Got a recipe?

I want too make my own edibles but dont even know where to start
THC is fat soluble, so you will want to get it into olive oil/butter/coconut oil.

Chemistry requires you have to heat the cannabis to activate it either before or during the transfer to the lipids of choice.

Look for 'cannabutter' for more help. Some fats might be better than others.

So I bought a crockpot and a strainer.

Friend said just throw butter and weed in and let it sit then take out the butter then eat

this actually works good

the slow cook makes strong butter

Use it to bake, anything you can use butter for really

dosing can be tricky, so clear your calendar til you get it wired, or have an understanding wife

Cannabutter a la 9'4....


1-) heat an once (28g) at 104 C (220 F) for 30 minutes

2-) grind preheated (decarboxylated) herbs to powder

3-) while heating herbs, bring 2 pints mineral water to soft (small bubbling) boil

4-) insert 2 bars (not the flat ones, the square ones, measure escapes me right now) of organic butter

5-) when butter melts, insert ground herbs

6-) bring to hard boil, let boil for 15-25 minutes, until the entire room smells "lovely"

7-) strain powder out using cloth, into glass bowl, let cool to room temp

8 -) place bowl in fridge until butter separates from water

Enjoy!

Needed: 2 pints mineral water, 2 bars butter, 28 grams selected herbs, cheese cloth, glass bowl

You can put other stuff in too, assuming the flavor isn't to your taste buds pleasure.

Try rosemary cannabutter, or Jasmin cannabutter. This way you not only benefit from the canna, but also the healing properties of the other taste infusing herbs

Then there's 'funny honey'...take 'B' buds and put 'em in a jar with Smirnoff 100 proof, soak that for a few weeks, then strain the liquid off and put that in a pan and simmer on low heat to get the alcohol out, that will yield about half the liquid. Then add equal amount of honey and keep simmering to get more alcohol out. Then use VERY sparingly...

I got some gummies the other day and they only had like 6mg of THC. Had to eat like 8 of them to feel anything.
Holy sh!t. To me, that seems like A TON of thc.

For example:
1/8 of flower, at 25% potency, has 87.5mg of thc (before ignition)
Ignition (not vaping) leaves you with maybe 50% of that thc.
So, that means smoking an entire 1/8 of decent weed would give you a dose of ~44mg.
You ingested about 45mg.

And yes, the different methods of use give wildly different effects (onset, duration, and potency/quality of the high)

Still though, that's a lot of THC for your body to store in fat.
I bet if you went on a run you would get high AF!

sh!t, I ate half of a 500 mg bag of gummies last night, definitely felt it, but not fooked up or anything. Time for another tolerance break I guess.

I used everclear (96gl) with an oz of weed one time, it’s a common remedio for arthritis, etc. 1/2 shot with juice and I was laid the fuck out. Very sparingly.

Edibles are the Cleveland Browns of weed.

Don't.
Do.
sh!t.
Lived on West side SC and grew in my apartment closet and after harvest I took all smaller buds and scraps and all made butter for my brownies. Two things stand out: First went to Giants game candlestick and one friend fell asleep during game passed out. Second I was going to visit my parents and on way picked up hitchhiker and offered him brownie. After the dude said nothing whole ride:bricks:

I dont ever feel anything edible wise if I eat less then 40mg

I am 230 lbs so maybe that is it.

Anyone have tips for smoking?

I got a vape but doesnt seem to get me super high or anything.

I need to get baked and go to sleep. I have PTSD from Iraq war and weed is what I use to turn my brain off and get quality sleep.

Anyone help me out? I just started smoking like 3 months ago

Obtain glass howitzer.

Place water and ice in appropriate places.

Load with crazy fire nuggets.

Fire bad.
