Healthy edibles

Recently I decided to start eating my weed instead of smoking, for health reasons.. but now my tolerance has increased to the point where the amount of butter I have to eat to get high is silly, not the kind of thing I want to be doing daily. As far as I know this stuff is only soluble in fat and alcohol, so does this mean I have to either become fat or a drunk to make this plan work?

I don't know about edibles, but if you don't want to smoke why not Vape? I guess you probably have a reason though?

I hate the break the news to you, but edibles are actually not more healthy than smoking it. Smoking it only decreases lung performance by a negligible 3% temporarily. It doesn't damage your lungs like tobacco does.
THC is relatively harmless. It stays in your body in a way that will effect your short term memory for about 30 days, but is detectable up to 90 days.
When you eat it instead, the THC is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC in the liver, which is more potent. This is why edibles are clearly more effective for getting a huge high. On the other hand, this chemical can damage your liver from high dosages, and repeated use (more than once a week). The 11-hydroxy-THC is better for pain relief or to be used as a sedative.
In the end, the smoking will be more easy on your body.

When I said health reasons that was mostly because I put tobacco in my joints and I dont think I can quit tobacco without quitting weed at the same time. Stargate, that sucks, I do have a vapourizer but it's an old one, I might look into more recent tehnolgy.

i would suggest making a coconut oil extraction of your buds. Coconut oil has lots of healthy faats and is good for you.
Then just substitue coconut oil for butter. For example, make a whole grain pasta with shrimp and the coconut bud oil. Make a weed shrimp scampi.
Or have some organic oatmeal cookies with coconut bud oil. Maybe bake some salmon in some coconut bud oil and rub some tasty bread crumbs on it, eeat with wild rice 
I would aim for full meals rather than the usual dessert treats that weed edibles are usually made into.

Yeah I just noticed the coconut thing on that link posted above. Sounds promising, so far I've mostly just been melting the butter into tea and drinking it, but solid food I've noticed seems to work better for some reason.

In the realm of vaporizers, I have only smoked weed maybe 2 or 3 times since buying my vape (arizer solo, which I quite like. Pax is also pretty good) but I've been vaping loads. In my case at least, I prefer to vape by a big margin. Also you use way less weed. Like maybe 1/4 of the amount one would smoke

I used to work in a lab (granted, we tested on rats), researching addiction, and how to break it. By what you said, I get the impression that you wish to quit nicotine. The rats were given dosages adjusted to their weight, unlike those idiotic labs that give human doses to rats. Don't worry, they all ended the tests weened off the substances, and went to good loving homes.
We found that nicotine and alcohol promote each other in the brain. If you are a regular drinker, I would suggest laying off that for a while as well, as you try to fight the nicotine. Of course, if you are a regular drinker, don't just all out drop it. I'm sure the prohibition of alcohol will show you that dropping it fully is a bad idea.
Due to the habitual side of the addiction (the act of smoking), it would actually be better for you to keep smoking while you try to quit, just putting a little less tobacco into your joints every week. Not every day. Every day would be too fast, and you will just end up relapsing.
If you're trying to quit nicotine, I hope this information helps.

I'm very fond of my vapir2 vaporizer. It's not that expensive and it has lasted me for years. Also it does save you loads of weed usage versus burning weed.
Regarding the cutting in of tobacco with weed. I'm given to understand that's pretty common across the pond for helping the burn and for saving money by not using or wasting weed. If you are looking to cut your weed with something maybe consider Lion's Tail. I only just discovered how marvelous it is in a vape. I hear blue lotus is nice for a cut in also. Keep in mind I'm a vaper not a burner anymore.

salmon is extreemly healthy.
also you can make cannabis bacon, burgers, icecream and other delicious ways ot get fat and high; the same person in this video has videos on that.
also
maybe getting fat could help your marraige depending on if your male or female.
also i don't think i think the way most men think because i like people for who they are. just a disclaimer.
