I got some shitty stuff for cheap, so ive been making butter with it and just putting it on bread and such. man, i forgot how different eating it is. so much more psychedelic. much clearer thinking. why do we mostly smoke pot ? maybe its for instant gratification?

anyway, is there anyone out there that just eats it? im really thinking about just giving up on smoking as an moa.

I would prefer not to create the concoction in my girlfriend's parent's trailer. It would smell greatly and would threaten my stay here.

Otherwise, I'd be all over that. I'd also run various extractions (i.e. DMT) and do basic synthesis of various substances.
 
My main reason for not eating pot is that it usually takes a greater quantity to get a good high going and the duration of the high often will kill the better part of a day. If I have nothing to do and a surplus lying around then I think there is no better way to get high of the pot because it definitely will just lay you out in a stupor. I think that down the road, as I grow more concerned about the effects smoking pot has on lung function, eating will become my primary consumption of the plant.
 
lasts too long, hard to control dose, more intense experience than i'm usually looking for.

i like eating weed, but it's definitely something i'd only do if i had a whole day to just be high as shit.
 
Instant gratification for sure, which is fine. But I do love eating weed, the way it comes on and it's just a different feel - body high for sure.

If you don't want to eat brownies or whatever, I used the technique linked to below for `cooking` the weed with coconut oil which I then put in capsules. Using high quality bud, 2 capsules got me nice and high. 3 could be too much sometimes.

You need to have a candy/kitchen thermometer to do this way, but it's precise and the end product is well worth it in my opinion. Oh yeah, I wouldn't recommend trying it with any less than a half ounce, any less and it's too easy to burn it while cooking. You'll end up having around 30 capsules in your freezer ready to go. (Of course you don't have to use high quality bud, you'll just need an extra capsule or two to get you high.)

^ nice, i might have to try that. this stuff i made tastes like shit. i remember seeing capsules down at the whole foods.

so i wasnt "high as shit" but i did stay pleasantly high all day. i really enjoyed the body load and intensification of colors and sounds without the cloudy thinking and paranoia i get from smoking. hell ,i went to the store, ran a few mile, went apartment hunting. and yeah, i guess i used more weed in one sitting, but it lasted all day. i would have had to smoke several times during the day to get similar effects.

also, eating it seems to have a more pronounced antidepressant effect on me.

im tempted to double the dose today, but i have to get some things done.

CONS: i was hungry as fuck all day. i also spent too much time talking to random people and not
completing whatever task was happening. also I overslept by about 2 hours today.
 
if i switched to eating weed everyday, id weigh about 200 lbs more. after a brownie or two i can seriously down anything you put in front of me
 
cuz eating it sucks. it takes way more to get high and an hour to feel it. plus the actual smoking of the weed is one of the best parts about blazing. just take a blunt to the face man, ull be wrecked. plus, why bother with getting shitty tree anyway?
 
I have friends that only eat it but they smoked it for decades and they like how the high from eating a lot of herb lasts for days if you eat a lot and make the food strong. I have no idea the grade they use, they could just get lots of schwag or mids and just use that.

Eating it is different from smoking or vaping it but it's a waste to make edibles with dank herb since the amount of herb you use could get you and a few other people very high multiple times if you were to smoke or vaporize all of it.

+1 on weekend addiction's advice to get a vape. If you love eating herb or even smoking it you'll love vaping.

I'm actually a big fan of eating my cannabis. When I cop, I'll smoke half my sack, and eat the other half. But when I eat it, I usually just make cannaoil, and go on about my day.

I'll cook up a gram or so of my bud, and I'm good all day. Usually it doesn't get too overpowering, but there's been times. Lol. But, it keeps me mellow all day long, and then when I decide to sleep, I sleep amazingly well...
 
I would bake way more often if it didnt smell like crazy. I had to move back in with my parents (tuition+rent=massive debt) so i can't really smell up the house for days. man i love edibles.

im to that point - iv been making hashbutter, hash+butter, and dont feel the urge to smoke even good LA bud because one -my chest hurts, two i get so high all day from one serving . but it is expensive and my tolerance is crazzy high now lol
 
i don't eat it because when I do it's not intense enough and I have to eat a lot more than I smoke to get as high, even if it lasts a bit longer eaten.

I'd personally rather smoke the .5g or so over several hours than put it all in a firecracker.
 
Need larger amounts to put in food. The high isn't as enjoyable as smoking it IMO but it is still nice.
