    Hi. I'm new to the forum, and medical marijuana in general. I live in Oregon, and across the board legalization is a distinct possibility for the vote in November. I'm interested in using marijuana to treat insomnia (It's one of the few things that consistently does the trick for me). Problem is, when I smoke, it almost always triggers my gag reflex. So I was thinking of looking into an edible delivery system. So what I was wondering was this...
     
    If I'm baking cupcakes, brownies, cornbread etc, do I have to use special recipes? Will the baking process destroy or diminish the THC? Any useful feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Well man I'll be honest with ya I've made brownies once and those taste the best to me. The only way that you will mess up on the brownies is when you are extracting the thc out of the ganja. You really want to bring your bud and oil mix to a simmer, which varies from stove to stove. Other than that just follow the original recipe with the brownies and decarb the bud before you even use it. There are a lot of brownie recipes on here as well

    Hi there, trying out edibles definitely wouldn't hurt if you have a hard time smoking it. Sometimes the effects can be more overwhelming on people, but as long as you try a small dose especially if it's your first time you should be good. 
     
    There are a lot of recipes pinned in this forum "Incredible Edible Herb" that you'll probably enjoy having a look at. Lots of the recipes are quick and easy, most known as "firecrackers" where you literally grind up the weed, use crystals, etc and cook it directly into the food. It's common with crackers and then blending the weed in with some peanut butter, chocolate, etc and tossing it in the over for roughly 20 minutes.
     
    I had tried this method and it always seems to work very well (although it's tricky to tell as I always end up smoking as I wait for the edible to kick in), but another method which is just as common is making a butter, which is again a recipe to make very potent weed butter, then when cooking you can just mix that in with what the recipe calls for. This method usually works much better and tastes better too (more like the actual food/dessert).
     
    Just have a look around and try what you think will suit you best, but like i said a quick way to find out if you might like edibles is the firecrackers that you can make in under half hour. :)
