High potency edibles

When using flowers to make an alcohol tincture (which could be transferred to coconut or MCT oil) does anyone have experience making strong gummies?

If I have to eat a handful of gummies to be medicated it may not be a great idea for me.

I am an experienced tincture maker. Edibles too. But I have never made gummies, I even made isomalt hard candies. Just no gummies.

Seems to me you could add tincture to hot gummy liquid, and much of the alcohol will evaporate (170 degrees F). Even if some ethyl alcohol gets incorporated, I can't see the harm. I guess it "boils down" to estimating tincture strength.

I would probably start with 5 random flavors, looking dangerous and tasty, I will definitely try my take on the recipe, thanks for sharing!

back pain is cured by edibles..sooo... added 0.45gr of Bubble Hash ABV to my yogurt...about an hour ago... damn it's such a different good high after my last edible was like 2-3 months....

Welcome to the club.

the-hashish-eaters-club

In the turbulent 1840s, several French aristocratic intellectuals rebelled against the bourgeois moral code and formed Club Des Hashischins, or the Hashish Eaters Club. Members included authors, painters, poets, writers, medical researchers and other brilliant minds who met once a month at Hôtel Pimodan on Île Saint-Louis in the heart of Paris, France. The participants, who often wore costumes, started by eating a North African hashish edible and proceeded to engage in music, feasting, socializing and enlightened discussion. The Hashish Eaters Club, which met from 1844 to 1849, ultimately helped inspire important artistic works, cannabis-related studies and the Decadent Movement writers in England.

man, that was too strong for me. i became a bit paranoid and went to bed fell a sleep, woke up so hungry, 0.45gr of hash ABV is too much... the hash being heated with convection devices, it still had some oil inside of it probably..... i won't go over 0.30gr next time

If the hash was decarbed it should be in the neighborhood of 500mg of thc per gram. So 45mg (.45x500) is roughly 225mg.

I use 25-50mg or 1/10th as a normal dose. Lol

It's hash ABV... Vaporizing took a lot of its goodies....
I would never eat 0.45gr after decarb...that's insane

How long does it take until you have to increase the dose? (Tolerance) And does it work on a daily basis?

I don't eat edibles on a daily basis because it makes me crave junk food/chocolate..but if the pain will come back maybe I'll microdose cannasugar in some way... will try it...

Usually I took avb orally for parties. It lasts for many hours and you don't feel the need to drink alcohol. But its like impossible to hit the correct dosage

you can calculate it somehow if gram of ABV has around 30 to 50 mg of THC, and you calculate the sugar amount (if you make cannasugar infused ABV)
like 4gr of ABV for 30gr of brown sugar.. 160mg THC for 30gr then in 1gr of sugar you've got 5.33mg of THC

you need like 5gr of the sugar for your first party, then you'll know if it's enough or not

Recipe:
Mix in some medium-big bowl 4gr of ABV and Ethanol 96%, not too much Ethanol... and mix it when together... for few minutes... maybe around 100ml of Ethanol but don't catch me on the amounts... something that is between low amount and too much amount....
make another small-medium bowl of 30gr brown sugar
pour the ABV+Ethanol over a Coffee Filter/Paper Towel over the bowel of the sugar
then you have sugar+ethanol, the ABV is not going through the filter

evaporate the Ethanol using the methoid of Bain Marie or Electric stove, evaporate all the Ethanol.... you've got a strong brown sugar....

*I saw a lot of people saying ABV has around 3-5% of THC.. so I'll take it as 4%...
*Coffee filter is not a must for making cannasugar, Paper Towels work too, but in my experience Coffee filter is much efficient.
*If you have time, mix it even 5 minutes+, let the Ethanol take all the goodiez

I was going to mention "le club des hashihins", before getting moderated and called a racist by mentionning i was "French" to talk about hash..


For the non "short-minded pothead" who like some knowledge :

The club have been created after Napoleon bring back cannabis, as "war treasure". Same way as it was introduce back, in USA, after the Vietnamese War..

Its consomation, in that era, was only eaten, "Dawamesc".


Cannabis was first eaten from east sufi Haydar, 13th century, from pakistan. or western "beurre de Marrakech" from Morrocan kiff area.

