Commercially Made Edibles

I'm guessing that they have samples tested at a lab for percent THC.
Then it's a simple weigh and multiply equation...
I'm simply guessing.
I'd eat half of the thing if I were you.

i emailed them once to see if they used bho in there recipe, no reply...i took that as a yes..
sad really
if i buy edibles at a d now i always make sure they use ganja butter or bubble hash or keef

^ Why is bho in your edibles a big no no?

Should be no difference if properly made and purged.

That's a big if!

Super big if but theoretically still true or is there no scientific basis?
Butane is one of the cleanest solvents next to propane. If you are saying the impurities are mercaptans than i understand but if not, what other impurities are there? Once you cook your bho into something wouldnt the butane just purge off super fast in your oven if there was any left? Makes no sense to me but i am no scientist.

When cooking with BHO one usually decarboxylates the oil at a high temp (180-220F) in order to activate the thc orally. Since butane boils at around 32F, the high heat from the dacarb process also purges off most of the butane, so there should be little to none left in most properly made bho edibles.
To the OP, I would bet they mix in BHO with a known THC% and fraction out the dosages from there. Or they might just use the raw weight of the BHO per chocolate as your dosage amount.

edibles made from BHO taste WAY better than edibles made from flowers or hash. I know lots of "processed" foods use butane as solvent as well. I remember reading something about making chicken nuggets, it involved butane. Not saying that it is healthy for you, but I imagine we already eat foods that use this method all the time.

Indeed, butane is considered non toxic and is used as a propellant in most nonstick cooking sprays.
Alot of the suggested doses IMO are false one would have to get the oil, hash, flower/trim tested after its been decarboxylated then each edible would have to have an exact amount of oil, hash, flower/trim added for you to be able to accuratly say they contain a certain amount of cannabinoids. Most edibles are made in large batches and are inconsistent Imo. Individually filled and wieghed capsules are the best way to accuratly know your dosage, I like to make my capsules with 1:1 ratio of decarboxylated qwet oil or absolute amber to organic coconut oil. My capsules usually contain 100mg - 300mg of decarbed oil and are very strong, most of the time too strong. Anyone planning on conusimg bho orally I suggest to wash and winterize it with 190 proof ethanol to remove residual solvents from the intitial butane extraction along with plant waxes, lipids and fats, this is called an absolute. If you want to avoid butane all together, but still want to have super strong edibles then just do quick wash ethanol extraction on low quality bubble hash or kief for a very a potent safe to consume oil.

I am glad that I came back to this suggestion. I have been making Bad Kitty's Hash Caps, but they really are not strong enough. Now that I have EtOH, I think this is a great idea, thanks.
The QWET I made is SAP. This seems like it would take a long time to digest. Are you heating the coconut oil and hash to mix it together? Do you decarb before or after the extraction?

A form of butane (TBHQ) is a food preservative. I'd be more worried about smoking than eating IMO.

the butane used to make most bho is no good in food, that's the bottom line
IF purged properly ya it could be ok, but as a rule edibles makers should use extracts from other processes than bho...
that seems to be the rule around my neck of the woods

Glad im not the only one, they work ok but brownies seem to work a lot better. I have to eat 3/4 gram of dry ice hash for a 4 hour buzz...
ive made bad kity caps they were strong as hell , I eat my bho/qwiso/ qweth if i decarb em , safe of safer than dabbin imo, I thin flim vac purge over heat ,.... I gotta say very lil to no solvent in my extract I would think , Ive recently been making home made cheeba chews , outta tootsie rolls and oil. strong enough if u want to seee the devil!
