Turning raw distillate into a liquid that can be put in a dropper for edibles?
Hey everyone,
I bought some raw THC distillate with 93% potency, and my plan was to use a dropper to put 50~mg in random pre made snacks (oreos, gummies, etc..) but I've now learned how thick distillate is... which makes this impossible.
I've seen lots of recommendations to use terps to thin the distillate out, but this vendor has a note with something along the lines of "no room for terpene" because of the potency I believe? Not sure.
I'm trying to liquify it enough to actually be able to get it into a dropper.. would my best bet be making a butter/oil with it? Any suggestions / guides would be great.
Thanks!

Combine with equal amount coconut oil, will be like crisco consistency when stored cold but will easily liquify with very light heat and can easily be syringed up and will stay liquidy for a bit in the food, u were worried about hardening, with this it should never resolidify to anything harder than standard cold butter, perfectly edible.
This. You can absolutely thin your distillate with any Food Grade Oil if you're using it for edible consumption. Just make sure you're measuring doses before you cut so you don't mess up your calcs. A friend of mine uses Coconut Oil to thin his distillate out as well, although I doubt you'd see negative effects by using a cheaper or saturated fats(Fats that aren't solid at room temperature)
Well said! Coconut oil always seems to be the goto for canna idk why lol so just figured I'd stick with the commonly suggested mainstay, certainly any fat will do! And def measure, i usually just use the exact same amoint coconut oil as distillate by gram, then your math is easy peasy, double your thc and thats your weight to get your dosage per however much u add per snack.
Thank you. Would I heat up the distillate prior to combining with coconut oil?
Regardless, would I just mix the two together until I get the desired consistency? Some more direction on specifics would be greatly appreciated!
Nope not necessary, the best part about disty is that you dont have to decarb it, so you can plop your equal amount coco oil right into a glass dish with your disty as warm as needed to move it into your glass/pyrex dish and use low heat till it combines. It will very easily melt and combine into a homogenous liquid and from there add away! A children's oral medicine syringe with ml units works great.
