I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sometimes misses the obvious. Lol! 
Stay away from the vegetarian ones. They'll dissolve with oils in them. Curly, I like the carrier pigeons idea.

Health food store but it's expensive. Online is better and can get holder with a tamper a lot cheaper too. I bought a 1lb bag of "00" caps from the lady at the health food store for $80 because they were moving down the street. The bag had a $24 price tag on it. I weighed 100 empty ones and extrapolated to figure there's over 6000 in the bag. Used about 1000 so far.

Just wanted to swing by and thank everyone for all the help. I've filled a few hundred lil capsules and still have enough oil to make several hundred more. They work amazingly! Next time I won't add the fan leaves and hopefully the plant will be done with flowering, not just 5 weeks in. I'll be doing this again for sure. I've had 2 back surgeries already this year, I don't take their pills. I don't like the side effects and I don't like addictive substances. I've been smoking 7-12 grams of premium flower daily. It handles the pain but leaves me almost comatose. These pills are different. I feel energetic and the pain is tolerable. I've only smoked 2 joints today, normal people sized joints, not pot grower joints. So thank you. Thank you again, and thank you one more time. I feel like I have my life back. This stuff is going to change things for alot of people. .
I'd tell them I am taking turmeric paste for my joints, but I hate the taste so I put it in capsules.
Nasty tasting stuff that turmeric, but it's good for joint pain, including arthritis and bum knees. I used to eat a tablespoon a day.
It's much cheaper to buy the turmeric in bulk at indian and asian groceries than the pills at health food stores - so the story hangs together.

You made my day. Now I can go to bed and try for sleep.
I hope PsyCro finds this thread someday and can see how well-recieved the method is and how many have adopted it. We owe him a great big "Thank You!!"

As I recall, we (meaning me) gave him some grief over his method as unlikely to be strong enough. Sorry PsyCro.
Great. Thank you. Not only might it be helpful in the joint pain dept- but I can breathe turmeric fumes all over the ladies as I hobble around and plead my case. I might even plunk the whole bag of it on the counter in a cloud of dust. These pharmacy ladies aren't so easy to fool.
Very effective imagery. I can imagine your head swivelling like a lizard as you lean a little too close to breathe those fumes across the sacred barrier of their counter.
My old mail lady wasn't easy to fool either, but that's because she delivered the mail stoned. Sometimes it takes one to know one
I was going to say... the mail ladies and the pharmacy ladies have a LOT in common. The mail ladies' attitude seems to revolve around 'what's in that package?' I can see it in their eyes. They'll go so far as to say things like 'This one sounds like it has liquid in it....' and then look at me questioningly, but I know my rights...
And every mail lady who has ever worked in any PO branch that I've used remembers me by name, including my last name, which most of my casual friends do not know, and they know where I live.
I bumped into some random girl I don't know at a party and she knew my full name and where I live. Wtf? Turns out she worked at the PO briefly. Almost 20 years ago!!! I asked her about it and she said the job is so boring that it becomes kind of a sport getting snoopy about things.

I was that way with phone numbers when I wore bell shaped hats. Not so much with the snooping. We just waited for someone to F up so we would have something to talk about. Gossip and jokes ruled most conversations.

