ok so ive heard how some people out there just cant get high by smoking or eating but me i just cant get high when i eat it

i get blitzed easily when smoked

and b4 u say im not cooking it right lemme just say that my friends n i have made pans of brownies and we all eat them together usually...we put an ounce in the brownies and then cut them up into 8 even pieces so its assumed we are each eating an eigth per brownie....well everyone who ate one got high so i know we are making them correctly its just nothing happned to me

we have tried this multiple times and now i just dont bother putting in anymore cause its so disappointing

so any1 else experience this? perhaps do i just need to eat more than everyone else? i mean i have a pretty high tolerence but so do most of my friends

so i guess do i just try eating more and more at a time or stop eating it

I get the same thing, I've tried about 4 or 5 times and nothings worked..

I'm slightly like that, but for me eating it works, but only to a point.

Iv made it a number of times, i've eaten stuff OTHER people have made, and i just never get higher than my normal rolling "food high". It's a pain in the ass, b/c i don't even know how much money i've spent realizing that I'm not getting the bang for my buck.

Now I'm not so quick to jump up and cook w/ it. I'll pay 5 bucks for a brownie if someone's made them, but I generally will just keep to smoking and vaping. (And Bonging soon!!)

L & Stem,
Eaither u 2 are the only mammals on the world who dont get blitzed eating weed or your not doin it right. All you have to do is ask and we will tell you how to make the butter and brownies. Something you guys have done is not Aak-Rite (propper). Its not hard but do not do one very important thing and it will not work, do a couple things wrong and it will not work as good or not work at all. In Amsterdam they dont care about smoking herb but a couple years ago their was talk on making eatables illigal cause all the tourist would eat like 5 space cakes and then 3 hours later be in the emergancy room, cause they thought they were over dosing on herb (wich is very impossible unless you can eat or smoke like at least 2 times your body wieght). Eating an ounce of herb is unheard of, even if its shwag, so I know you guys have done somthing wrong.

You obviously didn't read his post.
He said he ate a brownie that was from the same batch as others which his mates ate and got high.
Man what the fuck are you even talking about? wtf is Aak-rite???

Eating does jack all for me too.

I must have eaten weed 11-12 times and felt nothing 9 or 10 times. Of the very few times I did feel something it was a very mild buzz and if I would have smoked the amount I cooked, I would have been A LOT and I mean A LOT higher.

lol fuckin WORD PieMan

no I read it, and the def of aakrite is in () right behind it.... aakrite is acurate but not when you say it its Aakrite around here any way

again all you gotta do is ask, besides their is alot of good recipes in the cooking section

Okay, you read it and don't understand English then.
And the definition of accurate is not 'propper'. Which is spelt proper by the way.

madsativa, please read my entire post before trying to seem intelligent

i stated that i ate a brownie from the same batch and 7 other people got pretty messed up...and most of the time were not smoking anything while were eating so i know its the brownies and that they are made properly....also i never said that i personally ate an ounce....it was clearly stated that the ounce was split up between 8 brownies


for those who have had similiar experiences (or lacktherof), how much were u eating and did u just try to eat more at a time until it got to a point where it was no longer economical

thats what i figure ill do....eat more and more at a time each session until i either get messed up or it doesnt make economic sense to eat so much for 1 session

Make the butter FIRST according to an accepted extraction technique, and THEN make the brownies. There's a distinct possibility that your cooking technique is lacking, and that your friends might even be experiencing somewhat of a placebo effect.

It should not take a whole ounce to get 8 people high off brownies if you do it correctly. When I make truffles using correctly extracted cannabutter or cannacream, it only takes 0.2 GRAMS equivalent to get to a VERY noticeable high, and I'm a pretty heavy smoker.

Try dosing your brownies at 1 gram per person, so take the amount of butter the recipe calls for and dose it at a gram of bud per person, extract that amount into the amount of butter you will be using, and then cook with that.

If that doesn't work, I'm at a complete loss, lol!

And can we not bicker too much? Pretty please with chocolate on top?

I don't claim to know the first thing about growing anything; hell, I can't make a Chia pet sprout.

I've only attempted eating once, and it didn't work for me, but worked for my friends. But on the same note, it may have been done poorly, so I'll have to give it another try with some of the recipes here. I had just kind of accepted it as just not going to work.

taken me 5 years to figure out why i don't get high,,cause i get to stupid really i gap right out.so i think i wioll stick to smokin

Again I read it but I can also read between the lines, you have done somthing wrong, your friends were all the placibo and you were the control, and proper, legit, the deal real, etc. are all definitions of Aak-rite here. You will see more as you read through my posts, I dont spell in english or any laguage to well. This is from not using spellcheck, knowing to many languages, typing in the dark, and a general disrespect for the english laguage all togeather. but you get the general effect of what im trying to say. This is not a trem paper this is me talking in the real through type in about 9 seconds. oh and I gave no effect that I was a smartty, smart, smart but when it comes to herb I am a "expert in the ganja feild"(see the word feild has 2 meanings here both related but not the same, english is a funny language).

