I usually make Canna Coconut Oil.

1 ounce of 20% weed into 1 pound of Coconut Oil.

You can easily use two ounces.

I use 1/4 pound of CannaCocoNut for Oil for a batch of 25 cookies

To take away the toxic effects of the solvent, I suggest using alcohol distilled using a hobby still at home. It's food grade without harmful toxins. You get all the medicinal benefits of the concentrated extract without worrying about possible residual poisons. I believe this would be more therapeutic than the cannabis butter.

hobby still!?? What is that? you have a link.. OH 1st post:
Seems to me that alcohol (very flammable) and a still (very hot) might be a little dangerous.
Tell me/us more.

Countertop distillers are around $250 and work well. Similar footprint to a coffee maker but about twice as tall. Plug and play. A google search for airstill will show the one I use.
I use one to recycle the alcohol produced with yeast and sugar for co2.
It takes several cycles through the still, and lots of time, but the resulting 95 proof alcohol makes very nice oil.

LUCKILY it has not affected her like one would think. she is her same old normal self, she just has to take RX meds to control seizures in her sleep (the whole reason we even found the tumor). But shes a normal 29 yr old girl, hanging with her, you would never know...

That being said, I have been a member on here since 05' and was an avid member of overgrow before ICmag...been doin this a while, but thats besides the point...

medical has JUST been introduced in our state within this last year. she has her card and is able to buy full flower extracted oil pills from the dispensary. she is taking 400 bucks worth of these capsules a month, when in reality, to shrink/eradicate a brain tumor, it would be more in the line of $5,000 a month worth of medicine! so needless to say, I am going to be devoting alot of herb to making our own medicine, which will be better quality than what the state is producing...

I have been doing weeks worth of research, the one major medical op. in our state is using grain alc. the other is using coconut oil. but both are just singling out either THC, or CBD...id rather make full flower, full SPECTRUM meds, with 60 plus known canabinoids, probly more.

The biggest road block im running into is this "is RSO just an older approach to healing cancer with cannabis? or is heavily infused coconut oil, using straight top tier flower going to fail in comparison to ol' Rickys method?

I need to blast this fucking thing out of my fiance's head. period. we have a 9 yr old, we are young, shes 29 with her whole life ahead of her, THANK GOD i was able to talk her family into using cannabis instead of chemo. who knows what condition she'd be in by now if that were the case. meanwhile, shes FINE! its such a scam the way they try and scare you and rush you into chemo/surgery/radiation. she would be MESS had we not just taken a step back to really think about this. (esp. since I watched my father wither away from heavy chemo for years until pneumonia finally killed him, from ZERO immune system. not "CANCER"...

Idk guys, im kinda blabbin. but I need to know if I heavily infuse coconut oil with bud not trim, will this make a big dent in this brain tumor she has? coconut oil alone is amazing for brain tumors, and everything else....so it seems like the best option for a brain tumor? idk. I plan on filling 00 vegan gel capsules with it, and she'd probably have to take a good 4-5 a day (on top of the small dose of state meds that her parents are paying for.)

please guys, I need some definitive answers. I have all the tools at my disposal, I have been a hydro shop guy for 7 years now (working, managing, help setting up new ones) and an indoor cultivator for about 12-13 yrs now.

any info, tips, would be greatly appreciated. I can always count on my guys at IC to help when I need it.

Thanks guys n gals!

TicalionStalion....
How is Your wife? I’m curious to know what you ended up doing for treatment and how it has gone for her. Also could you please tell me more about the seizures she was having at night. I am also experiencing some sort of seizures at night...

i popped into a local dispensary to see how much they were selling their rso type oil for and it was 150 bucks for a gram! the suggested daily dose is one gram so you can see how fast that could get expensive. i tryed not to laugh (out of respect) but i kinda chuckled at that because i can extract about 5 grams of rso type oil from 1 ounce of good herb which would usually retail for 150 to 200 dollars. even if the retail price was 300 dollars (dispensary prices) that would break down to 60 dollars a gram of oil. obviously its better to make it yourself from your own grow, not only is it way cheaper but you know exactly what is going into (and out of) the oil). on the other hand i can make almost 2lbs of uber potent canna butter from a pound of trim after i run it through my bubble bags. you'd be surprised how much thc and other cannabinoids are left over after collecting the trichome heads. obviously the dose weight between the two is way different but i feel it lasts alot longer in butter form. (i get a lot more doses out of the cannabutter, using equal amounts of herb, compared to the rso.) going back to my original thought, and id love to get some input from anyone who uses rso type oil or edibles to treat an illness, wouldnt we get the same benefits from cannabis infused butter, or infused oil (olive oil, coconut oil, etc...) thanks in advance for your input. i look forward to hearing your experiences and thoughts on the subject.

I am a huge supporter of RSO, I actually make my own with 99% Iso and sometimes with 94% ethanol.

I might stew an oz. of flower in 16 oz of coconut oil in the crockpot, and halfway (2.5-3 hrs in) introduce some decarbed bubble hash (clean). idk. RSO just takes SOO much more flower to make, and Im not producing on a grand scale, im a 2000W gardener. sometimes dabble in setting up with other people and consulting. but Id like to use full flower extract.

Rick simpson oil is supposed to be a gram a day, well worked up to that. the state meds, she could take her month supply in a day and its still not be hitting a gram a day. *sigh*

Might just have to try and source some pure grain alc. and go RSO to fill the 00 vegan gel caps.

Thanks guys. hopefully more will chime in that have been in my shoes.

hey bud,

sorry to hear of your struggle.
i dont have cancer but very high medical user.
in terms of pure efficiency smoking is by far best bang for buck.
i smoke a LOT.
i also use rso.
i find rso is "better" as essentially its sttronger.
you get more in a smaller amount.

when you make it, load it into 10cc syringes
this makes dosing pretty easy.

it sticks to everything. i try to put it on a little pice of food n swallow like a pill. takes some practice to do without sticking.

you wont be able to get all the oil from the bottom of the pan. i put coconut oil into the pan and reheat it until it becomes homogenous.

then i dump the warm oil into a non stick cake pan and put in the freezer.

you can flavor it before you put in the cake pan. i use sweetener and peanut butter, sometimes ill add coco powder.

when its frozen its easier to take.
stab it with a knife and break into pieces, then swallow like pills.

when i have oil i use 5cc or so ed or so.
5cc makes smoking less necesary.

generally i wont make oil without a kg of material.
good luck!

Go for the cannabis-infused edibles. those are the best, you can even add flavors to them.

Fuck the clubs, find a grower. Most I ever charged was 100 for a 12 gram syringe, but Ive given away way more than I ever sold. Thats just rediculous. For that price you would be better off growing and processing it yourself.
