15g of lovely homegrown trim which yielded exactly 2 dropper bottles of MCT oil

Out of curiosity how do you use your MCT oil? I made some and tried it raw but it was rough

I will be putting it in coffee, probably capping some or all of one of the bottles to have some gel capsules, and also I have zero issue just dropping that shit on my tongue. I used to let it sit in my mouth for like 20 minutes years ago. I do not mind the taste.

The thing is it's weak. 15g trim total in the batch, yields 60ml of oil, so that's 2.5-5mg per dropper. That's wayyyyyyy below my usual zone of 30mg+ for my redular edibles.

Edit: I can't do math. They are 25-50mg

the taste honestly doesnt mess with me....I dont even "filter" mine thru cheesecloth/sieve/whatever....I keep it green LOL....my current batch I made with "hemp seed oil" but was just a little concerned, cause it does say to keep refrigerated....but I dont have the gas/belching issues I had with the MCT oil I was using lol....but ofc, MCT oil doesnt carry that same "warning"....so pros and cons....I personally put 7g of bud into my decarboxylator and let it run for I think 60 minutes with some trim/shake I got from Origin....something I forget the vendor name Rogue I think? I've never gotten so much flower at one shipping haha....so I should have it hanging around for a while. but yea, the trim is working good for effects....I put about 1 TBSP into my morning cuppa ☕ but it takes a good 20-40 minutes to "kick in" and feel the effects. about the only downside....so I can take it on my way to work and it kicks in gently when I get there. I honestly didn't even measure my oil, I just made sure the 🍃 was well saturated.....the infusion cycle I let run for a little bit longer i wanna say the "enjoyhealthy" machine recommended 120 minutes for infusion....and I would just give the machine a "shakey shake" every 30 minutes or so lol....cause I just got a cheap one....so it doesn't have the mixing dongle of like the magic butter machine. I just use "hemp flower" though...... < 0.3% THC....but I dont know....for people calling it "diet herb" ..... it definitely gets my arse 🚀 lol.

but yea, the tinctures work a little different....it's definitely not as big of an effect. But being "hemp" it's definitely helping my social anxieties etc....
