Alright so I am going on spring break in a little while and the car ride is looooong (11-13 hours). Someone told us that cops on the drive are going to be "extra" on the lookout for kids going to spring break, and pulling kids over for going like 3 miles over the speed limit. While I personally think that's bullshit, some of my friends are a little spooked by the notion of our car getting searched by a cop. We are still bringing a lot of nug, but kids are paranoid about actually smoking in the car. The solution: brownies.

I have read a million recipes on how to make brownies. All are very different and complex. Some say you need to make cannabutter, while others say just throwing the weed into the brownie mix will do fine.

I am also wondering how much weed to use. What would the yield be for an ounce of shitty weed be (literally the shittiest weed I have ever seen)? How many people could get high off brownies using such low quality weed? What about if I used an ounce of regular mids, how many people could get high off those brownies?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Do NOT just throw the bud into brownie mix! Make it into cannabutter or cannaoil.

An ounce minimum in the butter/oil for decent brownies and of course the better the weed the better the brownies.

You'll never know how high or how many people it will feed until you make it. Go make a batch and cut out a measured square, eat it on an empty stomach and see how it goes.
 
Agreed. Just make the cannabutter in the amount necessary for the recipe of brownies. Be sure to take your time with the butter cause too much heat is bad. Make sure the butter is cool before stirring it in or you'll cook the eggs and I don't think you want scrambled egg in your brownies.

It sounds like you're new to edibles. Keep in mind edibles are a lot stronger than smoking alone so please be safe about driving. Do not underestimate their strength.

You should also know that you can still smell the mj in the brownies. Don't think that cops wont know what they are.

Be safe and have fun
 
Yea, now it's looking like it'll be probably a half oz (maybe a little more) of decent bud and a half oz of the mexican dirt to serve probably 15 or so decent sized brownies.

I've had fire crackers on numerous occasions and brownies just a handful, so I'm excited to see how these turn out. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks.
 
Pick up an OZ of the shittiest mids you can -- something a inbetween good mids and shitty shwag.

Cook it up in oil -- I find this -much- easier than cannabutter and you can do the whole process in under 30 minutes. Assuming you mix up 12 brownies, that's a bit over 2g in each brownie, which, if cooked correctly, is more than enough for anyone to get unbelievably high. So, you can get 12 people ripped out there minds, regardless of tolerance. Try not to smoke 12 hours prior to ingesting to feel the full effects.


Make sure you use the fattiest oil possible.

Easy directions:
1) Grind up yo mids. Take out those seeds, leave the stems, grind those fuckers too.
2) Measure out amount of oil brownie mix calls for (let's just randomly say 1/2 cup).
3) Get small suacer or pan, turn heat on low-medium.
4) Pour oil into pan
5) Pour all weed into pan
*Monitor for 20-30 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary. If you see steam YOU ARE LOSING THC. You do not want your solution to steam.
6) After 25-30 minutes have passed, you will be left with a foul (if using mids) smelling, greenish oil concuction. The weed will look brown and vaped.
7) Strain weed/stems using a coffee filter or cheese cloth. This will take a few minutes. You should be left with 1/2 cup of oil (assuming this is what you use to begin with). It will smell horrible and be dark green if done correctly.

8) Make them brownies, step by step, following the directions. Instead of using normal oil, simply use the oil you've just created.


EDIT: Echoing statements above - you will probably not be able to drive. You'll probably realize this when you become glued to your couch and start thinking maybe your shitty weed had shrooms in it.

I'm a huge advocate of using oil over butter when making brownies specifically. It is much easier and much harder to fuck up. However, if you make butter, you can throw it in your fridge and spread it on some toast any time.

You'll never want to go back. Remember -- low temp to avoid evaporation of THC. You will visibly be able to see this happening if it does. If you do see it, you are losing loads of THC, very quickly.

As a side note, a lot of people say potency does not degrade over time. I've made and consumed a lot of brownies in my day, and I can say there is nothing like a fresh batch. After a few days, I noticed a decline in potency, though I'm sure many, many people will argue with me. Try to avoid changing the temperature (aka storage location) of the brownies after they are made.
 
Just to add to what chainer said. When I cook with oil I find it reaches a point right after it becomes really aromatic you can see the green leach into the oil and the bud begins to slightly brown. At this point is usually when i take the pan right off the burner, I usually put the whole pan right into the fridge to speed up the cooling process. The cooling is very important. Like I said you don't want scrambled eggs in your brownies.
 
^ Very true. I always use the cave-man method of straining (coffee filter supported by two spoons over a oil measuring cup) which takes a good 20-30 minutes.

