CANNA-CAPSULES

GLUTEN-FREE | NUT-FREE | SOY-FREE | SUGAR-FREE | VEGAN

Canna-capsules are an easy and consistent way to enjoy the effects of edibles in pill form. There is a small start-up cost involved in making canna-capsules. You will need a capsule-filling machine, perhaps a syringe, and size 00 empty capsules. Capsules are usually made with gelatin, but vegetable-based alternatives are also available.

MAKES 200 CAPSULES

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 4 hours

Required Equipment

Fine mesh strainer

Cheesecloth

Size 00 empty capsules

Capsule-filling machine

10-milliliter syringe with tapered tip

DOSAGE

TEST

Start with 1 canna-capsule and wait 4 hours to fully assess your reaction to its strength and effects.

8 grams cannabis

7 ounces coconut oil

1. Preheat the oven to 240°F.

2. Place the cannabis on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to activate the THC, resulting in decarboxylated cannabis.

3. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut oil over low heat. Add the decarboxylated cannabis to the oil. Stir to mix.

4. Cook for 3 hours over low heat, stirring occasionally. The oil should not boil or simmer, although it may bubble occasionally.

5. Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a large, heat-safe bowl. Carefully pour the oil through the cheesecloth, allowing any excess oil to strain through.

6. Remove the cheesecloth from the strainer, using gloves if the oil is still very hot, and squeeze any remaining oil into the bowl.

7. Follow the directions on the capsule-filling machine. While the oil is still in liquid form, fill the capsules using a syringe with a tapered tip, if necessary. If the oil solidifies before filling the capsules, reheat over low heat.

8. Store the capsules in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.
