quick marijuana question

[phaedros]

I know that marijuana is fat soluble.So before you used it to bake you would make marijuana butter and then use it in your baking .

So since it is fat soluble I was wondering if SWIM could just mixe it with peanut butter and then eat it to get the same effect.Seems like it should work because the peanut buter is full of fat.But SWIM wanted to know if it would work and if heat is mandatory for it to work.

Also Ive read that 1 to .5 grams is the proper dose to take in this form.Ive read that it takes about an hour to feel the effects,It is alot stronger taken this way,and it lasts alot longer.If anybody has any experiancse with any of this please share it with me.

SWim(lol) loves smoking marijuana but it makes SWIM cough too much.SWIM would like to experiment with this method a little bit and see if it will give SWIM the same effects that he has come to enjoy so much.Swim would like to try it tonight so he would appreciate anything that you can contribute.Thank You.

I believe heat potentiates weed.Try peanut butter cookies.

and yeah,heat and eat is a very good mode of ingestion.

Everything I've read about eating pot said you have to heat it for a while in the butter/other fatty substance. I could be wrong, but I don't think eating it with peanut butter would work nearly as well (if at all). The pot would probably go right through you without much of the THC coming out.

[chopstix]

Heat is actually necessary to convert THC into a psychoactive - you can make butter with a double boiler, 100 degrees C is about what it takes for the conversion. I wouldn't bother with peanut butter - just sautee in a pan with some butter or olive oil and make toast or hot chocolate or something.

And ya, start out slow, you can always burn a little more and try again later. Really easy to go overboard like this...

Have fun.

[sweet pea]

yeah. definitely heat it up.

also, you could just cook it in vegetable oil or some other type of cooking oil. here's an email that i got from a friend. she and her friend SWEAR by this. i haven't tried it yet.

This is pretty easy, just cook your weed in cooking oil. You just have to be careful not to cook too high or it'll crispy-fry your weed. 20 min or so of cooking it is enough and you can cook with it just like regular oil, or add to hot chocolate and drink it down like that.

Personally, I think the oil has a MUCH better taste than the butter, it really doesn't have much of a taste at all. Good for ppl that can't tolerate the taste of cannabutter very much.



Update: 8 - 10 minutes of cooking in oil is probably more then plenty....


sorry, said the same thing as chopstix, pretty much. just don't cook it too hot. apparently that may ruin it.

[nick]

Yeah,be careful.It's very easy to heat,eat and spend the next 14 odd hours staring off into space,giggling inanely .

[Indy]

Ever hear of "firecrackers"? Basically you just microwave peanut butter with weed in it, til it gets nice and hot, then spread it on some graham crackers or what have you. Really simple way to do it, but since peanut butter doesn't have THAT high of a fat content, you might not get the most out of it.

Note that i've never tried weed at all, so this is just based on what i've read.

Well here is the source that SWIM is working from http://www.drugs-plaza.com/recipesnuttelacrackers.htm

I see now that even it mentions heat.But ok.If SWIM used the recipe in the link except used peanut butter instead of the nutella, it should work,right?

If you have a minute check out the website it has alot of very good recipes.SWIM was also wondering if this recipe
http://www.drugs-plaza.com/recipessimplecannabistea.htm
for "simple cannabis tea" will work.Whats do you think? Im trying to find a way with for SWIM orally ingesting that can be just as simple as rolling a joint.Just tring to make sure that SWIM dont do something wrong and end up waisting money.SO, anything you can offer in the way of experiances or knowledge is greatly appreciated.Thank You.

[Thebane]

I don't know about the tea... You may get something but I doubt it would be cost-effective since I'm pretty sure the active ingredient is primarily fat-soluble, not water-soluble.

I think the easiest, quickest way would be to do a large amount of weed in oil (once you get the hang of it so you don't mess up a large batch) and then just eat a small amount whenever you want to use it. That way there's 20 minutes of preparation but you can get 20+ uses out of it. That would probably be quicker long-term than rolling a joint every time. I've heard the oil stores fine in the refrigerator.

