[MEGA] Edibles/Oral Cannabis

[freehugs]

Question for the tincture users. How long do you guys hold the dose in your mouth? And do you use alcohol or glycerin?

Bumping my question.

CH, do you have any input?

 

[Captain.Heroin]

You are making my mouth water Captain H!!! Especially since I haven't eaten breakfast yet!

I don't have access to hubby bars, but I have seen many pictures and reviews of them and damn they look delicious!!!

I heard that it's pretty hard to stop eating one when you begun because of the flavor, I don't doubt that !

I'd love to try a milk chocolate bar or the peanut butter crunch. Ship me some haha!

It really is! :D Once you start you just don't want to stop. My advice is to split a whole bar with a friend 50/50 so you each eat it at the same speed.

I actually thought Peanut Butter Crunch was pretty good! Why don't you move out to California?

Bumping my question.

CH, do you have any input?

Awww sorry Freehugs I have no idea. I have never had a tincture. I have SEEN tinctures for sale in dispensaries, but I was advised it was a poor deal. And knowing where I saw it for sale, I believed the person who told me.

I'm hoping Chainer will have some tincture experience. He seems to know a lot of specialty cannabinoid information. I have a friend who might know, I'll page him and wait for him to show up.

Thanks for bumping your question though freehugs; I want to know more about tinctures myself.

Large oral consumption of edibles: Tripping on cannabis...

* If a mod reads this post and feels there is a better title for this thread please change it... Thank you.

Edit* Thought I should mention that I can smoke all day long without any ill effects.

So, lately I have gotten back into making cannabis infused hot chocolate which is pretty easy to make. 2 days ago I made one batch with a gram of skunk #1, and then made another batch an hour later with a gram of Critical + which is big bud x skunk (C+ is stronger than you would think). I decarboxylate the inactive thc into the active form by throwing it in my Extreme Q vaporizer at 300 degrees F. for 5-7 minutes, empty it into microwave safe cup, cover with hershey's syrup, add 6 oz. whole milk, and microwave for two minutes opening it to stir ( if you try this make sure you watch the cup in the microwave or the milk will boil out of the cup all over your microwave).

Now to the reason for my post: How do you deal with the come up?

I swear that if you make this hot chocolate correctly with an appropriate amount of cannabis related to your tolerance you WILL experience a come up exactly like you would with a high dose of acid or shrooms.

I know some people will attempt to say just don't consume so much, but the reality for me is that the high this ROA provides is worth every ounce of discomfort incurred during the come up. It really is a mental battle for me because it feels like my heart is pumping like crazy, high levels of anxiety, some stomach discomfort, but the high that sets in once you plateau is amazing and something everybody who enjoys cannabis should experience at least once (to me it is almost spiritual).

Some things I do to deal with this are: hot shower: works sometimes but other times the symptoms are so strong that I can't even focus on the water hitting my face long enough to forget about, Benzos: works great but I feel they dull the trip/clarity I feel from the cannabis, Deep breathing/meditation: works at lower doses but doesn't touch the anxiety related to high doses, and telling myself I am just fucking high (or about to be): works at lower doses doesn't touch anxiety related to high doses.

So, for those who have experimented with high doses and dealt with the anxiety related to them: How do you cope?

Wait till you're stoned..... seriously???! Or valiums?

 

[ihatepipes]

Wait till you're stoned..... seriously???! Or valiums?

I don't understand the first part of your response, and benzos = valium xanax etc.. Have you ever tried properly made edibles before? I ask because the high is much different from smoking.

Also, the whole point of my post is to try and find a way to deal with the come up that doesn't dull the effects so I don't have to be (quite literally) mentally prepared to handle it.

a way to deal with the come up that doesn't dull the effects

Sit there and get ridiculously high whilst trying not to panic? I don't understand what else you expect us to say lol.

 

[ihatepipes]

LOL, I guess that is all there is to do/say about that then. It really is insane how RIDICULOUSLY high you can get if you eat enough pot.

Edit* Wow, I didn't realize there was a whole thread dedicated to edibles... nice.

