Firecracker dosage

So I've been doing lots of research on firecrackers and I've come to the conclusion that these are the quickest and best way to do edibiles. One thing that is seriously mind-fucking me is how different doses are for people. One kid claimed to be baked after a .3g firecracker. Other people claim that a gram only got them mildly high. Many people are saying to use mid-quality bud. I need some experienced guidance here. For 2 people with virtually 0 tolerance, how much would be enough to get seriously stoned without freaking out? My plan is to use a small amount of firecrackers, but with each one containing a good amount of weed. It tastes worse, but hits harder. Lets say that I bought 2 grams of mids, split between 2 people. That's 1 gram each. Is this enough for good crackers? Overkill? Seriously need some guidance.

After doing more research, it seems that a 1g firecracker is enough to get a first timer fucking smacked, but I want to make sure. I have a few questions about the effects. Is it mildly hallucinogenic at all? Any testimonials from anyone who has had large amounts of firecrackers?

I keep getting paranoid thoughts that 2g's (1g each person) isn't going to be enough, despite having no tolerance whatso-fucking-ever.

If you guys really have no tolerance then 1 gram of mids each might be a bit much. This depends on the quality of the bud though, and how pot effects you. I've also always found firecrackers to be pretty inefficient in terms of extracting the cannibinoids from your bud, other edibles are far superior imo, although firecrackers are great if you're in a rush or can't smell up the kitchen too bad.

1 gram of mids per dose is pretty typical in a lot of pot food, but that's for people who have a tolerance. It might make you higher then you were aiming for, but I think the risk of freaking out is quite low. The worst that I see happening at that dose is you getting very sedated and maybe falling asleep. Pot food can indeed be somewhat hallucinogenic. If you're really worried about the dose being too high, you could eat .75 grams and save the other .5 grams to smoke if you aren't feeling the food strong enough.

If by 0 tolerance you mean you guys have never used pot, I recomend smoking your first time because it's easier to gauge your dose. Pot food is awesome though. Enjoy.
 
I would always take much less than you think you need to start off with, because taking too much cannabis orally can be a terrifying experience. You will regret it for sure, so be careful. If you don't get high the first time it doesn't matter since you can always slowly titrate your dose up the subsequent time you take it.

Also, make sure you wait at least 4 hours before you decide whether it's worked or not. It's crazy the number of people who decide their oral cannabis hasn't worked and then eat some more, only to end up overdosing and regretting it later on (been there, done that, got the t-shirt).

Not zero as in never used weed, just zero as in haven't in a very long time. Thanks a lot of the input though. I definitely don't want to fall asleep, nor have a freak-out. I'll prob make 4 crackers with .5 each and gauge from there, though I've heard it hits much harder if there is more weed in the cracker itself. I have another question: Does quality even really matter when using firecrackers? People on other forums have even went as far as to say that mids is too good for firecrackers. Would there really be a difference between an ingested 1g of high quality vs. mids?

I keep thinking that I won't have a freak out because I'll try and convince myself that it's just the weed. Things like this are easy to say now, but once it actually happens, all of that goes down the toilet. Still though, I don't want too high of a dose. I need enough to be smacked. Not enough to the point where I get knocked out and can't enjoy it. Thanks a lot for the insight.

I know how to make them. 2 crackers sandwiched between, PB/Nutella with the weed mixed in and buried evenly with a small dab of oil. 320 for 22-23 minutes wrapped tightly in foil. (Correct me if anything is wrong.)

Most of the search results bring up info on the actual recipe and the effects, but nothing about dosages. Do you think body size and weight actually has anything to do with this? There needs to be a firecracker sticky...

When it comes to edibles, yes, body size/weight has an impact on dosing.

Good to know. So back to the original dilemma. Will 1g of mids in a single firecracker enough to get a zero tolerance person smacked? The plan is to be severely stoned, but not to the point of being knocked out. I don't want to use such a high amount and only feel a mild buzz. Would making 4 crackers and putting .5 in each (2 per person) make the high stronger?
 
