Did you all remember to de carb it first?
I've done some insane party favors at quad strength and those that ate them ,,, were ALL locked to a chair for over 6 hrs. Hell i got up the next day at like 1pm and was still half blind till after 3.....Folks were so blasted we had others get us beers..
The quality of the edible is directly related to the quality of the product used.....period!
No de carbing - shit buzz to no buzz!

Maybe what Ive had just isnt potent enough, and possibly not 'well' done. The last thing was from a dispensary - ate 2 fruity pebble treats, which is 8x the dose (they say 1/4 of 1 to start). Maybe I just need more!

I think the above technical digestion info may play a big part as well as the other factors. I remember we used to eat mangos and such while waiting for the mushrooms to kick in. Wasn't science yet in the 80's but it seemed to work faster.
I say make your own with some good stash to make sure.
Awesome to have such knowledge around here!

If you smoke a lot and have a higher tolerance then edibles have less of an intense effect.
This was a problem i had. But then i tried not smoking at all one day and i ate a cookie that night just to see and..... holy fuck... i could barely get out of my chair.
It also depends on how much you ate and how tired you are. Same as booze. Ever notice one day you can drink 6 beer and barely feel anything and then another night you drink 3 and actually get drunk? Same with weed.
Also, the very first time i ever smoked i never got a buzz. Same with the first cookie i ever ate...nothing...

depends on the edible for me, the "freebies" id get at dispensaries never really did anything for me, i've tried cheeba chews ate about 1/3 of the 70 mg and it got me pretty good! Half a 45 mg Kiva bar hits me pretty good too and the green hornet gummies are good to. the edibles I got in Denver were pretty lame but I think it has to do with their regulations. I've made them at home with cannabutter, results weren't great I've also used 1 gram dewaxed shatter per batch of peanut butter cookies, those were a bit too strong! had a friend go to the ER!
I think you'll have to trial and error till you find something that grabs you right, at least that's how it worked for me. try some of the "Name Brands" with good reps.

generally you need 3 times what you would smoke.. roa, bioavailability extended duration of effect etc
in general, 50mg with no tolerance
100-300 for regular smokers with 3 being fairly high tolerance
how the product was prepared make a big dif, cbd more stable than thc..cbn..breakdown or loss of compounds and terps
lower temp is better.. using concentrate and visually watching decarb complete........
as mentioned coconut oil is great for oral use

You mean watching just concentrate decarb? Or is it a process that can be seen in finely minced trim too?
Also...what to watch for?

thc-cooh breaks down to co2 h2o mostly.
concentrate over a double boil-steady 210 will relese bubbles of these gasses. like popcorn when the bubbles slow its done.
you can decarb "in sloution" as if boiling water cannabis and butter or whatever but im not sure it would be concentrated enough to really watch. i always use concentrate for more accurate dosing.
but thats my thinking

Mellow yellow. I tried that many years ago. It's bullshit. You don't get high from it. Try smoking rosemary instead. What a rush.

I've had and made edibles that made me trip pretty hard.
They have made me uncomfortable a few times and on the verge of freaking.

Awesome info... thanks very much for the help!Hey yall ... i know what you guys mean about edibles and their effect
If your girlfriend gets super high from the same batch you tried and you didnt get high and especially if you feel the tolerance isnt a factor in this, its probably due to THC metabolism in the liver. If you eat it on an empty stomach and when hungry, your delta 9 THC will be metabolised and you wont feel a thing. However, keep your liver super busy digesting a heavy meal you ate at least an hour (best if 2 hours) ago, and your delta 9 thc will be partially metabolised by the busy liver to delta 11 THC, which is more potent and has longer duration than your delta 9, and THATs when youd really feel it or trip on it like your GF did.
I hope this helps many understand why this happens sometimes
Another factor is your GI ability to absorbing it (some or most or little of it) ..... bioavailability.....high MCT content will increase bioavailability ... coconut oil is a good oil with lots of MCT. Or you can add some MCT amd lecithin to your butter diring extraction to improve the extraction and bioavailability to you.
I hope this helps ..... happy growin n medicating yall

Thanks for the info. I guess for some reason I thought less went farther for people.
