    Maximum amount of CBD that you can infuse into coconut oil

    So I have just ordered a “levo 2” and I plan on making highly concentrated CBD capsules.
    I believe there is a maximum amount of CBD that will be infused into the coconut oil?


    I understand that I can run the coconut oil through the “levo” several times (with new material), and that will increase potency.
    I am hoping to create capsules that contain 100mg of CBD. Is this possible?

    I have a few cannabis strains picked out (has to do with the terpenes).
    A few of the strains are; Charlotte’sweb, cannatonic, AD/DC, Ringo’s gift, and sour Tsunami.
    I am medicating for insomnia, and too much THC is anti helpful.


    I’m hoping to hear from someone that has gone down this road, and can give me some pointers.

    Thanks

    A bit of further information to keep this discussion going.


    I am on a quest to provide medication for my partner (45 years).
    She has had problems for years with sleep, not falling asleep, but staying asleep.
    Currently we are going back and forth between benzos and cannabis.


    I have been making coconut oil capsules for many years, and have tried many different methods.
    I grow my own strains, the last few; GG#4, Northern Lights, and just finished a crop of GDP.


    My wife has been using the Northern Lights capsules and supplementing with CBD oil.
    we purchased two 30ml bottles of “Aspen Green Rest”, it is 130mg per ml.
    The oil taste is too objectionable, so I filled #00 capsules that hold about .9ml.
    She takes two of these and one capsule of Northern Lights.


    The Aspen Green is very expensive and I am hoping to produce my own.

    My process for creating capsules:
    Decarb 28g of ground buds in a mason jar in the oven.
    Soak decarbed material in same jar, with everclear for 24 to 48 hrs
    Strain material and evaporate alcohol leaving just oil.
    Add sunflower lecithin ½ tsp and 150 ml of coconut oil.
    Make the capsules

    I have had a few suggestions to maybe decarb twice (converting thc to cbn).
    Maybe making alcohol tincture with the levo and then evaporating the alcohol before adding the coconut oil.

    Another option might be to use the levo and infuse a small amount of oil two or three times using small amounts of new material each time with the same oil?


    I know this has been a long post and am grateful for the cannabis community and the help and support.

      You might want to try just decarbing your flower, then grinding it to a fine powder and filling your capsules with that. Works well for me without all the mess.

        Has anyone tried to convert THC into CBN for making any edibles?
        This really intrigues me as I want to make some "sleep" medicine.

          Grow some Kush and don't harvest until most of the Trichomes are amber. You'll have your sleep med.

            The amount you can infuse kinda depends on how potent you want your oil to be. You gotta play around with the ratios, but don't go overboard, or you might end up with some seriously strong stuff!

            Personally, I think it's cool to have control over what goes into your CBD oil. Plus, coconut oil adds a nice flavor and smooth texture. Just be mindful not to waste those precious cbd hemp flowers! They're like gold when it comes to making your own goodies.

            Oh, and speaking of CBD hemp flowers for sale, if you're looking for some quality ones, there are places where you can find them.
