Help? Please!

So I live in Illinois. As of November I have access to the state's medical marijuana program. I have been using mainly the harle-tsu stativa strain, which contains about 7% CBD and 6% THC.
Smoking it whenever I had the chance would almost always provide me with great relief. But, due to the fact that I am a student, and I won't go into specifics, I am unable to smoke it in my housing.

So, i made cannabis infused coconut oil and put it in gelatin capsules. ( I have made two batches already since November, each batch made about 70 capsules coming from about a 1/2 oz of weed each time.) And I do not seem to be experiencing any improvement in my condition. Blood tests still show inflammation and I do not feel any better and I have lost a lotttt of weight.

Is there anything i might be doing wrong? Do you guys have any suggestions on what I could do to make this work. I truly believe in marijuana's healing properties but this has not been working.

Should I maybe try vaping in the bathroom of my dorm, or would it still smell? I hear the smell goes away faster.

Please help, I need to make this work. I won't be able to keep buying this marijuana if it doesn't work...

I also live in Illinois. When I was in college I used a one hitter and would go outside to use it. I would highly recommend that you DON'T smoke in the dorms.

The vaping that I've been around doesn't smell much at all. Could probably be covered up with a scented candle

Sounds like you need more in your system. Either that or it's not gonna work for you. I would try upping the dosage. Google realm of caring and you will find much better information than on this website.

I would try buying edibles. I buy chocolate bars, chocolate covered almonds, or things like hard candy that contain CBD.

How long are you cooking your stuff? The process to make my butter takes 8-10 hours. maybe try making a tincture? No smell, and it takes about 10 days for full extraction.

Did you decarboxylate the herb first? Might help. It transforms the compounds and makes it easier for your body to use. It will smell up a house fyi... did some quick search and it appears there might be a smell proof way with a mason jar. I'm sure if you go to sites that pertain to the use/legalization you'll find your answer.

I'm no expert but I have read that injesting CBD is less effective than smoking because your liver filters some out. If you're willing to do suppositories, supposedly that retains the highest percentage of absorbtion.
