What is Reddit's opinion of Herb Affair Clear Empty Gelatin Capsules - 1000 Count (00)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Have done it many times. Also often fly back from CO to MA with flower-not as much need now obviously.

I see many people bring joints. I use a dry herb vape which I always clean and put in my carry on (don't put it in checked because of the battery). For the flower, since I use a vape, I need to grind it fairly fine so I grind a bunch and put it in empty size 00 gelatin capsules-very easy with a micro lab spoon I got from Amazon. Then I throw the capsules in with my vitamins/supplements. I've never had a problem. But I was nervous the first couple of times.

I have a similar issue, and I crush and re-pill my supplements. It's quite the project, but if you're determined and up for it, I definitely recommend it! You can buy empty capsules on Amazon, and they come in all kinds of sizes. I have some really tiny ones from when I did this for a sick cat who wouldn't swallow a bitter pill (It's how I got the idea to do it for myself! lol). The ones I linked are the standard capsule size, like a tylenol capsule or something similar.

Basically, I crush them in a pill crusher, pour the powder into a tiny funnel that is fitted inside the capsule end, and close it up with the other end of the capsule. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat. I try to keep groups of capsules together (one supplement pill's worth) because it's not exactly scientific, dumping the powder into the capsules without measuring. So that way I ensure I take the correct amount every time.

Edited to add: Don't crush and re-pill anything that is time-released. If you're not sure, ask a pharmacist. You don't want to accidentally give yourself a super high dose of something all at once because it was meant in its original form to dissolve slowly into your system. This is probably not the case for pretty much any supplement, but I thought I'd mention it in case you're thinking of applying this technique to any other medicine.

/r/treedibles/ is a great resource, I started there, and have tested through trial and error. Here's a quick recipe for CBD caps.

• Buy some Sour Tsunami (Usually the highest CBD we can get in Whatcom County - with the lowest THC%) I typically get .05% THC and 12-14% CBD
• Break it up (the flower) into popcorn size chunks, put it into a pie plate / dish, cover with aluminum foil, preheat oven to 240, and bake for 40-45mins
• Remove from oven and let rest for 15-20 mins - This is Decarboxilation
• Grab your handy electric coffee grinder - and grind the crap out of your decarb'd flower
• In your crockpot (for 1/2oz of flower use 1/2 a bottle of organic coconut oil and a full bottle for a full oz of flower... you can play around with the amounts and find what works best for you). Start warming coconut oil with 1 - 2 TBsp's of Lecithin... stir until occasionally until the Lecithin is almost completely dissolved.
• Add ground flower from coffee grinder and set your crockpot to Low - for 3hrs, stir every 20-30mins.
• Now your house should smell AMAZING ;) and you have a liquid that you can either strain through a tight mesh or cheesecloth, or just leave it - again your call, experiment, find what works best for you.
• Head over to Amazon and pick up 1k empty 00 capsules and a Walgreens True Easy Oral Syringe
• Use the syringe to fill the long side of an empty 00 cap, pop the lid on, wait to hear the 'click' - Then I put them into a ramekin and into the freezer so that the coconut oil will reconstitute.
  

Also, if you don't mind higher THC in your CBD med's - check out the Girl Scout Cookies CBD as it's about 5% THC but a whopping 23% CBD!!! When I'm making my own personal batches I add some high % Keif and what not too. And last but not least, start with 1 cap, and wait at LEAST 2hrs before trying more... once you figure out what works for you and your pain levels... it's pretty freaking awesome! Oh, and I get about 150 caps per 1/2oz - compared to what they're selling in the stores 10 caps for $40 - it's much more bang for your buck if you DIY!

(Tools needed: Crockpot, grinder, Lecithin, 00 caps, syringe, some good CBD flower, and a bit of patience)

TL;DR - This is how I make my pain meds at home.

Hi... I do get my capsules from Amazon. I have used these but they are all similar. Sizes differ. Size "00" is usually the standard. Size "0" will be smaller and size '"000" is the largest but they are way huge.

Amazon, Herb Affair has the best quality capsules IMO. They have gelatin and veg caps.

Yes, while sprinkling it in your PBJ can still get you high, it does taste terrible.

Easiest.

Or cook with dirt simple cannabutter. While pot brownies and rice crispy treats don't always taste great, they're still more palatable than munching on ABV.

the amazonia is great, some people mix it with flourite.

you save a lot of hassle pre-fertilizing the soil... you can always go with something like osmocote plus and throw it down before the soil http://www.lowes.com/pd/Osmocote-2-lb-Smart-Release-Plant-Food-Plus-Outdoor-and-Indoor-Food-15-9-12/50094184?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-LawnGarden-_-PlantFood-_-50094184:Osmocote&amp;CAWELAID=&amp;kpid=50094184&amp;CAGPSPN=pla&amp;store_code=1535&amp;k_clic...

then you just put root tabs in with either gelcapped osmocote or the seachem root tabs (the api ones are garbage).

as for the plants, MC is far easier to grow, but need to be careful with pruning.. if you cut, you'll end up with browning leaves. I've actually grown to like the S repens more in that regard, but the MC looks very nice in person. I personally haven't tried the DBT in this tank, but I am not a huge fan of it in the first place.
