Dangers of making gummies!


If reducing your tincture on the stove in a skillet DO NOT underestimate the volatility of the grain alcohol! Almost burned the kitchen down when I didn’t emphasize the importance of LOW temperature on the stove to my wife. I had a dozen roses next to it that caught fire which got the paper towels next to it going so I just grabbed the skillet and tossed it out into the yard and due to the adrenaline rush didn’t even know I was burned till several minutes later!

You know those are 3rd degree and highly susceptible to infection? I would get medical attention if you haven’t.


This happened in 05’

I went to the ER that night, dr said it’ll be alright but nurse said to go to the burn unit. My machismo sided with the dr. and after 2 1/2 weeks later alls well. Probably just alittle lucky too :four_leaf_clover:

Actually after about 2 hours later the burning :fire: pain subsided and didn’t have any pain afterwards till it started itching from the healing :mending_heart:! I wondered if the oil seeped into my system and kept the pain to a minimum?

Wow that’s pretty expensive! Do you have one? Wondering how efficient it is

Glad to hear it. I know it hurts. Worst pain I ever felt in my life. Keep it clean. My wife was making tator tots in a pot. Turned the stove on high, got high, fell asleep. I woke up to 5’ flames in a boiling pot of grease. I don’t know (to save our first house) why but I carried it out of the house. Same as you, the adrenaline took over until the fire was out. After that I went into shock. Pain never ended until I got a fentanyl injection at the hospital. My poor wife felt so bad. I’m glad you had it looked at and your home is okay.

Oh yea I think that was a big part. Happy you are ok :+1::blush::v:

Yes; been using one for a couple of years. You can tailor your extract profile during the ethanol wash so you can do full-spectrum extract or one more suited to dabs. I usually run 4 or 5 cold runs to produce an oz. of oil. That will last me most of a year.

Oil can be dosed much more precisely too.

You would have a hard time hurting yourself with that unit.

I suppose that’s possible, similar to sublingual dosing (?) :man_shrugging:t3:
