My first experiment - questions

I was interested in cooking as opposed to smoking for taking my medecine. Having gone through the various great recipes that are hear I decided to try my first time butter , but with only 1 gram. Yes I know that is small and still I kept what I believe was a good ratio.

I used a double boiler which I won't again. Lot more maintenance along the way. I did read through the compensations regarding the use of double boilers. I used a candy thermometer a few times and saw the temp at 150-180F. That was of course the temp of ghee / pot mix. So I did think perhaps that was too low , maybe not cause it was like this for 7 hours. Nothing burned and from what I could tell there was no evaporation of the butter. The ghee was green though. I would say the final color was a light green, clearly a green but on the lighter shade no as dark as the picture in BobBong's tutorial.

So bottom line is I had no result really , though here and there very light feeling of maybe I am. Ya know but, no that won't work.

Now outside of here I asked two friends. They both agreed on some points that the strength varies amongst patents. I believe this mean is that there is some variables within people themselves that will have a reaction or not to it.

Reading through many of the posts here I'm not sure what to think. It seems some have similar experiences to mine, others profound experiences. Bottom line is it doesn't seem like it's very popular or commonly used form of ingestion, however listening to some experiences here it seems like it can be very strong and a more superior way. Making it doesn't seem like much of a hassle.

I think I have way more reading to do and more experimenting.
Any feedback about above please.

i think if you used more you would like it better, you proably already knew that, but its true, but there are some people who say they dont get high off eating weed, as far as i can tell when i drank some green dragon onetime i couldnt tell if i was high cause we had already smoked several bowls, but then again, i was already high, and drunk so i may have gotten higher than i thought, but i dont really care. I plan on making brownies or cookies soon and going to the national aquarium in baltimore for a smashing good time.

Well... you could try to make some green dragon... so you would know if the problem was with yourself or with the preparation of your butter, as green dragon is an usually more effective way of ingesting THC than edibles...
For making green dragon, i would suggest to you to use anything between 1-1.5x the amount you would smoke usually. Most of times this amount is enough to provide almost the same level of highness you would obtain by smoking it, for a much longer period (hours).
If you make it, remember to drink it with an empty stomach, as drinking/eating weed with a full stomach usually doesnt work.

I can't give too much advice apart from keep experimenting till you find something that works for you, make sure you tell us if you ever reach the 3rd dimension. The best recipe for me is firecrackers.
Would 1 gram get you high if you smoked it?

Honestly at this point I can't approach 1 gram at a time. While I have extensive experience being completely destroyed on this substance :hippy: i find at this point probably < .o4 of a gram something like that . Well my math maybe off. Let's see at this point it takes me 2 weeks to finish 1/8th of an z. I'm on a high amount of pain so that is spread out over 3-5 x a day depending on a day. Sometimes longer over then 2 weeks AND usually i'm at peace ;) for a few hours.

I think what it is quality.
I haven't taken a closer look at firecrackers. I guess I need to too , real soon ... thank you.

That is the thing , well there is a range of people here. Some describe it as a trip or outer space, others as nothing or relaxing. People i know tell me it's different for everyone, and it works but it's not better then smoking . i'll have to decide for myself
