    SweetSue's Cannabis Oil Study Hall

    Hey all! It’s been a while since I last visited with various life stuff going on but I’m back and keener than ever on plant products. It’s been over a year since I smoked but have been working with vape and edible oils/butters. I have been using coconut oil and lecithin so far to make an...

    Haha, yes! The more I stirred the cloudier it got and I did start to wonder if it'd ever go back. I know oils only like to mix with other oils unless there's an emulsifier in the mix so I had (some) faith it'd be ok eventually..... I looked again this morning and it's unchanged from last night...

    For sure. I’m not certain what abv everclear is but anything that’s not alcohol will be water so that may be the only issue. I imagine the water would evaporate off pretty easily with a little heat and leave the evoo as it was except for all the extract trapped inside it, so no real problem...

    It works! Really well in fact. Using 25ml of ISo alc and 1g ground and decarbed bud I made a tincture and filtered it, I ended up with 21ml, then added it to 25ml evoo. After it was stirred up the colour got paler and it looked slightly milky and no longer transparent. I stirred for 5mins then...

    I like the decarbs that keep the bud in a sealed container, either vac sealed and done ‘boil in the bag’ style or the roasting bag method mentioned above (somewhere!) The Iso alc I have is 99.9% alcohol so in theory if it’s all evaporated off it should leave nothing but any water that’s been...

    Just thinking out loud...... Would it work well to use isopropyl alcohol and EVOO? First decarb the crumbled buds then soak them in the iso for a few mins. Add the EVOO and leave it somewhere warm and out the way to allow the iso to evaporate off on its own..... Hopefully the low temp and low...

    To oil or not to oil?

    Welcome! First of all you need to tell us why you're using weed in the first place (recreational, pain relief, PTSD....etc) and what your best possible outcome would be (pain free, relaxed, destress, beat cancer......etc) If smoking is not working for you then a clearly dosed vape may be worth a...

    Cannabis grow and music

    A friend of mine used to talk and sing to his plants while he was in the tent with them as he said it made them grow bigger and continued to do this for many years. We talked about it one day and came to the only scientific conclusion (and a whole lot of stoner BS LOL) that exhaling lots of...

    Hey boys n girls! I stumbled across these 2 websites while researching last night, the first helps to explain some of the differences between the carrier oils, how fast they're absorbed and what oils can be swapped if you dont have something to hand. The second seems to go into further detail...

    Interesting, I admire your dedication to the research! I always assumed and not through any research based evidence, that it was the eyes become dry that caused the redness. I’m sure dry mouth and dry eyes must be linked in some way, maybe it’s a particular terpene that causes it?

    I believe THC will always act the same on its own, it's the associated cannabinoids and terpenes that cause the 'effects' of the stone. Early harvest seems to make the end product more racy with some paranoia thrown in but it can be reduced with curing time..... I think all the classics (red...

    You’re very welcome, it’s nice to be able to give something back to 420 as I’ve taken a hell of a lot over the last 6 weeks. Owning a Nutribullet has made nut milks a breeze for me, making your own is certainly the way forward and save quiet a bit of money too, never mind avoiding all the extra...

    SweetSue's Cannabis Oil Study Hall

    Yep, they're very handy indeed, allowing the alcohol to easily flow in and out but trapping most of the plant matter and stopping it clogging up the filters so quickly. There seem to be many different mesh grades too.... Haha, yes, thank you I know! I just feel I should be a little clued up...

    Just wanted to pass on a very handy accessory I've made use of with the last few batches of oil. These mesh bags really help control the amount of plant matter escaping into the filter and are super cheap with so many uses.
