I will bump this one time and if it doesn't get responses, I suppose I might start a new topic.

I use full spectrum CBD oil that I bought commercially every three days as part of my before bed routine. I don't use much and find it moderately helpful. I like THC Sativa, Indica, and blends, for other times and purposes.

So the question is what weed is the maker of that kind of commercial stuff using?

I want to buy something like that and make my own full spectrum CBD oil.

I would expect it to not be very expensive but I don't see this advertised at places selling other weed strains.

 

To add, I'm not pretending nor do I aspire to get a Phd in weed studies.

I've been learning what I want to and need to know for my purposes as I go along with satisfying success.

I use Silver Haze containing 10%CBD 10%THC. I make an infusion in the decarboxylator using extra virgin coconut oil. I have trouble sleeping due to arthritis and this works for me.

I know the stainless ones work, but my question was if the plastic ones work.

 

Will find out soon, as I ordered them already now

I affixed plastic ones where pigeons like to perch and they keep the birds off. In the portico where they built nests I had to use the long metal ones that Ivor refers to to deter them.

CBDa is a little more difficult to decarboxylate, requiring longer times and technically, higher temperatures. The issue with ‘home’ decarboxylation of CBDa is the degradation (oxidative) of other cannabinoids. You can expect all terpenes to be volatilized and evaporated off at that point. THCa will ultimately convert to CBN, which has 25% of the psychoactive attributes of THC. This won’t be a problem if THC is not what you are after, as suggested. To your question; it is difficult, without testing, to determine how much thermal degradation of CBD is taking place. Heat, oxygen and light are mostly responsible for degradation.

 

For a 97% conversion efficiency of CBDa, use 127c for 50 minutes or 130c for 20 minutes (technically)
 

I am in the CBD space, and use a lab grade, double-walled, borosilicate glass reactor to decarboxylate CBDa distillate (vacuum rotovaped first to distill off the ethanol first), circulating 130c oil through the outer wall, under constant circulation (both oil and distillate) for 30 minutes. This equates to 95-97% efficiency (tested). We start collecting terpenes off at 100c (mostly monoterpenes).

Thank you, Samui.

without a lab and proper testing you can't really know at all. some estimates can be made but even then. too many questions variables and unknowns. 

 

also cbd needs different times and temps compared to thc. 

Thank you for your reply.

I cannot smoke so I make extra virgin coconut oil infusion using a dedicated decarb appliance. Does the CBD content become degraded during the process and if so by how much? Merci beaucoup.

I bought a Herbability Infusion and Decarb machine. I like it but figuring out doses is tricky. You need to start slow and experiment with any product.

I have a Herbability too. Following the instructions I have made coconut oil infusion using 10 baht per gram KD with excellent results. I have found it to be quite strong so 1/2 teaspoon under the tongue I find sufficient for a pleasant high. Those with a higher tolerance than my own may need a little more.

Any recommendations once you get to the end of the initial Nord VPN (2 years + 4 months in my case), and are offered an auto-renewal at a much higher price (~ $100/year)?

 

Cancel, or try to, and see if they cough up an offer? Or just try to re-sign with them? (They may not allow that, unless you change details?

 

Switch to Express, Surfshark, Proton, other?

 

 

I still have over 1 year left on my own 2 year 4 month initial subscription. I have turned off auto renewal and will see what I am offered. Surfshark is now owned by Nord so should work well. Express I feel is rather overpriced. I have a free version of Proton but it is often detected and is slow. If I am not satisfied with the Nord renewal offer my wife will take advantage of the first time subscriber offer with them. I do like Nord though as it is very efficient.

Thanks Poilu! Where can I access this online video?

Download DLT e-Learning app. Everything is there for applying for renewal. You might want also to download DLT Smart Queue if you wish to book a time slot.

Thais dont need visas for Japan, that's why its a popular destination 

That is true. When my wife and I visit Japan she receive 15 days visa free.

They would demand Messerschmitt 109 because it has Benz engine.

I am diabetic but do not like to use artificial sweetener therefore I use low G I coconut blossom sugar (sap from the flower). The brand I buy is quite expensive compared to cane sugar but a 1kg tub lasts a very long time and has negligible coconut taste and is very good in coffee and to use in baking.

My Process is simple, but it does use the microwave. I use a litre at at a time of whole milk. 7.5 minutes on full temperature. After it has sat on the counter for about an hour to cool somewhat I add 2 tablespoons of yoghurt culture. This goes into a 1 litre insulated bucket and is left on the counter overnight. After about 12 hours I can decant, it's solid and firm.

 

But I really prefer Greek-style, so I strain the result using cheesecloth for another 3 or 4 hours. Voila.  I usually end up discarding about 3-400ml of whey liquid, because I haven't found a use for it yet..

 

Cheesecloth can be bought on Lazada. 

I do like Greek yoghurt also. I use the whey I have leftover from making Greek yoghurt to replace the water in bread baking. Whey has healthy enzymes and does impart a nice mild sour flavour to the loaf and the crumb it is softer.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong - but wasn't he elected as an MP in the last election? Doesn't he now have a duty to his electorate to attend parliament and campaign for all the things he promised them?

 

No he was not. He has never dared face the popular vote.

Need to click link.

According to Russian Telegram channels Wagner has now entered Voronezh, disposing of Russian army element sent to confront it. Wagner boss said war was started by Russian elites keen to take control of Ukraine resources. Poutine was going to install one of his family as president of Ukraine in order to facilitate the acquisition of the wealth.

Nah. Mormon missionary. They learn Thai so they can spread the word.

Yes, Mormon. I watched program about best language teachers and the Mormons were acknowledged as number one. All languages are a very intense 6 week course except Mandarin and Cantonese which are 9 weeks. Only the target language may be spoken. Nearly all students are fluent or close to fluency at the end, depending on language.

That is both Prawit and Anoutine who have now denied involvement and both have prime ministerial ambitions. Who will be the next branleur to step forward and deny.
