This experience is kind of blurry now, I'm writing as I remember it...
T+0:00: My friend DC calls and says has some pot brownies, so I go over to his house to try them out, since I'd never eaten them before. On arrival, I ate about 10-13 brownies, not knowing how strong they were. (You can eat 1-2 brownies and be stoned for quite awhile)
T+1:00: I started to feel the effects setting in, very different from the effects of smoking. I felt very heavy, and everything seemed to be discolored and slightly bent. I remembering feeling euphoric, but detached from my surroudings.
T+1:30: I was overcome by sleepiness and decided to lay down. I felt warm and comfortable in bed so I closed my eyes to sleep, and that's when the real trip started happening. The CEV's were interesting. They weren't too vivid but had more of a dream-like quality. I kept seeing strange colorful geometrical patterns flash before my eyes and a red and white vortex with laughing faces swirling down towards the middle. You know, the kind you see in cartoons that hypnotists use.
T+1:45: Time was going really slow. I seemed to sink through the bed and into the floor, then back out again. My mind didn't feel attached to my body any longer. Everytime I got to the brink of being asleep I felt like the floor dropped from beneath me and had the sensation I was falling off a cliff, which immediately jolted me awake. This happened for some time, and then I guess I finally fell asleep. Waking up the next morning, my brain felt very foggy and I think I was still stoned for a couple days after that.
My advice to those of you who want to eat pot brownies:
Don't eat over 5 at one sitting unless you want to end up like the brownies... BAKED!
 
Welcome to Bluelight :)
Thanks for posting about your experience!
I have only eaten pot once and I had one muffin and it lasted for about 8 hours.
I also thought time was going _really_ slow, but this does not seem to happen to me when I smoke it.
I will try making brownies again some time again, because i remmeber it was much more psychedelic and enjoyable, and not just the intense 'fucked' feeling you get when smoking hydro.
 
the cool thing about eating weed:
when you absorb the THC (the good bit of the weed) into your bloodstream in your gut they are passed directly to your liver. your liver then converts all theTHC absorbed by your body into a slightly different chemical that is actually a more hallucinogenic version of the original. hence all the weed you eat is naturally made more potent. this doesn't happen when you smoke because it doesn't go anywhere near your liver (or at least not enough of it to make a difference).
this shouldn't be true but it is. i guess the body is just helping us to get high!

I don't really know how much weed was in the brownies, since I didn't make them and they were made before I got there. I know there was alot there because the brownies were very thick and chewy. YUM :)
 
Mr X - The last time we made them (we made cookies though), we took an 1/8th of our "normal" grade marijuana, cooked it on low with butter for 24 hours in a Crock Pot, then threw all of the butterinto the cookie dough, thickened it up with peanut butter and cooked. Very good. Very messed up for a very long time (~20 hours, 1/3 of the cookies).
 
I heard someone once say they had thc butter, do u have to use thc butter? or is it just better to use thc butter? how would u even make thc butter
or can u just put the pot in and cook regularly?
enough questions ;)
 
Search Psyedelic forum for more info on recepies, it has been covered there many times :)
 
you don't have to do the thc butter thing, it just makes the cake a slightly nicer texture.
you can crumble in your usual skunk, pollen, standard soapbar (oh how it mings...) or whatever and it will still work just as well.
i reckon the thc butter thing is just so that some people can feel that they're doing it better than the ordinary plebs.
 
sure you could...but who wants to eat skanky bits of bud and leaf.
i know a fried that did this that ended up with a batch of horrible looking green leafy cookies. they tasted horrible.
make the butter :)

THC is a fat soluable compound, that's why you must use butter or oil or something when preparing it for eating. Once the green is cooked into the butter or oil you can strain it leaving a green butter that is loaded with THC - or don't even bother straining out the leaf - it's much easier not to. And those little peices of leaf will kick it up a notch I imagine.
And don't use KB or skunky weed, plain old shake will do the job just the same, and save you cash.
 
I have heard a few people tell me that they have eaten raw weed and got mild effects. They had to eat about 1.5 gram of dank weed each. And it was hard to get down. Just make the butter, its the most effective way.

you mean like basil, oregano or one of the many other herbs people routinely use for cooking??????

no, thc and other psychoactives in cannabis are activated by heat, i.e. cooking, smoking etc.
 
you can eat raw weed and get high, but i think that heat helps it.
iv aten weed twice, once a GIANT bud and butter sandwitch(this one had heat), i had wierd hallucinations like little ant people crawling around the weed, i drew a bunch of scribbles in a phone book(like little kids do) and then i passed out.
the second time i ate a bowlsworth and a small pile of red hairs,(cold) the intire time i just felt kinda out of it, and had veary slight physical sensations(like the normal puching and pulling feeling i get on weed)
