Damn! Pot Hot choc. didn't work!

Hey,

Gonna try and write this quick, I g2 smoke before parents get home and jump in the shower lol.

Ok so a few days ago me and a friend discovered a place in Toronto that sells marijuana drinks/edibles (edibles only for 2+month members though). Anyway I got the hot chocolate and it was pretty cool. Pretty huge mug, started to feel it at around 40 min, was sure of it by 50 min, and then I was high for a good 5 hours. I know it was weed in the drink cause I tasted it and you could also sometimes see very tiny pieces in the drink.

SO. Last night me and some friends decided to try our own! We found a recipe on the internet. Simple: milk (we used 2%), 3/4 teaspoon chopped weed (we used a full teaspoon) PER mug, and "simmer" for 15 minutes. Then add chocolate sauce or instant cocoa or whatever.

So we chopped up 3 teaspoons for 3 people, threw it in a pot along with 3 mugs' worth of milk. We actually added the chocolate from the beginning. We also added some butter (salted) but not much, like maybe 2 spoons. We weren't exactly sure what simmering means, but for most of the cooking process there was no bubbles and no major bubbling of the whole milk. Toward the end we turned up the heat a bit just in case and it started to bubble a bit for 5 minutes or so. The whole time it was on the stove was probably around 25 minutes.

BUT it didn't work! 3 people didn't feel it. 2 of us hadn't eaten for 3 hours, the other for 5 hours! What did we do wrong!?

 

probably should have just let the weed and the butter simmer alone, and not for so long...
Don't know what else to tell you...
I've made weed Apple Cider before using the same method, and I think that worked... Unfortunately I was also smokeing it at that time...

You're not talking about the HBC, are you? I didn't think they did that.

 

You mean the place I bought the successful hot chocolate? No...don't even know what HBC is.

 

First off, you didn't eat for 3 to 5 hours. You need to eat a good sized meal when taking edibles. If you don't, your digestive system won't be running and the THC will run right through you.

 

Oh, and also try cooking the weed in heavy cream instead of milk then adding it to the hot cocoa. Whole milk only has around 4% fat.

 

Well we actually only used 2% milk.

But ... the thing about it going right through you if you don't eat doesn't make sense... On an empty stomach if you ingest something it should pass into your small intestine quickly as the stomach sees there isn't much to digest (and it's in the small intestine that most of the absorption takes place.) Also when I got it from the place selling hot chocolate I also hadn't eaten for at least 3 hours.

 

Kensington.. in Toronto.

 

While I'm not exactly sure how the digestive system works, I do know the THC must be actively broken down in order to release and circulate to your brain and if your stomach's not already digesting it seems to not get broken down at all. This correlates with a post by StonerBill, if I'm not mistaken, perhaps he knows a little more about it than I do.

 

Only place I know in Kensington is Roach-o-Rama and yea they don't serve weed, they just have a patio out back to smoke.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

 

So then where did you get it from Flav? I may need to pay this place a visit.

 

Man, I probably shouldn't say since they don't advertise for that... they advertise various "organic" teas and drinks and such. It's basically a caffee. Wouldn't want them getting busted cause some cop read this on a forum although most cops probably know about the place...

 

you have a good sig dude.

 

OH damn, I didn't notice what that was until now.
