is pot food better than smoke???

Obviously it's better FOR you, since you're not smoking anything. But I'm just wondering whether you personally like the experience better, and if you'd choose to consume it that way all the time if you had the option.

I like how the high comes on quickly from smoking, but I've never tried brownies (etc) before, and I have a feeling I'd like the food method better. One of my least favorite things about smoking is the body-load I get from a lot of pot, the chest-heaviness feeling, tiredness, and such.

Do brownies still make you tired afterwards? Do they still produce an unpleasant body-load at all (or other common, unwanted physical side effects, such as red eyes)? Also, would you say you lose more 'bang for your buck' by cooking your weed, and is that why people don't seem to do it as much? Usually people say to buy mids or lower quality stuff for brownies, but is it really a 'waste' to use high quality stuff, if the outer-space effects are what you're looking for?

I've heard brownies are a bit like "tripping on pot"--does that mean it's a lot longer/stronger/like being able to smoke a shitload of pot in a few seconds without the lung irritation?

Hmm, I'm not sure myself, but if Marinol is anything like eating pot, it's not so bad. It seems to be much more of a strong cerebral high than anything, and it does last for quite a few more hours than smoking. I also know from experience that enough pot really CAN cause you to trip, it happened to me when I took 5 Marinol one night (bad mistake.. lol). The trips aren't really anything major, you'll swear objects are floating and see cool color patterns. When it happened to me, people who were walking by in the house seemed to leave a trail of themselves, and I also thought I could see people's auras.

I know some people here are gonna shoot me for comparing marinol to actual pot, but all marinol is is synthetic THC anyway. The high from marinol isn't quite as natural as a good stone from smoking though. The effects are definitely much more gradual, it took about an hour or two to kick in. Anyways, if I ever do try actual pot foods I'll let you know more. Be sure to read other experiences if you really want to find out, there's plenty here on these boards as well as erowid.org. Hope this helps!

Eating THC makes you really stoned for a much longer time...

it has to do with simple chemistry...

if you smoke something it enters your blood stream immeadiately and also stays active in your bloodstream for a shorter period of time...

when you something it takes longer to enter your bloodstream but is more evenly spaced out over a longer period of time...

I have eaten brownies before where I can't leave the couch for hours on end because I am too stoned to move...I still feel high the next day...

:smokin:

I dont know which one i prefer they're both different and good in their own ways

smoking it is faster and easier

but eating it is good too :D

I am curious about this too im starting to want to do it more and more now so im going to soon im gonna slowly simmer about 3/4 cup of oil with about 1.5 gram of weed (it takes about .5 gram or less to gte me pretty high most of time cuz i practice tolerance control a lot ) and then ima throw it into the brownies and make em . I suggest u try em its supposed to be fun juss do it right or could be disappointed

hmm so even if the THC in your bloodstream is more evenly spaced out, does that mean there is still MORE in your bloodstream at any given time, since you feel a lot higher than you would if you were smoking instead? So therefore a single brownie must contain a lot more THC than the amount of bud that you would normally smoke.

Now it's starting to seem like you get MORE bang for your buck, since when you cook it none of the herb is destroyed by the heat of a lighter flame. Just like how vaporizing is supposed to be more economical, for the same reason.

lol, how relevant to the topic at hand. i bet parachuting high would be pretty nice. (or just parachuting).

Hey, for a conventional brownie box mix, is a bluntworth of mids good enough? And what happens if you put too much in? I was thinking that if I didn't have enough mids that I would just make a brownie for me and my friend using the butter recipe and the box recipe...help?

Eating cookies made w/pot butter has given me a stone i have never experianced in 20 years of smoking. I literally could not focus on a 32" t.v. that was 8' from me. I warned people about thesebefore giving them away. The chick at the coffey stand didnt listen and had to call in someone to finish her shift! Never added that much butter to a mix agian. Once I tamed it down, the high is quite nice. Perfect for plane rides across country.I brought 2 dozen w/me on delta flight and smiled all the way through security!

yes your eyes get just as read when you ingest cannabis. it has to do with the influx of oxygen that the thc allows to enter your blood, thus bloodier looking eyes. yes eating cannabis will result in physical fatigue at some point, perhaps even worse than having smoked. drink coffee or some'n

^ahh thanks for answering those questions

A good brownie and some good smoke are pretty close in enjoyability for me. Totally different highs though

I didnt like weed cookies at all, the high lasts too long and I got sick of it, woke up the next day still trippin balls and my head was aching after

I find that eating pot lasts longer and is more potent, but you need more because it is metabolized slower. I think that you have to cross a certain threshold amount-wise to feel anything at all.
If it is being absorbed into your system at a slower rate, it will need to remain active until the amount in your blood reaches "critical levels" where you actually feel high. Everything after that makes its longer and stronger, proportionatly...

Eating it is like taking a tylenol; you don't notice it hit you ever, but an hour down the road, you may look at yourself and decide "well, I am high, aren't I?" as opposed to taking a huge rip out of a bong and being hit with it "holy SHIT, i'm so fuckin high", you noe?

You see, not to sound like an asshole, but if you want a recipe, you start a new thread. You don't spam on other peoples threads.

Watch trailer park boys!




or just fallow the direction on a brownie mix box except with the butter.

Simmer the butter (or oil) in a saucepan with your pot for 6 minutes or so. About a quad (1/4 ounce) per 1/4 cup oil should be good, an 1/8 for lower dosage if needed.

Strain this and cook.
(I didnt strain the brownies the first time i ever did it but i did remove the stems. It wasnt to bad eating the pot in them and it seemed to add more pot flavor then usual.) ;)

It takes a while to make the butter, but you'll find that it is worth it. Good things come to those who wait :dance: It is a cheaper than smoking it i find also. Health benefits are obviously better, as you dont have to inhale lots of nasty toxins.

I only eat it now or use a vapouriser, as they are the safest way to use cannabis. You can buy the perfect recipe for making butter on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

I hope this is of use to you all - -

Peace

:D Honestly i think its ur own opinion.... I honestly will never switch to eating it because i enjoy the nice skimpy...decent...fat ass blunt and any size blunt with a homie.... nothing like it.... p3ac3 :thumbsup:

Smoking converts about 70% THC - the rest is wasted/burned.

Eating it doesn't do this, not sure about the efficiency but I would guess it to be higher so long as the THC is in a good state to be metabolised and you don't do anything lame like throw up ;)

I would try making 1 brownie/cookie with the same amount that you smoke in a good session - then you will know.

I alway did this with Hash though - so no real need to make butter :)
