Is there an easy way to eat weed to make it as cost effective/effective as vaping?

I have tried successfully to vape a few times and enjoyed it as i would never smoke anything again and vaping seemed good however eating is the holy grail of health is it not? Even tho vpaing is healthIER than smoking still theres a foreign substance in your lungs right? something that wasnt meant to be there which could cause irritation whereas the stomach was made for this kind of work- is that a rational assumption?

Also those stupid lightbulb vapes i would keep dropping and smashing at the drop of a hat (/bulb) and it is a real pain to spend 30 mins+ at the risk of breaking another one before you can get high when you require a quick hit. (i recall a nightmarish scenario where i was having a panic attack from mdpv -never again btw- and dropped my vape and started making another and cut my hand, really made matters worse at the time when i was gasping for some relief)

Ive planned ahead tho and made two so Id have a backup ready to go in that eventuality but wondering if there's an EASY way to make weed edible which would not waste too much product/work out the same as vaping- is vaping gonna be the most economical?

I rarely buy weed so i dont wanna waste it. i have no tolerance tho so bear in mind id get high really easy.

I dont wanna be making all these cakes and shit, is there an easy way to make it edible? Just dump it in some high fat cream/olive oil or something/and/or with something hot to 'decarboxillate' or whatever?

I know that they say you have to use more to eat but if its a stronger high and it lasts longer then doesnt that means you could actually use LESS making it work out about the same?

Advice?
 
See if you can get a large amount of shake. You can make a shit ton of edibles off of a lb of quality shake.

oh and look up firecrackers. they sound like what you are looking for.
 
have you ever had any edibles before? because the high one gets from edibles is totally diff than what you get from smoking or vaping. Especially from vaping. It will always vary from person to person and I can say personally that edibles have never reallyyyyy impressed me. I find the help enhance my regular high from smoking...helps keeps me baked longer.

I suggest you try making some edibles first and see how they treat you then you decide.

As the above person said you should check out making firecrackers. You make them by mixing your weed(make sure you break nugs up or destem and deseed it if your using regs) in with ALL NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER! its must be natural because the natural PB has a much higher fat content. Once you mix the weed in good you spread the PB on either bread or crackers and then top with another cracker or piece of bread so you have little PB sandwiches. set your oven to like 300(not too high!) and wrap your sandwiches in tin foil and cook in the oven for like 15 minutes or so. and viola! Firecrackers.
 
^Good ideas from freehugs. I remember back in highschool I used to eat firecrackers before the school day lol, had me so messed up!
Just get Ritz crackers, peanut butter, and some weed (maybe .2-.5gs) and grind it up. Spread pb on both crackers and then put weed in between. Put in tin foil and put it in the toaster oven for 5-10 minutes and they have you pretty nice.
I dont know that you could compare vaping efficiency to edibles, because generally if you are not making firecrackers you cannot just make 1 or 2 edibles, u usually would have to make a batch.

Like freehugs said, if you could find a good amount of shake you would be golden.
If you make a 1 time investment of an oz or two of quality shake, you can make enough edibles to last for a while especially if you dont have a tolerance.
 
Yea as others have suggested if you acess to shake/trim then you could make a ton of edibles/potbutter. As far as cost beniffets vs vaping I would think maybe not? cause I know while eating marijuana you need to eat more dosages of it to feel the effects if you were to say smoking a bowl and getting high. (I've never just munched on just edibles to get high but that would be awesome to see the cost effectivness vs smoking vs vaping...lol) But yea tell us how it goes.
 
I would recommend using a vaporizer and saving your leftover vaped weed for making edibles. The heat from the vape will have already thoroughly decarbed the weed, especially if your re-vape it(if you mainly just vape at lower temps). The highs are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Edibles with vaped weed can be extremely sedating.

My favorite way to make edibles is just to mix my vaped weed with olive oil and heat it at 325 F for 25-30minutes and then remove the solids with a strainer and coffee filter. I just keep it in a bottle and dose by the capful.

Using this method, a 1/2 oz of dank lasted me 3 months of daily usage. Of course, I wasn't getting totally stoned all the time but that is still very efficient.

As far as health goes, there shouldn't be any harmful effects on your lungs from vaporizing.

If you are looking for good recipes, http://forum.grasscity.com/incredible-edible-herb/ has a lot more info than you will find here on Bluelight.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. My main concerns really with vaped is it might be less healthy but i prefer it otherwise in terms of effects.

I only really like weed on comedowns from stims so i guess it isnt too much of an issue.

Which is only a cpl times a year anyhow so i spose i shoudlnt worry too much about the health thing. I just gotta watch not to burn the weed which i did a cpl times which was a real downer. Since I use it so little buyign an expensive vape is out of the question so its lightbulbs all the way as I see it.

Vaping weed would be more healthy because you are not inhaling combusted plant material.
 
I know some people who cape their bud at a lower temp and then bake with it after, best of both worlds!

Or try googling 'firecrackers' and there's plenty of recipes using peanut butter or nutella
 
An easy way to eat weed that's equally or moreso cost effective as vaping? Sure! There's more than one, even! And I'm pretty confident that it's even easier to use Google to find them than it is to follow the recipes themselves!
 
Baking will never be as efficient as smoking. It always requires 3-10x as much weed to get you high. Also as stated above it is not the same high,

Don't waste your weed by putting it in your tummy
 
Cooking weed will almost always leave some odor, even with vaped weed. Sealing the food in aluminum foil will certainly help though. I have founds that cooking weed with peanut butter tends to leave less of a smell than with oil. This may just be due to the strain I used though.

I disagree with the emboldened sentence, but the OG triple, triple OG over here hit the nail on the head.

Yes. But it's not as effective.

I feel it leaves a very ambiguous smell in the oven. Once you've made firecrackers and know their smell it's easy to recognize, but I don't think people who've never smelled it's strangely unique aroma will recognize it for what it is.
 
From personal experience just putting it in the oven will do jack shit. Fry it up on low (about a 2 or a 3 maybe higher depending on your oven you want it slightly brown but you don't want it too hot) for about 15-30 minutes in some real butter or coconut oil (about a tbl spoon or two depending on how much pot) first then follow the oven directions.

If you don't have access to the oven and are worried about smell or whatever I don't know what to tell you. Be prepared to waste lots of weed in the microwave for little results unless your tolerance is nothing.

That's what everyone keeps saying. Maybe I'm retarded but making a fast version of cannabutter is the only thing that has ever worked for me.

I don't think it's because you're retarded, lol. I feel like it was something slight, like using the wrong peanut butter or not chopping your weed up fine enough or cooking with too high of a temperature or something. Honestly, though, if you're cool with making a quick butter instead of a firecracker when you want an edible then I think you're making a better choice. Firecrackers really are at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to edibles. Simply put, they're low quality. They get the job done, but just barely unless you obviously overdo it with four or five 1g firecrackers on an empty stomach or something.
