Nice to hear you are making the bho pills. I used to make a batch of 24 with 3 grams of bho, mct oil and cornstarch. Way too strong but I made hundreds and people loved them.

I seal my container during the heating-decarb process, so I don't loose any essential trepenes and such.

Cool, but I prefer to monitor the temperature. If you keep it around 250 F nothing will be wasted...only when you get near 300. When you have the lid on, you do not know what the temperature of the oil mixture is. That is important to know how long to simmer for. I did it with the lid and cornstarch...the results were not as good or consistent. The cornstarch does not mix well with the oil and is a waste of time IMO. I just use the oil, suck it up with a syringe, fill and put in the freezer. Dosage is more consistent for me that way. The cornstarch is a waste when using BHO. The cornstarch works better to mix MCT oil and ground bud vs BHO. But I nor my patients want to swallow bud, the material can upset peoples stomachs. Crohn's and IBS patients do not need that. Plus you get "green burps".

These would be great for safe travel as well.
What a cool thread.

Thanks for sharing bro!

We do a similar thing which we call cannacaps.

It is QWET or BHO oil, mixed with coconut oil, but we then add enough corn starch to turn the mixture to silly putty, before stuffing the caps.

It is more stable and doesn't leak as easily.

For each 10 grams of oil, we add 3 grams of virgin unrefined coconut oil and it takes about 22 grams of corn starch to turn it into silly putty.

Unfortunately a 0.1 gram scale was not accurate enough to weigh out dosages, so I personally use a grain scale for measuring out powder.

One grain is about a standard pain relieving dose for a light tolerance patient and about three grains is a high tolerance pain relieving dose.

We still discobobulated an uber-sensitive volunteer test paitent with the light dosage, but our heavy tolerance patients were not discobobulated at 9 grains.

Note that a pain relieving dose is not necessarily the same as a ripited dose, so use the numbers with a grain of salt.

The strain also makes a big difference. The higher the CBD, the better the pain relief and the less likely the accompanying THC will be too speedy for some.

Glad to read that so many are in to the BHO! I have been making edibles for a little while, and I used a gram of BHO (in addition to reg. ganj oil)per dozen baked goods, or a gram per loaf of banana bread. Seemed to be the right dosage and everyone was happy with it.

I wanted to add though, living in the land of top-quality food and herb with many other health conscious and very tuned-in folks, that I have had a difficult time promoting goods or products with BHO. I have a lot of confidence that the way we make it contains virtually zero butane, however I have been asked about the carcinogenic properties of butane.

Butane is a carcinogen. I would feel ok with dosing myself, and other young whippersnappers with it... HOWEVER... since BHO is more of a medically oriented way to ingest thc, I just wanted to play the devil's advocate I guess, and at least hope that all of these BHO supporters on here are at the very least making an *informed* decision to ingest this product.

If someone is trying to heal from cancer, for example, the last thing you'd want to administer to them would be a carcinogenic gas residue! It has left people with mouth sores from smoking it, but I am not sure what the effects are from ingestion.

Butane is also toxic to the endocrine system, reproductive system, and stunts development to those not fully grown, among other issues.

One person commented on the taste of butane burp after ingesting pills. YIKES! I would think that if you can taste it, then the butane remains?. Any BHO we have made has not had that residual taste.

Maybe actually smoking the BHO may alter the chemical in a more harmful way, maybe eating it does not do as much (if any) harm. If anyone knows what the difference between eating and smoking it, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to know. In the meantime, I have shelved my BHO and concentrate on making the highest potency organic oils that I can.

Safety First,
