We’ve had a couple nice days but then it freaking snowed the other day and killed all the soon to be flowers on my dogwood tree. It looks like nice now but went outside and it’s windy and 55. So annoying.
Let me know if you ever want some pointers on making butter. I've been doing it for a few years now and while you can find all kinds of info on the internet, I'm always happy to share what I've learned making it.
Reposting my oil recipe.
1/4oz. of herb per cup of coconut oil -- I only have access to premium bud. If you have access to mids or you know a grower who will give you their trimmings, you can pack in a lot more plant material, up to a half or even a full oz. of plant material per cup of oil. You can experiment with your ratios any way you like, just exercise caution as necessary with your consumption. You can always have a second cookie if the first one is weak, but good luck if you eat a cookie that's too strong and you're tweaking out like an idiot for 3 hours.
Your plant material should be ground as fine as possible.
Your coconut oil should be highest quality organic/virgin or whatever. Coconut oil has a much greater capacity to absorb the organic compounds from your plants than does butter for example. And it's a pure and delicious fat source that makes the best chocolate chip cookies you've ever had.
To maximize that absorbtion capacity, add 3 teaspoons of lecithin powder to each cup of oil. This step is really important in my experience.
But first things first: take your finely ground herb and place it in a pyrex dish. Cover TIGHTLY with foil and bake at 220 for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let it sit until cooled. DO NOT open the foil until it cools.
Add your coconut oil and lecithin to that cooked herb, as per the ratios mentioned above. Again, bake in pyrex and seal as tightly as possible. Bake at 220 for one hour, then turn off the heat and let it sit there until it's completely cooled. You've now started the process of baking the organic compounds from the plant into the fat molecules in the coconut oil. The lecithin you've stirred in has maximized that process. Now, freeze it for at least 8 hours. Freezing smashes up any trichomes that haven't already been broken down by the steps above. Then defrost, and again bake tightly covered at 220 for 20 minutes, again letting it sit until cooled.
Note that all of these cooking/freezing/defrosting/cooking steps have broken down your herb as completely as possible, until every molecule of goodness has been absorbed into that delicious oil with which you can now bake some quality cookies/brownies/whatever. It's been so beaten up by heat and cold that you don't even need to strain it out of the oil. By the time you bake cookies with it for example, the texture will be like any normal cookies you've ever had -- no weird chunks of stems, leaves, etc. But, every last bit of potency from your herb has been captured by this process and is suspended in that oil, ready to get baked into your favorite treats. It's the perfect extraction from a bud/smokable form to a liquid/cookable form. In other words: BIOAVAILABILITY.
I will someday ping you for pointers. The only barrier to me trying it is having the house/kitchen to myself for a day to give it a go, not a project to undertake with three teenagers milling around.
Yeah, I hear you. It's weird, we wouldn't feel that way about brewing beer at home but making these products seems to carry a different stigma even though as an Oregon resident it's 100% legal.
You need more THC to get the max effect. Think of CBD like a bass guitar. It's important in a rock band, but nobody is lining up to hear bass lines alone. You need a lead guitar to augment and enhance the bass, to bring it to life. THC is your lead guitar.
I haven't cooked with it in years but back when I did it would totally stink up the house like weed for days. My kids were little and we would tell them that Mom made Indian food. They didn't know what weed smelled like or what Indian food smelled like.
Yup, and my wife perpetuates that stigma.
My guess is probably 100 total. Íve had the most success with taking at least 50mg of CBD in a serving and Íve taken as much as a 100mg a few times here and there.
I feel this deep in my soul. I am with you brother.Yup, and my wife perpetuates that stigma.
Thankfully my makeshift home office is in the basement, with a door one step away leading to an area under my deck where I puff away unnoticed, as a teenager hiding from his parents would...but in reverse. In the meantime she's upstairs openly tearing into another bottle of Chardonnay while gazing out the slider, wondering why it yet again looks like there's smoke rising from the floor boards of the deck.
141.63 mg for the pack. So, 3/10 would be 42.5. I’ll take the the remaining four before smoking a little one day and see if the whole song comes together.
One thing I will say if you ever get THC edibles, dial it way way back on dosage, I think 42 mg could blow your face off if you aren't a regular user of it.
I don't think that will work. The coffee isn't going to be hot enough to decarb the kief.

I am indeed curious where he's getting them to be able to sell at that price.
I'll trade you an 18 pack of high grade two ply TP for a couple dozen of those.Down to $2.29ea
What's the penalty for mailing TP across state lines? Or edibles, for that matter?
After talking to a couple buddies, order size got to 350.Down to $2.29ea
Split it into two meetups for risk reasons was dreading some felony distribution charge I enjoy a half Around noon for a nice light, feelgood but functional afternoon. 
Love my gummies. Get the ones anywhere between 25-50 mgs.After talking to a couple buddies, order size got to 350.
First 200 on wed. Grabbed the other 150 on Friday. Total $800.
25mg each. Solid.
I don't know about IL, but here in NV, most dispensaries now have a website that you can place an order for pick-up so you don't need to guess.
Read my post from one hour ago. Yes, there are shortages. If you get lucky, you'll likely be limited to 1/8.
