Why I doubt eating is as effective as smoked cannabis

Because it doesn't hit you at once. It leaves the stomach in bits and the bits get absorbed one by one. We lose a lot more weed than we get.
 
thc is fat soluble, if you heat the weed in butter you extract much more thc from the weed the you get when you smoke it, smoking it destroys much of the thc.

if you make strong cannabutter you can have full on trip effects. I have had this happen more then once, and anyone who says that cant happen is full of shit and has never ate strong cannabutter.

it is possible to get much larger amounts of thc into your system by eating it then possible by smoking it. it just takes a few hours to start hitting you.

My friend told me that eating merely gives you a mild body high while smoking gives you both an intense head high AND body high. Can anyone clarify this?
 
small amounts give a body buzz, large amounts are a full blown hallucinogen+super intense body load

your friend is incorrect.

make some strong cannabutter and see.

Do I throw the weed and the butter in the frying pan and let it simmer? How long and how much of each should I use? Any specific ratios?
 
I mix a stick of butter (REAL BUTTER ONLY) to an 8th of herb. Start out with this small amount for experimental reasons, you can use more butter/herb as you fine tune to your tastes. grind the herb, stems and all, to a powder(coffee grinder works well), bring the butter to a low simmer (be careful not to burn off the butter, a double boiler works well) add the powdered herb to the butter and let sit for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally. strain through cheesecloth to remove the plant matter (or not) then place the butter in the fridge to set up. the finished product will have a yellow-green color and smell strongly of herb.

I like making garlic bread with it, and remember to start with a small amount and work your way up.

you want to do a low simmer with the weed + butter and some water

use a small sauce pan, once the butter melts in the water get a low boil going then add the weed and get a LOW simmer going.

I have tried cooking it for different times and find the longer you cook it the stronger it is. many people will argue with this but this is what I found.

I would say simmer it for at least 2-3 hours its very difficult to cut marijuana into small enough pieces that it would extract all the thc quick, you need the extra time because of this.

i usually make large amounts, pounds or half pounds of trimmings and small buds, for a pound of weed I use 2 pounds of butter.

if you are using smaller amounts of weed like a quarter OZ try using about 1/10th of a stick of butter in a small pot with about a half cup of water.

stir as often as possible and make sure the water doesn't all evaporate so add a little more if it gets to thick

after the cooking is done, you need to cut a plastic bottle in half and strain your cannabutter water mix through some cheese cloth into the bottle

put the bottle in your fridge for a few hours and the butter will all float to the top and solidify and the water stays in the bottom.

simply pop the butter puck out of the container and wash the slime off the bottom.

now you have some canna-butter, I like to cook it into something like cookies or brownies

do you proceed to eat the entire finished butter product to get any effects and how would you compare this recipe to smoking cannabis?

Just one more question for you Kanucme. How much of the cannabutter do you recommend I eat in order to get high and what's the high like compared to smoked cannabis?
 
well since the THC is now in the butter, how high you get and how fast depends on your metabolism and physicality. this effects how fast your body breaks down fats

if you took all the butter and made 6 cookies I would say eat 2 then wait 2-3 hours and see where that gets you, eat more as needed just remember not to eat too many too fast because you can get really hammered and quite fucking out of it.

the high on the low end is a real nice body high, feels sluggish and calm

mid level you are fucking high, you kinda space out allot and are pretty useless

high amounts you start to trip, its not like mushrooms or acid so much, its hard to explain, really bright colors, shimmering, morphing. you hear tones and rumbles and feel like you are flying through matter. time speeds up and slows down. if I get this high its like snap shots of whats going on but you still see all the previous snapshots as new ones form. insanely vivid closed eye visuals its like your eyes are still open. you are now lost in space, don't try to contact mission control for you are out of range.

I like the sound of that. Is this high similar to smoking in that it goes to the brain or is it more of a body high that has different effects compared to smoked cannabis? How would you compare eating to smoking cannabis, the similarities and differences?
 
its similar to being high from smoking it just allot stronger

its not like its a different drug, you get allot more thc at once when it starts to break down, then it continues to breakdown in your gut for the next few hours


it also lasts like 2 or more days if you eat enough, so don't have to go to work the next day
 
Well this is just wrong. Also it's an opinion piece... I'll leave it open for now to see if this can garnish any actual conversation.
 
I like cooking my weed with peanutbutter and bread; add some choclate and honey and you got your self something tastey. Just a gram of some mid grade weed is enough to get you really baked. Just wrap in tin foil and cook for 20 mins at 350. Its a pretty easy and quick way to make an edible. It's a little differnt type of high; it may ttake while to hit you but lasts all day.

if you're used to smoking an entire 8th to the dome at once then yeah, eat it all!
 
Idk why but it is impossible for me to get high on edibles and that is a fact..... if you can't accept it please go die lol.
 
i love eating weed while smokeing it my favorite ever was a batch of brownies that had and once of high grade in them vegetable matter left in i feel it adds to the taste i ate 2 out of 8 brownies and smoke a gram of the same high grade afterward and i literaly though i was going to od on weed i know thats retarded you cant you would have to smoke your own body wait in cannabis to do such a thing but man was i fucking gone i highly recomend it
