I also wanted to speak to anyone here who understands the cannabis business in Ontario.
In order to smoke less, last year I started to make my own butter. I would take a tablespoon square in my morning coffee to help me get through the day. The butter is a messier process, so I started decarbing my weed and then putting it into capsules.
This is where I have a pretty good idea that I might move onto that may help me retire early, or can be a small business idea.
Wanna hear it, here's how it goes.
I started with preparing decent quality weed, mostly sativas with the idea that these capsules will replace my butter and are primarily to allow for full functioning at work.
I prepare a 24+ % weed... finely grind it up and will do a 50/50 mix of weed with turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon and recently powdered mushrooms (lions mane, reishi etc)
You need a fat to help the thc get into the liver and body faster (that's why the butter was a lot faster activating) so I used to mix all of that weed and turmeric stuff with coconut oil and fill a capsule with 0.5 grams of mixture and fat/capsule. This latest batch is mixed with a high quality olive oil from Spain.
The Effects and Why I Use:
I do not have a medical prescription for weed, but I have been dealing with back pain related to stress and trauma pain bodies (yeah yeah, I strongly believe in that)
Work stresses for school administrators is on another level these past few years. The amount of issues that come to me on a daily is unreal... homelessness, abuse, mental health concerns. I had to take two months off last year because of the physical pain and health concerns I was facing during a particularly difficult time.
I liked the bulletproof coffee I was making but it was messy. These capsules are 50/50 with some common antiinflammitorys that we can all take. I take one around 10:30 and it takes a good hour and a half before it is fully set in.
I am trying different batches with different strains and recording results.
I've given a few to many of my friends with different levels of experience with cannabis in general.
I take one everyday to get me through work and I would love to be able to make something and have it measured in terms of potency.
