Today I made cannabis oil. I used Rick Simpson’s www.phoenixtears.ca<\/a>  recipe as a guide. It wasn’t difficult to do or anything – just time consuming.  Here’s how I did it:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Weighed out a pound or so of Flav bud.  I like Flav.  It’s mostly indica and has a really nice feel. I use it in tincture as well as capsules.  It’s great for pain and for muscle spasms.  I used to get really severe muscle spasms and a couple of hits off a pipe and they were gone.  I’ve never found anything else that can do that.<\/div>\n

Next, we put the bud into a bucket and then poured alcohol over the bud.  You want to cover the bud in alcohol for the best rinse.  We ultimately used 2 gallons of Everclear.  (We saved one bottle of alcohol for the second rinse.)                        <\/p>\n

\n
    <\/a><\/ol>\n

    Next, we stirred the bud in the alcohol for around 5 minutes.<\/p><\/div>\n

    Then, we poured the mixture through a colander into another bucket to strain out the alcohol. It was here that I remembered to take pictures. Sorry.<\/div>\n
    <\/a><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Next, we poured the remaining bottle of alcohol into the bud for the second rinse.  We had to use some from the first pouring to get enough to mix around the bud. <\/div>\n
    Then, we poured the mixture again through a colander into the other bucket to strain the alcohol out of the plant material.<\/div>\n
    We ran the alcohol through a finer colander with a coffee filter for one last straining to make sure all the plant material was out of the alcohol.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/a><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    It was at this point that we began pouring the alcohol into the rice cooker, filling it approximately 3\/4 of the way full.  Leave the lid open, or take it off if you can figure out how to do that without breaking it.  I covered it with a screen to keep the crap out of it because we did this outside. Then, as the mixture boiled (I put it on the steam\/cook setting) I continued to add more, each time bringing it back to that 3\/4 level.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/a><\/div>\n
    <\/p>\n
    When the mixture had boiled down to about half-way full, using an eye dropper, I added 10 drops of water. <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Then when there was only an inch left, we began swirling the mixture (using gloves).  It got too dark to take a picture, but I think it’s self-explanatory.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    When it seemed like the alcohol had evaporated, I poured it into a glass measuring cup and put that onto a coffee cup warmer.  I left it on that until the bubbles were no longer visible.  <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/a><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Lots of folks apparently draw the mixture into a large syringe, but I didn’t have one so I put it into a glass jar. It looks like I got about a 1\/3 of a cup total. It’s really thick and it should do well in a vapor pen. <\/p>\n
    <\/a><\/div>\n

    <\/div>\n

    <\/div>\n
    All in all, this was easy to do.  I didn’t use a fan on the cooker because there was a bit of wind today.  And, it’s only 40 degrees outside, so that helped keep things stable.  I like medicating with concentrates, so it will be fun experimenting with the oil.  I’ll update as I learn more…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
