Making capsules!!! Is there a device that can do this?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew of a "capsule maker" that one could use to put shroom powder into capsules. My husband is willing to pay money for a good one.
Does anyone know where I could find one of these to make shroom powder capsules?
thanks

I bought mine from http://www.capsuleconnection.com. It works splendidly and it?s reasonably priced. They shipped it quickly too.

question.... wouldnt you have to take a shit load of capsules to get enough mushroom powder to feel a trip?
How many capsules would it take to ingest say.... 2.5 grams or so???

Cool, thanks guys!!
A couple of questions:
1.) Are the Gelatin capsules, or the Vegetable capsules better for mushroom powder ingestion?
2.) Would you recommend getting the "0" or "00" size of capsules?
3.) How much mushroom powder do each of these sizes hold per capsule?
Thanks everyone

1)If i remember right, the Veg. takes longer to dissolve. 2)I have the "00" and have trouble getting them down. My friends can get them down with no problems. see my above post. 3)Don't remember. My normal dose was 6 caps for a good trip. Wasn't an 1/8.

1. I use the gelatin caps, didn't see any point in the veg caps as I'm not a vegetarian or jewish. 2. I use the "00" size. 3. I get about .35 grams in my "00" caps. I imagine with a finer grind and more forceful pressings, .5 grams would not be out of the question. Edited to add: I would just advise a little lower dose with caps the first time you try them. I normally trip very good (level 3 & 4) on 4 dry grams when eating the whole dried shrooms, but the same amount in caps had me tripping very hard (level 5). I imagine it was all the powdered shrooms hitting my system at once that did that.

I haven?t actually had the pleasure of trying my capsules yet, as my capsules and machine are a new addition to me. I bought vegetable caps, and I have heard they do take longer than their gelatin forerunners to break down (I think about 10 minutes more). Supposedly the caps themselves also keep longer as they don?t absorb moisture, but that would likely only affect you if you choose to buy them in bulk.
I have managed to pack pretty much exactly .5g into each 00 cap, which did take some time and effort to squish in.

By the way, I have tried the capsules now and it took 4 hours for them to come on for me, and 5 for my friend who dosed at the same time. Neither of us ate beforehand, so I assume the vegetable capsules just take a really long time to dissolve? I have to figure out how to fix this one.

Vegicaps can be hard to digest... but you can always open the caps and down the powder with some oj or chocolate. Gel caps are much easier to digest.

Does putting shrooms in caps make it a little easier on your stomach?

I don't know about you guys; but I'm a real sissy when it comes to taking pills; must be something wrong with me, 'cause I always seem to get the pill stuck in my throat, even though I use liquids to swallow and I don't place them wrong or some shit like that... It's just very hard for me to swallow pills without suffocating. Do any of you guys come across this? I mean, swallowing 30 big pills; for me, that's far worse than just eating those shroomies...

Just wanted to update this to say that Kevin and I capsuled all of our shrooms yesterday. It was awesomely easy with the Capsule Connection. We haven't had a chance to dose on them yet, but when we do, a trip report will be on the way!
Oh yeah, and we fit about 0.32g into each capsule.
