Are you bored of using cannabis through inhalation? Are you looking for some different ways to take your daily cannabis oil?

Well, in this blog post, we have come up with a convenient and safe option for enjoying cannabinoids. And that is none other than cannabis capsules.

Cannabis has been getting legal in America lately.

Medical marijuana oil has been legalized in either form in about half of the US states and the remaining states also considering legalization shortly.

Similarly, Canadians also love cannabis and are making efforts to legalize it for adults. 

This increased popularity can result in poor-quality cannabis extract, so you should do research and be aware of what you decide to buy.

You can now consume 100% safe cannabis extract in the form of canna capsules.

Cannabis capsules are usually not readily available in the local superstores, or if available at any dispensary, you need to pay high prices and taxes.

So keeping that in mind, we have shared the recipe for making a canna capsule with cannabis oil.

Let’s delve into the main discussion.

What Are Cannabis Oil Capsules?

Cannabis capsules, popularly known as canna caps, are the pills containing cannabis extract combined with the oil to absorb cannabinoids better.

These pills are subject to have a premeasured dose of oil, which guarantees safety and efficacy.

However, due to the first-pass effect, the potency of cannabis also decreases when the pill crosses the digestive tract.

How To Prepare Capsules

Make sure to get the main ingredients and tools before starting the preparation of your cannabis capsules.

The best thing is that you may already have some of the items in your home while others that you need to purchase will last longer, so this is quite a cost-effective method.

Here is the list of items required!

Cannabis that is either ground or decarded: the source for the canna caps is cannabis. You can get either use the concentrated or dried flower.

To get high from cannabis capsule, you need to pass cannabis through decarboxylation.

For decarboxylation, heat the concentrate or cannabis flowers at one hundred fifteen degrees Celsius for thirty minutes in the oven.

Two types of coconut oils can be used, both liquid coconut oil or virgin coconut oil.

But to get longer lasting capsules, use virgin coconut oil. Liquid coconut oil is not a bad option, but it may form leaky canna capsules after they sit.

Caution: Use virgin oil before the solidification of the mixture. Otherwise, clogging will occur in the syringe.

Purchase any empty capsules, either gelatin capsules or vegetarian capsules. We prefer the large sizes (size 00) because they are much easier to fill.

Filling capsules by hand can be very tough, so the capsule tray holds the capsules and makes the preparation method much more manageable. If this option is not available, you can always drill the holes in a wood piece.

A syringe eases the capsule-making process. It helps you to fill the CBD essential oil in empty capsules.

A graduated measuring glass for the times when you need an exact amount of oil.

Cheesecloth is used to filter the extract and is readily available in grocery stores.

Cannabis buds, trims, and flowers (whatever you want)

The left-over of harvested cannabis is mostly used to prepare cannabis oil capsules. But you can also use flowers.

Decarb The Cannabis

To make cannabis oil capsules, decarbing is necessary.

During decarbing, the cannabis is heated at a low flame for a particular time.

To get the maximum benefits of cannabis or cannabis essential oil, it is necessary to decarb first.

Add Coconut Oil

After decarbing, add a sufficient amount of coconut oil to the product.

Ensure that you add a measured amount of the oil because a high amount of oil can weaken the capsule and result in the leaks.

A quick tip: adding six tablespoons of the oil into four grams of the herb is quite a safe amount.

It will produce approximately thirty to forty canna capsules.

Infuse The Cannabis

Infusion of cannabis in coconut oil is mainly used to extract cannabis oil.

For this, heat the mixture of coconut oil and cannabis at ninety degrees Celsius and gently boil for fifteen minutes in a water bath.

After removing from the water bath, cook the mixture for sixty minutes at low flame (approximately one hundred twenty degrees Celsius).

It will ensure proper decarboxylation.

Warning: Don’t exceed the temperature above one hundred fifty-seven degrees Celsius because, at high temps, the THC begins to evaporate.

Again put the mixture in a water bath and further at ninety degrees Celsius heat for one hundred and twenty minutes; the cannabinoids will be fully infused.

Straining And Filling Of Oil

After infusion, filter the mixture and strain the oil through the cheesecloth or sieve. Squeeze it well and draw all the oil from it.

Allow the infused oil to stand for ten to fifteen minutes under it cools to forty degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, take the oil through the syringe and fill it in the capsule but leave the margin of one millimeter to facilitate the capsule’s closing.

One by one, close the capsule manually and store them in the refrigerator.

These canna capsules can be easily kept in a cool, dry place for six months.

Warnings:

The heating of the cannabis in the oil may produce an insanely bad smell.

To minimize the smell, put the bottle up in the house, and run a fan.

After filling the caps, run the scrubber and the fan and open the doors and windows later.

Depending upon your preparation method, the capsules may have strong potency.

So it is recommended to dose slowly and gradually make it stronger.

It will help you to test the amount of dose suitable for you.
