    hello! So I recently recovered from pneumonia and I really cannot smoke anymore [​IMG] I've been a daily smoker for 15 years now so I'm totally bummed. I would like to start making edibles BUT I am horrible at baking and I have never ever made edibles in my life. I've got no clue how to even start. I would love if someone could send me a step by step EASY EASY EASY recipe for pot brownies. I would be making them with a quarter ounce of kind bud. I do not want them so potent that I can't move but I do want a nice high. I usually smoke a couple bowls at night so I'm looking for a similar high to that. If anyone has a recipe that fits this description PLEASE pass it on. I really need to be walked through each step including how much of each ingredient to use. Thank you

     
  2. Hi, welcome to Grasscity !

    Well are you okay with the taste of edibles?
    You can either directly put the weed into the brownie mix or you can make cannaoil. Which one would you prefer since you said simple?
     
  3. thank you! I'm honestly not sure, im not too concerned about taste, I would just like to do whatever will produce a good high and not be too complicated. I've never made cannaoil before...

    I suppose if it is possible to make pot brownies by just tossing in the bud I would probably rather do that as I've heard making the cannaoil or butter will make your house reek and I have kids and neighbors [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Does it really get you high just by tossing it in? Sorry for all the questions just want to make sure do this right as the weed I buy is great quality and pretty expensive for a small amount so I don't want to mess it up and ruin the pot!
     
  5. Don't just throw it in. Make cannaoil and use it in either a bought brownie mix or in a homemade one.
     
  6. It's super easy to make butter without stinking up your house, a crockpot with the lid on from start to finish seals the smell in.
     
  7. ^^

    If possible I always recommend making oil or butter.
    If you legitimately can't make cannaoil/butter, then I would point you toward firecrackers.
    If smell is a problem then you can make it in a mason jar with a water bath.

    how do I make cannaoil? And how much oil would I use with a quarter ounce of kind bud, just use whatever amount the brownie mix box says the recipe calls for? Once the oil is made do I just put it in the brownie mix in place of the "regular" oil? A box of premixed brownie mix makes an 8x8 pan of them. What kind of high will a quarter ounce of weed produce in this amount of brownies? Super potent or not potent enough? I'm sorry I'm so clueless! You guys are being super helpful
     
  9. Just looked into firecrackers (had never heard of them before!), they seem so easy to make its like almost too good to be true! Found this recipe and am seriously considering this over the brownies. Do you think this is a good, legitimate recipe???

  10. Yeah that will work fine. Firecrackers are very simple.

    Be sure to post a pic of your finished product
     
  11. so excited! Going to try tomorrow night, gotta go grab the ingredients (can't keep peanut butter in the house normally or I will get baked and eat a jar in one sitting lol. 15 years of smoking pot and I still get the munchies!)
     
  12. will post a pic for sure, thanks for the firecracker suggestion!
     
  13. here is what I do for amazing edibles that are easy enough to make.


    First off we have to decarb or activate the ganja. To do that we need to figure out our dosing / portions. What I have found and what I always do is a quarter of a gram ( .25 grams ) to a half of a gram ( .5 grams ) per brownie. Each brownie is a single serving so there are no mistakes. To much ganja is not fun. It is absolutely abysmal. One of the worst experiences you can have is to get too high off of edibles. Eating ganja is not the same as smoking ganja where you would green out. When you eat ganja it just keeps getting you more and more hammered. To the point of horrible sickness. Don't do it on purpose, don't do it as a joke and don't do it as an accident. Just don't fucking do it!


    Ok, PSA and rant over. So a quarter of a gram of decarbed ganja per edible is what we are shooting for. That means an eighth of premo ganja that you have decarbed and then made Cana oil out of will medicate 12 brownies or cookies. So, let's start e process....


    Get an 1/8th of killer ganja. The kind you smoke. The better the ganja is the better the end result will be. Grind up the ganja to a course grind. Make a foil packet about five inches by five inches. Think foil envelope and dump the ground up ganja in to it. Seal that envelope good and as air tight as possible. Use he handle end of a butter knife to seam and seal each edge of the foil packet. Now place it into a preheated 220* F oven on an oven pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the packet after that time and let it cool to room temp. Open the packet and dump the contents on to a plate for inspection. Properly decarbed ganja will be darker, far darker some times. Like super dark brown or green. It will be thouroughly dried out and crispy like. It will smell funky. Like super funky funk! You'll know what I mean when you see it. It should not be burned to a fucking crisp!