1g firecrackers work for me, but that's not saying they'll necessarily work for you the way you want them too.

I'm sure it would be a good dose for a person with zero tolerance, but there's a possibility that it isn't. It depends on your personal physiology, but the average person would, in my opinion, get pretty high after ingesting a 1g firecracker that was cooked properly.

I get what you're saying. Tolerance and body size definitely have a lot to do with this. I guess it's just a matter of advice on if a 1g firecracker isn't too heavy for someone who has never used them. I could always make .5's as mentioned earlier, but I'm afraid that all it will be is a slight buzz and that if I take another one 4 hours later, it'll just be the same slight buzz only longer lasting. I want the crackers to hit hard and all at once, but not hard enough to knock someone out or cause a freak-out. The key to these firecrackers is to be VERY stoned, but not ready to pass out.

Hmmmm....

Let's look at it this way: Most people claim that a proper oral dose of cannabis is roughly double whatever they'd have to smoke to get the same desired effect.


How much would you have to smoke to be at your preferred high? To be honest, when I'm at zero tolerance after a 2-3 month break, it only takes maybe .4g of midgrade bud to get me to a nice, comfortable place. If the same holds true for you, then go with just under 1 gram of midgrade per cracker.

If it would take less or more for you to smoke and get where you want... well, adjust accordingly for your firecracker recipe. Just double whatever you would smoke.



Keep in mind, though, if you would normally smoke a 1g joint/blunt between, say, 2 people, then your smoking dose would be 0.5g each. I'm pretty sure you know that already but I figure I might as well throw it out there to avoid any potential "over"doses. :)
 
I would recommend taking 0.3-0.5g max the first time. Just don't get too excited and be tempted to overshoot. You will regret it and trust me, it is impossible to rationalise your way out of a full blown panic attack. However, you might only truly see what I mean when it actually happens to you, which I hope it doesn't since I wouldn't wish it on even my worst enemy.

Understood. How much of an effect do you think that the quality of the weed has on firecrackers? Is it worth paying for higher quality? Does it really make a difference when using edibles?

I guess I can't really argue with that. I just want complete assurance that I'll be plastered to the wall. There is a person on here that claimed to be high after a .2 firecracker, but I have no idea about their tolerance or the quality of the weed itself. Better to be safe than sorry, that's for sure.

The quality of the weed has a huge effect on the dosage, but really you can't go wrong (well... you can, but i mean you will get high... whether or not it's too, though....) if you double the amount you would smoke to find the right edible dosage.


After sleeping on it, I'm almost positive you'll be really high after consuming a 1g firecracker. Just make sure to find a tried and true recipe and all'll work out just fine, dude.



If you don't mind me asking, what's preventing you from going the trial-and-error route? If money's an issue, I completely understand... I don't like to waste bud/money when I'm low on funds either (which is pretty much always :\).

Sounds good. Also, as far as trial and error, to be honest, I'm not even completely sure. Lack of adequate time for the high is the biggest factor. I guess the only way to find out is to actually try it first, but I guess I'm even afraid of what effects the edible will have when I'm alone. Just seems a lot better to ride it out with another person. After thinking about it for quite some time, I think doing .5 would be the best idea.
 
Go for it, dude. At .5g the worst-case-scenario would be you won't feel it and would have to up the amount of weed for next time.


I assure you, though, when you find the proper dose for yourself then edibles will be fucking great.

If I make them exactly to the letter, I seriously doubt I won't feel anything. It's easier said than done though. I've found a few good threads on how to make firecrackers, so it's not like it's unknown info such as the dosage. There are a lot of specific directions, but I think I should be alright. Money isn't much of an issue, but of course, it's always better saved. ;)

Thanks for the advice. %)
 
think i'll just ask this in here instead of making a whole seperate form for a simple question.

How much mid grade pot would I need to make a batch of brownies? Just like a store bought box of them, not a whole shit load.

Does it stink up your house when your making these?

If you prepare the firecracker properly it won't stink at all.


Before you put the firecrackers in the oven to bake just make sure that you can't see any bud on the edges of the peanut butter and you should be fine.
