Gold Caps, from the makers of Pure Gold

Normally I prefer vapor over edibles because I find them to be a bit debilitating... but I also have a high tolerance and always buy the strongest edible available so maybe that contributes

However I have a newfound need of them since I will soon be going on a many hour plane trip... I'm pretty sure an omicron in the carry-on has a pretty good chance of making it through undetected but post-9/11 everything is a risk if you get randomly searched...

In comes Gold Caps, I've seen pills available in CA dispensaries for a while but these are by Tetralabs so they should be very very pure and each one should be exactly the same. Even though the highest dosage is only 25mg people say one is enough for light-tolerance and two will satisfy those with higher-tolerances, we'll find out soon enough as I took two about 10 minutes ago. (They're as expensive as PureGold though each 25mg pill is $5...)

I'm just hoping a pair of these 25mg'ers will be enough for the whole nine hour flight, don't worry about how I'll get them aboard, options abound...

Anyone have any experience/recommendations with these or other thc pils?

only the ones i made for a flight. mixed reclaim from oil rig with coconut oil and a bit of lecithin on a warm pie plate and filled some vitamin caps i had emptied.
it was strong as hell and lasted into the next day.

50min in so far, and while I do like how they have a sativa-like feeling, not drowsy at all, I do wish they were a bit stronger... I'll wait another 40min before vaping to see if they intensify at all...

I think I might have to try three next time

Edit: 2 hours in and I decided to vape
Two caps got me close and I have a huge tolerance so not bad imo, I think 3 in a comfortable setting would be really nice.

For the flight, I think I'll take three but start with two to be safe, I can totally relate to SM's post about learned tolerance... and an airport/plane is probably going to intensify things...

I am excited to see more poeple get their hands on one. I think poeple will be pleased. My tolerance is pretty high. I go though about 2 grams a day sometimes more. The PAX get me to the level of medicated I desire. Sometimes it surprised me how medicated I can get when in public. This is easily attributed to something called Learned Tolerance:

Learned Tolerance
Practicing a task under the influence of a substance increases the speed with which the person develops tolerance. Doing something while under the influence increases the rate at which the alcohol has a diminished effect on performance. The heavy drinker who functions normally when quite intoxicated is an example of this phenomenon.

Learned and environment-dependent tolerance can have important consequences when a person drinks and drives. Repeatedly driving the same route after ingesting low levels of alcohol could improve performance by helping tolerance to develop more rapidly. On the other hand, a driver who has ingested the same amount of alcohol but is driving a new route could lose any tolerance learned, resulting in a diminished ability to drive effectively.

This is also why heroine addicts will end up killing themselves with a dose that they can normally handle. They end up shooting up in a strange place and it affects them more. Another good example of this is the study they can do using Mice. They will put two mice in a red colored room. They will build the tolerance of both mice up to a very high dose of heroine or amphetamine. Then they will take one of the cages and switch the wall color from red to something else, say green. They will give them the same dose they have become "used to". Often times the one that has had the room color switched will overdose. It is a very very interesting concept.

I learned this concept in a Psychology class in college. When the professor finished explaning the concept, someone raised their hand. The student asked... "So, if I study for the test high, then I should come to class and take the test high?" The professor said... "Well, yes."

Anyway it applies to me because I am used to medicating using my OCD methods. When I medicate in public the change of surroundings can make me feel "higher" off the same amount I would use at home. So sometimes when I am not in my normal environment the PAX can surprise me with how medicated I get. I have even stopped the session 3/4th of the way through because I felt like I head reached a comfortable level of pain/ocd relief.

I have it on good authority that stoner comedian Doug Benson (Super High Me) uses gold caps on a regular basis

I also found taking just one normal cap didn't have quite enough oomph. For me three wasn't too strong but much more of a typical heavy edibles high. Without as much couch lock for sure.

I liked these more than YAK brand hash capsules and Mother Nature's hash capsules at some other dispensaries, but those are usually cheaper

Another thing you could try is to make some mothers milk. I use a crock pot and steep like 1 cup of milk in like 5-8 grams off finely ground flowers. I keep mixing it up whenever I walk by it. I usually let it steep for like 24 hours. I strain the flowers out. I mix that with chocolate milk or Yoohoo. You can drink that right before you enter the airport, or as your are waiting in line for security. It should hit you in 30 minutes. It is really strong and lasts for a pretty long time. You could then take some Gold Caps to prolong everything and make it the 9 hours. The Mother Milk Yoohoo worked better when you could bring liquids on board. I would bring two with me. Drink one at the gate, and then one half way through the flight. Those were some comfortable flights. Really helped take the edge off. I hate flying...

There is another thing you can do if you want to boost/prolong your medicated feeling, and it does not require anything but a breathing exercise. Breathe in as deep as you can, like you are taking a HUGE rip off a water pipe. Fill your lungs with as much oxygen as possible. When you think you have reached your max, try and use your diaphragm to pull just a little more air in. Hold it for 10-12 second or longer. Don't hold it too long though, you don't want to get dizzy. Then exhale like you would if you hit a water pipe. I find that it helps me. The big breath in gets you a huge dose of oxygen to you blood. Holding it in causes your heart rate to increase making the oxygen circulate faster through your system. When you exhale you should have a little rush as the oxygen is coursing through your system. I also find what ever medical effects I am under are amplified for a short period of time (Like 5-10 minutes).

Hope those things help.

I'm wary of these capsules. I've had decent experiences with them, but they have been hit-or-miss for the most part. The first time I took capsules, it was great. I had a nice mellow buzz for about 5 hours. The second time I didn't feel anything at all (same dosage). The third (and last) time was a white knuckle ride from hell. I was one day into a trip in S. America and had a very hard time keeping it together for a good 8 hours.

These were NOT the pure gold caps, but were purchased from a dispensary. So maybe the PG stuff has more accurate dosing and the white-knuckle trips are avoidable. I don't know. Testing in advance is a good idea, though.... so you're smart for doing that.

Yeah I've definitely been there, edibles can be ridiculously variable even ones that say they have the same doses...

The puregold brand caps's seem a lot more like percription medicine to me, they aren't too strong at all, and if they are consistent I should be able to take three without jumping off the deep end... I'll find out later today!

I sent in copy of my doc letter and ID and Tetra Labs never hit me back. Not really feeling that they have my info and never fulfilled their part of the deal. Still waiting to hear back from em b4 my recommendation expires.

Im pretty sure you cannot get it directly from them. they aren't a dispensary

So a local dispensary tested their gold caps. The results were less then stellar:

Potency Profile

• < 0.01% ∆9-THC-A
• 48.04% ∆9-THC
• < 0.01% ∆8-THC
• < 0.01% CBN
• 48.04% THC-TOTAL
• < 0.01% CBD-A
• < 0.01% CBD
• < 0.01% CBD-TOTA
• 48.04% ACTIVATED-TOTAL

That is a far cry from the %87 they say the product has on their own website.
