Someone on Reddit just asked me a question, one that I’ve heard many times before in different ways, and my answer has always been “I don’t really know”. But the more I thought about it, the confuseder I got. The question was, “What’s the maximum amount of THC you can dissolve in vegetable oil (like […]
Now, my friends, is the time to buy buds and other fresh material. Why, you may ask? – because October and November is harvest time for outdoor cannabis plants, at least here in California. Using Leafly.com, Weedmaps, and the websites of individual dispensaries that we have visited previously and liked, we research who has what […]
This is a great response to my article, “How To Make Your Own Canna Caps”, that a reader known as Chuy left in the comments section, but I thought it was so good it deserved to be seen right here. I didn’t think you could cram so much potent goodness into one capsule! Nugs and hugs […]
As I previously wrote, a week or so ago I began some experiments to find out if infusing coconut oil with cannabis worked differently at different temperatures. Methodology Oil: 118°F, 140°F, 180°F, 220°F, 260°F, 300°F Each batch was made as identically as possible, using 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 0.5 grams decarbed weed (Super […]
It’s one of those questions that’s been disputed for years in cannabis circles: what’s the best temperature to use? Whether the subject in question is decarboxylating, making firecrackers, cannabis oil, or glycerin tincture, everyone seems to have a different opinion. Well, I have lots of opinions myself, but I prefer facts. So I decided to […]
This is a great time of year to shop at Costco if you’re a medical marijuana patient, especially if you want to get into cooking or making Canna Caps. First: they’re running a special coupon and mail-in rebate deal that gets you $15 off a Crock-Pot (6-quart size) that comes with the Little Dipper I […]
So, you want to know how to get through your day using cannabis, but without smoking, without vaping, and without getting too stoned to work? What you need, friend, are Canna Caps, which are made by extracting cannabinoids from ground medical marijuana into coconut oil. Once you start working with these, you will want to […]
I’ve been writing about my experiences of being a Medical Marijuana patient for two years now. I’ve often talked about the way I use cannabis: in small doses, not enough to get high, but enough to make a change. Suddenly (in the shower, of course!) a word came to me out of nowhere: microdose. I […]
Dear Old Hippie: I wanted to make some marijuana cooking oil. So I bought around a quarter ounce of weed and I ground all of it up. Then I put ¾ cup of canola oil in a pot and started to heat it. When it started to simmer, I put the weed in and added about […]
Many medical marijuana dispensaries sell Canna Caps, which has quickly become a generic name for any capsule filled with cannabis since its association with the groundbreaking work of Dr. Paul Hornby. Dr. Hornby’s original idea was for Canna Caps to have standardized doses of THC, and all ingredients tested for pesticides, heavy metals, and other […]
