Don't eat for a first time. Although you can't over dose to die, you can certainly over dose your comfort level. I seen a funny thread not long ago about a cop who stole some bud and baked it in brownies then called 911 and said he thought he was dieing from an OD lol

Difference is smoking is instant so when you are at the level you want to be you just stop

When you eat, there is a big delay so you can easily eat too much and have no idea untill it kicks in way later

Vaporizing is pretty mellow in the lungs too. Without much experience I would take it easy on the medibles. And strain choice is huge. Some strains knock you out, and thats it, your out. Others are actually quite psychedelic, most strains lean more toward the knock out end of the spectrum. Most of my grower friends are careful of other peoples goodies, even my own I take caution. If you ask enough people you are sure to come up with at least a few that have made it so they can't stand up, or get up, or move. Or just freaked out for a day and a half. Don't be worried thats and extreme circumstance. Have fun and remember it takes a while to kick in, taking more either because its not working yet or it just taste so good can get really really high. Really high!

wtf duuuude, if you're really a medibles virgin you're missing out!!!! meddibles willllll fuck you uuuuup. My tolerance for them is pretty low now; they have to have like 1/2 ounce for me to get super medicated - Anyways; try it; it's great; and don't eat too much; you'll freak out and call the cops on yourself or some shit; take it slow haha. Dark Chocolate + Peanutbutter = Go

I am a medical patient and use for pain, spasm and PTSD. I find that vaporizing effects me differently than eating it. Smoke or vaping kicks in quickly and last hour or so where eating takes hour but lasts for 4-8 hours. Of course smoking is most toxic but gives the "high" people enjoy, where vaporizing while similar is different and some folks don't like it. I have seen people get pretty sick from eating too much and it's kinda like a bad trip till they sleep, so be careful. It's an amazing medication and each consumption usage is a bit different.....enjoy
 
If say 4 or 5 good hits on a bowl does you right. putting about the same amount on a cracker and peanut butter would the effect be about the same?

I'd say you get way more bang for your buck eating it. Just make sure it's decarboxylated. Eating MJ you will contain all the cannabinoids. When smoking you'll burn off a good bunch + exhale a lot of them. A good idea, when you make edibles is to make a good bunch each time, and freeze them. That way you'll quickly learn exactly how much you need, and you can take a slightly smaller or larger dose when needed. When high on edible i feel great. It's more of a full body experience - even with a sativa dominated strain. When you feel you're not high anymore - boost it with a hit from the vaporizer or a joint, and you'll be right back after a hit or two. I just made cannabutter and bought a bunch of equally sized containers with each 3grams of cannabutter. I know that one of those is a perfect dosage for me. Have fun, but as the other guys say - be carefull when eating. You want to have a slight underdoze first time compared to a OD (od as in too much to be comfortable - you won't die even though you'll probably think and feel that way when you call the ambulance ;)

I am curious what you ended up doing with your 30 grams. I would have split it like you suggested and tried to different methods. You never know what the effects are going to be unless you try if for yourself.


I know from my experience that I have extra smoking gear lying around because it was “better” in other people’s opinions, but once I tried the items I was not thrilled. You may love making some brownies, or you may hate it, but how can you know what works for you without trying it? I know when I finished playing around, I stuck with a glass pipe I picked up years ago.

If your worried about potency or control with medibles why not make a glycerin tinkture very controllable you can put it in to say a glass of juice or morning coffee as well. Or on top of your brownies lol.
 
I am by no means an expert, but I am a pretty good cook/baker. I finished a 1 plant outdoor grow in October. The plant is Angel's Breathe, I got XXz's of bud and Xz's of good trim/popcorn. The bud I properly cured in jars and smells great with the faint scent of mango. The trim was just left on a screen to dry over a weeks time because I wanted to cook with it and did not think it mattered. I decarbed it at 240 degrees for 40 minutes in the oven. I then used 1 cup of coconut oil to extract 1/2 cup of pressed trim using the crockpot/water method over 8 hrs.
I made a peanut butter/oatmeal/coconut cookie using a melon baller for equal dosing. They were very potent, but I could taste the "greenness" of the oil because of the lack of cure. The oil itself had the obvious smell of chlorophyll. My next batch I did the same process as above using the cured bud and it tasted a lot better, but I could still taste and smell the weed. My next batch I did everything else the same, but used "volcano poop" or vaped bud in the same quantity. The cookies turned out awesome with no taste of weed and the small cookie will keep a smile on your face for 4 hours. So now I vape all my buds lightly at 370 degrees which leaves plenty for the oil extraction. The oil now has a sweet smell on its own and I get twice the doses from the same medicine. Talk about win win.
None of this except the recipes are my idea, I just have read a lot and learned from others mistakes/success's. The remainder of weed left after the extractions for this or my tinctures gets baked into peanut 'budder' which I use to make doggie biscuits for my elderly K9 companions with bad hips/issues. I used the basic recipe which was posted in this forum for the treats. It honestly works very well on the dogs and can go from pain relief to serious "doggie pillow lock" with the dosage. I just wish I would have had it to help my previous dogs in their final days to ease their pain.
The rest of my trim will be used to make my arthritis balm. The green color works just fine with the emu oil/coconut oil, shea butter, capsicum, menthol and beeswax. The balm is really outstanding and is almost instant in pain relief for muscle aches and joint pains. Sure am glad I discovered my new multi-purpose medicine that even I initially thought was just to get "stoned" with. My PTSD is better and I am a much happier/healthy person. My wife uses the cookies as a aphrodesiac/sleep aid, which is an added bonus and dogs like the "treats" almost as much as I do.
Some things are too good not to share and I just wanted to say thanks to my "teachers" and am glad to have found this site to learn from. I'm not an expert in anything of this, but wanted to share what has worked for me and my family.​
