Edible Question

[tacman7]

I've been making brownies for a few months now. I used to use 8 grams of a good shake I get but then moved that up to 16 grams, and now we have a better quality shake so they're pretty strong brownies. I just put the weed in a coffee grinder which makes it super fine, then mix in a box of brownies.

Works fine.

What's with butters and oils?

One recipe called for 4 ounces... I figured this oil thing is for people who have a lot of pot!

But does it enhance the high? or filter out the bad stuff or something?

Or a way to make things you don't want to be green and gritty?

Thanks

I use to do it the same way as you! It is a good way to extract the thc-etc. from the cannabis and freeze it, etc. The heat and oil do a better job of extraction. I have not experimented with tossing in shake vs. budder! Will be interesting if anyone has. Shake seems more potent cooked. Some re-use pot from vape's for cooking, as well. Since you are doubling the amount in your pot, you may want to try it in some oil and see if there is a difference.

The budder can be used for more than brownies. You can spread it on toast like jelly and go wild with your imagnination. I bought some once, and accidently stuck my finger in my mouth and was high from it! The budder, to me, is more potent than just putting it in the mix and baking.

A lot of people here do medibles and will surely chime in, as time goes on! prNov-22-2011 02:56 #6 (http://boards.cannabis.com/recipes/199697-potent-easy-make-hard-canna-candy.html#post2214637)

Just a tip... you'd multiply the number of doses you get by at least three, but up to five times, by infusing your glandular material with oil first. http://boards.cannabis.com/images/smilies/smile.png

Your body has a tough time absorbing cannabinoids all on their own without an oil coating to lubricate them, even if the hash has been activated or decarbed, and even if it's a concentrate and sticky or gooey. Nine grams of even low-grade hash should provide about 90 reasonably powerful doses if it's processed good enough.. when made with oil not only can one dose become four or five, but the experience will be much more pronounced from the smaller amount of material, and much longer-lasting (ie., you have the potential of remaining medicated until/through the following day).
Just eating glandular material as it is with sugar, and without using a canna oil in your candies, or in the case of other edibles/drinkables, a glycerin or alcohol tincture, most of your potency goes in one end when you eat it and right out the other, without even being absorbed. Try coconut oil and hash in the oven for a few hours at 220 f. Your coconut hash oil is solid at room temp, and liquid at 78+ f, it's perfect for candy, and great for absorption of cannabinoids!