The club was created by a Medical doctor ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques-Joseph_Moreau ). for medical study first and "market" perspective then.
But it was closed few years after.
The reason ? the participants (as "Victor Hugo", well known social philosopher/writer, from which come disney "hunchback of notre dame"). they didn't wanted to "dream" all day.
But the real reason was they were all already Opium addict...
Opium rulling the market since ancient greek era (the first "vaporizer" come from there, Opium was inhaled way before christ birth..). When cannabis flower were too low in cannabinoid.
They stop Hash importation to focus only on Opium. Even if Hash succeeded to concentrate the "potency"..

It vanished Before it came back after magrheb war (not vietnamese one for frenchies..) in the 60's.

I keep sharing knowledge, as people, as @shredder , help me to make my "golden cream" ( iso-feco, fried in MCT oil, to add then lemon+lecithin). How to make high potency with reclaim+ABV.

"Potency" is always a ruler of the market, but i would prefer to see "Taste", to be, in the next decades.. we're no more in opium wars..

Thanks,
Shadooz...

From Google:
Even though there was no evidence to support claims that marijuana had a Jekyll-and-Hyde effect, 29 states outlawed marijuana between 1916 and 1931. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 essentially banned it nation-wide despite objections from the American Medical Association related to medical usage.

Cannabis was not introduced after the Vietnam War.

If flower vapes harsh or is to speedy is it worth extracting? Michigan dispo flower is often not cured with love and I've got a growing reject pile (I can't believe I'm writing that)

Still worth it, yes.

If it's too racy you can control that by dosage or mixing it with another not so speedy herb.

It has occurred to me avb might work great for that.

Thank you

you can also add some CBD to calm things down.

I need to make a new batch of tincture. I'm shooting for 10 mg THC a drop. There are 590 drops to a fluid oz. I'm making 2 ounces. I put 15 grams of concentrate with a combined total of 12,289 mg THC in a small lab beaker and microwaved it at 1 minute intervals until the concentrate is liquefied. I then put it in my Herboven at 300 degrees for an hour. I'll check it in a half hour to see if big bubbles are still being made, indicating the THCA is still releasing CO2 to become activated THC.


15 grams after 6 1-minute attempts to melt in microwave. Finished melting on hot plate. 12,289/(2 x 590) = 10.4 per drop

Ready for consumption

I warmed the Everclear on the hot plate to facilitate combining.

How are you planning to use the tincture?

Is it thin enough at room temperature that you can use an eyedropper?

My strongest infusions are roughly 1/2 of that.

Edited Quantity
It is liquid. It's approx 16-17 ML melted concentrate plus alcohol to make 60 ML total (2 oz). I've read (on the internet, no less) that you can dissolve 1 gram to one ml alcohol, but I think it would be mighty thick. I'm able to use dropper even when I store it in fridge. It does tend to settle, so I shake it before I administer a drop.

I use a chopstick to make a little indentation in chocolate chip cookie before baking and put a drop or two (do you want 10mg cookies or 20 mg cookies).

In any baking product that has discrete servings: muffins, scones, etc..

A couple drops on any sandwich.

Often, I'll take ten drops on a spoon about an hour and a half before bedtime. That and listening to the 1st Episode of Ken Burn's The Civil War puts me to sleep. They are soporifics!

1 gram of decarbed concentrate to 15ml of 190 ethanol was the base recipe from PSam on Grasscity site. I’ve tried 10ml to 1 gram and it’s okay. But I did a 5ml on a mistake batch, and it was GRIT all over my teeth and mouth, as sublingual. If using for baking or gummies, it would not matter.

My new favorite gummy mold clocks in at 4 ml ea. Here is a photo of two gummies, both bubblegum. The difference in size is the result of air drying. The larger, newly made gummy weighs 4.78 grams. The smaller gummy, air dried for a few days weighs 3.06 grams. They both have 40-45 mg of THC ea. There is a coating of powdered sugar on the older one. I hate to have to use two hands to nab one gummy.

I'm getting ready to SnowBird my way to Palm Springs. I made some gummies in the 35 to 45 mg THC range for my sojourn. I may have gotten over-zealous. Everyone needs a hobby.
