Canna-Caps: The Super Simple Cannabis Edible

in #cannacap6 years ago (edited)

Did You Know Cannabis Works Better When You Eat it Every Day?

Arthritis? Dementia? Diabetes? Inflammation? Pain? ADD? ADHD? Anxiety? High blood pressure? Digestion Issues? Suffering from any of the issues cannabis can be used to treat/alleviate? Swallowing a Canna-Cap three times a day provides much better relief than intermittent use.

Did You Know Canna-Caps are Super Simple to Make?

Oh yes! After studying and making canna-caps for years, I tried something new the other day and it worked AMAZINGLY well! The most difficult step of all canna-caps is mixing the materials evenly, and this new method does it so fast and so easily I was shocked! (yes, I'm using a lot of exclamation points, this is really amazing info for me. lol)

List of Materials

  • Cannabis (preferably cannabis grown without being exposed to organic or inorganic pesticides, fungicides, etc)
  • 2 Tall Glass Jars of approximately equal size
  • 190 Proof Ethanol (The lower the proof, the lower quality the extraction and the longer it will take to evaporate)
  • Funnel (one which will rest on the top of the glass jars and also leave room between itself and the bottom of the jar)
  • Coffee Filters
  • Oven Proof Glass Baking Dish
  • Brown Rice Flour
  • Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl
  • Gelatin Capsules (I prefer vegan)

Basic Steps

I'm going to cover the steps very briefly. Have questions? Please ask them below and I'll make sure to fill you in on any details I can provide. :D I now use a buchner funnel, fine filters and a vacuum pump for my own extractions. These instructions use the same steps, only substituting a funnel and coffee filters which are easier to find. ;) Higher quality extractions can be done using very cold temperatures. (Can you say dry-ice? lol)

These steps may look like a long intimidating process. Read through it a few times and you'll see it's rather simple. :) Once you've done it a few times you won't even have to think about it. :D

  • Gently grind the cannabis, removing stems and seeds
  • Place the ground cannabis in a clean glass jar
  • Place the funnel in the top of the other jar, with several coffee filters tucked into it
  • Cover the cannabis with ethanol (You'll want to save 2/3rds of the ethanol for later steps)
  • Swirl for 30-60 seconds and then pour through the coffee filters in the funnel
  • Use some ethanol to rinse the original jar and pour it through the ground cannabis in the filter
  • Rinse the ground cannabis in the filter with clean ethanol
  • Pour the filtered (slightly green) ethanol extraction into the oven safe glass baking dish
  • Cover with a cloth and let the ethanol evaporate naturally (It's illegal to heat ethanol extractions indoor, in Colorado)
  • Preheat oven to 200F
  • Place oven safe baking dish with extract (no ethanol left) in oven and bake for a minimum of 20 minutes. Time varies according to how thick a layer of extract and your personal preference, more will take longer
  • Remove and let cool
  • Add ethanol to the dish and swirl to dissolve all of the extract
  • Toast some brown rice flour until it's nearly a walnut brown color (not burnt! lol)

  • Put toasted brown rice flour into the stainless steel mixing bowl and add the ethanol extract while stirring
  • Add additional brown rice flour, while stirring, until there is zero excess liquid (You want even absorption by the flour)
  • Set aside until the alcohol evaporates

This Creates the Base Powder

What I do at this point is pack it into a capsule and eat it to test the potency. You may want to start with 1/4 capsule full, when you don't know exactly how powerful your extract is. WAIT 2 FULL HOURS before ingesting more, you've been warned. An empty stomach (any blood type) will digest these in 15-20 minutes. A stomach full of incorrect food choices and oils can increase this to 5 hours or more.

I Cannot Feel the Canna-Caps (You're Not Supposed to)

When I can feel the effects of the canna-cap, I know it's too strong and has to be diluted. Add additional brown rice flour (it mixes evenly so well it's scary) and keep testing your caps. When you have a canna-cap you can swallow and not feel the effects from, you've added enough filler. Pack your capsules and put them in the freezer.

One Capsule, Three Times a Day

It takes about 3 weeks of regular use before the magic fully kicks in. Cannabis with higher than 3% CBD is exceptionally useful for ADD/ADHD and other mental issues. ;)

Go BE Awesome!!

Thanks for the great instructions on how to make these useful capsules. I know these canna caps can have amazing benefits so it's great to have a homemade recipe. I'll be sure to give that method a try sometime.

My pleasure, and I hope you get a chance to try them soon.

The biggest down side to making and taking canna-caps is when you run out. LOL Be sure to stock up, because you're really going to appreciate the difference it makes. :D Remember to search out a mid to high CBD strain for best results. :D
