Help - oils & capsules

[sfabry74]

Hi all,

So I am soooo new to this and have no idea what I am doing. I live in a state where it is not legal, medical or otherwise, but I may have access to oil in syringes in the near future. I have tried smoking and hate smoking it but have had some relief, but it is very temporary, so obviously would need to smoke daily to continue that relief....not something I am comfortable doing.

So, these syringes with oil....I was thinking of making capsules? So, how does one know how many milligrams are in how much of the oil??? Does it say on the syringe that say 1mil = 1mg, or something to that effect? Also, anyone dong that? Filling capsules and taking it that way? For a newbie with no experience using marijuana, what kind of dosing would you recommend someone start out at...would you dose that in one cap, or several caps over the day?? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks so much!!

If you're supply comes from a gov. licensed grower it'll probably have the THC/CBD ratios listed on the container. should say X mg of CBD/ml, same with THC If it comes from an underground dispensary it probably won't. This goes for oils or plant material. Witch makes it hard to figure what ratio works for you. How would you get the oil in capsules? The oil I get is suspended in sunflower oil, and I use a 1ml syringe, up to 8ml/day. that's the equivalent of one gr. of dried M each day. But most days I can use less, 1ml four times a day. Hope this helps. Pete

Thanks Pete, they sell clear empty capsules online or sometimes even at Walgreens, & you just open them up inject some oil in, close them back up, & viola...but that helps with the dosing at least. I have seen cancer pts use the capsules, but maybe because they are taking in such higher doses & this way they can bypass the taste, but 1ml prob could just be put under your tongue????

yes ,,actually doesn't have to be under the tongue, I just "shoot and swallow". Tastes like sunflower seed oil with a slight "grassy" taste. Not unpleasant at all. Do you know what you're getting as far as CBD/THC content? It seems that some THC is necessary to make the CBD work better, although I don't know what the minimum THC content would be. I, like everyone else am doing my own research. LOL. I've tried 10% THC, 17% CBD, with good results. I can feel my gut settle down bout twenty minutes after taking a dose. Just ordered some <2% THC, 20% CBD. I'm hoping this will work as well, and will let me pass a drug test at work. I'll make sure to post results. Pete

I just eat it straight or put on crackers. Do you know how much THC and CBD are in the oil you're getting?
