Be aware that these are powerful capsules that will hit your system hard and fast. Onset is typically within 5-10 minutes and, unlike other edibles, it hits at full force and stays that way for up to 10 hours. This is not an exaggeration. I typically take the next capsule somewhere around hours 7-9.
The basic recipe is (1 gr CCO + 5 ml coconut oil) + 15 ml lecithin + 45 ml coconut oil. For medicinal purposes you may want to choose another carrier oil. Olive oil is an excellent choice for just about everything except liver cancer, in which case you want coconut oil. Using olive oil helps the cannabinoids avoid first-pass through the liver. For recreational purposes, go with coconut. It goes right into the liver after the stomach and gets metabolized. Metabolization = great buzz.
If you're using less than a gram of CCO you just adjust the recipe proportionately. I've made capsules with as little as 0.2 ml of CCO.
The Process
1 gram of CCO added to 5 ml of coconut oil. Set the dish in a hot water bath, just at boiling. Turn the fire off when the water gets to boiling.
When the CCO begins to melt into the coconut oil you can begin to stir. Get it completely mixed together before you move to the next step.
I use the end of my teaspoon to stir. It's stainless, has a small but effective surface area and does the job for me.
Add 45 ml of coconut oil and 15 ml of liquid sunflower lecithin.
Stir together until it's all thoroughly mixed. When you think it's mixed enough let it sit for a few seconds to see if anything's trying to separate out. If so, keep mixing.
Seal the mixture securely and refrigerate overnight. This bonds the components together in a way that won't happen without the chill.
After at least 12 hours remove from the refrigerator and let it slowly come to room temperature. Check to be sure it's all well mixed and fill the 00 capsules. This size capsule can also be used as a suppository.
These are my personal protocol. To be honest, I'm not certain many could tolerate this as well as I do, so I caution you to know your own limits. To keep it all in perspective this is level three of a progressively increasing dose schedule.
The ratios are Carrier oil: CCO The only thing that changes is the measurement of carrier oil. Everything else stays the same.
Level one - 20:1
Level two - 10:1
Level three - 5:1
Level four - 1:1
Level five - 0:1
First off thank you for writing this blog. I am using your recipe for the bio bomb and i have a question, i am using the 20:1 ratio with one gram of CCO. How many pills should i be able to fill? Thank you.
