My second experience with brownies

[chickenmaster]

After making a batch of weed brownies over spring break (detailed here: http://forum.grasscity.com/showthrea...574#post577574), and being extremely happy with them, I decided to make more a couple weeks ago, this time using boxed instant brownies. I'm going to detail the baking process so that you guys can try it out if you want to.

Making them:

First, I bought a 1/2 oz of low quality weed (about $35), which is all I can afford to smoke anyway, so it doesn't matter. But even if i could afford it, I've read all over the internet that it's not worth it, and that higher quality weed is better saved for smoking. I broke up all the weed and pulled out the seeds and stems, just like smoking.

Last time, i made brownies from scratch because i made cannabutter, and most box brownies call for oil. This time i decided to try it with oil. The box called for a 1/2 cup of oil. Last time i used a double boiler, but this time i was at my best friend's apartment, and he only had one pot. So i put the oil and the weed into a glass jar, which i then put into the pot full of water on the stove. I let the water boil for about an hour, going over and swirling the jar of oil and weed occasionally.

Then, we had to seperate out the weed. I used a coffee filter with pin holes poked in it just like last time, however it didn't work as well with oil as it did with butter. The oil was thicker and barely leaked through the filter. I tried squeezing the filter tighter to get the oil to go through faster, but that just managed to break the filter and some weed fell into the bowl with the clean oil. We did the best we could with the filter, and it took probably 5-10 minutes to get it all out.

Then, we just followed the instructions on the back of the instant brownies. Piece of cake (or brownie).

Pulled the brownies out of the oven when they were done, and let them cool. Then we cut them into 15 small pieces (from a 13" x 9" pan).

Eating them:

We had made the brownies the night before, and neither one of us had eaten anything in over 24 hours. I'm sure that had something to do with the fact that we both ended up feeling bad later in the day.

We got up at noon, and each ate a whole brownie. They tasted awful, and you could tell that they were completely and totally full of THC. You couldn't even taste the chocolate they were so strong. Played video games for like 10 minutes, when my best friend's girlfriend wanted to run to the store. We hop in the car, drive for a while, get to the store, and then i realize that i'm fuckin stoned. That's the great thing about brownies, you're just like suddenly extremely stoned, and you haven't smoked. Also, the high is different. I feel like a "float" more, and my body tingles more when i eat brownies than when i smoke. When i smoke, my mind feels kind of cloudy, and i can't think quite right, but with brownies it doesn't feel like that. Your mind is still really high, it's just a little more organized. Anyway....

At the store, we rented a couple movies, and went back to my friends house. I honestly don't remember the movies i was so stoned. I know we watch that "Mr. 3000" movie (Bernie Mac i think), but i don't have any idea what it was about. I was fucking gone. I have never been that stoned in my life.

At about 5 o'clock, my girlfriend calls and wants me to give her a ride to her little cousin's birthday party, both of which are across town (a 20 minute drive on the highway). I don't remember driving. I remember leaving my friends house, and getting to the party. I don't remember driving, and i don't remember picking up my girlfriend.

When i got to the party, i started feeling sick, my stomach was hurting pretty bad. My girlfriend's mom knew i had just eaten a brownie, and she said i looked really really pale and that I should go lay down. I went in a back room and slept for only like 30 minutes, but when i woke up, i felt pretty good again. I went downstairs and ate a couple chili dogs and nachos, while watching the Incredibles. I was still extremely stoned.

We hung out at this party until about 10. It was about then that I started to come down from the high. It went away about as suddenly as it hit.

The next couple times, i just ate a half brownie, and that worked pretty good. Sometimes, the taste made me want to throw up, so i would just plug my nose and swallow it. A half brownie worked pretty good, and got me good and stoned, but not as much, and for a much shorter time.

On 4/20, me and another friend ate the last brownies (I had kept them in the fridge, slowly eating them for 3 weeks, they never lost their potency). We each had a whole one, and then ate a 6" sub. This time, i got really fucking stoned, but i didn't get sick. I'm pretty sure it was the empty stomach that did it. After the brownies kicked in, we went out and drove around and each smoked a couple joints. Then we went back up to my dorm room and watched TV. I was fucking stoned, and for like 15 minutes i talked about how kangaroo's could evolve into people with built-in pockets on their stomachs to keep shit in.

Summary for those who don't feel like reading all of that:

Brownies kick ass. A different and longer high than smoking. Not much more work than making regular brownies, especially if you use boxed brownies. Don't eat really strong ones on an empty stomach.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

hmm all i saw about the high was the thing about kangaroos and shit, i have never had brownies, how was the high different?

[keefers]

sounds awesome.. to bad $35 of weed where i live is about 2 grams.. lol

[nizate]

did the glass jar have a top on it?

and would it work to just shake it up instead of stir it every once in a while?
thx

[Third3ye]

Dude, that last sentance (before the summary) is fucking hilarious

So let me get this straight... you made an entire batch of brownies off of a half ounce of schwag? Thats awesome. How crushed up was it? And one more question, did your brownies taste as bad the first time when you used butter?

[YourGod]

so say out of a batch of 12 brownies, how many should 1 person eat without worrying about getting sick?

[ruggles]

out of a batch of 10 brownies, with like like .8 in each i ate one and was fuckin blazed for 4 hours straight. not like gradual high, im talking total intense high. this fuckin bud was great, every time i moved my head it would take like 5 seconds for my eyes to focus. i definitely think that most of the weed ended up on one side of the pan, because my friends were lit as hell too. eat two man^^^^, youll love it

[chickenmaster]

I've been gone a long time, my bad. But now that i'm back, i figured i'd answer the questions people left (even though i'm like four months late).

The glass jar didn't have a lid on it. If it did, i would think the air in it would get really hot and expand to the point of the jar exploding. Since it didn't have a lid, we didn't shake it, we just kind of swirled the whole jar around. We didn't use a spoon or anything, if that's what you're asking.

These brownies tasted much worse than the ones i had made before using butter. I don't know if that's because of the oil, or because i used more weed. And when i say they tasted bad, i mean it. You might as well have just eaten a handful of bud (except i don't think it would get you high like that).

It wasn't that broken up. I've read in some places that you're supposed to break it up very very small. I didn't worry about it too much, and didn't break it up anymore than i would for smoking it out of my bong.

I hope that helps those who asked (if they're still around) and that it might help other people discover the joy of brownies.

eating weed i have been told (havent eaten it) is like being on a mild shrrom trip, not hallucinating, being feeling extremly stoned

[herbsman420]

Hmmm. Since it is virtually impossible to overdose on weed, I wonder what would happen if you ate a shitload of them. I wonder if you would just pass out. Well, now I have asked myslelf that question I will be forced to make pot brownies and eat a fuckload of them. I do not know when I will do this but I will let you guys know.

One night, i had well over a half ounce of middies in my bag, and saw a cop out in front of my dorm. I walked half a mile to my friends house, and purchased a gram of some good purple, smoked a blunt and vegged for like 3 hours. I then got really paranoid about having that much in the dorm, so i made brownies. I ate one of the brownies, and arrived back at the dorm. It hits like a train, and im stoned. An hour later i get the munchies really bad, because i haven't eaten, and it's the dorm, so there wasn't any food. I proceed to eat 8 of the brownies, because i was hungry.
