Replace #5 with “Sleep for the next 7 hours and wake up feeling like you wasted all your weed.”
I promise I’m not being extra.
Anyone else not have edibles work for them?
Have a high tolerance for pain and weed both. Multiple sources. Legal states. 100+ mg. Nothing.
Curious if there are others. Had someone tell me one time they think it could be like the red headed pain tolerance thing.
I’m convinced that when they say edibles contain an amount of thc, what they REALLY mean is that’s how much thc WOULD be in it if whatever process used to extract thc from plant matter was 100% efficient with perfect yields. Anyone that’s ever tried to make weed edibles at home should know that this never happens.
I’m just saying. Even on chemistry videos of decarboxylations (of things that aren’t weed) even using glassware, temperature control and a bunch of extra bullshit you definitely don’t have in your kitchen, they STILL get dogshit yields.
Yeah, some of us just have to take a ridiculous amount for them to work. I will get a mild body buzz if I take 800-1000 mg, and an actual decent high if I take 1500+ mg.
I still get ripped off of flower and concentrate, so I’m not worried. I will say that the edibles take forever to wear off once they do finally kick in. I’m talking I’ll take 1500 mg after breakfast, party all day and still have a nice buzz when I go to sleep that night. Due to this, I only do edibles once or twice a year.

I never understood the impatience. Try one and leave it at that for the first time. If it wasn’t enough, try two the next time, which should be at least 24 hours later, and so on and so forth. There’s nothing wrong with accidentally microdosing.
Imagine a kid at their first party wanting to appear cool and have those “teenage experiences”. Not knowing if they’ll have the chance to try edibles again.
Fair enough, but maybe pocket some instead of downing more?
This happened to me one time, however there is a big “but”.
A friend gave me a big coffee can half full of dry weed. He told me it was really really old, and it probably wouldn’t “work” anymore. It looked kinda old, too, sort of grayish-green and not very appealing.
I had never smoked before, and so I thought I should make edibles out of it. I did some research and resolved to extract the resin with acetone. It was a bit of work, especially getting all the acetone needed without too many questions, but I did it, and I successfully extracted the resin. I then looked up a cookie recipe and worked the resin in there.
Now, I was a really dumb semi-intelligent adolescent. I kept remembering my friend telling me this was probably not going to do anything. So when the first cookie seemed to do nothing after an hour, I thought “at least I have some decent cookies”, and I proceed to eat them all.
Turned out my friend was very very wrong.
I’m sure that acetone works, but maybe too well? I’ve only used food as the extracting medium. Butter was my preferred means, mainly because I worked at a movie theater and had access to a lot of butter. I’ve used heavy milk and made ice-cream and once bread. The bread was light green and tasted like shit, but it still worked. The ice-cream was gross too. But when you started thinking you might like another scoop you knew it was working.
Acetone is how I made hash for years. These days I make bubble hash with ice water and extremely fine mesh sieves.
How much acetone did you need? I just buy the stuff in one gallon buckets at Home Depot, or any hardware store.
This was in the late 90s of the previous millennium, so I do not remember exactly how much I used, but you cannot buy acetone in gallons in Germany, only in small quantities.
Ahh, that makes sense. Here in the US it’s sold in tiny bottles in shops all over as fingernail polish remover, but that stuff is crazy expensive. Like $3.99 for 6-8 oz of the stuff. A gallon costs me $20. I guess it is kinda hazardous if used improperly. I used to use it to make hash back in the late '90s early '00s, these days I use it to clean pipes and other things.
Edibles are a lesson in greed. When you want to eat more, you should know they’ve started to work.
sounds like one should always have a different snack available on the side
You could have weed brownies and then also regular brownies so you can eat an unreasonable amount of brownies :)
You can also have both regular brownies and more regular brownies, and and also eat an unreasonable amount of brownies.
I really like brownies :)
My gf and I went on a car trip through the south of the US way back in '99-'00. At some dinky little roadside gas station/ store/ wide spot in the road, we grabbed a brownie mix called “Mississippi Mud Fudge Brownie Mix.” I am now spoiled, and normal brownies are just a sad reminder of the best brownies ever.
Ripppp. Gotta make best friends with a baker/patissier who will help you chase down the mythical brownie recipe of your memory 🥲
Have regularly brownies and weed brownies on the same plate. The old Weed Roulette!
Depends on if you’ve trained yourself not to get the munchies. It takes a fuckton of discipline, and really the way to do it is don’t have any food in the house, and do have a video game that sucks you in for hours at a time. If you can get high consistently, and ignore the munchies, after about a month or two, you stop getting the munchies. At least that was my and several of my ADD friends experience in university.
True story.