If you're more intelligent than I, you certainly want to cool the oil prior to mixing.

Dude, if you were smoking, how many times would you get high off an ounce of weed? If you had an ounce of weed, or even a half ounce of weed, would you just get high fifteen times?

Because you're proposing you make fifteen brownies for an ounce of weed. In my view, you should be making about double that. If you make 15 brownies with an ounce of weed you're going to have about 2 grams of weed in each brownie. Would you smoke 2 grams of weed to yourself all at one go? If I did that I would be incredibly fucken stoned. If you make 15 brownies out of an ounce of weed each brownie will be stronger than smoking 2 grams of weed in one go, and it will last for like six hours. You want to be careful with that.
 
Satricion, just because you live in a certain part of the world doesn't mean it's the same everywhere.

The OP clearly mentioned mids. I clearly mentioned mids. I would not bake using high grade. I promise you I can get better bud then you, I wouldn't bake with it, I would smoke it.... however the bud you linked looks a lot like decent KB I can get on the cheap... Hell, I could find really nice east coast mids for nearly nothing.

Making an O of mids into a batch of brownies will provide a much stronger, cleaner high, and can last a very, very, very long time if you want it to. Eating a quarter of one brownie can get me stoned to the equivalent to one dome blunt of mids (~2 grams). Not to mention one brownie will get you lit and keep you there for HOURS.

I could easily smoke an ounce of mids in a week, and it would provide a sub-par high. I would take edibles made by mids anyday. The point is increased potency of low grade bud. It's like turning mids or dirt into better-than-grade-A weed... Isn't that usually the reason people make edibles?

I don't really know. I live in Australia and we don't have "schwag" or "mids" or whatever. We just buy weed. It's usually pretty good and it's always the same price.

This pot or not is about what I usually buy:

Half a gram of that would get me stoned.

haha no man the weed I'm talking about cooking doesn't look anything like that. It's legitimately a dark, dark brown, hence the affectionate name "Mexican Dirt".

The bud I'm thinking about mixing into it is pretty decent regs, so yeah I will probably be dividing the brownies into about 30 and telling my friends to each start with 1.

And storage over time isn't really a concern of mine because I'm fairly certain that they will all be consumed within a day or 2.

After reading everything you guys have said I will definitely be using oil instead of butter.

Alright bro, put your dick away, I see that it's massive.
 
It isn't my fault you don't know what you are smoking (admittedly), yet you jumped to the conclusion that everyone gets the same bud you do or that there is only "weed". We clearly were talking about mids several times and you posted some shit that was irrelevent to the topic -- most cannabis cooks know not to waste an ounce of primo shit in a simple oil prep, and that was explicitly stated several times. Hell, he said mexi dirt, and I specifically said something in between schwag and decent mids. Regional differences be damned, just because we are overseas from you doesn't mean you don't need to know common terminology on BL.

The simple fact is you live in AUS and the majority of the bud there is simply not as well grown as bud in the US and pricing is dramatically different. Nothing to do with dicksizing, though I see how you could take it as such. I apologize if it appeared that way, but I think you'd be hard pressed to argue the point.

But hey, prove me wrong, grow some hydro in your place and posts some pics and make me look like an asshole :)

OP: I'd highly suggest aiming for consumption of about 2g if you are a seasoned smoker. A gram will feel great, but 2 will really bring out the psycoactive properties of miss mary J. A word of warning though -- I've seen several over-confident people eat up 3g+ and end up straight tripping, vomitting, and passing out. Eat them on a some-what empty stomach and wait 1 hour minimum for effects. Don't make the mistake of eating 2 in 30 minutes and thinking they don't work ;) In that respect, Satricion made a very good point -- but I think that's part of the experience!

you DO NOT need to consent to a search of your vehicle.
the cop can only get a warrant to search if he had probable cause.
and if he has probable cause - WHY IS HE ASKING PERMISSION? :D

I dont think Satricion is too educated about Australian weed.

Its not all the same, but you will find almost all commercial weed, which is mids over here( the yanks, and like use them other names) and is what supplys are very large scale of smokers, from all states.

This stuff is shit, but you get used to it. And it is very sedating.Great for sleep which I love, because i cant slepp unless ive numbed the fuck out:D

The really good shit, clean as can be is usually growing with the growers who dont sell, there for not using any of these dodgy fuckin chemmys that goes into commercial weed, and the weed overall is cared for alot more.

Haha fuck yea. 2 of my friends got stopped on a road trip and were super blazed. The kid who owned the car was sitting in the passenger side and the cop was super suspicious about that so my buddy goes "I just had my first chewing tobacco and feel nauseous". The cop let them go immediately.
