I have perfected my method of making Full-Spectrum Extract Cannabis Oil with CBN, here it is:

- Choose your weed, probably Indica.

- Put into a large jar but do not pack buds tight.

- Add in several food-safe silica packs.

- Line a cardboard box with aluminum foil.

- Place your jar(s) inside the box, LEAVE LIDS OFF JARS (disregard the pic- previous batch)

- Shine a bright light directly onto the box for several days. I used a desk lamp at first but use indoor grow lights now.

- Your Cannabis should be brittle and faded now after several days.

- Now decarb the Cannabis at 285-295 degreesF for up to 2 hours in the oven. You want to bring that stuff almost to the point of smoking. Think dry herb vape concept. Monitor your oven closely, if you burn it, your batch is gone.

You now have CBN bud. You have degraded the THC into CBN by purging it of moisture, blasting it with UV light, and roasting it with heat. Those are the 3 degradation factors. Now to the FECO.

I cured this batch of bud and threw it in 190 proof Everclear on June 1, 2025. It has been sitting in my freezer marinating for just over 1 year now. You do not need to do it that long, I am just really lazy. Here's the method:

- Strain/filter your plant matter from the alcohol. I start with standard kitchen strainers and cheesecloth and then use unbleached coffee filters.

- Pour your filtered alcohol extract into a flat glass dish, or a porcelain ramekin or measuring cup if you want a small test batch.

- Evaporate the alcohol off using a series of fans, or a Rotovap if you're a baller. I place a seedling heat mat for gardening underneath the dish which helps evaporation with the fans, you can also use a heated blanket. DO NOT USE AN OVEN OR OPEN FLAME for this, dear Lord I cannot stress this enough. You are creating ethanol gas which is volatile as all hell. Save the long sleep for the CBN.

You now have CBN FECO. You can heat up a liquid ounce of fractionated coconut oil and suspend it in that for oral use with a dropper, you can cram it into capsules with a toothpick, you can cook with it, or you can just raw dog it.

I cant wait to try this batch! Give me some feedback please!

We just had found a humpback whale mother with her very young calf. The dorsal fin was still folded of the litte one. She was playing and dancing around her mother when we saw something different and white floating at the surface. When we approached I was certain that we just found something incredible...leftovers from this baby's lunch!

As whales are mammals they nurse their baby's like all other mammals do! With the mother giving milk so their offspring grows fast and strong.

Whale milk contains up to 50% fat and 15% protein. So with a baby drinking more than 150 liters per day they can grow up to 45 kilos per day and develop a thick blubber insulation, which they need for their long migration up north.

When I find myself struggling with any form of negative emotion that prevents me from moving forward with positivity and happiness, I find it necessary to remove myself from all screens, turn my phone off, and get outside in some form.

Gardening helps me unwind, but often just being outside and looking at nature will allow me to breathe deeply and reset my central nervous system enough to stop taking things so personally, and allow myself the freedom to not worry about the world or anything in it for a brief time. It's one form of meditation-medication for me.

I do my best to prioritize my wellness and health, but sometimes, life and the tasks at hand can get to be a little much. At times, it has led me to depression. Years ago, I started learning tools and tricks to catch this in advance.

Right now is one of those times. I can feel myself feeling pulled in so many directions, by my own doing, that it seems as if any plan that I make ends up getting changed. I can tell that I have been reacting lately instead of responding. This is what I need to work in.

I have a group of people who give me advice, and I love them for it. My goal now is to take time away from things that have been forcing me to react, and replace them with things I need to get done as well as adventure time in the woods with my Golden Retriever, Faith.

Does anyone else try to catch these things in advance to keep from going into depression? If so, what things help you guys re-center and get back to a place of peace and sanity again?
