Coconut oil and Blue Dream

Living in a recent recreationally legal state has allowed me to branch out a bit since I have a steady supply now. Giving some edible cannabis a try!

Ingredients:
-750mg of cannabis; Blue Dream, reported THC percentage approx 13%
-10 mL of full spectrum, cold pressed coconut oil.

Method:
-oil and small pyrex heated in oven at 250d F until all are uniformly even-temp, 10 minutes to be safe.
-finely chopped cannabis added in quickly and mushed about until fully immersed, then back into the oven!
-cook for 35 minutes total; slow bubbles of decarb noted at approx 25 minutes.
-chill immediately in freezer to lock the reaction down

Idea: this ideally would yield 10 doses of 10mg orally active THC. Dose size is small; approx 1 mL ea.

I will report back re: efficacy. As always, questions/comments/concerns are welcome. Have a good one you guys.
 
Blue Dream is wonderful medicine. Personally I find it harder and harder and more and more physically uncomfortable to take Cannabis orally. Perhaps something has changed in my internal organs that deal with it, but it is no longer a pleasurable experience like it used to be. Smoking and vaping are still great and work well. Hopefully one day this will change as I did like ingesting the medicine orally and have become really good at making canna butter and canna coconut oil infusions. Enjoy the medicine.
 
What parameters do you use Mitakuye? This is new territory for me, and the cannabis cookin' guides/recipes I read online are not very evidence based or analytical in their tek methodology as this forum... as far as I have seen.

I kinda slap-dashed my way through it based on my extremely limited chemistry understanding and reading research on extractions and carboxylation temp vs/terpene evap temps.

From your remarks, is THC the problem? Having somebody else vape it (removing THC, but not much CBD) might be a path for you? That's how I make fudge for my friends...
 
Man from Chan Chan - I've actually had worse (more uncomfortable) physical effects from making canna butter and canna oil from post vaped cannabis, so I do not think THC is the problem. I am a lightweight on Cannabis and always have been. I have always seen this as a good thing as I can smoke/vape less than others and get just as high, so it conserves the stash I have. Even getting really high on THC via smoking or vaping has never really caused much if any physical discomfort or nausea, but orally in the past few years has. I have actually had to lay down in bed or take a long hot shower to try to shake off the effects of oral Cannabis on more than one occasion - both with THC and the post vaped remains made into edibles.

HC & No Knowing - BadKat's Recipes are great and I more or less have done what she suggests. I like using a low cooker ceramic crock pot and start on low to infuse cannabis into the coconut oil. Then once it reaches its highest temp I use a candy thermometer to see that the liquid temp is. If its not high enough I will crank it up to high and monitor it to make sure it does not get too hot. Then I filter the hot oil through cheesecloth or a clean cotton shirt to separate herb from oil and if it needs any further filtering a coffee filter is usually enough with the oil still warm. You will need to weigh your starting herb material and guess on the potency in order to figure out how much oil you want to use in order to end up with your end product. That way you have at least guestimated the potency of the finished product per ml of finished oil.
 
Sorry to hear that, Mitakuye, it sounds pretty tough.

I assume your GI tract is pretty happy and clean?
 
As far as I know, it is. I wonder if perhaps my liver or kidney is not processing things at the speed that it used to in my youth. As long as I can still smoke and vape I am happy. Concentrates like Absolute shatter and honey oil are fantastic!
