Grandpa Likes To Squeeze Stuff: Solventless Extracts, Rosin, Pressed Here!

[InTheShed]

If your cardiologist is happy, I'm happy!

I need to make a cardiology appointment, but I have to wait for the podiatrist to be done with me because there's no way I can walk the treadmill at the moment!

My doctor just kicked my tires and checked my oil. I’m good.

Nice Gramps! Time to reward yourself!

Did you fall for the ol' oil dip stick again.
Using the whole fist Doc?

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

Could’ve at least had the decency to take off the class ring...

My Procto Doc doesn't even check my oil anymore, he say's go straight to get a CT Scan. I think he is tired of checking my prostate and not getting the results he wants.
After my numbers went crazy they did a biopsy and it came back negative, he said that can't be right with those numbers. He said he wanted to check them again in 6 months. Well I have a friend in Nor Cal that raises medical for Dispensary's in SF, so I gave him a call and he made me 210 grams of a 7 strain indica dominate FECO. I doubled down on that shit, did 130+ grams of oil in 90 days, I was not worth a shit for anything. I could drive but could not remember where I was going, LOL. For the first 40 or so days I was nearly a veg, slept a lot, and I mean a lot.
When I got my next blood test at the 6 month mark my numbers had dropped way below the amt. considered the tipping point. My Dr. ask me what I did to get my numbers so low in such a short period of time, "Supplements and diet change Doc, is all"
Saw my GP a short time later, she said my Prostate numbers were approaching the tipping point, and I said I know but look at what the were at my last blood test, she goes Wow big drop, told her the same reason for the drop. She then said well you Cholesterol numbers were very boarder line, I said yes but if you look back, my numbers have varied little over the past 6 years. She smiled at her assistant and said to me, "Well GR you don't look 71 and your numbers are good, so what ever your doing, just keep doing it."
So, I get high with my coffee in the morning, stoned in the afternoon, and really Fucked up in the evening. As she said just keep doing what your doing. I know my COPD number should fall since I am doing so little combustibles these days.

I remember reading that certain "supplements" can lower your blood PSA without having any effect on the underlying cause, if it were cancer-related.

I'm curious as to why you went through the whole FECO regimen if the biopsy came back negative?

My brother had the same situation, and they just keep telling him to wait another 6 months and test again, come to find out they were wrong and he had the cancer from the beginning. Just wanted to make sure.

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

I medicate all day and night...whether I need it or not.

 

[gr865]

I want to make some Rosin Gummy's.
Looking for good recipe.

 

[InTheShed]

This is the recipe I got from @Preston9mm:

Two 3oz boxes of regular Jello (with sugar!). I used raspberry.
Three ¼oz packets of plain gelatin
1 cup cold water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup infused EVOO

@BobbyZ made some a few pages back.

@InTheShed what ratio of weed to EVOO do you use to infuse? I’m still having trouble figuring out dosage...I know, I’m slow...hey, I medicate a lot.

 

[InTheShed]

Well that gets into dosing, which for me involves Oldbear's oil strength spreadsheet. With edibles it becomes more complicated than capsules (which are easy!) because you have to add the water and corn syrup dilution and the size of the molds and now (or earlier) this becomes a much longer answer than most want to read.

Whatever your capsules are, these are weaker! I can get dirty if anyone wants me to, but the best thing I've found is to eat a few and see how you feel in an hour .

Also, I don't make gummies any more because capsules are soooo much easier for the same effect. Eat some store-bought gummies and take some capsules. Why bother with the jello and the mixing and molds and the removing and the storing?

The only edibles I make now are canna-cookies for my dad, because he has forgotten how to take pills.

I agree, I have 10 grams of CO, so that is 10,000 mg.
I am thinking adding that to 1/4 cup of oil or some emulsification creating agent like Sunflower Liquid Lecithin and oil to make the mixture that will work, emulsify in the the water base.

Then I guess just see how many they make and divide that into the number of gummy's that it makes to get the mg of each gummy.
From my math, if I get 100 gummy's that would be 100 mg/0.1 ml/0.1 gram. 200 gummy's would be 0.05 ml/gram or 50 mg per gummy. For may wellness dosage I would do two 50 mg gummy's per day.
What I like about doing the gummy's is by sucking on them you are getting direct absorption into the blood stream and through the gut also. You keep them in the mouth longer than putting oil under the tongue.

If the idea is to eliminate the first pass metabolism of THC by the liver, suppositories might be even more effective, if less tasty!

I like your style! Take a few capsules and eat a bag of gummies. LOL! Capsules are definitely easier.

But...don’t knock a good suppository. It’ll make a believer out of infadels.

I believe the goal is to get high along with medicate. Getting it into the blood stream by slowly absorbing it in the mouth, which is actually one of the best ways to get it into the blood stream, will get you a buzz and also get it working within the body from what you swallow.
I totally agree that you may want to eliminate the first pass/liver, suppositories work great.

 

[gr865]

Not sure how hard it is to make gummy's, will know soon, but I usually make a mess with caps. I always squirt to hard, squeeze to much or generally waste a lot of CO.
If I am able to make 100 - 100 mg gummy's that should last me 70 plus days of med's and some fun days also.

Don't forget to brush your teeth after holding all that sugary goodness in your mouth!
