Well, after doing some reading on FC, trying to figure out the dosage, I ate some ABV the other day, for the first time.
From the info I had seen here it seemed that one good dose would range somewhere between half a gram to one gram of ABV.
I measured out a gram & it looked like way too much. So I cut it to .80g. This still looked like too much so I reduced it to .60g. -about one teaspoon (I vape at low temps, usually 160 -165C, hardly ever more that 180C. So my ABV should be more potent than most)
I melted some coconut oil in a small pot, added the ABV (chunky- not powdered or ground), stirred it up a bit & took it off the heat. I let it cool down & it filled 12 medium sized capsules. I think I used too much coconut oil - the caps looked to be about 50/50 ABV to oil. I would have hoped to have less oil, more ABV in each cap.
I licked the pot to get the little that was left, it probably would have filled half a capsule. I pocketed the 12 capsules & jumped on my bike for a ride. I'm pretty sure I started feeling some effects 20 minutes later - just from licking the leftovers in the pot. I was going to eat all 12 caps but decided to try 9 for the time being.
I'm glad I didn't eat them all. It came on quickly & pleasantly within half an hour. An hour later I was flyin' but in a very good way, not at all out of control. I was nicely stoned for about 6-7 hours before it began to taper off.
So my dose, because I only consumed 9 of the 12 capsules, was about .45 grams of lightly used ABV. I may have a lower tolerance than most - but .45g was plenty for me & I'm glad I didn't eat the entire .60g that I'd prepared. I'll have to try the 3 leftover caps sometime soon- & see what that does.
