Cannabrex

Q: What is the Cannabrex Home Encapsulation System?
A: Also referred to as “The Cannabrex Kit”, the C.H.E.S. was designed for those who wish to benefit from the healing effects of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana), but wish to decrease, or stop, their smoking habit.
-------------
I have now made 72 capsules using the 3x formula with ice-extracted kif powder at the gold strength (3.4grams kif/24 pills).

The kit came as described and I used the guide straight of the site. The preparation was rather easy, and in under 1hr I was done my first batch. 30min of that you are waiting for the THC-a to decarbo.

Ingestion on an empty stomach with a joint chaser, provided me with a slight tingle after 15min (above the effects from the joint). Progressing nicely into a head stone within the first hour. Peak onset by two hours and then a slow decline over the next 4 more hours followed by a easy deep sleep.
Morning came, slightly more groggy than usual for a Monday.

Next pill, two and a half days later, taken 6hrs after last toke, on an empty stomach. Effects again felt around 15min and peak around 2hrs. Consistantly slow decline of stone for another 4 hours. Sleep just as deep this time even in a hotel room (which is odd for me). Next morning no noticeable groggy-ness.

Third pill, taken 4 days later, no marijuana smoked since before last pill and also on an empty stomach. This time the onset felt stronger, peaked again at 2hrs and seemed to hold much longer. Sleep this time not as easy, but still deep once asleep. No groggy feeling the next day.

Fourth pill taken after a day of smokin. Taken on an empty stomach. Onset slow this time, about 45min until effects began. By the two hour mark I had decided to have a second coffee of the day...within 5 min :bashhead: followed by :spank: . After an hour of speaking incoherently, sighing uncontrollably, and making a mess in the kitchen while preparing for a dinner party - normality was slightly restored. Enough that I could laugh at my previous incapacitated self. The wife also took a pill from the same lot, and did not achieve my altered state even with more caffeine in her system.

This was my experiences, with varying levels of smoke prior to ingesting the pills. Overall very pleasant and noticeable high.

My wife has tried these pills to help with chronic pain, restless sleep, and overall relaxation. In the initial trials she has found that she can reduce her Rx drug intake while using the Cannabrex. So far it seems to help.

Our roommate has also tried these capsules and has reported reduction in her Fibre Myalgia symptoms.

Best I can describe it is a hash brownie like high with some couch lock, yet surprisingly easy to go to the store and mingle with the public.

So there you have it.
Any questions?

I do not mind the taste and I have refined my baking method to the point where taste is a non issue. My wife on the other hand cannot stand the taste and finds these much easier to consume.
The capsules are much easier to store and transport, and are much easier for sensitive types to take.

True man great thing for those who dislike the taste or for travelling.

Sorry I know this is a old thread, I searched thru threads just didn't see any one ask before.

Did you/anyone use the Credit card payment?
I noticed they (Cannabrex) use pay-pal for CC payment.
I thought I had read or heard pay-pal was a NO NO to use.

Guess I should just take my lazy a$$ down & get the money order.

I have used pay-pal for all transaction without issue.

I've used it a few years now except I couldn't tolerate the green taste (the burps)from using bud. So after the first couple times I only make it with honey oil now.

I thought I was the only one who go those nasty burps from bud caps. Anyway, I find it's easier to just bake the bud into cookies. Problem solved.

How do you solve the problem of taste, shelf life, portability, consistency?
And this is not just for people who have never baked with or injested thc. I have baked with THC for many years and have found no solution that allows for ZERO taste (aside from the afterburp) - and this was crucial as the people that use this product have medical concerns and are not able to handle other baked goods.
Secondly this product can and will last for years without going rancid.
I can take the pills with me anywhere without concern for refrigeration.
And finally the dosage is very consistent unlike baked goods which always vary in potency.

I find producing 24 pills substantially easier than making canna-butter and then making brownies.

Hi, I have been making and using caps for two years now I almost never smoke. I don't notice any tolerance developing and I need to take them on a daily basis. I've tried the Cannabrex system, I've used the coconut oil blend. And I've used olive oil. To be honest I did not notice any difference in effects between the systems. The coconut oil was a bit of a pain to work with because it does start to solidify around 80 degrees which makes it harder to work with. I would definitely sugest get one of the capsule making machines. They do work better if you get a little something beforehand.

About how much oil is used for the 24 capsule kit?
Hash oil, or coconut oil?
Hash oil per 24 = 2.5/4grams (regular / extra strength)
Coconut per 24 = 6/8mL
Corstarch per 24 = 10/12grams

Store bought coconut oil is solid at room temp. Heat up coconut oil in glass jar, add hash or hash oil. mix together, then put lid on tight, place in hot water bath that is just under boiling and cook for 30 min.
Then mix in cornstarch. You need to mix very well to ensure consistent results. I use a coffee grinder or food processor. You want the overall consistancy to be slightly powedery. Not oily.
Then you pack equally into size 0 capsules.
This last step is very easy with the pill press you get from cannabrex.

The 'burp' issue is solved by making your capsules with kif powder or oil/resin.
We use kif powder for our personal use, as do many compassion clubs that use our system.

As for how much THC used per batch, it depends on what THC source you are using (raw cannabis, kif or hash, oil or resin) and then what strength you want your capsules to be. For example. I use kif powder and prefer my capsules to be gold strength (which is considered medium), so I use 3.4g kif powder for a batch of 24 capsules. This is roughly 0.14g of kif powder per capsule, but feels much stronger than you would think, due to the potency enhancer. The website User Guide can show you different examples of what is possible....
