THC capsules have gained a reputation for their convenience in discreetly providing consumers with cannabinoids. However, due to the constant high demand for these manufactured cannabis products, many consumers frequently run out of supplies. Additionally, purchasing from a dispensary means paying additional taxes, which is why numerous consumers are now acquiring the knowledge of creating THC pills in their own homes.
But what exactly are THC capsules? For those accustomed to smoking cannabis, THC capsules offer an alternative. These capsules are filled with a preferred cannabis product mixed with a specific cannabis concentrate or oil. Rather than smoking cannabis, users simply ingest a pill, allowing for a convenient and enjoyable experience.
The capsules are processed in a way that enables non-smokers to partake in cannabis consumption. They contain extracts derived from ground cannabis as well as THC concentrate or oil, resulting in a potent and effective product.
Among the popular variants of these pills are Dronabinol and Nabilone, which are made from synthetic compounds designed to replicate the natural effects of cannabinoids. Although both Dronabinol and Nabilone do not originate naturally from cannabis, they are legal under federal government regulations, with the FDA overseeing their production.
Synthetic THC pills are currently utilized by individuals experiencing chemotherapy-induced nausea. However, despite their intended purpose, these synthetic capsules do not possess the same effects as natural compounds found in the cannabis plant. Moreover, they often produce various side effects, rendering them unsuitable for everyone.
Considering these factors, perhaps it is time for you to learn how to create THC pills in the comfort of your own home. This way, you can consume only the purest and most natural form of cannabinoids without any harmful effects.
To create THC pills at home, you will need the following ingredients and tools:
½ ounce of your preferred cannabis strain
Soy Lecithin
Gelatin Capsules (size 00)
Coconut oil (preferably organic)
Eyedropper or small syringe
Cooking pot (2 pieces)
Small and big glass bowls
Strainer
Cheesecloth with rubber bands
Parchment paper
Grinder
Capsule filling machine (optional, but recommended for a simpler process)
Baking tray
Ensure you have all these items ready before proceeding with the THC pill-making process.
Here is a step-by-step guide to creating THC Pills
Begin by preheating your oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
While waiting for the oven to reach the desired temperature, use a grinder to finely grind your preferred cannabis strain. Evenly spread the ground cannabis onto the parchment paper-lined baking tray.
Once the oven has preheated, place the baking tray with the ground cannabis into the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Be mindful not to exceed 250 degrees Fahrenheit, as higher temperatures can degrade the quality of the cannabis. Keep the oven on during this process.
While the cannabis is baking, take two separate cooking pots and heat them. One pot will be used to boil the soy lecithin, while the other will be used for the coconut oil.
In the pot for soy lecithin and the pot for coconut oil, add the respective ingredients and bring them to a boil.
Prepare a glass bowl and place it on top of a pot of boiling water. Combine the heated soy lecithin and coconut oil in the glass bowl, ensuring thorough mixing. Gradually add the baked ground cannabis to the mixture and continue stirring.
Remove the glass bowl from the boiling water and transfer the mixture into a larger cooking pot. Place the pot in the oven for an additional 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent excessive thickening.
Once heated, set the mixture aside and prepare a strainer or cheesecloth to strain out the ground cannabis flower. Position the strainer or cheesecloth over another glass bowl and pour the mixture through it, squeezing out as much oil as possible.
Allow the mixture to cool to a safe temperature that won’t melt the capsules. However, ensure it is not too cool to prevent coagulation.
While the mixture is cooling, prepare the gelatin capsules by removing the tops and arranging them neatly. If you have a capsule filling machine, skip this step and proceed to the packaging instructions.
Once the mixture has sufficiently cooled, use an eyedropper or syringe to fill the capsules halfway with the mixture. Close the capsules tightly to prevent any spills. Repeat this process until all the capsules are filled. This recipe should yield approximately 50 to 60 capsules, but you can adjust the quantity based on your needs.
