man, every time i've made brownies, I've gotten really really high... I've only made them twice, but each time I used a half, ground it all up, threw it in a pan with some oil, sauteed the weed in the oil, then strained the oil through a cheese cloth. After that, I just followed the directions on the back of the brownie mix. Both times they came out perfect. I think the one thing that some people dont take into account is that when you ingest it, it takes much longer for the THC to enter your blood stream. I mean when you smoke it, you feel the effects almost immediately right? well, when you eat it, it takes at least an hour to even two hours to feel the effects.
