so i got a cheap ounce of mids and i figure what better to do than make brownies. do you guys think half an ounce will be sufficient for a typical 12x24" baking sheet or whatever it is? i figure we'll divide it up into either 6 or 8 servings so they'll be pretty big. i just dont want to throw in half an ounce and feel nothing from it, waste o money. any suggestions? i was hoping to use the other half for blunts. so with 14 grams in half an ounce, divided by 6 brownies, that would be like 2.2 grams per brownie...
Well, you really don't need to focus on how many brownies you make, just how much you put in. Say you have 4 people... just divide the brownies by four. As long as theres an ounce in it, it wouldn't matter if you end up with two brownies per person or four. BTW 2.2 grams per brownie will get you pretty stoned.
thanks guys, im not sure how many people are going to want brownies so i want to make sure there potent enough if say 8 people want them, im hoping less than 6 people want them so i have left overs. how long do you think brownies will last for? probably longer if i freeze them, think they lose potency over time?
throwing ground up weed in the batter works like a charm, but a lot of people don't like it for some reason. i dont mind it at all, and it hits me plenty hard, i don't buy into the claim that making butter or something makes it work better or gets you more stoned. i like to just throw in the weed and some chopped walnuts or something
also, 2.2g is a good, strong dose of mids, for me anyway. it should definitely be 420 worthy, especially if you don't smoke strong herb constantly
im going with oil the reason people make butter/oil is because when you cook it on the stove in the oil, the fat in the oil/butter absorbs the THC. if you just throw the weed into the batter your not extracting nearly as much THC. therefor if you use cannibutter, you'll have stronger brownies. more bang for your buck.
i know why people do it. i maintain that it gets you no higher at all. the gastric juices are enough to destroy the plant matter and extracting the THC prior to eating is totally unnecessary in terms of effectiveness, because it all ends up as the same gastric slop anyway. so long as the weed is well ground, you'll get everything out of it.
seriously? you're quoting me saying how i do something, and asking me if thats how i do it? how stoned are you?
herb will bind better with fats and alcohols and be fully processed by your body. heat helps release the THC so it can be absorbed. if you throw it in the brownie mix it will still bind with the oil, aided by the heat of the oven. it's still the same process. except that you would still have all the weed (buds, leaves, and STEMS) in the brownies. that's why people don't like to just throw it in the mix. you can feel every little stem and it sucks to try and chew them. i find it to be really gross - can't enjoy a brownie that way. why make it unpleasant when you can make it pleasant? cheese cloth works really well to get all the weed strained out.
