I want to experiment with making some stupid strong edibles & I can't find proper research on how much THC one can dissolve into oil before it's saturated and a waste of weed

While the specialists are here: I'm looking to switch away from oil as a medium: I need something a bit thicker, more viscous, and crucially it must be able to be mixed with color and flavor. I'm thinking I'd have better luck with one of the many industrial candy precursors with names like "paraffin sorbitol", but don't know where to start. I basically need a neutral-to-sweet translucent slime with good absorption, any comrade got a lead?

    Basically a delicious and absurdly powerful orange flavored sap/syrup

    It almost perfectly dissolves in pure ethanol at any ratio.

    You do get an pretty overpowering alcohol and cannabis flavor though.

    If you add such a tincture to water or even just regular drinking strength spirits you get a cloudy mixture which I imagine is the resin crashing out of the solution.

    I think it's quite nice with herbal tea and honey.

    Lecithin might make it better dissolve in water, might also improve absorption but I've never bothered.
