Question for Oil and Edible Makers

A salve we use is as follows, start with a 2 cup measure, then add 1 tablespoon of the infused coconut oil listed in the below post, 250mg of pure cbd crystalline isolate powder (currently we just purchase the cbd as it’s simpler to dose exactly), 1 tablespoon of sunflower lecithin, 8 oz of organic unrefined Shea butter, then fill the remaining to the 2 cup line with coconut oil, be sure to use a solid coconut oil, I use LouAna brand as it has the best texture and consistency of all the coconut oils I have found.

Then heat slowly and mix until well blended with nothing undissolved, this is then evenly poured into 4 - 4oz ball jars then let them cool. Use sparingly as a little goes a long ways.
 
I too am having difficulty with getting a good buzz from edible/decarbed. I make everclear infusions that I sometimes let evaporate a bit to cut down on the alcohol burn then add water or other something. I drink it, I leave it under my tongue, and make cocktails. It seems I have better outcomes with alcohol infusions than with oil. but I do both and I sometimes just eat the decarb, I even tried a pinch between the cheek and gum like the old chewing tobacco commercials. The outcomes fluctuate wildly even when using same batch, same way, same time of day and same stomach content. It's been pretty frustrating.

We bought a vapor brothers vaporizer in 09 and it still works (hands free wand is best). I liked it because you can taste all the different (i guess) terpenes or maybe cannabinoids as they evaporate at different temps. It's really cool. I don't use it anymore because it can have worse effects on my throat than smoking.

I know you can't do this but in case someone else is working this out because of throat and coughing issues today I smoked without inhaling in hopes that the smoke held in my mouth could be absorbed and it did work a bit. I going to try out the vaporizer without inhaling. It would taste better. I wonder if Bill knew this trick. HeHehe.

I often put a rolled joint in a chillum and use it like a 'cigarette' holder. I inhale and exhale hits through my nostrils if I'm having a bad coughing night. I have to be careful with fatty foods because of gall bladder and with fats + alcohol because of my pancreas. I wish I could press my buds then use it as I please. I'd rather put hash oil on top of gummies and let it sink in before eating them. Or on crackers, in jelly for toast. I prefer alcohol over butter, coco oil, etc, also.
 
Interesting about the chillum holder. and you can infuse salt and sugar (which you prob should stay away from as well :( ) with the alcohol infusion. Puglover, you could evaporate completely in a bowl and you're left with just the gummie gooey thc. Alcohol will evaporate all on its own without heat. I've put a fan in front of the bowl to hurry things up. I've also gone the rso route though I think the heat turns all the thc into cbn.
 
I sometimes think chocolate enhances cannabis effects, it does have its own special powers. Plus I think it's one of the few flavors that really goes well with cannabis.
 
The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. And some times the deviation is for the better. The last 2 days nothing had gone as I'd planed or thought it would. One project turned out to be about a quarter of the work I thought it would take my gutters were dam near clean only a little leaf collection at the 5 down spout screens. As for the other project I'm still waiting on the shop to finish their work on parts I need to reassemble the rear end in grand daughters Jeep. Which brings me to the better with a lighter work load than planed I haven't had the need to medicate since Tuesday evening so I managed to get my tolerance break done before I had planned to do it.
 
Gracey Yup. My last QWET was in February in Illinois, a beautiful oil but I wasn't prepared to stop there and evaporate it, at the time. I'm waiting for winter weather now to make oil. I have a jar of that once-washed good bud in the freezer, I took it out once to get to something else and in a minute of being out of the freezer oil was leaking out of the bud. I love sugar, eating candy makes me feel better some days. For now it's either buy dispo oil or make firecrackers and hope the PB doesn't bother me. If I get the insurance check I'm expecting I should buy a small press. I think it might be cheaper than buying everything needed to make 'good' oil and recover the EverClear. I know how to decarb and thin oil to use as needed and I have the "parts" that are needed.
 
Phlash I’ve been thinking of making a topical with a mix of raw and decarbed plant as well as a mix of thc and cbd strains. Ive made and consumed many edibles but I’ve never tried a topical product and my understanding had been that you won’t get a buzz from a topical application. I think it was described as a ‘localized’ buzz at the place it is applied that can help with the problem (pain, inflammation etc) but never a true buzz. What has been your experience?
