People don't always have room in their pockets for cookies, brownies, cereal bars, etc. Pills are good when you're on the go, and don't have time, or appetite to eat. Pills are nothing more then an easier form of dosing your medication. Think about how bad it would suck if you had to eat an Excedrin brownie or cookie every time you had a headache... It makes no sense.

I get what you're saying in regards to the tie between pills, pharmaceuticals, and REAL drug abuse in 2009... but it's not like that for anyone... People don't quit abusing pharmaceuticals by popping pot pills, and I don't think taking pot pills increases your chances of abusing pharmaceuticals.

I could use the same logic to tie smoking joints to smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes are used/abused daily by millions of people, they carry true health risks, and unfortunately the companies that produce them do not see consequences often enough... However, if smoking your herb is what works best for you, even though a faster, easier alternative such as pills is available, do what works for you!

My opinion anyhow... knowing what its like to have poor lung function due to smoking.

Fair enough man.
But when we take cannabis to that new level-pills, then the whole aura of the magical herb is lost, but that is my personal opinion.
Like U said if your in a hurry and have no time to cook then yes, a perfect combo.

Not a matter of time constraint for me, rather, I don't feel I should miss out on the miracle that is weed, just because it hurts my lungs to smoke a bowl.

Man if you can find a way to quit cigs, go for it. My hubby and I quit together, so we had each other for support (and to strangle haha). But I sure wish I had quit a long time ago. Yeah I like the baked goods, too, but we have to be careful with them, as hubby is diabetic.

The pills sound amazing, my wife and I don't smoke tabacco, but we do smoke Marijuana quite a bit, I've never been a fan of baking cannabis. I tried it once, used 4 ounces of fine ground bud, One brownie had me baked for a good 10 hours, but, it took almost 3 hours for it to kick in and I didn't like that. But if the pill work faster that could be a great option!

i know this is probably a dumb question seeing as everyone on this site grows their very own super dank, but did you use regs or krippy (chroinc) for those muffins? i was just wondering cause 2 grams of reggie getting two people messed uup for 10 hours sound awesome!

i've used something like this for a couple years to make brownies... i posted it on another thread... and it works like a charm...

i did it about 4 days ago with all the leaves from a plant that hermied on me... THE LEAVES, no budsites, those i rolled into sum joints and smoked...

so anyways, it must have been around 5-7 grams of dry LEAVES and i threw it in sum oil, left it on the stove for 3.5 hours, on low, hot but not hot enough for the leaves to fry, stirring ocassionally.....

i then made the brownies, the .88 cent betty crocker ones....

it took bout 2 hours for it to kick in and we were stoned for quite a while too....

i've never removed or strained the plant material, if it's well grounded up, the oil crisps it up so nice that you can't even feel it in the brownies....

and depending on how large your batch, for one box of brownies i'm guessing 1/8 of creepy is more than enough to get you real high if you eat a decent sized piece.... i always eat almost 1/3 of the batch to make sure i get high... and always end up REALLY HIGH for a couple hours!!!..

i was kinda hoping the pills would get you high as a kite to sneak them into places smoking would get you kicked out of or arrested.....

either way nice try...

and remember, if you're gonna make brownies don't just throw the buds in the brownie mix... it might get you high too but it'll taste like shit and have horrible texture... 'cook' the bud in oil on a slow simmer for at least 2 hours... i always do it for at least 3.... and then add it to the brownie mix....

I thought I would try it out, so here's what I did:
Took 2 grams of bud and ground it as fine as I could with a spoon. Mixed it with a TBSP of vegetable oil. Put mixture in a coffee cup in the oven, at 180 degrees for four hours. Strained out plant material - again with the spoon. Used dropper to put liquid into geletin capsules.

So I thought I would use the plant material left as well, why waste it right? Threw it in a batch of blueberry muffin mix (the just add water kind) and gave 'em a try. My hubby and I ate one, didn't feel much...ate the rest of the batch. Well I guess we were just too impatient - because about two hours later, we were high as hell - and it lasted for TEN SOLID HOURS. Holy hell! A measly 2 grams! All I can say is, I hope there is as much spacy goodness in the pills, as was in the muffins. We will be taking them this coming weekend - so I'll update then on the potency.
