Are edibles/teas/etc. more efficient than smoking?

[Nailhead]

hmm, well I think I'll wait to do any cooking until I start growing my own stuff, because it'd cost me way too much right now. I'd love one of those volcano vaporizers but I think a decent bong will tide me over for a while....I'm just getting sick of my pipe really fast!

Based on what I've read on this site, 1 gram of weed will get the average person high for 6-10 hours if eaten in brownies or drunk in pot chocolate or whatnot.

I'm an easybake, but at a bowl a day, 1 gram will last me a week and a half - that's over 20 hours of being high. That's much better value from where I'm standing.

yea I'm a bowl a day here too, would go 2 or 3 bowls a day but I can't be high at my work. I'm glad I'm such a lightweight, this last 8th ran me $75 bucks, if I went through as much as some of you guys here I couldn't afford to NOT grow my own.

Well damn, I hope I stay a lightweight for some time lol

From what your saying about how much you use, you should try making some sort of edible.

Everyone's different, and if you make it right, cooking can be pretty efficient.

Try a firecracker with a bowl's worth of weed (.25 g)

If you don't know what a firecracker is follow this site

The first time I got stoned I used .25g of weed and I was way too high for about 12 hours.

Now I would only ever start out with .1 g of weed because I have no tolerance.

Use the same amount you would smoke into a firecracker (oven and natural peanut butter) and compare for yourself.

I was thinking about making those but it sounds disgusting. I know some people say they like the taste, but I personally can't imagine cooked peanut butter tasting good lol.

What about tea? All the tea recipes seem to ask for a lot of weed, and I couldn't tell how much that was supposed to make. I might just take one of those recipes and use a bowls worth rather than what they ask for and see what happens

Eating/drinking cannabis is wasteful... once i did some green dragon, an amount enough for one dose (weed worth of 1.5 joint), but then thought better and, instead drink this green dragon, i evaporated the alcohol and made hash oil. The amount of hash oil was enough for some 15 times smoking... Since that day i never cooked/drinked with weed again, cause ive realized the great waste it would be.

I dont believe weed teas can be effective... the THC is not water soluble, so all the THC will remain in the weed, and you will be drinking only weed-flavored water... you must use something containing fats (milk, peanut butter, cheese, etc) which dissolve the THC, or another suitable solvent, as alcohol in the green dragon.

Ive never seen a pot tea recipe that didnt have milk of some form in it.

when cannabis is ingested the THC is metabolized by an enzyme in the liver --THC becomes a stronger molecule which is why eating marijuana is much more powerful than smoking it. when you smoke marijuana something like 1/2 of the THC is destroied by the direct flame--it also goes to the lungs, directly into the blood so it's not metabolized in the liver.

Impossible a bowl a day and a gram lasting a week and a half? I could never do that... I smoke around a couple grams a day sometimes only 1 if i just pack bowls but I like smoking out of blunts

I cook firecrackers at 320F for 20 minutes. It tastes like a peanut butter cracker sandwich. Cooking doesn't alter the taste except to give it a slight roasted flavor. I think most people just overcook them, and those are the ones that taste bad.
