Howdy buffalobuds, I have switched from smoking to ingesting them. At first I made dry ice hash, baked it, and capped it. The DIH worked well, but I noticed that most all of the extraction/enhancement methods said to save the 'leftovers' as they could be used in edibles. I, for Myself, could not see the logic in making edibles out of something that gives you the munchies (lol). I now cure, dry, clean out the seeds and stems ("that You don't need, Acapulco Gold....), and then bake it at 215° F for 3 hours. I do this with the trim as well. I use the size 0 gel caps and get good results. The time from ingestion to feeling the effects varies depending on what is all ready in the stomach and what you take them with. I usually get results between 20 minuets to an hour. The effects last a considerable longer time than smoking the same amount.
