Coco Tabs = Good Meds

I have read so many different formula's for making capsules and I have talked to a couple of different dispensaries and came to the conclusion that everybody has there own ideas, including me. The first time I made them I used 3 grams of bud ground up and about 12 grams of coconut oil. I did it stove top in a frying pan and watch the temps with a good thermometer. After capping them up they were fantastic for getting stoned but for daily meds for the wife it was way to strong. So after I harvested and had plenty of bud to use I started with a different ratio. I used 12.5 grams of sour diesel bud and 12.5 grams 50/50 sativa and indica shake. I ground it up in a food processor and put it into a small crock pot, that I test for temp (290 degrees) with 150 grams of oil or a 6 to 1 ratio. I cooked it for about 2 hours and put it back in the food processor and turned it into a very fine liquid paste. I put it back in the crock pot and cooked it again for another 10 hours. I capped it up and it wasn't what the wife liked. DAM Gets a little intense for about a hour and then mellows out a little. She's not an indica fan SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO back to ratio board and this time I got it to where she likes it. I used 5 grams of sour diesel bud and 3 grams of sativa shake and 2 grams of indica shake. I upped the coconut oil to 70 grams or a 7 to 1 ratio. I cooked this about the same as the first one but shortened the cooking time by a few hours and it still worked good. The second grinding really helps liquidify the med and makes it a lot easier to put in caps.

Both the of the crock pot batchs were liquid enough to use a 60cc flushing syringe to fill the caps. I tried on the big batch to shorten the fill a little but it was still to strong. I got 209 capsules off the first crock pot batch. The last one I got 102 capsules that were filled to about 1/8" from the top. She's liking these so we are both happy now.

I bought one of the Bullet blenders and man it works great for grinding. Of course after grinding the container is full of resins so I pour some coconut into it and out it comes.

One thing while you are doing all the different steps in making these capsules you have to lick the spoon, finger out the bullet and crock pot and any drips on the table while you are filling the capsules. Draw the line somewhere because you can get REALLY STONED and have a great night. AAAAAAAA that's not bad.