[poonwhalla]

A hot buttered rum would be a good idea. The alcohol will help extract the THC also.

[Indy]

Why not try the "firecrackers"? All you need is a microwave and like half a minute, hell you dont even need the graham crackers you could just eat the peanut butter.

as an alternative to the tea, you can also make cannibis milk. i've heard it works very well, but you need a thermometer so you can keep it at the right temperature. i didn't have a thermometer, so i'm pretty sure i fucked it up. if you wanna try that, look online. there are lots of recipes for it. tastes kind of horrid, tho.

I think SWIM is gonna give this a try.SWIM will skip the graham crackers.Just heat the peanut butter a half a minute ,up to one minute, while watching.Then just mix and eat.Hopefully that works.Ill report back about it in a hour.lols...SWIM just put "Sid and Nancy" in the dvd player so he has a properly tripped out movie to help the experiance along..lols...anybody seen it?

I'd mix,heat and then eat.

[phaedros]

I'd mix,heat and then eat.

Thats what SWIM did.SWIM went ahead and gave it one minute of heat in the microwave.It turned to liquid with the heat.SWIM has got it cooling.When it cools down enough to eat SWIM will go ahead and ingest it and take stock of the time.If all goes well SWIM will know about an hour after that.



Im tired of this SWIM shit.arent you?LOL

Let us know how it goes, I'd also be interested to hear if there was any smell from the microwave process? I want to make some butter but I don't want to risk a cop coming by (like they sometimes do on campus) and the whole downstairs reeking of weed.

The only smell SWIM got was a peanut butter smell like the smell of peanut butter cookies being cooked.

From what I read on the links I posted about making butter,I think that it would smell quite a bit more.Just my opinion from reading the process though.

SWIM actually set a few ounces on fire in the microwave when he was a kid.Parents where asleep and SWIM went downstairs and used the microwave to dry some of the weed out of the paper grocery bag that SWIMs friend had given him earlier that day.SWIM went upstairs for about 2 minutes to use the bathroom.Before he even walked to the stairs to go back downstairs he could smell it.Once SWIM walked downstairs he could see that the whole downstairs was filled with smoke like the house was burning down or something.Nobody woke up.They all slept very well that night..lols:D

[nycjrt]

i never dug weed back in the day, although i would smoke it often and suffer the paranoia/side effects (i found acid much smoother- go figure) - one day in hs i ate a joint, thinking i would get a mellow high all day:confused: - the shit had to have been laced (not that uncommon back then in nyc) because no joke i was tripping for two weeks- my heart was racing, i was seeing traces, numb, etc. for weeks- everyone laughs when i tell them this story but it was real as could be, i recognise now it was more pcp-like effects but has anyone else had a similar situation where they ingested pot (whatever way) and literally stayed high for over 2 weeks?? it wasn't until a few years ago (almost 20 years later) that i could enjoy a nice buzz off of high quality pot

[phaedros]

It has been a hour since SWIM ingested about one gram.(About one "sorta" fat one).SWIM feels something,but I think I would have gotten more feeling if I would have smoked it.Maybe it just needs a little more time though.Ill see.

[devilsdrug]

hey herea a? for u grow experts , how can u get rid of a heavy infestation of mites 1 week before harvest

[rockbottom]

everybody i know who cooks with weed makes butter with it---but when i had strep throat and couldnt smoke i ate an eighth of weed in a tortilla with peanut butter and got blasted out of this world and back in the hash days we'd just eat a couple grams if we wanted probably wasteful but hell i cant cook;)

[poonwhalla]

you could try ladybugs they will eat those fuckers in about a week. you could also spray them down with water with an organic killer safe for harvesting or just water with neem oil in it. When you spray down the plants just make sure there are no big drops of water on the top of the plants or they will burn in those spots.

[stringbeanjeans]

I always think you get far more wrecked smoking a comparable amount of weed. Eating pot is a nice change of pace though I guess.


