Hi... A few questions here, and a really long story...
I've smoked bud a couple of times, usually just a joint. I got a little buzzed, but nothing mind blowing. I had a dried out baggie of weed that I'd had around forever.... Literally, 2 months or more. It only had enough for one more joint, but with the results I had from smoking, I didn't even want to bother. Instead, I threw it in a pot with some butter. It was a pretty small amount, and I put it in with half a stick of butter. I heard you have to cook it for 10-12 hours, but I figured that was for Hugggeeee batches. I cooked it at a simmer for about 30-45 minutes, and then ran the butter through a slotted spoon type thing. I was going to make brownies, but I heard my roommate was coming home, so I hurriedly dunked a piece of bread in the butter, then just drank the rest. It was, without a doubt, the nastiest thing I've ever tasted, as there were some chunks still in it. I figured I'd wasted it, and didn't even feel the mild buzz I'd gotten from smoking.... Until about an hour n a half later.
And WOW. I was sitting on the couch, next to my room mate, and I was freaking out. Normally I would've enjoyed it and just went with the flow, but I was afraid she'd notice I was acting funny. My heart was pounding n I was sweating. I was seeing weird- instead of seeing everything smoothly, I was seeing in camera frames, or quick snapshots, at X frames per second. I was afraid to get up. When I finally made it to my room, I laid down and I felt like each part of my body was on a different plane or level, and I was all disjointed. It was actually cool. I could just think something, and I could feel it. This would've been AWESOME during sex... Except all I wanted to do was lie there... I closed ,y eyes and saw patterns. Then I fell asleep...
The next day I had to wake up early, and I felt like crap. I just wanted to lay down. I finally laid down on the bathroom floor, because the tile was cold and I felt really feverish. I managed to get ready, but I was worried because I had to take a test. I would stare at the page for a few minutes, scribbble something, then fall asleep, scribble some more, wake up, etc. I somehow finished the test, and actually did okay (to my surprise) all day I would stare into space and nod off for awhile.

Okay, now for the questions
Why did cooking that amount of bud get me 100000 times higher than smoking the Same amount?
Did I cook it long enough?
what is the best way to cook a small (dime bag or less) batch?
How long does a batch of bud brownies/ baked goods keep? Yes, the brownies may taste like crap after a week, but will they still give you a buzz?
I was thinking of making a batch or regular brownies, and then pouring some batter into cupcake molds, and stirring a little bud butter into the cupcakes, any input will help.
-also, I have a vent fan over my stove, and I left it on full blast while I was cooking the butter. There was no smell afterwards. Would baking the bud butter into brownies create a smell?
