I've got an awesome weekend planned with 7 good friends who have never smoked or tripped at ALL.Each one of them is interested in trying weed ,although they dislike smoking.
Sooooo,I thought I could make some nice firecrackers... Good or bad idea? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I think ill make a couple and whoever feels like having 1 or 2 can feel free,no pressure at all.
I'm also going to throw on massive attack or something along those lines and watch them space out lol.

I don't think you will get very good results, I never do and especially not the first time since your body doesn't recognize the thc. Tell them weed smoke is not like cigarette smoke and to stop being pussies if they really want to get high, even then they will have to smoke a lot more than it would take you to get high.

Id say, make each cracker a 1\2 gram and you will be golden :-) . The key for new people is to eliminate all anxiety. Anxiety is always the deciding factor for first timers enjoying it, or deciding its absolutely horrible. They need to be able to relax and forget about outside shit.

I know how to cook it correctly and it doesn't work, a half gram will do nothing for the first time.

what are you talking about?
our brains have natural receptors that know what THC is.
not everyone doesnt get high on their first time, and not everyone needs tons of weed to get high their first time.
also, .5g definitely does something if done correctly with some people so do not say that it doesnt work just because it didnt for you.

Do you guys have any idea how much a pinch of finely ground weed is? .25g?
With my previous firecrackers I added two pinches to each cracker and it really blew my mind.I ate 4 and woke up high the next morning lol.

A pinch isn't going to cut it, i'm telling you. You need at LEAST a gram per person, that doesn't even give me any effects and if they have never smoked they will need a lot more than you think to get high.

I know .5 messed up a friend of mine that has smoked only one or two times. He was on the ground the whole night, then got up after 7 hours and barfed all his dinner. It kept my girlfriend on the bed all night too, I woke up a little high the next morning as well. I think us smoking a bowl induced the effects because we didn't feel anything up to that point, or maybe it was just coincidence?

Just slip a couple tabs into the firecracker after its cooked, before they consume. Should probably notice some effects....

The first time I ever "did weed" at all was by eating a brownie. It was an amazing high, and it was the best first experience with my favorite drug I could possibly have had.
I don't know about everyone, but it seems to me like taking the weed in edibles is the best way to introduce yourself to it... rather than having a fleeting, unpredictable high that is tempered by the feeling of blown-out lungs, you get hours on end of mellow, relaxed, psychedelic stonedness.
The not-getting-stoned-the-first-time thing is, I think, due more to the action of smoking it than to the action of weed itself. When you've never smoked anything before, you can't just casually smoke some weed and then put it aside; it's a shocking first-time experience to funnel dense, hot, acrid smoke directly into your lungs. It's very distracting from the actual mental effects. Edibles don't have this problem. I can tell you I barely felt anything the first time I smoked it, and that was after an amazing trip from eating an amount that barely hits me now.
One caveat: be very, very careful about dosage. I smoke every day now, and when I eat one of those brownies (like the first one I had that blew the top of my head off and was a perfect intro to psychedelics), I barely feel anything from them. What will get you satisfyingly stoned will probably be overwhelming to a first-timer, even moreso with edibles than with smokables.

.5 is a fine amount for firecrackers, i know a friend who ate some cookies with X amount of pot in them, the first time he tried pot, and it was obviously way too much, and turned out to create a lot of anxiety, he smoked pot now, but it took him a while after that first try to come back to it.
personally i would recommend smoking, as it's WAY easier to dose to first timers, toke a bit, feel it out, toke some more, it's all instant, and comes on fast, so there is no anxious buildup. i would say that smoking would be a way easier and reliable way to test the waters.
ideally a vaporizer would work the best, but if you don't own an electric one, the technique for the ghetto glass ones can be a bit advanced for a first time smoker.
perhaps do both, and smoke some pot first, see if they dig it, then eat some later, and smoke some more, a full pot extravaganza!
man, i love pot.

One method i have always found will get first timers high is to use a decent sized bong. Not a little hand held acrylic but i mean i nice sized glass bong. (could be any material really but i just love glass bongs)
The main problem is that people don't know how to get the smoke all the way down into their lungs their first time. They end up not really inhaling, just keeping it in their mouth and throat. The bong will usually eliminate this problem.
When you clear a bong and take in a bit of plain air after the hit it really brings the smoke home. The thing you have to worry about though is people coughing while taking a hit and blowing bong water up through bowl and onto the weed. Just have them take average/small rips and make sure to clear it, if they do that a couple times they will definately be high.

The thing is I want it all to look as "non-druglike" as possible.I have found that more people will actually experiment with weed by eating rather than smoking.
I guess they feel better about eating a cookie or something than actually smoking a joint.I will try and dose each cracker with .5g and let them eat 1 firecracker then decide later on if they need/want more.