Peanut Butter is great to use IMO. Make a peanut butter sandwich with lots of peanut butter and spinkle a bit a pot in the sandwich . Mix the peanut butter again so all the pot is throughly covered. Wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil and heat it in the oven for 30 minutes. I think it actually works better than other methods. Just my 2 cents.

[sweet pea]

i rarely cook with it, but i'd say it's far, far better than smoking a comparable amount. if i smoke i just get only so high, no matter how much i smoke.

i was never properly fucking high on weed until i ate it. i just remembered i got so high i puked one time from brownies!

[devilsdrug]

thank you poon , the neem is being tried and the ladybugs were brought up ,ill see if there is any around today and if not ill buy some off the net

[trainwrecker]

Careful what kind of Neem you buy, some of it is neem mixed with other harmful pesticides that you don't want to be smoking later.

I'm not sure the severity of the problem but if you have a chest freezer you could always just harvest and throw it all in the freezer, freeze them little bitches solid.

[superman]

as for dose, depends on quality. i would usually mix half a grab of oil with hot vegetable oil and stir to dissolve the good, then make a tiny pancake with this.

it's crucial that you keep your stomach empty!!

whenever i did this, i'd be flying all day long.

be carefull!

yea its pure neem and the freezer was another option dicussed, harvest , cure , freeze sounds good does freezing affect appearance

[poonwhalla]

It should still look the same DD

[scikid]

I don't think its a good idea to use a microwave, its much easier to just cook it up in some oil on a pan. Plus I would imagine that a microwave destroys most of the thc

Shit you can do this in a spoon over a flame.

[SHELLEY]

what if ya can't have butter, or peanut butter, or margarine?
will soy-free margarine work too?

[nick]

Sure,I believe so or try olive oil.You just want a decent emulsifier to get the oils out when you heat your dope.

To be honest,I'm not 100% sure,it's been a long,long time since I could be bothered to do this.I'm about 90% sure.

[Restharrow]

This is 30 plus years ago -- the theory should hold today.

Everyone had bad bronchitis and coughs. MJ was placed in a small pan and "fried" in just enough Wesson Oil to cover it. The resulting oil / MJ mix was added to brownie mix and the brownies made according to directions.

Result was the most potent sleep inducing MJ high ever achieved. It took several hours to "feel" the effect, but everyone was knocked out for 10 hours.

I don't know what was in Wesson Oil in the early 1970's and I would just eat about 1/4th browine instead of 2 or 3 brownies.

Everyone credited the frying of MJ in Wesson Oil with the results.

Edit: I posted this before I realized this was a "quick" question and had 3 pages of results from people with more experience than mine.

[Woowoo]

The only time I've ever gotten off on eating pot is when we put over an ounce of fairly good pot in a tray of brownies. Even then I had to eat three full brownies (well over a quarter ounce) to feel anything. And even then the high wasn't all that great.

That's one hell of an expensive way to get high. Maybe if you grow your own it's a viable option, but if you pay anywhere near the prices I pay, it's out of the question.

Maybe too, it's a question of tolerance. If you can get high off of one or two hits of weed, then maybe eating a brownie will do you in. But for me, I just enjoy smoking it way too much. Why mess with success?

[OxiContinKing]

Ive never ate any weed, only smoked it...

I do like the method of making a peanut butter sandwhich and then adding some weed in, wrapping in aluminum foil, and baking for 30 minutes or so, but how much pot is suggested to use?

and is high-quality pot suggested over say mids or of course nasty ass shwag?

I enjoy the whole pot-smoking process, thats why Ive never bothered attempting to eat pot, but I do want to try it so that I can compare the highs...

Ecspecially since someone mentioned that they seem to get higher when they eat weed rather than when they smoke it (seems like im at that point now too, where no matter how much i smoke, or what quality the pot is, i really dont get high anymore...), so that's what really has me interested...

[NV12]

Why not just make some brownies? Can't go wrong with that... I made lots of brownies when I was in college, semi sweet or dark chocolate always tasted better to me...

