We all know the drawbacks of smoking, right? If you’re on the hunt for an alternative way to experience a high—without the harmful effects of smoking—or need a discreet option for public settings like concerts or significant events, then look no further than homemade THC pills. These little gems are not only effortless to make but also offer controlled dosing.
What are THC Pills?
The concept is straightforward: THC pills are capsules filled with a THC-infused mixture ready for absorption into your system. Dosing is a breeze, making these pills an ideal choice for both newbies and seasoned cannabis users.
Convenience: THC pills are easy to carry, store, and consume.
Discreet: THC pills offer a level of discretion that smoking or even vaping can’t provide.
What You’ll Need:
Olive/Vegetable/Hemp oil
Cannabis (your chosen amount)
A grinder for the cannabis
A heat source, e.g., stove
A bowl for mixing and grinding
Empty pill capsules – you can buy them online, and vegetarian versions are available.
A small spoon
Step-by-Step Guide to Making THC Pills
Step 1: Calculate the Dosage
Each THC pill will represent one dose. To calculate the dosage, you’ll need to know the THC percentage in your chosen cannabis. For example, if your strain has 10% THC, then 1 gram will contain 100mg of THC. Top-quality strains can pack 20-25% THC, so adjust your calculations accordingly. As a general rule, try making 5 THC pills from one gram of cannabis. Those new to cannabis can halve this dose.
Step 2: Prepare and Decarboxylate
Grind your herbs finely and spread them on baking paper. Place this in the oven for 45-60 minutes to decarboxylate the cannabis, activating the THC for consumption. If you’re using already vaped cannabis (AVB), you can skip the decarboxylation process. Remove it from the oven, saturate it with just enough oil, and grind for about a minute. Transfer this mixture to a heated pan.
Step 3: Heat and Mix
Keep the heat moderate and stir the mixture for 15 minutes, transforming it into a paste. Ensure the mixture doesn’t get too hot.
Step 4: Cool Down
Allow the THC-infused paste to cool down to room temperature.
Step 5: Capsule Filling
Use a small spoon to transfer the cooled mixture into your empty capsules. Filtering is optional since you’ll be swallowing these THC pills, making them ready for storage. Please keep them in the freezer for the best results.
A Guide to Dosage
When it comes to THC pills, dosage is crucial for the experience you’re aiming for. Here’s a general guide:
Low Dose: 10mg of THC
Medium Dose: 50mg of THC
High Dose: 100mg of THC
Remember, these are general guidelines. Individual tolerance varies, so it’s always best to start low and slow.
Dosage Calculator: Know Your Numbers
Understanding the THC content in your chosen cannabis can help you accurately dose your THC pills. The general rule of thumb is: in cannabis with 10% THC, 1g contains 100mg of THC. Let’s explore some examples based on this:
15% THC cannabis: 1g contains 150mg of THC
20% THC cannabis: 1g contains 200mg of THC
22% THC cannabis: 1g contains 220mg of THC
24% THC cannabis: 1g contains 240mg of THC
28% THC cannabis: 1g contains 280mg of THC
Using these numbers, you can adjust your dosage accurately, especially if you’re using potent strains.
