eating cannabis?

[JGroeling]

so, I've never smoked anything as the thought of smoke in my lungs doesn't entice me to try it, but I was recently having a discussion with a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while and she was saying that she now eats weed because she doesn't like the idea of smoking it too much anymore.

According to her, by eating it you get a better, longer lasting high. I'm just curious what other people's experiences are with this. As I said, not into smoking, but I think I'd give the whole downing a shot.

Thanks

i smoke a lot but when the circumstances don't allow me to smoke, i just eat weed. i haven't tried a lot of recipes though. the Leary biscuit os okay.. ritz cracker, cheese, weed, microwave/toaster oven, taddaaaaa! :)

but the high you get from smoking it is better (from my experience), because i feel like it goes directly to my brain. eating weed just makes me fell heavy, dreamy and sleepy. and i don't giggle a lot, unlike when i smoke it.

i'd say use a vaporizer if you're afraid you'll damage your lungs. like baibye said, eating is a whole different high.

[rangerdanger]

I concur.

Eating pot produces a very different effect vs. smoking it.
I've seen people collapse from eating too many happy oatmeal cookies (just too sedated to function). I've never seen anyone collapse from smoking bud.
Luckily both times the people affected were with dozens of their friends who looked after them.
But it's entirely possible to be so immoblized from eating pot that your house could catch on fire and you wouldn't be able to move, just watch as the flames got closer and closer until you died.
And there's no way to know in advance how much is just right. Pot varies in potency, so every time you mix some up, you need to test a little bit at first and adjust the amt. accordingly.
I mix up large batches of canna-butter and use that to make cookies and other happy foods. I generally don't use them when friends come over, but they're great for pain relief or as a sleeping aid.

Thanks for the info, I might consider a vaporizer, not sure how to use it to get a high though :P Also another peson I know had recently been telling me about "hash oil" at least thats what I think it was called, its made by putting the weed through some process that basically draings all the hihg inducing chemicals from it and into a liquid. Dont remember how you are supposed to take it, but sounded interesting.

This weekend at some party, smoking blunts of haze, I saw this one kid pass out in mid sentence.. he was trying to say some shit to me and it was just degrading slowly into jabberwocky as he was talking til he just passed out...

[NoVictimNoCrime]

you could extract the cannabinoids, but from there it's still the same as eating it, unless you smoke it. a vaporizer heats the bud up below its combustion point so you inhale vapor instead of smoke.

[HotBox420]

well like ranger said..eating it makes it way more intense, actually about 3 times stronger..if youve never been high before then eating it will probably be way too intense..i guess you could buy a vaporizor if your not poor like me lol but its going to be at least 100 dollars (and thats for a cheap one off ebay) so if your going to buy that id plan on being a stoner..unless like i said you got alot of money..but neways..ive heard vaporizing is way more intense than smoking as well so either way be ready for a ride..

[slangshot1]

yeah if i lived outside of my parents house i would totally invest in a volcano but i can only do it outside

[NoVictimNoCrime]

you don't NEED an expensive vaporizer, you can get high off a cheap vapopipe, it just won't be as effective or pleasant.

[JGroeling]

I'll see what I can find about vapopipes, as I just want to try it and see what its like. Thanks for the help all. How should I go about it? water with bud in the vaporizer, then just turn it on and puff away?

[boogans]

Does eating the herb itself do anything? Or does it just work when you make pot butter or whatever?

[Pmeth]

In ever tried eating it i was wodnering the same thing , i might buy some and experement heh?

[Night_Owl49]

Does eating the herb itself do anything? Or does it just work when you make pot butter or whatever?eating it solo doesn't do anything.

[EnterTheFarside]

you need to eat alot more weed to get high than you would by just smoking it

[SliceNDice]

I ate 3 Leary biscuits last night and I could feel it tingling everywhere, including my teeth.

[SirTokesAlot]

stop being a pussy and just smoke it.

And if this tip was too brutle for you, let me discourage your wanting to eat it frequently by saying, its gonna cost more, because it takes more

You also smoked after you ate it, ...thus throwing your expiriment in the toilet

[TheShow]

However, SirTokes, to some folks and I'd guess this chaw the health of his lungs is worth the extra bucks.

[SirTokesAlot]

hey, its not my money... do what you want

[SliceNDice]

You also smoked after you ate it, ...thus throwing your expiriment in the toiletYeah, I was too impatient and sabotaged the experiment, but I did get really baked.

[HotBox420]

to correct some people and clear up some things, no you dont have to eat more than you smoke if you do it right..just make a firecracker..only takes about a joint, or even a little less..get 2 crackers and peanut butter and a piece of tinfoil, put PB on both crackers and then put the herb on one cracker, put them together and then seal the outside (and not the outside of the cracker but sides, hence "seal") wrap in tinfoil and preheat oven to about 375 and when its done preheating just put it in there for 15-20 min depends on how you like it =) 1 is awesome but if you eat a couple you will be out of this world, lol

Edit:..and for the stoners who are baked when making, remeber to break the herb up into almost powder, or as fine as you can get it..and yes you have to heat it before you eat it...

