Fed up with microwaves

[tertairyEffect]

I've been lurking the forums for a while, but im still not sure everything about microwaves. Here are my experiences with them:

First try: took about 2 small buds (dunno g's) and cooked in microwave for 40 then 40 more, then 30 seconds, and ate it in cereal. Worked completely, quite an enjoyable experience.

Second try: Same procedure, but i nuked it for 1:30, and just swallowed with milk. Sadly it either did nothing, or made me throw up (i mightve just eaten something bad.) It mightve been worse because i ate it about 1 hr before bed.

Third try: Cut a hostess cupcake in half, microwaved for 1:30, and ate. No effects.

Fourth try: nuked for 1:30 and ate with cereal (different brand than first try though), no effect.

Fifth try: put thick slice of butter, 1 bud, then peanut butter on a ritz cracker, nuked for 1 minute, and it all melted and got all over the plate. Also smelled like i was burning food (not pot fortunately). refigreated till it cooled off (10 mins) then ate (tasted like shit). No effects.

Ive wasted too much weed to want to try this again. Can someone explain how i make this work? In case someone suggests an oven, i need to use a microwave because my parents will notice otherwise.

[Beeblebrox.420]

Is there some strange reason you refuse to try again what already apparently worked for you?

[tertairyEffect]

Well, i don't have the same brand of cereal, but aside from that i don't want to waste any more buds, so I'm hoping the forum community could help. (most other information i find about microwaving weed seems to be inaccurate.)

I still plan on trying my first method again, but I would like a more efficient way, and i kind of don't remember that night too well, so i cant be entirely sure what time and power i used on the microwave.

[tertairyEffect]

alright i tried my first procedure, with no luck. Could someone explain to me the ideal time for microwaving (i know it varies, but im talking general power level & time)

Im gonna try microwaving it in milk next, but again i dont wanna keep wasting all my ganja.

"JUST SMOKE IT YO!"

the 4 wisest words for you right now mah friend.

[xNoa]

dunno mate just cook it

[tertairyEffect]

I would love to, believe me, but my parents might be just a little bit suspicious if they smelled pot. Microwaves make the easiest coverupable smell.

[FunkyMonkey]

youre wasting your bud and if you have to worry about parents wait till youve got your own place or they go away.
The smell doesnt last that long and will be competely hidden if you cook something else after.
or find a pal who lives on their own and go in on a bag and make up a batch.

[tertairyEffect]

Ive got a friend who house oven we can use, but my parents are not gone for long enough to use an oven. Just tried putting a big slice of butter on top of a bud, microwaved for 20 secs, but its been 1.5 hrs so im guessing that one will fail.

[slipknotpsycho]

are you just sticking the bud in the microwave by itself? i know when cooking it the conventional way you need to cook the weed in a fatty food (butter is most commonly used) maybe try using a decent ammount of bud and butter in a bowl...microwave it for a minute or two (DONT LET IT BURN) AFTER IT MELTS and try eating a butter sandwhich...i know it don't sound too good but it's the only way i can think of while still using the microwave....and i wouldn't use full power since you wouldn't use full power to simmer something in the microwave (i am a pretty decent cook) i'd say around 50-60% power...remember don't start counting the two minutes until the butter has completely melted....afters it's all done strain the weed out as best as you can, and either stick it in the freezer or fridge (freezer might not make it go back to the correct form but it will be faster, you mentioned your parent's aren't gone for long).......but i have never done this so i can't be sure if all this will work...but theoretically it will work....but you try it at your own risk...well for good meausre you might not want to strain out the weed and while the butter is melting make sure to stir it every 10 or 15 seconds....becasue this whole theory goes out the door if the bud isn't actually submerged in the butter.....good luck....

[tertairyEffect]

alright im gonna try that, but i seem to be quite confused as to how microwaves and weed interact. Why cant you just say, put it on a cracker, put a slice of butter on the cracker, cook till the butter melts, and eat? why do you have to freeze it? i should probably understand these things before wasting much more of my stuff. If noone wants to explain it all, id be just as happy if i was pointed to a website/ebook that did.

ok well as aforewarning as stated before i've never really gotten into any of this just picked up shit here and there and have a pretty good understanding of this so you might want to cross refrence this but i will go on as i am an expert on the matter lol. the cracker theory won't work becasue you need to cook the weed in the butter because the butter holds the released (released by heat) active ingredients. becasue THC is fat soulable (butter being a very versatile tool in cooking becuase of all the food it can be used in/on and the fact it's mostly comprised of fat) it catches the active ingredients instead of just releasing the vaporized product into the air. as for the freezer you don't have to that's just to cut down the cooling time..you don't want to freeze it, just bring it back to a solidified state like it was before you melted it.

