My oil is not that good. I think it is because I did not shake up the weed in the oil before I cooked it. Lesson learned. I only took .25 of a ml. Maybe more will help out but I am sure not shaking up the mix did hurt.

I did not suspend the weed in the oil it just sat at the bottom of the jar with the oil on top of it. I am going to remake it with the weed suspended in the oil. First, I will have to decarb some more weed.
How much weed to how much oil, and was it ground?

I did weigh the weed, but I would say a 1/4 oz and 1 cup of oil. It was ground. I get a buzz, but it is not a strong buzz. Do you think I should use more weed and shake the hell out of it, so the weed is suspended in the oil.
I use 30g to 500ml of oil.
So that's about 1/2 ounce to a cup?
Stirring it in might help, as might a second run.
I run a 50 minute cycle, let it sit for 8 hours or so (usually overnight), and then another 50 minute cycle, let it depressurize on its own, and then filter out the bud.
You can also put more weed into the oil you've already made and run it through another cycle if it's not as strong as you wanted.

That is my plan I will use the oil again. On the first run I only cooked it 1 hour so I will cook it twice at 50 minutes a time and let it sit over night between pressure cooking's. Thanks Mel. I have plenty of weed so that is not a problem. I decarb for 40 minutes in the insta pot.
I don't bother with the decarb step as it'll decarb in the oil during infusion.
I was a little skeptical of that the first time, but it worked really well.
Decarbing first shouldn't hurt anything though.

Thanks not doing the decarb step will save time.

It would send her over the edge.
Start some radish seeds in a pot. Put them by the window when they sprout

That would keep me from going nuts, but it is not the same, growing weed is my most favorite thing to grow.

Keep up the good work on the cigs. You will be glad you did not to mention you will feel better.
You can’t fix a little spot in your garage? I know it’s not optimal for growing but you could maybe do a plant

I always thought all drugs were metabolised by the liver. I know some are easier to metabolise than others. But I thought all were metabolised through it.
You really do learn something new every day. But that said I’ll be fact checking with my pharmacist next time I’m on Lolling.