KR, how would you say this oil compares to CCO? I find it more potent at 1:1 - 1:2 THC:CBD than CCO I made with high THC plants processed into 5:1 biobombs. I've finally, after more than a month, found it possible to increase my oral doses. I'm now dosing every 3-4 hours, trying to see what my limit is. So far I'm able to cope and function as normally as my normal is.
I'm still investigating (seriously, guys, I have to time my FHO capsules around my other doses to avoid overlapping results. It's like scheduling sex to conceive a baby, just not the same as the real thing.) It'll be a week or so before I can make CCO with the other half of the Dance World that I just made into FHO. Then I will have to make sure both are fully decarbed for true comparison.
One thing I have noticed is just how strong terpenes are in their own right. I tend to forget this because they are such a small part of CCO and cured herb total medicine. I made some White Widow FHO and have been comparing partially to fully decarbed oil. Partially decarbed WW is similar to best of WW herb I've vaped, mostly stronger. I should note that this plant was grown under far from ideal conditions and harvested early, so not a good comparison to other batches. I was expecting it to be much weaker. The fully decarbed oil was very different. Usually WW relaxes me completely. This batch made me a little edgy, much more energizing, which was a problem because I took it before bed. However it was also more clear headed so may be good for daytime.
That's something I've kind or noticed in all FHO batches, that I seem to handle the high better. My strains are mostly indica so it's more of difference for me that you perhaps.
Next step is figure out how much is due to interaction of THC with increased terpenes and how much is due to terpenes themselves. Work, Werc, Wurk...

That's the way it is with a lot of jobs. Mundane things like mail or numbers tell stories, and if not then you can always make one up.

That's a good way to explain it, handling the high better, because let me tell you, on my FHO capsules I'm higher than on anything else in my stocks. I love it though, because I function well and get a lot done while my head spins every time I stand up. Lol! It is the sweetest euphoric experience ever. I feel bouncy all the time.
I've been spending time testing out some Malawi and Panama Haze, smoking one or the other all day, and it's just not the same. I'd like to grow a Malawi and turn it into FHO. That would kick.

I love that moment when I can feel the capsule start to kick in. 
I've been working for more than a month to get a dosing schedule that will allow me to take more than two capsules a day of the CBD Critical Cure FHO. I may have found one. I've discovered that I can space them out a minimum of two hours apart and still be functional beyond conversation. Lol!
I'm still stunned, even after all this time, that this strain can have this profound euphoric effect on me. It gets me excited about the medicinal values we may be dealing with.
I have another CBD CC coming down within the next week.
I'm trying to hold off until I can afford the pressure cooker on the first. I'd prefer to try Shiggity's method of decarbing in the cooker, adding the oil, and then boiling off the water. I'd really like to eliminate the oil bath. I have this irrational fear of attracting roaches into my home with all those oil molecules being spewed everywhere.
I've spent most of my adult life avoiding frying foods in my kitchen.

The universe uses me like that all the time Scorpio. PsyCro did his by filling the pressure cooker 1/4 of the way with water and blending the plant material into that, adding the oil (don't forget the liquid sunflower lecithin) and bringing it to a boil, then sealing it up to do its magic for two hours. He uses this with a full batch of 400 grams of wet to 500 ml of olive oil. I don't do batches that large yet, so this won't work well for me.
Shiggity placed the plant material into jars and then into the pressure cooker for two hours, I believe. He explained the process he used here. So far he's the only one to try it this way, but it makes perfect sense. You get total decarb and then you infuse the olive oil.
Incidentally, Cajun shared with us last night that he's begun advising patients away from coconut oil as a carrier. There have been a number of patients begin to have problems with long-term use.

Ill be sure and look for your Post when you try the COOKER, yer amount would be similar to what I would do.
Also, what effects are they seeing from Coconut Oil?????
are u using Extra Virgin Olive oil or regular Olive Oil for your Fresh Harvests

If you're using EVO from the U.S. go with extra virgin. Anything from outside the U.S. is suspect. The Mafia figured out how to pollute the oil that's produced outside of our boarders. I personally don't worry about it. I buy what's reasonably affordable.
Cajun wasn't specific about the ill effects of the coconut oil, but keep in mind that he works with the most critical patients, those treating late-stage cancer. Unfortunately they get to cannabis as a last resort instead of a frontline response, and this usually means severely compromised immune systems and seriously deficient endocannabinoid systems. Saturated fats..... I don't have enough information on them at the moment, but I was led to believe that coconut oil is no longer a concern from the perspective of heart attack or stroke, so this confuses me as well.
I'll press for more information on specifics.
