 00 caps with cbd oil. Olive is my oil of choice these days. 90 mg a day. Does wonders for arthritis and other inflammation related things. No decarbing so it retains cbda. That's the anti inflammation aspect I'm looking for.

It's likely the omega 3 that is reducing the inflammation. I've had worsening arthritis for decades and was using CBD oil w some THC for good pain relief in things like coconut oil extracts or RSO versions. I started eating a half cup of hemp hearts every day and taking salmon oil caps 6 months ago and now nave the pain levels down enough I don't need the CBD but once I have some made up I'll get back on it to see if I can push the pain levels down even further.

I'm going to making non-decarbed versions of any oils I make to see how they work in comparison. I think a combination will cover more bases than just one version.

Just a couple months ago I got 16lbs each of original Hemp Hearts and hemp protein powder from Rocky Mountain Grain Products here in Alberta. 2 boxes with one big bag of product in each. Wish I'd got the protein flakes instead or half and half if they could do that but it is what it is. More smoothies! My previous order I was almost out of was 16 of the hearts and 8 of the powder. Better ratio for my use. I'm not a big eater and wasn't getting near enough protein in my diet. Major muscle loss since I retired and some weight loss too. About 135 - 140 now and 5' 8".

I tolerate cannabis well, i find 19% THC -23% THC content in cannabis minimum effective for me continue functioning normally.

We must combine healing essence and re encourage the body's naturalistic healing channels.

Did you infuse the the pre bought chocolate or combine an infused fat?

I caution candy and sugars are treats with little nutrition and detrimental to health. Sugars greatly alter a body's natural energy metabolism turning circulating sugars normally fuelling body functions to long term fat storage and altering the body's metabolic function.

A semi sweet chocolate, reducing the added sugars combining with an infused butter and lecithin is used to aid absorption of nutrients.

Traditional fats Generally Regarded AS Safe butter, olive oil, coconut oil. We believe wholesome traditional meals are how health is normally imparted and regular exercise is how the natural system of health is maintained. We believe nutritious natural organic foods restore our bodies health.

I believe that the quality of the essence extracted combined with the properties of the fat carrier influence health imparting qualities rather than extraction efficiency and then an individuals digestion with edibles.

The chocolate has lots of fats so I don't add any fats other than about 5ml of MCT oil to dilute the oil and make it flow better and a bit more to wash out the little beaker that had the weighed out oil in it. Only eating one later in the evening and was getting all day pain relief after waking up with greatly reduced pain. Good night's sleep too.

I basically run on carbs. I've always had a fast metabolism and problems maintaining or gaining weight. I definitely need more exercise and I'm working on that. Last two days I went out hiking around the acreage and played with the dog for a while. Strong winds a couple days ago knocked down a tree into the space between the chicken coop and the shop and I see a much bigger one looking like it could come down, bounce off a long stump I left of another windfall last year and slam into the back of the shop. So I either need to get rid of that stump or go knock down the big tree so it can fall where I want it to fall. If It's not really windy this afternoon I'll fire up the chainsaw and go tidy up back there.

Tacking oil is not my cup of tea. If I were battling a deadly disease I would be trying all forms of administering cannabis and getting my tolerance so high I could take mega-doses before feeling high.

I have consumed 20 gram of cannabis per day as medicine my prescription for extended periods as my tolerance built. I do not feel "High" as my tolerance has increased, I do not perceive intoxication. Many cannabis aficionados have noted they no longer get "high" when smoking cannabis when consuming increasing amounts regularly and the body's senses adjust. When a person may have concerns over an unpleasant experience the cannabis exceeds their tolerance and senses ability to navigate the experience. Concentrated Cannabis Oil capsules allow the cannabis to be ingested without palatability concerns. Lecithin improves the cannabinoid digestion.

Whatever it is it's working!

Those hemp hearts seem to be a real deal! Exploit that! Have you tested it? What is a hemp heart?

We get the hemp hearts at health food stores in our area. Love to sprinkle those on a salad now an then.

I must have read that thread when it started as I have likes all down the first page. Forgot all about it tho.

I have a cap filler gizmo for 50 - '00' caps so would probably cap it up but maybe not.

It's a little different method of intaking the goodies. The downside of course is quantity taken in. For a 20% strain, making CCO from the plant material means you'd reduce the amount consumed to 20% of total, vs the whole thing with dust.

So, depending on how much you need to consume, that could be a significant factor. I think the original RSO instructions called for ingesting the cannabinoids from a pound of plant material over the course of three months. I assume this CCO is similar dosing, and at that scale the much smaller quantity of oil is certainly easier to incorporate into one's daily diet.

@KingJohnC nailed it. De-hulled hemp seed for eating. Great in smoothies, on cereal, add to a nice pot of whole grain porridge oat, on top of a plate of spaghetti etc. Manitoba harvest doesn't seem to sell bulk lots to consumers so they are a lot more money. The local store was selling theirs in 227g pouches for $12 so $24/lb and I got mine for $9/lb and $11 for the protein powder. $20 for shipping but they gave me a $20 discount so shipping was free. Can keep for a few years in the freezer and I just refill a 1lb metal can for daily use. Nature's most perfect food.

The guys I get it from were the originators of the name Hemp Hearts but didn't copyright the name. When they went to court over the name it was ruled that it had become common and couldn't be protected.

If you don't live in one of the 4 western provinces then shipping would be more.

Wow that's a huge dose! You're right about how tolerance builds up so you can take doses that would put even a chronic pot smoker into a coma. Our friend that eventually died of breast cancer was taking a gram of RSO every evening. She still got high but by the time it kicked in it was her bedtime.

