Cannabis firecrackers - how many crackers do you use?

How many crackers do you recommend for making firecrackers? 3 firecrackers (eg: 6 crackers) I also read that you should put the cannabis in a oven for 10-15 mins at 250 degrees to convert the inactive alkaloids into active thc. I have only made one successful firecracker. Because I am allergic to peanut butter I use cheese wiz. I preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the crackers for 15 mins with tin foil wrapped in it because I find that the cheese doesnt get all messy and the crackers doesnt break apart on me. For me I find its hard to determine whats the perfect temperature to use when making firecrackers because everyone states different temperature rates. The other day tho I made some firecrackers with 2 crackers but the effects were mild. My chest felt great but the head high was not intense. Maybe I should try eating more. How many crackers do you guys make when making the firecrackers. I think 2 isnt enough...:microwave:

The key to good firecrackers (or indeed any edibles) is to to bind the THC content in the weed to the fat molecules in the cheese (or nutella, butter, etc).

You'll get far better results if you grind up the weed to a fine powder and mix it thoroughly with a small amount of butter/margarine, then put it in between the cheese, as it will help 'trap' THC in the cracker and stop excessive loss due to evaporation/vaporization.

15 minutes is WAY to short a time to extract anything like a decent percentage amount of the THC present, instead cook at a much lower temperature for longer. The results will be significantly stronger, with much smaller quantities of weed.

Respect :thumbsup: but........

Your saying that 15 mins is way to short for extraction but how is it so if you set the heating temperature to a high rate (350 degrees) wouldnt it be logical as well if you heat it at a high temperature the cooking time will be less, and vice versa if your cooking at a low temp, then the cooking time will be longer?

I've only made one successful cracker to be honest lol. At the time I set it at 320 and I honestly did not track the amount of mins I kept it in the oven but it was longer than 25 mins. I've tried at 320 for 20 mins before and it didnt work for me as well as 300 for 20 mins and that as well didnt work. Maybe you should suggest the heating temperature and the (x) amount of mins to keep it in the oven. How many crackers do you recommend using as well? I was thinking at least 3 or more crackers and a gram worth or close to a gram of cannabis.

Somethings that I gathered from a different site
Green Dragon Recipes (Marijuana Drink)

----------------------------------------
Some ovens vary in temperature range from the actual number listed on the dial. If you overheat the weed, then you'll lose all the THC into the air, and you'll probably get high from opening the oven door. For this reason, you may want to first test the temperature cycle of the oven using a thermometer. Be sure to remove the red plastic piece from the top of the thermometer so it doesn't melt inside the oven. THC vaporizes at 392 �F, so be sure the thermometer never exceeds 350 �F. Alternatively, you can use a lower temperature and longer period of time, such as 200 �F for 20 minutes (pre-heat first). This eliminates the possibility of being too hot (vaporization of THC and cannabinoids) or too cold (THCA will not get you high). Also, some of the other cannabinoids vaporize at temperatures as low as 260 �F, so using a lower baking temperature will give a better and more natural high than THC alone.
-----------------------------------------

If this is the case then why would anyone make the firecrackers anywhere more than 200 degrees? I did not honestly know that the more heat destroys the THC. So how much heat can you use till the point that your destroying the THC? Any lower than 200 degrees is fine for cooking with cannabis?

But? . . Come on admit it . . . you didn't read it all did you? lol. The answers are all there.
Don't worry, you're not the only one who didn't bother (Over 400 views and only 4 comments, after all that hard work too!).

To quote a quick extract from the guide (which also picks up from your last post),
'THC evaporates/vaporises at high temperatures (around 140 centigrade, 285 degrees fahrenheit ).

If you want a quick effective solution (without following the tutorial I created): . . .

Just grind up 1.5/2 grams of half decent weed to a fine grain, toss it into a small oven proof dish along with a tablespoon of butter (preferably 'clarified', read the guide as to why), stir it up and put it in your oven (temperature set to between 100 to 140 degrees centigrade/ 212 to 285 fahrenheit) and leave for a couple of hours (or longer).

It won't smell anywhere near as much as a firecracker (if it does your temperature is too high and you're losing THC), and it'll be an order of magnitude stronger than even the best firecracker. When you take it out wait for it to cool and then either:

Spread it on toast, (it won't taste great though) or
mix it with peanut butter/nutella (no need to heat it again, it's already activated and highly potent).
Stir it into anything your cooking with (as long as it doesn't need to be heated over 140 degrees centigrade/285 fahrenheit or again you'll lose THC).

