I discovered this company after previously using a big company in Las Vegas that I had issues with. This product exceeded my expectations AND was confirmed by my sending samples of the following: Raw Product powdered, Raw Decarbed Powder, Magical Butter MCT CBD oil AND CBD tincture (using 200 proof Extractohol). The raw product was a bit lower in %CBD than advertised (I knew that this could happen from product description). THE DECARBOXYLATED POWDER HAD A POTENCY OF 260 MG/G FOR THE CBD AND ALSO HAD THC 6MG/GRAM!! The CBD Tincture had 15mg of CBD per gram and the CBD oil that I made had 12mg/gram. I had the lab repeat the potency test on the CBD decarbed powder and this was confirmed. As to why this happened, the biggest component was that the decarboxylation procedure took out water (along with other “reactions” that took place).
Now things have changed in that I am taking CBD Decarbed Powder and putting it into a smoothie. I use a coffee grinder after decarboxylating and sift it before putting it in a storage light free mason jar. Taking two grams of this (520mg CBD) also gives me 12mg of THC and I definitely did feel a nice psychoactive effect from this powder (?entourage effect). I have an Ecru 3 oz Decarboxylator which allows me to actually put in 4 oz of trim. I quickly decarbed my 15lbs!!!
I then weighed out 140 gram portions of this decarbed trim, vacusealing them for future oral consumption OR to use in my Magical Butter Machine to make tincture and oils. Since my CBD oil product only had a potency of 12mg/gram, I wanted to boost it up to 50mg/g for topical use. This was accomplished by making the alcohol tincture and just evaporating off al of the alcohol (assisted only by a little fan) for 24 hours. Then I used a lot of math to compute how much of this evaporated product to add to my lower potency CBD oil. I did not have this high potency product tested, but it is clearly more potent and now I have a topical that is 50mg/g!! By the way, covering the area where a topical is applied with syran wrap further increases the potency by increasing the absorption. Another thing is that I take 1 tablespoon of MCT coconut oil and put that into my CBD smoothie to increase the absorption and also to obtain the health benefits of this MCT coconut oil.
I am a retired physician and am now using the products to help folks and animals and have had excellent feedback about the effects. Dosing my alpacas to find a sedative dose is a “work in progress.” My veterinarian said that Alpacas typically need much higher doses of medications (not sure why). My alpacas weigh about 120lbs each. Getting the CBD into them was a challenge, but mixing the tincture in with their pelleted treats and allowing 24 hours for evaporation of the alcohol seemed to work. I have put this alpaca project on hold for now and will revisit later.
Thank you to Rogue for this Game Changer!!! Having some lung issues has prompted me to switch to ALL edibles. Edibles create a situation where onset of action is slow and effect is prolonged!! For any folks who might consider themselves to be addicted to smoking/vaping, switching to all edibles would result in a much lower “addiction potential.” Longer duration of action is one of the reasons why CBD has helped with relaxation/sleep.