    Making ganja infused coconut oil for your brownies or cookies.
    Take 2/3 cup of the best coconut oil you can get and put it in a small such pan. Turn the burner to its lowest setting and then dump the decarbed ganja you just made into it. Watch it closely because you want it to barely agitate, to barely move, move the tiniest slightest amount. That means the heat is just high enough. Let it steep like that for 30 to 45 minutes. Notice the oil change colors and darken to a greenish brownish color. It smells like funky goodness at this point as well. You could strain it at this point but I never do.hell, usually the ganja has mostly dissolved by now anyway. It even adds a nuttier kind of flavor too. To each their own I guess. That and I am lazy. So after the 30 to 45 minutes of the slightest heat that was just slightly agitating the ganja in the coconut oil as it steeped. Let it cool to room temp or the eggs in the brownie recipe will cook and scramble lol. Now you have ganja infused coconut oil.


    Let's make brownies!
    Follow the box recipe for everything except the vegetable oil / butter that is called for. Use the 2/3 cup of ganja infused oil instead. These are not kiddy brownies and will hammer your ass to the couch no lie. If they don't then you cooked the ganja to long or to high and killed it. Aside from that, asses will indeed be hammered to the nearest couch!


    Quick edible recipe!
    Decarb 2 grams of ganja per the above directions. Take a cup of milk and put it in a sauce pan. Add a quarter of a gram of decarbed ganja to the milk. Set the burner to a 4 or 5 for five minutes. Remove the milk from the heat and let it sit for 5 more minutes. Notice the oils sitting on top of the hot / warm milk. Drink the medicated milk and get all hammered in about an hour to an hour and a half. Don't strain the decarbed ganja from the milk. Add milk chocolate and a caramel square for the best hot damn chocolate you ever had bar none!


    Keep the rest of the decarbed ganja in a pill bottle in the freezer or fridge. If you can't keep it there, then a dark drawer comes in a close second. It keeps for Weeks, years in the freezer I imagine. Good luck blade!

    wow! Thank you, I will definitely try those! Thank you for being detailed I will be able to follow that recipe easily!
    I did make firecrackers tonight. Well, 1 firecracker using graham crackers. Only made one because it's my first time and I figured I'd need to play around with dosage. I used about one bowl pack for the one cracker. Do you think that was a good amount or too much? Should I be ok with that amount you think? I'm only about 40 minutes in so it hasn't kicked in yet and I'm getting a little nervous about being TOO high!
    I uploaded pics of my firecracker making experience [​IMG]

  15. two hours in and nothing! I may be immune. That's a whole other post tho ha!
     
  16. Still nothing? Bummer. Sorry for wasting your weed.
    I've notice that everyone gets affected by edibles differently. When I make edibles for others, I tend to put a crap load of weed to see them have a good time lmao.

    Back to what I said earlier. If smell is a problem then make cannaoil in a mason jar. Then you basically add it to anything you want. Avoid using it with anything that involves high heats, which can burn the THC in the oil.

    If you like to drink then I would recommend you make Green Dragon/Tincture.
     
  17. the reason I was so very detailed is because everything else is bullshit if you don't decarb your ganja first. You need a small digital scale for measurement or you run the risk of fucking yourself up. You really got to do this right. Ok, / harm rant over


    It didn't work because you did NOT decarb your ganja first. You absolutly have to do it. Your edibles won't work. They won't get you high if you don't decarb the ganja first. So decarb your ganja first. Here is how.....


    1) go read the part where I said how to decarb that ganja of yours for single edible doses. It's in that monster post above your last post.
    2) now that you have the decarbed ganja and the thing you want to happen can now happen, mix the decarbed ganja with the peanut butter first. Mix it well. That way the fats and oils can pull and draw out the THC and other good stuff that gets you high. Th longer it sits, the better, well faster anyway, the edibles will work.
    3) now make the fire crackers you wanted to make. You remembered to decarb your ganja first right?


    Jokes aside, it didn't work because you didn't decarb your ganja.
     
  18. What are you expecting when you eat an edible?
    Head, body, hybrid effect?
     
  19. Its all about how you process it. Ive been in your shoes before thinking i have an immunity but all that was wrong w my edibles before was that they weren't decarbed properly and i never used lecithin. Oh and i stopped wasting bud on firecrackers bc not a good source of oil, in less coconut /any other oil was mixed in the pb too....you can do small batches in the oven w almost no smell in the house. I can tell you exactly how i do my method if you want and if it doesn't work than ill believe you have an immunity.
     
  20. Go to a good Green Dragon or tinture thread
    You can make some great meds
