Quickest way to add weed to food?

[Artificial Emotion]

I'll make sure it's insanely dry before I use it. Sticking to the recipe in your post word-for-word.

I just noticed you're in the UK, though.... What kind of chocolate bar should I use, do you think? Milk chocolate? Dark chocolate? ....Some other kind of chocolate I may've never heard of? (Yeah, I'm good at complicating shit.)

I used dark chocolate with 70% coco solids but I experimented with milk chocolate and it worked just as well. Basically it's whatever your taste is. Dark chocolate is healthy in small amounts but it isn't to everyones' taste, so I would get both and make two batches.

dont forget to decarb it

Decarboxylation does occur when the weed is heated and dissolved into the chocolate. The recipe works fine as is so I wouldn't advise changing it.

No offense intended but I would use the KISS approach 'cause it works here.

This recipe came from THC4MS

The recipe works fine as is so I wouldn't advise changing it.

Wasn't this recipe originally intended for patients who are not interesting in getting high? How old is this recipe lol?

The group calls itself Therapeutic Help from Cannabis for Multiple Sclerosis (Thc4MS), and is nothing if not consumer-oriented. Inquirers, who must provide a doctor's note to confirm their illness, may choose milk, dark, vegan or diabetic chocolate, and are recommended to take one piece three times a day to alleviate symptoms without causing a cannabis "high". Potheads these people are not.

If there was a recipe that worked 100% for everyone, we would be using it.

A more modern recipe will use another step (an extra 10-20 minutes) to decarb the weed prior to cooking with it. Use this step if you actually want to get high.

It really doesn't make a difference whether they wanted to get high or not because the intention is to deliver cannabinoids into their system. The cannabinoids dissolve in the lipids and it just so happens that at the dose used in the recipe it does not take very much to have an effect. For me 1/2-3/4 one cube is enough. I've tried it, as have many other people. This can be used for medical use or recreational use. All you have to do is alter the dose accordingly. Use less if you don't want to be high. It's not so weak you have to scoff a whole box of chocolates to get a buzz though.

How old is the recipe? I'm not sure that is really relevant as the recipe works just fine.

If there was a recipe that worked 100% for everyone, we would be using it.

I am offering a tried and tested recipe involving one ingredient other than the cannabis and people can take it or leave it. Unless their tolerance is huge it will get anyone high. Whether they 'like' it is down to their taste, but my intention was to show that all you need is one ingredient, chocolate, to make quick edibles since that was the point of the thread.

I'm a medical patient with peripheral neuropathic pain. I don't identify as a pothead and I like this recipe.

If you really want to decarboxylate your weed before hand and you think it makes a difference, by all means, go ahead and do so but bear in mind the heat of the chocolate works well enough to decarboxylate the cannabis already, and judging by how stoned it gets you it works well enough. It is not necessary though, especially if you're looking for a quick way to make a recipe. I have tried this recipe quite a few times and gotten too high off less than half a cube before. I'm not stopping you from doing it if you want.

All I am saying is this is a recipe that works and it works well in its simplicity. If you have your own criticisms and don't like it then this recipe is probably not for you. I never really suggested it would be for everyone!

I would add I have noticed a trend of people thinking they have to decarb their weed before using it in recipes like this for it to even work. That's just bollocks because you already are decarbing the weed in the chocolate already. If you want further decarb it prior to use, have at it.

I assume that most people would rather have THC delivered to their system, rather than THCA.

It's relevant because I can't find an OG source for it. It's like these people up and disappeared (jail maybe?) with not much explanation or follow up on their recipe.

The difference is that using your method you have little to no control over the actual variable temparature occuring inside the chocolate. You are merely guessing when you make your chocolates. Someone who takes the time (literally 10-20 minutes--I'd say that's "quick"), to do this step separately can have results which are consistent.

And that's the whole point to this thread. Quick recipes we've done ourselves that actually work. Thanks for taking to time to post that one, man, it's a new one to me. I never knew weed chocolate could be so easy.

For what it's worth, I get so fucking tired of hearing about decarboxylation it's not even funny. I won't be doing anything extra to the tree other than grinding it up into some fuckin' fairy dust, so yeah, I'll let y'all know how it turns out when I get around to it.



What's the smell situation like? I'm actually thinking it won't be noticeable really with this one. And, son of a bitch, what about doing this with homemade fudge? I've got mad amounts of that shit in the fridge RIGHT NOW, I just don't know how remelting and all that ish would go with it.... can't be much different than chocolate bars, though, right? Fuck, man, I'm gettin' all these ideas.... I need to go smoke a cigarette, jesus....

I assume that most people would rather have THC delivered to their system, rather than THCA.

Their intention was to consume THC, not THC acid when the recipe was made. If they didn't want to get high by taking a lower dose than a recreational one then they would simply eat fewer chocolate pieces.

It's relevant because I can't find an OG source for it. It's like these people up and disappeared (jail maybe?) with not much explanation or follow up on their recipe.

It's Jeff Ditchfield over from UK420 who's responsible for it afaik (here's the thread). He's not in jail, he's in Spain helping medical patients through Bud Buddies.

