Eating Pot Overrated?
    #21698293 - 05/19/15 12:48 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Every time I have tried edibles, ranging from medical grade to my own batches, it seems to be a waste. Candies, brownies, cookies, even tinctures.

For instance, I can eat a gram to 2 grams in an edible and around me that's around $30 dollars.

My ex's gf used to provie me with some really top quality because he grows in a legal state. His stuff is tested each year and ranged from 20-24.5% thc content. I had a 2 gram brownie of his while I was drinking one day. Ya, it felt good... but if I smoked even 0.8 g of that I would have been so much more high overall that night. I don't know why anyone cooks.

Or I can just smoke 2 times over 6 hours and have like 0.5 grams and be just as high.

I don't understand, is eating it supposed to be so much weaker gram for gram? I don't see the preference beyond the fact that hot smoke is bad for the lungs function.

In terms of getting high though, I've eaten upwards of 5 grams of some OG kush from a dispensary rated around 22% thc and I wish I just smoked it.

I mean to me it's like why spend MORE money for a LESSER high?

That's like buying a bottle of vodka, only to pour out a 1/3 and then start drinking.

edibles are really only good like if you did a bunch of drugs the night before and you just wanna be a lazy fuck and not do shit all day


it sucks when edibles straight up just taste good like a cookie or brownie cuz you find yourself eating more not to get higher, but cuz its a cookie lol. then u just get stupid high and pass out and wake up the next day remembering like nothing

See I've never gotten there though. Do I have to eat like 7 grams of good quality stuff to pass out?

I've never passed out from edibles. I've never tripped from edibles, though I've had trippy type experiences from high doses smoked.

I just wanna know why people do it!

I can see doing it after a long night out... but still, why spend MORE money getting LESS high? 1 gram in an edible is not going to get you as high as smoking 1 gram over several hours, at least IME

You may be like me. I don't get high from edibles... like.. at all.
I've eaten the most dankest edibles, that people say one HALF of it makes them blazed as fuck for like 10 hr straight.. I will eat THREE or FOUR and barely catch a buzz.
It happens with every edible I try. Most I get is like... a very light body buzz. Doesn't really matter how dank it is or how much I eat.
I talk to other people that eat the same edibles, and they get completely and utterly fried for hours and hours off the same stuff I eat. I don't understand it.
But I've just determined that edibles are an utter waste of weed for me. I can smoke a bowl and get plenty high. I can eat a tray of brownies and get almost nothing.
Eating it is just a waste of weed. Maybe you are a freak like me.. have my metabolism, or liver or whatever the fuck it is.

Eating is definitely a different high than smoking it.. it's more of a body high and it lasts way longer. I get a slight body high, but I've never been "fucked up" off eating it like people talk about and I've eaten a FUCKING LOT. I want to melt into the couch and not wake up for 12 hours, but that never happens when eating it ever. I get a super light buzz and can still function perfectly and it doesn't last for shit. I smoke the shit so I don't waste it.

Every individual has a unique chemistry.  Edibles have very little effect on me as well. Except for this time this chick I knew in Chicago baked some brownies, and they were really small, and I only ate 1 and later felt like I had ingested mushrooms or sumptin similar to get me straight trippin'.  I later asked her what she did different.  She said she just followed the instructions.  I think she even used schwag, to make it even more confusing.....

Yeah, man. I've had homies on their ass from edibles we've made, but I've only really felt like that once and I don't get all these weird hallucinations and shit. I actually feel quite level headed and I feel good, but I don't get this intense high everyone speaks of.

How do you all compare the same weight in edibles to the smoking of it?

And by that, i'm talking about compensating for duration. Ya, eating them lasts longer but smoking a gram over 10 hours vs eating 1 gram in a cookie cooked perfectly, what's your preference?

It might also have to do with tolerance.  Eating edibles hit me hard after taking breaks.  Hardly noticeable if smoking a lot.

If you want, I could explain how to make ones that will work.. its kinda involved and a lot more appealing if you have unlimited weed supplies.

The short version is- with butter you fill a crockpot up with water and ground up tweed with just a little butter. That makes super strong butter.
The next step is to make bho at 180 to 190 degrees and mix that with a small amount of butter or even better, coconut oil.

PS- I can eat stacks of weed food from dispensaries with no effect too.

Yep... same. the only time I get super baked out from edibles is by either eating a retarded amount of edibles or not having a tolerance. I feel like edibles are a waste of weed :tongue:

I'm the same way.

I've never had medical grade edibles. But I've had several friends give me
something they made (claiming it's all kinds of potent, and to only eat half)...
And I'm always left with the feeling "damn, i'm glad I didn't pay for that"

Maybe taking a short break from smoking, and THEN trying an edible would work.
Maybe the tolerance from years of tokage is the reason edibles aren't working for some.

no one really mention's decarb'ing oil or bud before infusing in fats. there are quite a few studies on it now.

http://www.hightimes.com/read/edibles-scoop-decarboxylation

http://www.thestonerscookbook.com/article/2014/06/27/decarboxylate-your-weed-for-the-full-psychoactive-effect/

if you don't decarb the oil/bud, the inactive form of THC doesn't turn into active THC. When you smoke or vape, you turn it all into active THC once it gets hit with heat. But with making edibles you need to pre-heat the material BEFORE you put it in butter or coconut oil. The high times one says researchers found it best to decarb at "230F for 110 minutes" to get it all evenly heated, and the stonerscookbook article has almost too detailed of a chart.