 

[ihatepipes]

Ollo everybody.

I am wanting to make some brownies because I want some edibles and can't stand the taste of the plant matter in firecrackers. Last time I made them I threw up everywhere (partly psychosomatic) and threw out a good gram of weed on the firecracker that I couldn't eat. So I am hoping that using cannabutter in baking will disguise the taste.

Unfortunately times, they are a little bit hard and all I have available is 2g of really, really potent shit. My question is: would using this in brownies be a waste since the dose is so low? I am a pretty big guy and from experience need a fair dose of the ganj to get high. Usually I put about a gram of medium grade stuff into my firecrackers. So the way I figure it and equivalent dose would be half the pan of brownies! But then again the stuff I have is far stronger than what I usually use so maybe a quarter of the pan of brownies? Which works out to be about 4 of them.

Anyway, I want a good, long session of being baked, not just a little buzz. I realise that it is incredibly difficult to judge dosing over the internet but if anyone has heard of sub 7g doses in a batch of edibles or has tried it could you let me know please?

Check out the hot chocolate recipe I just posted in my question a couple posts ^. Probably your best bet IMO based on the amount of pot you have to work with.
Edit* Just saw a firecracker recipe on the first page too.

No worries thanks for the response :D I'll wait for chainer then, but I am thinking that making it in a large batch, instead of 1/8ths at a time, was what made the potency less than what I imagined it would be.

 

[Folley]

Freehugs, I had some tincs a few times, once with glycerin and another time with Everclear. You only really need to hold them in your mouth for like 30 seconds to a minute, it should still work if you swallow it...

The glycerin seemed weaker, but that could have just been how it was made. You needed to take like a half a bottle of that stuff to get a buzz, but it was only 20 and was supposed to be put on cereal and shit like toast

the alcohol stuff was a lot better, you only needed like a dropper full to get blazed off your ass. It burns a bit though when you drop it, probably the blood vessels dilating or whatever, that should make it absorb better too...

thats just my experience though

 

[freehugs]

Yeah I made one with 151 and I hold it in my mouth for a couple of minutes, I'm just thinking that making it in bulk wasn't as good as making it in small batches. Thanks though

 

[Folley]

I just hold it about as long as I would if I dropped some liquid acid, with Bacardi I bet that would taste kinda nasty though lol...

If your really want to see if its the right potency, and your not just swallowing too early (like my ex...) you could try diluting the dose in water, and plugging that. It should be the same absorption as sublingual, and its pretty much guaranteed to stay there till it absorbs

 

[Hoes call me santa]

It really is! :D Once you start you just don't want to stop. My advice is to split a whole bar with a friend 50/50 so you each eat it at the same speed.

I actually thought Peanut Butter Crunch was pretty good! Why don't you move out to California?

I'd love to but I really want my degree to become an accountant and then start my own business (maybe then I would move to cali to start a cannabis related business) and do the accountancy myself, and have a plan b in case my business fails. Since university is 5000$ maximum with books included a semester, I want to stay here... I think college in united states is pretty expensive. And the law seems worst too, about things like making BHO or having your own garden. I mean, who really wants to grow just 6 mature plants hehe %)

Plus i'm not even going to be able to visit some dispensaries as i'm only 19

It's definitely a place I wish to visit though! Seems like a lovely place to live, especially after it snowed 20 cm here last night!

Found an edible question at the same time so I wouldn't be such off topic :

How would you describe or compare the visuals you get from a good edible?

Do you compare it to shrooms where things around you will move in a pattern, or like LSD which I haven't tried?

I've only had one potent experience with edibles where my body was pretty "slowed" and laughter was there, but I couldn't remember if I had visuals.

Would you agree that they are better to be used for reliving physical pain?

Noooo not at all to the extent that lsd/mushrooms will give you. I get color enhancement, some minor movement, like with bricks or carpet, and closed eye visuals.

Just made my first firecracker (followed the directions of the OP exactly, so it should work!) with .6 of high grade weed.

