BadKat's CannaPharm: Canna Caps, UV Reactive GLOWING Hash Candy, Canna 'Bombs' & more - Page 8 - Cooking With Cannabis - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Quick, basic questions for either the remarkable BadKat or for other experienced pilgrims. I am in the process of making hash caps - maiden voyage. Today was the best day for me to get down and do it - unfortunately my Whole Foods (ah! Whole Foods) only had lecithin granules. I dissolved the granules in the coconut oil prior to adding it to the kief but (either for quick responders of for next time), I was wondering what the proper protocol is. The granules dissolve so I don't know whether it's better to just add the granules to the hash/oil and then figure that they will dissolve through the rest of the process or to do what I did...

2) Desiccant - I'm presuming that the desiccant sachet is to be added to the finished pill bottle but I'm not sure if one is supposed to keep the sachet in the pill bottle or to remove it - particularly because I intend to freeze the capsules. Unless, of course, I'm wrong and the desiccant sachet is only for the empty capsules to keep them from expanding before use. Also, any thoughts as to whether these should be stored in fridge or freezer?

3) - I'm curious...doesn't the oil/hash mixture in the oven (twice during the recipe process) for 40 minutes at 220 decarb? Why do the initial decarbing? Particularly because I'm using kief, not bud/trim, that was extracted from well-cured bud? I realize the importance of decarbing - it's just seems to me that the two after mixing might obviate the need for the initial decarb. I did the initial decarb at any rate but have a theoretical curiosity.

Anyhow...thanks for this amazing and knowledge-packed thread and the subsequent contributions.

Amazing stuff BadKitty, this is the best info on edibles I've ever had the good fortune to come across. You rock!

Just thought I'd drop in and share the news, look who made the front page of High Times....

I was so busy with patient and caregiver group meetings and the festival circuit last year, and then fell pretty ill for the better part of winter, hopefully I'll be able to make a little more time for the forums in the near future.

Hope everyone's having a lot of success, good health, and fun with their oil!

Have cancer and was on opiates for a long time.
Switched to cannabis and there are times when I go through more and times less.
Was once blessed with an MD who really cared, and her thought was, that I should try to keep the amounts as low as possible, but to try to keep the levels even.
You asked about dosage levels, not real sure what to say here. Yes, at times the amounts seem large. The same is true when using opiates. I know which I feel better about. I always felt bad when I had to up my dosage of opiates- I never feel that way when I have to increase my dose of cannabis.
Everything I saw in your post made me feel like you are on the right track.

I have to wonder what Badkitty was in a previous life. Such impressive attention to detail with everything.

Gry, so much cancer in this world, sorry to hear. Have you heard of successful cures with dandelion root powder? (Of course in conjunction with mmj oil

) The Chinese have used it for treating cancer & liver disease to name two. It also boosts the immune system.
The beauty is that it grows everywhere. I dig up my own & prepare it myself. In the 5years that I've been taking a 7-10 day course of drp (just half a tsp a day) every 3 months, I haven't caught a cold or flu (touch wood

)
I'm sorry I can't link but google 'dandelionrootpowdercancertuto r' which will take you to a web-site with the story by George Cairns. Worth the read.
Good luck.

Thanks for the informative post BKS

I've tried making canna candy but theres a step i miss...
When i try to mix caramel and coconut oil/hash they dont mix evenly and remain in a separate solution. Where did i do wrong?
