Someone told me that you shouldn’t chew the hard candies. Just let them dissolve in your mouth. The reason… the lining of your mouth absorbs the medicine faster.
Sublingual medication is as old as medication.

good to know, i’ve never had medicated hard candies. that would be quite a challenge for me!
i’d like to start consuming in a wider variety of ways. not a big fan of smoking.

There are so many different ways to medicate if you don’t like to smoke it. I made tintures yesterday & they were fairly simple. I used the green dragon, vegetable glycerine & the same flavors as the hard candy. I also like medicating with capsules… a little more time to prepare but, easy to use.

yes capsules would be my favorite but it seems like all need a concentrate to start, do you use RSO or shatter maybe? i’m not sure exactly how much flower i’ll need to last til next harvest and i don’t want to run out, although i guess my whole goal is to not use any flower… i’ll probably do a concentrate run with all my trim first
did you use their 190 proof cullinary solvent recipe?

I made bubble hash with trim & then used the magic butter machine to process the hash into green dragon. It took two gallon ziplocks of trim & produced about 1/2 oz of hash. I used aprox 10 grams in the green dragon & got about 16oz of oil

I got the recipe on a thread here. I’ll see if I can find it & share it with you. There are many ways to make it. I used to pack a mason jar with trim & pour vodka over it to saturate. Leave in a dark, cool place for as long as you can…
The longer it sits, the stronger it gets. When ready, strain with cheesecloth & then reduce it with air or heat to half (evaporate the alcohol )
It can be used in many different ways.

oh yes that sounds like rick simpson oil, do you need to decarboxylate the cannabis first or is the heat reduction enough?

Yes!! That is a new word & technique I recently learned…decarbocalation!! A very important step that I will always use.
I decarbed before making the hash so, I didn’t repeat the process with the hash. Not sure if I should have but, I’m very happy with the results of my labor!!

yes it converts the thc a to bioavailable thc so the step only needs to be done once
