I live in a legal state and occasionally enjoy using concentrate vape cartridges I get from local dispensaries. These are operated by a slim, pen like battery. I have noticed that after a lot of use (multiple times over a month) that even if I take many puffs, I am getting a weak effect. Yet I...

I will soon be taking a cruise out of Seattle to Alaska (I will be driving to Seattle from another legal state). I have done a bit of online research and am getting conflicting info. Has anybody RECENTLY (last six months to a year) been able to successfully bring cannabis aboard a cruise ship...

Yes, I know there are lots of threads about making solventless hash oil rosin, but I can't seem to sort through this to find the info I need. FYI, some background. I have severe and chronic asthma and do not smoke. I am also taking a break from vaping, as that may also have been troublesome for...

"When I'm 64", the Beatles sang. Still 63 until next year!

I am a moderate to severe adult-onset, non-allergic asthmatic. When I started about 5 plus years ago using cannabis for my chronic insomnia (I have since developed chronic pain which I also use it for) I knew smoke was a non-starter...even second hand smoke makes my lungs spasm. After one...

I have been hearing about the wonders of CBD for the last few years...especially for pain and seizure relief. Now I have chronic pain from spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease in my lower spine. I typically vape or consume tinctures, coconut oil, random edibles with THC...

Because I have serious lung issues I avoid smoking and am always looking for new ways to medicate. I am also trying to keep my tolerance down as I have to medicate daily for insomnia and chronic pain. Typically, I use a flower vape pen. I also use tincture and coconut oil I make. Once in a...

My spine has stenosis, osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. I also have osteoporosis and am a severe asthmatic with a long history of oral predisone use during extended (six weeks or more) flare-ups. I have also had avascular necrosis in one hip, resulting in a hip replacement and...

Hi MrNaturalAZ: Opps! I meant to type GRAMS, not ounces. Sorry. Senior moment. And I was NOT medicated when I typed it. Cheers!

This is my second posting on the Magical Butter. I wrote an earlier review about making an ETOH-based tincture with it. On November 29, 2014, I made a batch of herb-infused coconut oil with my new Magical Butter device. It was my second experiment with the cooker. On 11/9/14, I made an alcohol...

Hi CarolKing: I used about 20.7 grams...two different indica strains. I am in Oregon and a legal patient...of course as of July 1 next year...everyone's legal here!!!:)

Thanks SasNW....I finally figured the light was just reflecting on the one next to it. I would probably design the buttons so it is a bit less confusing...and bigger buttons that are easier to hit! Here's my report on the experience: On Sunday afternoon I decided I finally had enough herb on...

This is a question...hope someone is around to answer. I just set up my Magical Butter and have all the ingredients inside it for an ETOH based tincture. I hit the temperture button and then the 160 button...but the one to the right of it (a higher temp) seems to be lit as well. Did I do...

Today I made my second batch of coconut oil. I made my first batch several weeks ago using trim, and a tiny amount of concentrate. I used a saucepan and kept the heat around 250 for about 90 minutes. It turned out quite well. Success. But today I used about the same amount of plant material and...

Hi Everyone: Thank you all for the feedback!! FYI, back in SoCal a few years ago, I tried tinctures from several sources. For some reason I GOT ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECTS. Perhaps I was using it wrong?! Or it just doesn't work for me. Here in Oregon, sometime in the last year, I made my own tincture...