He made these two videos:

All the info you need is in the recipe though. I would add plenty of people find it useful and like it.

That's all very well in theory but in practice the results are consistent, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get to the same spot when eating the chocolates each time. Worst case one big batch would be slightly weaker meaning you would have say 2/3 one chocolate instead of 1/2 but I don't find that to be the case. Instead of being sceptical why don't you just try it for yourself?

I haven't made any in a while but I seem to remember the overwhelming smell was one of mouthwatering chocolate rather than weed so you should be fine if you've got people in the house.

I hadn't realized that was the OP the thread seems a little bare. Thanks for the source!

I've made plenty of edibles with chocolate. Thanks!

Sorry I don't mean to make assumptions such as that you hadn't made a pure chocolate infused recipe as above without the decarboxylating step but earlier seemed as if you were under the impression it wouldn't get you high based on what you said. A lot of people seem to be misinformed, thinking without this step edibles just won't work so when you said what you did above it seemed as if you obviously hadn't tried it because if you had you would have had a bit of a surprise lol.

Yeah sorry about that.

And I stand by my statement that if you don't decarb your weed, you will not get high. It's simple science really.

Exactly.

 

[Jibult]

Exactly.

Never purposefully decarbed my tree before and I get high like every day, man.

Same with edibles. Never decarbed and never failed, so uh.... I respectfully disagree. I mean, I don't have much experience with the edible game but yeah, I've never made a bunk one before and have never decarbed.


Either every single batch of tree I've ever bought my entire life has already converted it's THCA into THC, or the importance of decarboxylation is greatly exaggerated. (opinion! not a fact)


[Addition Edit:

Side-note: Working under the assumption that decarboxylation is completely legit, wouldn't the heat from simply "cooking the weed" decarboxylate the tree as your recipe is baking/cooking/boiling/whatever?]

 

[velmwend]

All you need is chocolate and ground weed!





This recipe came from THC4MS

Excellent!! Thank you!

Just because you didn't purposely decarb, doesn't mean that you did not decarb it.

Either every single batch of tree I've ever bought my entire life has already converted it's THCA into THC, or the importance of decarboxylation is greatly exaggerated. (opinion! not a fact)

You do realize that when you light it on fire and breathe in the smoke it is in fact decarbing the THCA into THC, don't you?

Side-note: Working under the assumption that decarboxylation is completely legit, wouldn't the heat from simply "cooking the weed" decarboxylate the tree as your recipe is baking/cooking/boiling/whatever?]

Yes, but as I stated at the top of this page, you are merely making a guess as to the actual temperatures unless you separate this step. And of course it's legit. You don't have to believe science though. That's your prerogative.

 

[Artificial Emotion]

And I stand by my statement that if you don't decarb your weed, you will not get high. It's simple science really.

My point is that if you follow the recipe to the letter, it will get you high if you eat enough (tolerance issues aside). Decarboxylation occurs when you dry your weed, when you cure your weed and when you heat the powdered weed in the melted chocolate. Hell, it even occurs when weed just ages.

If you follow the recipe I want to make it clear that decarboxylating does take place. It will get you high. I don't want people to be under the impression that this is not the case.

As for your statements, when you say 'use this step if you actually want to get high' and people read the above thread they get the impression that unless you purposefully decarb it prior to putting it into the melted chocolate it won't get you high. This of course isn't the case.

In practice using the recipe as is, the consistency of batches of the chocolate is uniform enough to allow consistent dosing for medical patients, which is why THC4MS supplied MS patients with it for so long (Jeff Ditchfield and Bud Buddies would have picked up on this as an issues a long time ago if this was the case).

 

[Artificial Emotion]

Excellent!! Thank you!

You're welcome mate. I am sure you will enjoy the recipe if you try it. It works and works well, so enjoy!

I would start with half a chocolate and move up from there until you find your sweet spot. As I said earlier, grind it well to avoid that gritty weed taste/texture and mix in so one chocolate isn't a lot stronger or weaker than another. Good luck!

 

[w01fg4ng]

Decarboxylation occurs when you dry your weed

I don't know about you, but I never completely dry out my weed to a dust. It loses it's flavor that way.

when you cure your weed

Studies have already shown that curing contributes to a VERY small percentage to actually decarbing. Most buds on the shelf have 1% or less actual THC.

and when you heat the powdered weed in the melted chocolate.

Again, you are only guessing the percentage because you have no control over the temperature when mixing it in chocoloate.

Hell, it even occurs when weed just ages.

What like a few months? I thought this thread was for "quick" recipes lol.

 

[Artificial Emotion]

I dry mine until snap dry and then cure. Grinding it up with an electric coffee grinder grinds it down to a fine consistency.

Studies have already shown that curing contributes to a VERY small percentage to actually decarbing. Most buds on the shelf have 1% or less actual THC.

Curing is only one link in the chain of events before it ends up in the chocolate. I never said merely curing bud would decarb it sufficiently to put in edibles cold. If you read my posts you'll see it's the heating that is the important.

Again, you are only guessing the percentage because you have no control over the temperature when mixing it in chocoloate.

See above.
