Nice! Your gonna love it!
Now which one LOL. Ongrok,majic butter ???
Question: would an ounce of good bud per 2 cups of geee butter be strong enough???
@Audiofreak i have a very high tolerance. I usually run the same batch thru 2-3x to get to my desired strength using the french press screen method as opposed to the power pods and i always do new bud every run. I feel like that last part is a given but i know some people use the same coffee grinds 2x so i figured id throw that out there lol

When you say run the batch 2x3x do you mean extra time like 4/6 hours? And with a fresh load of buds?

Yep to do a strong batch its an all day thing lol. I wont be getting a new levo 2 tho. Im thinking about either the ardent fx, magical butter machine, or levo c next go around as i can dry and decarb must faster in the oven. Levo 2 was just too cheaply made for the $300 asking price and the amount of issues im having due to faulty products and or cheap manufacturing
Just recieved my Ardent FX.

Iāve had success with NugSmasher products (I have their āOG Rosin Pressā but I donāt think they make that model anymore), but there are a lot of great presses out there these days. I am a huge fan of edibles (concerned about my lungs as I get older, and I also race mountain bikes lol) so I usually process my harvests as follows:
- I dry and cure everything (except if Iām making live rosin where itās immediate freezing of the whole plant)
- I keep only the best of the best āColasā for smoking and gifting
- Then Dry Sift
- Then Bubble hash
- Then I press most of the bubble hash into rosin
- Then I decarb the bubble hash rosin in the same rosin press (decarboxylation chamber)
The result can be put on a chocolate, or cookie for an awesome ānatural, terpy, earthyā treat. Alternatively you can āsuspendā, AKA dissolve, the decarboxylated rosin in MCT oil and use it to make true ediblesā¦cookies, brownies, candies, gummies, etc. A word of warning for the uninitiated edible userā¦titrate your dose upā¦not down. Itās really easy to overdo it with edibles. IMHO edibles offer the most satisfying and long lasting cannabis experienceā¦but it can be insanely intense and long lasting if you overdo it! Many people end up having to take a trip to the hospital if they eat too much. As a point of reference Iāve consumed an edible every single night for the past 2+ yearsā¦and Iāve overdone it a couple times lol 
never resulted in a trip to the hospital tho, and I still love them!
Occasionally, Iāll do whole plant live rosin, but Iāve been burned a couple times with certain strains that just didnāt ādumpā. In my experience the plants that produce a āslick greasy resinā as opposed to a āsticky resinā just donāt seem to work well for solventless extractions. Certain strain are ādumpersā meaning theyāll dump a lot of trichomes as part of the extract.
Back in the day Iād also make āHoneyā and āCherryā oil using 100% Isopropyl Alcohol as a solvent for extract. Iām not into solvents at all these days for obvious reasons.
This flower is ILGMās āSunset Sherbetā - Dumps well for meā¦

Wife doesnāt like me doing edibles for that reason. Not that I ever had to go to the hospital, she just didnāt like seeing me on the floor not being able to moveā¦or wanting to move! And then after she left me there and went to bed, 15 minutes of sweating buckets, I can see why folks go to the hospital. Me, I figured Iāve been this stoned before (on mushrooms), once the peak passes, Iāll be fine! And I was. But ya, can see why some people think theyāre gonna die! Glad that you canāt OD on weed!

No need to go to the hospital over thc. Just lay there calmly and bargain with God. Plead to not be the first person ever to die from weed. Once you do that for a bit the peak passes and itās cool. Works every time. Been there myself. Lol.

Haha iāve been there before. I thought my tolerance is stupid high and it was me and my buddies first time making edibles. We threw almost an oz an a half into butter and made some super potent stuff then made brownies with ALL the butter. I ate 2 brownies out of 10 and i was wishing for death. I felt blackout drunk. Couldnt walk could hardly talk and felt like throwing up nonstop. Finally got to the point where i couldnt stop throwing up and threw up blood it was crazy. After that i just remembered laying in bed wishing to fall asleep to end this madness. After that edibles dont do much. Couldnt even tell you how much mg per brownie but it was high like me lmao

What levo model would you suggest? Iām wanting to make concentrates like oil or rosin for dab.
2 Likes
If getting a levo they have an upgraded model. Larger capacity than the levo 2. I never use thw dry and decarb feature. Too small on levo 2. I dry and decarb in the oven. Just an FYI. Dry the weed totally. Then decarb. The oil will come out with a nutty taste over a weedy taste. If i did not tell you my baked goods were laced you wouldnt know till you hit tje couch paralyzedā¦lol.

I wouldnt suggest a levo for making oil or rosin for dab. If your talking about alcohol infusions the magical butter machine seems to be where its at for that. I have only used my levo 2 for mct oil and ghee for edibles. Even then im not sure i could reccommend the levo 2 anymore after the issues i had. The levo C model seems to be the best bang for your buck from levo as mentioned above the dry and decarb features are about useless if you wanna have over an 8th of grinded flower per batch. I will probably upgrade to a levo c or levo lux next time i have some spare money. Levo lux is just a fancier levo 2 with issues they addressed with the levo 2 but refused to fix as they could just sell a higher end model with the issues fixed smh
Cannabis and athletics. Hell ya it goes together. There aināt nothing better in this world than some solid smoke. Hereās a few different ideasā¦
Due to the fact that Iām a runner I try to dabble in different ways to consume cannabis. We like to make a good portion of ours into bubble hash. This allowing more of a punch on impact. Lol
I also enjoying making caps. I infuse fish oil (joints, inflammation) with cannabis and hash (because I love both). This is the same infusion process as making butter. I then add peppermint oil (stomach discomfort) and coconut oil (natural energy acid).
I like to take these while Iām running as they give you a great soothing effects. Plus they are way easier on the stomach than all the gummies I would have to take.
I also like to keep a good supply of infused Olive Oil and butter on hand. This gives me the option to infused meals while Iām cooking.
Andā¦. I like to always have a supply of infused pasta in the freezer along with a bag of infused cookies. Why you may ask? Well why not lol
So next time someone tells you pot head stoners arenāt athletic and lazy. You tell them to come run in the hills with the hippie.
Iāll show them the light! Lol

My mini brownies cause me trouble for an extra 12 hours to clear the chemical, per.
50 grams kief used in batch of brownies, after decarbing. one brownie max daily. Three in a day was clearly, too much. Chocolate chips, butter, coconut oil, and ingredients from box. Decarb kief and put in blender with warm oil/butter, then mix in dry ingredients. Use coconut shreds if using leaf.