One problem is for those of us that drive. Here we have cops trained to recognize stoners of all drugs. DREs or Drug Recognition Experts. If the cop that stopped you thinks you are high then they hand you over to one of those guys who interviews you and if in his estimation you are high then he can demand a blood test. Even a light toker who hasn't smoked in days would fail as the limits are set so low. Same penalties as drunk driving and is a criminal charge.

Most of the time you are only eating 5 - 10mls for your dose of medicine so I'd think better extraction trumps the particular health benefits of your extraction oil. The more healthier oil can be eaten in other things like smoothies or recipes in much larger quantities.

For myself I'd probably go with MCT oil at 91%. One percent less than avocado oil isn't significant and I think the MCT is cheaper but it's pricey too.

I wish that chart included whole coconut oil as I've done a few batches of that. One batch was almost 2L of coconut oil. 1 tsp caught me a good buzz.

If extraction levels were not a concern which oil would you prefer to use?

To switch over your metabolism to efficiently use energy stores for fuel traditionally fasting or abstaining from foods for extended periods allows the body to burn its energy as available. This is the natural energy burning system of the body which additional sugars confuse the response. In the fasted state the body switches its metabolic system to burn and release energy which allows superior control over glucose levels in the blood.

I would use the infused Medium Chain Triglycerides oil in a fasted state and encourage an active lifestyle to re build your body's energy output capacity and health building and increasing your ability levels.

"Fasting is the abstention from eating and sometimes drinking. From a purely physiological context, "fasting" may refer to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight (see "Breakfast"), or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal."

Ok we have @Foods Alive Hemp Seeds. I eat them and don't know their value so much I guess. Not dehulled. Nick showed you the link.

They call them hulled rather than de-hulled but those are the same as the ones I get. The seeds are cracked and most of the outer shell is removed via mechanical process tho there are tiny bits and pieces still in the product.

Same price as the ones they used to sell at our local supermarket at $24/lb so almost 3X what I'm paying for mine in bulk at $9/b. When you eat 1/2 cup/day like I do that adds up fast.

I like to support local businesses and sponsors too but I'm surviving on a low budget, (old age pension only), and have to watch my food budget so I can spend more on fishing gear, rod building and fly tying supplies. When you don't have drinking for a hobby any more you have to fill your time with something positive.

I see they have a smoothie recipe on the back of their package. The one I made last night was a cup+ of kefir, 1/2 cup each of frozen cherries, strawberries, blueberries, hemp hearts, hemp protein powder, 2tbsps each of coconut sugar, oat bran, wheat germ, nutritional yeast, some Myco 10, (a multi mushroom and berries supplement) and some L-Glutamine. Then poured half of that over a cup of granola and that was my main meal for the day.

In the fasted state the body switches its metabolic system to burn and release energy which allows superior control over glucose levels in the blood.

My metabolism is always on high and I'm a bit hypoglycemic so need to keep my blood sugar a little higher but still in a healthy range as my insulin response is high so get shaky if it drops to low-normal. Did glucose testing and kept a food diary for 2 months while they tried to figure out why I have 'nap attacks' after eating during the day. Very annoying and they never did figure out for sure why it happens. Maybe chronic fatigue syndrome they say.

I would use the infused Medium Chain Triglycerides oil in a fasted state and encourage an active lifestyle to re build your body's energy output capacity and health building and increasing your ability levels.

The active lifestyle part is something I need to work on for sure. One of the reasons I got myself a little boat and go out fishing as much as I can between spring thaw and winter freeze up. Rowing around in the boat for a couple hours 3X or more a week instead of using the electric motor is a good workout for an old fart like me. I haven't even used the stinky 9.9 Johnson outboard motor I got with the boat yet so might sell that to help pay off the fishing gear.

We live on an acreage 10 miles from the nearest small town and there is no public transport so a car is not a luxury but a necessity. Not even Greyhound any more tho you would still have to get to town to catch the bus.

I don't do any sports stuff especially watching them on TV. My adult step-daughter has taken to watching football lately tho but that's on the TV in the living room and I have my own in the mancave right next to my new 27" computer monitor so don't have to even hear it.

As a minister of the Universal Life Church since my birthday in 1978 I wholly agree tho god doesn't need to be involved. Getting out in the boat for a few hours feeds my holistic side.

As I recall the dosage T recommended was 1G per day broken up into rice grain sized doses throughout the day, being sure to drink water regularly throughout day for the first 60 days at a min. Once things are clear medically, however long that takes, you may reduce to a maintenance dose of a grain of rice size as low as 3 time per day. The lb was based on an estimation of how much flower is required to produce 60g oil.

I am a christian gentleman who has experienced a miracle in my life.

I fasted, I prayed, I translated scripture between languages and pain left my body!

On Canada Day July 1 2017 after experiencing quadriplegia and tetraplegia I set a goal and walked half way from my home across the City of Winnipeg to my church parish while escorted by City of Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service , City of Winnipeg Police Services who assisted and monitored my health. While returning back home after walking all day long past sundown and being unable to continue I was escorted back to the road where I reside and allowed to continue on my own way to my home.

February 2021My health has improved remarkably, I no longer felt I needed an escort and could carry on myself and live independently again. I left my home and walked half way across the City of Winnipeg to pay a visit to my general physician for a check up and share the news on our progress together.

I crack open walnut shells with my hand strength!
I have type 2 diabetes and fast for extended periods of 40 days and 40 nights without food.

I live in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada where it is my liberty to use cannabis as medicine!

That makes sense as that would be around a 13% strain.