It'll make enough for 4 powerful (6 to eight hour) hits.

Enjoy!

p.s. any rep or comments gratefully received lol

Nice....

I dont have any clarified cheese but I will take it into consideration in getting some. And yes I did read the post you made actually. I'll try this when I got some free time. I'll just leave it in the oven for like 3 hrs.

Thanks a lot by the way.... this maybe easier than making the firecrackers

It's clarified butter, not cheese (The saturated fat content is excellent for absorbing the THC when simmering in butter, and then releasing it into the blood stream once eaten).

You can use ordinary butter if you don't have clarified (around 60 to 70 percent saturated fat content), it's just not quite as efficient (but it'll still blow your tits off compared to a regular firecracker).

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Alright so because all I had with me was cheese wiz I used 2 and a half tablespoons of it and grinded 1 gram or so on the cheese wiz. the grinded up weed was on the cheese wiz and because that stuff is thick I didnt really need to stir it up too much so I putted the oven proof dish with the cheese wiz and weed into the oven and from what you stated I preheated the oven to 285 degrees. I started to smell it after a few mins so I reduced the temperature to 230 degrees. The smell faded away and I waited 2 hrs. The cheese was all baked up and I noticed that the gram of weed I sprinkled on the cheese was gone. I didnt even bother spread it on crackers cause it didnt even look good enough to spread it on the cracker. I just ate a piece of the heated up cheese so I'll wait and see what happens but I honestly doubt this is going to work to be honest. Not sure if its because I didnt use the clarified butter or because I heated it too much and possiblity lost some THC. I hope it works tho...

I used 4 Crackers with about a bowls worth on each ( i used saltines and jiffys pb ) i ate them at 11:00PM the one time, went to bed around 3AM. Woke up at 7AM and my eyes were still bright red and i was still high when i went to school. 4 Should be good, depending on the weed.

Yes..... it worked!!!

I ate it around 12 ish and the high came up around 3:00pm and didnt finish till 11pm. Basically I put in 3 tablespoons of cheese wiz since Im allergic to peanuts and I grinded 1 gram of weed right on the cheese wiz. Because the weed got stuck to the sticky cheese sauce I didnt bother stir up anything and I putted in right in the preheated oven which was set to 285 degrees. After I a few mins the area started to smell so I turned down the temperature to 230 degrees F and waited 2 hours (the smell faded away after a few mins when I reduced the temperature). After i removed the dish after the second hr, The cheese became all brown, thick, mocky and burnt. The cheese was not melted great enough to spread on crackers so after it cooled off I just ate the piece of the cheese and could taste the weed in it. I doubted the effects would kick in so I thought about lighting up a spliff then all of the sudden the effects came on slowly. I took the cheese with me and broke it up and placed it in my sandwich bag. I ate most of it during my break and I got so ripped that I thought I was going to pass out. I kept getting really sticky dry mouth, my heart was racing fast, my eyes where a bit red, I had a heavy head and body buzz, I was in a different zone. Ingesting cannabis is really intense, I would not do this everyday, just once in awhile. My high came getting stronger and stronger it was a lil overwhelming! I actually thought I was going to faint lol

Anyways I will try to do this method again sometime. This time I will preheat the oven to at least 200-230 degrees F and heat up the cheese wiz with a gram of grinded up powder form of weed in the oven for 2-3 hours. I will like to be able to spread the cheese on the crackers and other foods and not experience a ugly looking cheese spread so I will be careful of the temperature I set it to next time.

lol mseerob..... that story is familiar to mee mon.

and to anyone else out there who has eaten weed. when you eat it, and it really works.... you get so ripped you think you might want to go to the hospital. my poor dad ate some of my brownies by mistake, and he called the paramedics to help him.

mseeroob..... if you want a simple way to eat cannabis, simply coat your cannabis with with olive oil, enough so all the weed is coated and broken up, then place it on your stove in a pan for like 5 minutes on medium. when you see the weed go form green to brown, take it off the stove.

then just eat the slighly brown weed olive oil mixture and it will get you high in the same way you described.

eating cannabis is really amazing.