[OxiContinKing]

Im not too particularly fond of brownies...

although considering the reason behind eating them, I might be able to stomach them, but still, brownies are far from my favorite thing to eat...as with most chocolate...

Maybe you just made crap brownies because you'd have to smoke one hell of a lot of weed to get as messed up as eating it.

Was the weed just dumped straight in to the brownie mix or was cannabutter/oil used? I'm fairly certain that to obtain maximum results you need to pre-cook the weed in something fatty to draw out the essentials.
Using cannabutter derived from about an oz. of plant material yields a tray of brownies of such strength that only a 3" x 3" piece is needed to cop a buzz that lasts 8-12 hours. And it has nothing to do with tolerance - we've been smoking an oz. a week for over a decade and our brownie recipe leaves us comatose.

Hava butchers hook ( look) on www,MARIA.GREEN.ES.......They sell a product that is good for protection, but also same product will kill any infestion if used in a more concentrated form.....

Its always worked for moi...Go get them muvvafuckers....Also the products are organic based, so no nasty chemicals in ya ganja...Also check out da Jorge cervantes website, usually has a solution to all problems re growin etc...

I wasn't the chef but I know that the weed was cooked in butter on low heat for a long time. The recipe called for butter anyhow so we used the pot-infused butter. And it was good pot, but we had a lot of it, so we were willing to be careless with it.

And I did get high, don't get me wrong, and the high latest for hours and hours as opposed to 30-60 minutes from smoking a big fatty. But still, I'd rather have fatty after fatty. It's not so much that it didn't work, it's just that it seemed extravagant. Plus it could be a matter of taste--the two highs are very different.
On a related subject, I can't tell the difference between Marinol pills and aspirin. The most I've eaten are three. Bleah.

[MissyAggravation]

Yeah I agree that eating and smoking produce totally different effects, I enjoy the body buzz and deep sleep that eating provides; but I prefer a good stone from smoking as well.
Actually, eating and then smoking is preferable. :)
And I've read/heard that Marinol is useless for folk that smoke up on a regular basis. Kinda ruined any desire that I'd had to try it.

[JTDuffet]

i have had some experience with making firecrackers before. personally i don't like the high from eating it, but thats just me.. but i do know you can get wasted from baking/eating weed...

here is how i used to make firecrackers... and its quite simple..


take a bunch of your favorite crackers. i used saltines... and for peanut butter, the higher the oil count the better. i was suggested to use some all natural peanut butter, that would settle and separate, but i also had similar luck making them with std peanut butter also..

take the saltines, and spread a nice layer of PB on the cracker. then take approximately a small joint worth, or a little less, and sprinkle on top of the peanut butter..

take second cracker, smear with peanut butter, and take the 2 halfs (with peanut butter on them, and one has the PB AND weed) and mate them together..

put on a baking sheet, and bake at 200-250 degrees for 25 minutes or less. let cool and eat... i would eat, 1-2 and feel it... but again, i never really liked eating weed.. i prefer smoking it..

-jt

[skeezerjohns22]

Yeah, definitely need some sort of heat source for the "marijuana treats" to be any count at all.. swim and his friends use to mix weed w/ the butter, heat, and make chocolate/chocolate chip cookies..talk about alot of chocolate..ha we called them "herb turds"..i know, the name doesn't sound appetizing at all, but heck, do you really expect anything better out of a bunch of potties??

[duck]

Maybe you just made crap brownies because you'd have to smoke one hell of a lot of weed to get as messed up as eating it.

I dunno, nick. I mean, if I smoke .2-.3 of a gram, I get super high. If I put the same amount in a brownie, I wouldn't get as high I wouldn't think. Def. haven't ever in any of my experience.

[Shadowsblaze]

The reason you have to cook marijuana is that some of the THC is tied up in the cellulose of the plant material and the human body doesn't digest cellulose but heat breaks it down. Hash is ready to go A quater ounce of good black hash will knock you out if you have been smoking all day.

And the ratio of eating it to smoking it I was told is 7 to 5 7 eating 5 smoking to get equal highs but eating will last longer.
