I was thinking of doing that but then I remembered that any time I have RSO from the dispensary, it takes fxcking HOURS and HOURS to kick in, even when I have it with fat. I've actually tried quite a few things. I've had it first thing in the AM on an empty stomach with a tablespoon of oil... and I've also had it in the middle of the day on a full stomach of a hearty breakfast and lunch. With homemade alcohol tincture, it's a toss up. Regardless of what tricks I do w/my stomach, it could take 4+ hours or it could take 45 minutes. so by not reducing it, it still leaves me the chance of getting a quicker high. Plus, I don't mind the buzz from the alcohol
helps the drowsiness kick inThe only edibles that are consistent and hit me within 45-75minutes are dispensary-bought ones (except RSO of course)... cookies, gummies, butters, chocolates etc. I wonder if they have some kind of special step or process or ingredient that makes it consistent.

actually, I'd rather use this as a sleep aid then a recreational high. So when you say "lose thc", do you mean that it converts to CBN? If that's the case, then maybe I should store it on a window sill in a clear jar after straining? What do you think ?

Idk Everytime I've had any edible it hits me like clock work no more than 2 hours...sometimes as soon as 30 mins...my homemade extractions seem to be better than the dispensaries imo and I seen it do the exact same thing for others 30 mins -2 hrs...idk about it taking 4+ hours unless ...maybe you have a slower metabolism or a bad batch mixed with placebo only two things it could be.I was thinking of doing that but then I remembered that any time I have RSO from the dispensary, it takes fxcking HOURS and HOURS to kick in, even when I have it with fat.

What I mean by "lose THC" is if it gets to hot and I'm talking about 248+ F degrees in the oven you start scorching the THCA...once you oxide the THCA it starts to turn into CBN and a number of other compounds CBDA (176F-275F), THC DELTA 9(311F-315F), CBD (320F-356F), THC DELTA 8 (347F-351F) as the temps go up make new compounds available
If your looking for CBN there is two ways to "unlock" that
1.CBN increases with prolonged exposure to heat,oxygen, and light. So yes you could expose it the sun on the window seal, open to oxygen etc..but it is not ideal if you need it medicinally I wouldn't do it besides for a fun project on the side
2.Get a vaporizer and turn it up to 365F that is the boiling point of CBN...which is alot faster than waiting monthes and monthes for the CBN to oxide naturally
CBN is a pyschoactive compound and supposedly the strongest sedative cannabinoid....it's just not as pyschoactive as THC DELTA 9
CBN is great for nighttime meds it is rich in cannaflavin A...also CBE is great for night meds it is rich in linalool
CBE is a synergistic compound to CBD meaning they work together in cooperation so you really don't want one without the other
CBE increases with prolong exposure to heat, oxygen, and light but like I said takes to long....the boiling point is 383F
Anything over 400 degrees is considered smoke not vapor
Basically temperature IS VERY VERY important...it's the "key" that unlocks everything so use this information to ur advantage
edibles were my specialty that's how I started learning about temps
I uploaded the charts here ↓↓↓

It’s rso. And I didn’t but it for me. My wife wanted to try something new. Like I said. Rosin and waxes are more sedating and medicating for us. Even tincture drops. All same shit. I feel like these more complex extractions are more less for the people who suffer epilepsy or any Siezer based type disability

Yea I agree with you on disability thing and I love rosin especially one at the perfect temp...back to the feco one night I accidentally ate too much I really had to sit down tho man I could "hear my thoughts" lmao which don't we always but you know what I mean...it felt like a acid trip that's why I stress it so much to be careful I literally couldn't do anything but lay on the floor and look up...and I've goin on 15 years of smoking herb and still was intense

strained it this morning. Took 2droppers. Kicked in at about 50 minutes. Not as sedative as I hoped. I was laying in bed watching a documentary and rather than focusing on it while I pass out, my mind was going off on its own and I also kept wanting to reach for my phone and dilly dally or flip through the tv channels etc. I guess I’ll leave it cover the jar with some breathable cloth and set it on the window sill for a few more months. It it did taste so much better than oven decarbed tincture.

Yes it's goin to taste better...because you added no heat you preserved all the terps and flavors lol I'm jealous...I would try to use it up this year tho doesn't last forever and you already have had it for a year..right?

About ten months. But when you say it doesn’t last, will it just have more of a put-you-to-sleep effect or NO EFFECT?

It has a shelf life like anything else...so usually THC after about 1-2 years degrades and becomes less potent...the ticture it self will last for years but you start to lose compounds with time...and yes the longer you have it the more "sleepy" CBN effect you will have
I keep forgetting your not really in it for the THC...your after the CBN

This is from a similar jar. This film concerns me but I think I may have seen it on fresh batches (that I’ve invested with no problem) as well. If you could take a close look and tell me if you’d ingest it or not, I’d appreciate it.

I've had film like that before and Ive filtered it with a coffee filter a couple times...and sometimes I couldn't get it all out and would use it anyways...I've seen that exact film before...does it mix when u shake it ?

It separates but doesn’t mix in. It returns back to its filmy state.

Sounds like what I had...every batch almost had it...nothing I would worry about it like I said filter it out a couple times with a coffee filter...becareful don't spill any but yea even after you filter it there might be a little bit left