[TheShow]

and yes you have to heat it before you eat it...
Except you don't. One of the useful recipes on erowid discusses MJ Cereal. You add your buds to the milk and sugar and wham bam steal the van. There is NO heat and yet it is still effective. Once again the reason for the heat is to speed up the fatty substance typically butter absorbing the THC. So I believe hypothetically you could submerge your crumbled buds in a melted tub/bowl of butter and let it set for a few hours and you've avoided the cooking process. However, I think it'd take quite a few hours.

[HotBox420]

yes, but trust me, its alot better when you heat it..you dont wanna eat cold cannibis..takes long enough to kick it as it is?

[TheShow]

I'm fully aware, cold cannabis isn't that bad. Yes I know it is better when you heat it. However, that is not the issue. the point is that you DO NOT HAVE to heat, you can and it is recommended but it is not a necessity. when you said "yes, you have to heat it" HAVE refers to the fact that it must be done.

[HotBox420]

fine, its "better" if you heat it, and that is IMO and you even said its recommended, so thats in alot of peoples opinion..

[TheShow]

yes we agree, I'm glad you can understand it. People should be aware that it does not necessarily need to be heated.

But I believe you and I are in agreement and I'm now beating a dead horse.

[HotBox420]

and I'm now beating a dead horse.ok, cold or heated, i think you've ate too much...lol

[ashbury1500haight]

so like you heat it up and just take it out of the tinfoil and eat it ?

[HotBox420]

yep, but itll be a little hot..but i guarentee itll be better and longer than your other highs from smoking =)

[JGroeling]

Thanks for the tip hotbox, when I have the time to try this out I'll post how it turns out. And for sirtokesalot, I appreciate the bluntness, however due to lung issues I really can't smoke anything, nor do I want too. I'm more interested in experiencing a high, rather than the method by which I get there.

Again thanks for all the helpful info.

[SirTokesAlot]

Alright well, whichever way you do it, your still consuming weed which is just fine with me =)

[trippedelia]

seriously man dont worry about smoking it, its part of the experience, smoking with frends, passing the spliff. its not going to hurt your lungs unless you smoke the same frequency as a tobacco addict would.
and anyway just make a lightbulb vape if you are still worried, i made mine super easy, theres heaps of threads here to tell you how.

i had to throw my dirty old one out yesterday:( haha, ill have to make a new one

[MelvnDoo]

you dont even need to use that much weed in the crackers. all you need to get nice and baked is about a bowl´s worth a weed, maybe a bowl and a half´s worth. then grind that shit up, like you said (real fine). i like to add in other ingredients to improve the taste. although, when using bud, you´re going to be able to TASTE it (which i love) so i dont necessarily want to cover that up. but i´ll add some chocolate shavings/powder, carmel, whatever. i also put peanut butter on the bottom of the cracker(s) going on top and seal the edges with more peanut butter.
you can eat it whenever you want - it doesnt have to be right out of the oven. try eating it with 2% milk or a beer or something - that´ll only help.

oh, i also use natural peanut butter that you have to still up the oil in it. it might be more fattening, but regardless, it tastes better than that partially hydrogenated crap (the most common brands).

listen to the man..he was my teacher in another thread and it blew me away when i tried it =)

[HitThatShit]

I have a couple questions, does it have to bein the oven or can it be in the microwave? if it has to be in the oven how long and at what tempurature should i put it at? and lastly, my parents are gonna be out of town from Friday night- Sunday afternoon, will this smell up the house too much for it to air out until then?

[TheOMFGNinja]

I'm currently sick at home.
I have some sorta Cold.
My throat is all fucked up cause of it, and I wanna smoke (it will make me feal better) but I know I wouldn't beable to handle it.
I don't wanna go to the store and buy a lightbulb to make a El-Cheapo-Lightbulb-Vape-Delux(TM)
but I still need to get stoned.
So I desided that I'm gunna try one of these cracker things.... (heated cracker and peanutbutter + a bowl of kush)

I'm gunna go make it right now in fact.
And I will report my findings back here in this thread in an hour.

[TheOMFGNinja]

So its been about 20 minutes since I ate it. The taste was actualy pretty good!
I didn't have natural peanut butter, but the stuff I used had plenty of fat in it, so I figured it would work well.

I used a pretty decent nug of my stash of kush, if I had smoked it, I would be blitzed. But I went ahead and ground it up and completely burried it in the peanut butter. so all the stuff was completely covered.

I toasted it for 20 minutes at 375 degrees in my toaster oven. and it was quite tastey when done.

Altho at this point, I do feal a minor high, its nothing that would compair to if I had smoked it. It has only been like 20 minutes tho, so maybe it takes more time?

Of course your results may vary (and I don't wanna turn anyone off from experimenting) but for the weed to stoned ration of peanutbutter crackers, I'm thus far not impressed.

[SirTokesAlot]

give it 30min

[HotBox420]

lol id like to see what hed say now lol..

[HitThatShit]

so what happend?

[HotBox420]

yea..lets have some feedback lol

[HitThatShit]

hes probably still passed out lol

I just wasted a joint......did I do something wrong?? I baked it at 375 for 20 minutes....

[HotBox420]

yea..you must have because it works if you do it right..ive done it plenty of times..

[2cesarewild]

IDK works fine, cept I notice the recipe doesn't mention anything as "necessary" but he adds ingredients to make it taste better... I would just use a lot of peanut butter to make sure there is enough oils to hold all that thc.
