There has been much talk and research into what is known as “canna caps”. Canna Caps are actually cannabis capsules, which are taken just like tablets. They are ideal for cannabis users who require medicinal relief from chronic pain conditions for example. Because of health reasons, many people don’t like the idea of smoking cannabis, so may wish to use a more direct method by swallowing a tablet, as if they were taking a pain killer.
It is important to note that a cannabis capsule will produce a psychoactive effect and will give you a high. If you do not want to get a “high” from using these canna caps, it may be a good idea to try CBD Oil as an alternative. The Canna Caps are ideal in the fight against chronic pain, aswell as anxiety, depression and even cancer, aswell as many other conditions. When taken in capsules, cannabis is transferred almost directly to the blood stream and can actually be more fast acting and stronger than smoking, so it is important not to take too many capsules.
A further advantage of Canna Caps is there portability and discreetness. Because they are in tablet form and odourless, it is less likely other people will identify that you are carrying and using cannabis, which will be a concern for some.
Many local dispensaries now distribute “Canna Caps” to their patients when prescribed. It is also possible to make these “Canna Caps” at home using a strain of your choice. It is important to note that it’s not as easy as adding a bud into a capsule and swallowing. It can take a little bit of practice to make the right “Canna Cap”, so hopefully this little recipe will help.
Ingredients and Equipment Required:
- 1.5g of Cannabis
- Approximately 7g of coconut oil. It is important that this is extra virgin oil
- Around 12 “00” sized gel caps. These are freely available in many health stores
- Slow cooker
- Bowl
- Pan
- Hot water
- Teaspoon
- Measuring spoons
- Syringe
- Weed Grinder
Instructions:
- First of all, take your slow cooker and set it to a low setting. Then add the oil mixed with the cannabis. I would then let the mixture cook for around 2 hours.
- After the cooking part is complete, it is important to let the mixture cool. Adding the hot mixture to the capsules will lead to breakage of the capsules, so wait for the cooling phase to end.
- Using your syringe, you can then add the mixture into your capsules.
If you require a low “hit”, I would advise taking just one “canna cap”. For a more potent feeling, then I would recommend taking two. Good luck!
