Cannaoil Noob - Would I have ruined it?

I did read that thread and have had that in the back of my mind for about a month now. I bought 200mg of gummies from the dispensary and ate them all, nothing. That was my final test for edibles because if that doesn't get me high then it doesn't work and if it takes that much i'd rather just smoke a bowl. If somewhere in that thread you gave measurements. Well, don't remember that part lol so thank you.

Although some dude, random stranger, gave me a cookie once and i did get high as fuck off that thing. The only time an edible ever worked.

Yea, you add to oil then put decarbed weed in it and infuse, that is all. I recently gave a testimony that I tried store bought edibles again and had the same results I did before the lecithin. There is nano technology but it did not hit me the same way. I need more trials with it.

I wouldn’t give up, I almost did but found what does it for me but it isn’t like smoking but close enough. I feel it so well I was able to see where I was supposed to be feeling it with store bought edibles and won’t mind buying more nano tech since it is not supposed to go through the liver. Thc distillate doesnt do much to me.

I feel it right away but goes out the window an hr in but before I most the time did not feel anything until I learned the high but still get similar results.

I'm on the fence as well. Been trying to make with butter.
Decarb for 40 min @220 then into a crockpot filled with water and a dish floating inside with the butter, 1 lbs and decarbed weed 1oz+. That gets to 175-185 and let that simmer for over 12 hrs.
Then strain through a J cloth. Tried a coffee filter the first time and ya... Took forever.
After all that I put a half cup into brownie mix that only called for 1/4 butter.... Half a pan and 2hrs later, still just feeling meh.
Store bought edibles have never worked or had a effect on me either

I took some good Ole white bread and dust dunked it in the olive oil and ate it. Like I was in Italy lol. Didn't so anything

I run anywhere from 1/2-1oz in a 1/2 cup of oil always.

How much lecithin per cup of oil? I ask because I can eat as many edibles as I want and it does nothing for me. literal nothing. Also how much per stick of butter?

I thought I read that you don't want to heat the oil above 300 degrees because to burns off the thc?

I just now saw the edited in question, yes temps above 350 start to burn the oil but usually the stuff you are making doesn’t reach that temp inside or even on the outer surface. It only spends a brief time baking but 350F 375F is good to stay near and be quick with knowing that. Most baking recipies are that in temp.

I make cookies in 3 different tiers, barely baked enough to eat, a little burnt and more burnt which all hit uniquely different which is why I allow some burning, it changes the chemotype (I think) and makes it hit a little different but surely tastes good a little burnt.

But putting oil into food and baking it usually doesn’t harm the majority of the oil unless cookies were too burnt to even eat. Brownies won’t burn. Rice crispy treats won’t burn. That is mostly what I make but you can put into capsules to avoid any degrading of the oil.

You should read about the other stuff people put in their weed oil it will make it more effective

I believe that's what most use. I've never used it.
Maybe that's the problem
Edit: Going to go read up on green dragon. See if that's another option

Any lecithin will do, sunflower was what I started out with but seitched to fearn liquid soy lecithin for taste reasons and I heard it has more liposomes per same amount used but they all will do. The sunflower can be tasted and it is blah tasting. It hides well in food but eating anything that makes it stand out or eating the butter straight with it, it is blah.

I only used coconut oil and weed so I don’t know how it would make other butters taste like if to use olive oil or butter but the sunflower with coconut it probably the best tasting due to coconut in general will hide a lot of the sunflower taste but is still gross. Id think it is worse, like the coconut/sunflower actually has closer to compatable flavors than using olive oil or butter, might be a bad mix.

If you are just trying to get high it will work and the edibles still might be palatable. I use coconut also because it is said to hold more content or else I would use butter.

I am "cooking" freshly harvested buds in coconut oil in my Instant Pot.

I mixed 900 g of fresh buds and 2,000 g of coconut oil.
I put this into my Instant Pot on sautee
I used a digital thermometer to check temp of oil
The mixture started to boil at 212 F, and temp and 30 minutes of vigorous boiling continued to rise to 228F.
I did a lot of stirring to ensure equal temp in the oil
When temp reached 230 and little boiling, I turned off the Instant Pot.
Now I let it sit overnight and tomorrow I will heat to 240F for 40 min...
... I can't wait to see what happens.