Not wanting to leave my house with that cooked weed odor from the pre-bake, I thought of a great idea! I am going to cook some of this real galicy frozen toast shit in the oven to try and cover up the smell. This toast makes the place stiiiiiink whenever I cook it. All you can smell is that garlic for hours

I've seen so many posts in numerous threads of people considering skipping the decarboxylation step. From what I've read about the decarboxylation process, I beleive skipping this step to be a waste of taking the time out to make your weed edible in the first place.

I wouldn't skip it since its a pretty damn important step, seeing as how thc is HEAT activated.

A fresh pot of coffee seemed to neutralize the smell, still gonna make that toast though I got the munchies.

High on Cannabis Chocolate

I just recently started smoking weed and found it quite harsh on the lungs so decided to try ways of cooking with it instead. After a bit of trial and error, I discovered a simple routine for making Cannabis Chocolate that works so I thought I'd share.. my method uses using Ghee (clarified butter) and plain/dark chocolate 60% coca.

Let me just say, if you can't get hold of Ghee, you could try using ordinary butter or vegetable oil instead which should also work.

Ingredients:

1g of high quality bud
10g of Ghee
81g / 16 squares of dark chocolate

Equipment:

Frying pan
Flat bowl
Coffee filter (mesh one, from a machine, not the paper kind)

Preparation

Start by breaking the weed into tiny pieces (do not powderise it, just crumble it with your fingers) in a dry clean frying pan. Heat the pan up gradually until it gets very hot and the weed starts to smoke a little.. then take the heat right down low.. don't skip this step..it took me a while (and a lot of wasted weed) to realise this step is important as it does something to do the weed and activates the good stuff. Don't let it smoke too long or you'll ruin it..literally just a 10 seconds or so at the highest heat, then take it right down.

Next add the Ghee and make sure all the weed is covered... leave it for 2 hrs on the low heat...(yes, full two hours) the Ghee will not smoke or bubble.. that's fine..you're just looking to keep it hot at a constant temperature.. keep checking on it and make sure the weed stays in the Ghee so all the good stuff leeches out.

When the 2 hours is almost up, break up the chocolate into squares and place it into the bowl. Place the bowl either into another pan or another larger bowl and add some boiling water from the kettle....careful not to add too much. You need enough to warm the base of the bowl containing chocolate.

Let the chocolate melt..it should melt without any additional heat, but if it doesn't..put the pan on a very low heat and stir.

After two hours the Ghee is ready you will know because the colour will change to a greenish shade from the original yellow colour. Take off the heat and immediately pour through the coffee filter and into the chocolate. Don't delay doing this as Ghee begins to set quickly at room temperature if you leave it.

Once it's all in the chocolate, give it a thorough stir to make sure it's evenly blended. It's now ready to be poured out and set.

I find the best way to set the chocolate is to use the tinfoil from the bar (which you obviously didn't tear and kept intact!) and roll it out flat...turn up the sides to make a little tray.. if you have any holes in the foil, don't worry just pinch the foil to cover them and place the foil on the outer chocolate wrapper. Pour the chocolate evenly over. Don't spread it too thin else you will have problems using it, about 5mm thickness is right.

Leave it to set in the fridge for a few hours. When it's set, you can transfer the sheet of chocolate off the foil (carefully) into a plastic zip bag for storage in fridge.

The texture of the chocolate will be softer than normal chocolate because of the ghee..and it's melting point lowered so it melts very quick in mouth. The taste is good, you won't even notice the weed or ghee, the chocolate just tastes slightly smoother.

Getting the dosage right can be tricky so I recommend using a precise digital scale if you have one..start low and work up... remember it takes about 40 to 60 minutes for the cannabis to work when eating it. I found that 7g of choc is enough for a potent high which lasts about the same as smoking it and the onset is pretty much the same.

[pics to follow]

NOTE: You could use the WHOLE bar of chocolate (100g) instead of 16 squares - but I had already ate some of mine the first time I tried, and I have continued making it this way ever since..well it's nice to eat some of the chocolate before you start lol
