Hi group,
I live in the Toronto area in Ontario, Canada. While legalization occurred a couple of years ago, I have been indoor growing for 7-8 years now. I produced my first outdoor (legal) grow of 4 plants last year with outstanding results.
I've done a lot of research over the years on growing methods, non-chemical past control, cloning, decarboxilating, making butter and tincture, as well as making gummy bears.
After my introduction, I will create my first post on decarboxilating cannabis. I haven't read any threads as yet, so my information will likely have been previously posted by others, but it never hurts to have confirmation from others regarding best practices.
I mostly smoke and use my tincture. I find I have to take too many edibles to have them take affect well, to the point where it isn't economically feasible. From the research I've done, it's very possible the culprit is a supplement I take called N-acetyl L-cystine (NAC) that I started to take because it promotes the formation of glutathione. Anyway, there seems to be something that cuts off the stomach-to-brain barrier that doesn't occur when taking through the lungs (smoke) or into the bloodstream (tincture). Since I enjoy the health benefits of NAC (I haven't been sick in 3 years since I began taking 1000mg/day), I'll have to be happy without edibles. I make them for other people, for enjoyment and/or pain relief.
I have 2 'patients' in their 80's who take my gummies every day for pain relief. One takes 1/3 of one before bed, while the other takes 1/2 bear, twice a day.
I'm always interested in new techniques that can help increase yields and create a better quality smoke.
