Olive Oil and Weed

Ok... I filled a jar with shake, leaves, stems and several small ground-up buds. All this is in olive oil, which has like 20g of fat per serving, or something like that. Its been a bit more than 2 weeks and I'm waiting for a month. Yet, the other day I tried like 6 drops worth of oil and I felt nothing. WTF? I thought maybe by now I'd feel something, considering that the weed I'm using is awesome....



The jar is about 3/4 filled with weed. Is this enough? should I pack more? I'm waiting out the month, I hope to feel something because if not, I would have rather used it for cooking, dammit.

What if.... I were to stick it in the microwave for a minute, then consume? The heat would activate the thc and remain in the oil.... This will be my last resort.

Soaringeagle, a little help here please

 

LMAO, you tried 6 drops expecting to start tripping out or what? If you asked me, you shoulda just smoked that bud....

 

I would heat it up a bit. It can't hurt.

 

Don't put the metal lid in there.

 

whew good luck. i never even heard of that idea. i hope it doesn't go to waste!
or use the entire thing to make cookies. brownies. something!

 

just because olive oil contains fat doesnt mean it's going to activate the THC...

that jar = Wastedweed.com

 

6 drops....not enough

you used shake also, maybe try 5grams worth of oil, like 1/4 of the oil or something or a bit less.

 

yea since it hasnt gone the full month use a bit more & u should feel good..maybe teaspoon..it is startin to look like its getttin there tho..when its there tho you'll kno by the color..almost opague very dark green..lookin good..

 

mix it a bit every now & then

 

Really all you can do is wait...and hope you didn't waste a month when you coulda smoked it...

 

yeah, i agree with digitaldj on this one. Ive heard of extracting THC using grain alcohol and frying weed in butter to create CANNABIS oil, but ive never heard of soaking buds in olive oil. Im not so sure olive oil will extract thc without heat.

I would suggest splitting the oil up and baking cookies, brownies or a cake or something; buds stems shakn'all

 

pour it out into a saucepan and simmer it for half an hour, stirring every minute or so. eat it on an empty stomach

 

hate to tell ya all this but it absolutely is possible and i've been sipping a very strong cold olive oil extraction for months now
what hes making is an oil based tincture, simular to an alcahol extraction but using oil instead..
its comming along just right, just stir it now and then and watch for the color changes, the darker the oil gets the stromger it will be
itds just starting to look pretty ok, but its not quite there yet
have patience

I had plenty to spare.

This is what I'm going to do. I will let the month go by... I will try some, and if effects are minimal, I will heat it up and consume it that way. If THAT doesn't work, which I doubt, I guess I'll do something with... or fuck it, throw it out.

I haven't even gone through half of what is shown in those pics in the other thread. I've been smoking a lot, and even hooked up several friends, and still.
I'm in no hurry though! But I am willing to try new shit, like tomorrow I'm gonna make some firecrackers, and next week some cannabutter, even if it is with buds.

 

damn yea u got plenty to experiment with
whdre u at u gotta hook me up with a deal like that..lol holdon lemme find ya some nice recipies

enjoy

 

thanks!! Cooking with pot is definitely in my experimenting plans

 

if u like push the weed down inside the jar somewhat..what color is the oil itself now..and how strong did it taste like weed
the batch i have is so strong ..the greenness is so dark it looks more like strong black coffee

 

can anyone tell us the chemical processes going on in an oil-based THC extraction? i've never heard of such a thing. alcohol, yes, but oil? how?

 

exactly the same..
when u make tinctures your taking the active ingrediants out of an herb and infusing it into another substance wether its oil or alcahol
the oil just absorbs the thc from the herb