[tertairyEffect]

ok, so if you melt the butter first, but the bud in it, cool it down, and eat it on something (probably taste like shit but doesnt matter that much) it should work? That seems to corroborate with what you know.

[slipknotpsycho]

well you do need to cook it in the butter first, to release the active ingredients into the butter...but yes it shoudl work....simmering it in the butter in the microwave (once the butter starts to boil) for a couple of minutes should do it, or if you get the chance by stove atleast 10 minutes if not 20

[GraveReaper0]

Quit using the microwave. The bud has to simmer in the butter on low heat for at least 30 minutes to get all the THC out of it.
If you're a grower you can also throw in the leaves, simmer it, and filter through a cheese cloth. The butter will be greenish.
You can also just get a pan, heat it up, throw the bud on it and cook it. But this takes practice, it took me a couple months to do this without burning the bud. This is my preffered way of doing it, since the THC is already activated, you can put it into anything you want. After I cook mine I like to put it in ice cream.

[tertairyEffect]

alright, thanks both of you. First of all, im not sure how to get something to simmer in a microwave, but im going to try gravereapers idea as soon as a get an hour or two for cooking.

[slipknotpsycho]

yea stove method is best because it's the only one that i've ever seen that is reliable and simmer just simply is when something is boiling very lowly (not big bubbles but alooooooooooooooot of little ones and maybe some steam) but you asked about microwaves so i did my best to provide you wtih a method that would work, but i too would suggest just doing it on the stove....and simmering on a stove is a lot easier then in a microwave....with stove you wait til it boils then turn it on low and just make sure it dont' burn...wtih microwave you have to get it to boil stop it reduce the power drasticly (50% or less) and make sure it don't burn just by the smell it's putting of because you can't really stop it every three seconds and check it or it would never get done. good luck, and make sure you got a friend or something watching out a window or something so if you parents do pull up you can hide everything under your bed until you can do something else with it.

[Kid Dynamite]

fucking hell buddy just smoke that shit. Just go out somehwere for a walk or something.

[slipknotpsycho]

maybe he wants to cook it? because it is a diffrent high. maybe he can't smoke it for medical reasons? you know there are people out there that are so allergic to smoke that they end up coughing so bad they can't breathe when they get around ANY kinda smoke. i had a friend like that, he had to stand atleast 10 feet away when we were outside and i was smoking or he'd turn red from coughing so much....same thing happend wtih weed and just plain old barbecue smoke.....

[tertairyEffect]

thank you those were basically my reasons, mostly because im actually high for about an hour when i smoke it, but when i eat it it goes like 12 hours and i like the high better.

[tertairyEffect]

ehh i gave up on microwaves and tried simmering it with butter. ate it about 30 mins ago, so i dunno if i did it right yet.

[tertairyEffect]

hmm im dumb i boiled it all in water (the butter and the weed) and it didnt work, so now im gonna just try melting butter then boiling that.

[animalchin]

dude just put the butter in solid butter, weed covered by butter, and let it simmer TOGHETHER

[ADaisyChain]

Are you sure you're using enough weed?

[Fattie]

just smoke the fuckin herb jesus christ.

[RodZ]

If it didnt work the firts four times than just stop trying and smoke the weed.

[droopy420]

#1 did not nuke - had fun
#2 nuked - did not have fun and wasted weed
#3 nuked - wasted some more bud
#4 nuked - more more more
#5 nuked - it seems like you would have realized the problem by now?

[HighInJax]

haha wow, at least you finally stopped using the microwave. good luck on your next try...

Hey jackass.
Microwave.
Worked.

[Zentetsuken]

I've mircowaved firecrackers before and they worked just fine ...sometimes it's discouraging though, because I've had to wait up to 3 hours to feel anything. But, after 3 hours it hit me like a brick wall.

Additionally, some people are too paranoid and have strict ass parents so smoking is not the best idea for them. Think about it, even if he was to smoke it, he'd have a shitty paranoid high. Why do smokers get so angry when people inquire about cooking it? If they're asking questions regarding cooking, I'm sure they don't want to hear these comments.

Although, wasting weed 5 times is kinda silly ...

[puffpuffand away]

do wat slipknot said, it shood work...if ur makein a cake or somethin like that ,u really dont need 2 blend butter with the weed, just add it and mix it really good...but ,u also dont need 2 strain the weed from the butter...that weed iz az good az the butter...when i do make the butter, i spred a good amout of it and honey on my toast...thats tasty...

[nitros1er]