Well... during my 2 very first attempts at using cannabis, i ate some truffle-like things (actually brigadeiros) with weed that my friends did make... i ate the same amount that them, and while they got HIGH i felt only slightly "different". Ok, i was a newbie to weed and maybe didnt recognize the effects of being high, but surely they got FAR higher than me.
I think being high is a thing our body "learns" to do... maybe its related with the body became used to metabolize the THC faster, or more efficiently... and i think it would be the same with eaten THC, cause the metabolization of it through the digestive system isnt the same of it when smoked... so, maybe you should try more times...
I would suggest everybody who didnt got high eating weed to try to make some green dragon. Its easier to get high from weed in liquid form than in solid form... and it takes less weed too... so you would know for sure if the problem is with the weed or with you.
Anyway, its very important to remember that eating weed is efficient with an empty stomach, and that eating weed with a full stomach mostly does NOT work... if it were the case, maybe thats why some of you didnt get high while your friends did.
Also, there is a recipe in the recipes section where Stinky talks about the uses of ginger, which may increase the absortion of THC by the body... so maybe you would try to eating some ginger before eating weed and see if it helps.
But, regardless anything, eating weed IS a bit of waste, cause you need (rougly) 5 times of the amount you would smoke to get the same level of "highness". Of course the duration of the high is far greater, but i dont know if it is worth... for me, who MUST live one entire year with 2oz, it is not... but if you have plenty of weed, why not?
So, i hope it has helped, good luck to all, and keep trying!
After the first sucessfull high (and i mean HIGHHHH) with eating (or drinking) weed, you will love it!

I used to work in a clinic, and I have tried every edible under the sun. Like you I just get a slight change, but nothing significant?
I have just given up on it, it sucks when I watch whoever eat half of a xxx hash brownie, and then I eat the a whole one and they are in space and I am ready to smoke a blunt. And these are people that otherwise smoke me under the table any day, I just can't get it from edibles. I wish I could!

Madsativa was just being helpful i dont see why he was getting bashed. Anyway your friends are good actors thats what happened. you probably did do what stinky said and not make the butter first

also i did not mean to bring back a thread from february ;c) i guess this forum is not too busy

Stemis, listen to Coelho and make some very potent green dragon (erb desolved in high-proof drinking grade ethanol, then filtered)

Or, my favorite:

Make very potent fire crackers (grind up 2+ grams of dank, spread on 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter between 2 small cinnamon graham crackers and bake at 300F or so for 20 min, wrapped in aluminum foil)

The most simplistic recipes are the best when testing if you really are an anomaly.

Eat/drink on an empty stomach, this is a must!

peace

i trip balls when i eat or drink it, i like it...i like it very much, i feel bad for you people.

woot, post 187

I feel bad for all of you that don't get to experience the full on brownie effect!!! wow. Anyway. I have had a couple experiences where nothing happened also. I believe there are several reasons for this. 1. Your stomach should be empty for full effect. 2. A slightly tilted tray can cause oil to seep from one side to another. 3. You didn't let the bud simmer for to long or not long enough. I am curious if there is a scienetific reason why it doesn't work for people.

I think every post in this thread is missing one important factor, so I'd like to share a story that will clear the issue up:

Here's what I think...someone who isn't me once had a lot of plants and decided to make edibles, since she knew the buds would be a good quality. She made a batch of cookies with 1g in each cookie. She routinely smokes large amounts every day, so she started off with two cookies (2 grams). After 2 hours, she was feeling a little bit, but was slightly dissatisfied, so she ate 2 more. After she ate them, she felt nothing for the rest of the day, and her mild buzz went away quickly after she ate them. She tried this again a few days later, this time eating 4 cookies to begin with, and again she felt nothing.

She decided to give it one more try, this time with a bowl of schwag to help move it along. Except this time, she titrated her dosage. She took 5 cookies, and had one small bite every 5-10 minutes, for as long as it takes, or until the 5 cookies were done. After an hour and a half, she was 1 and a third cookies in, and she decided to hit her bowl. After smoking, she was very intoxicated and realized how hard it hit her.

The point of the story is that her mindset has a large impact on the experience. First, she thinks she ate too much the first few times so that her high quickly turned to anxiety, which in return quickly ended her high. Next, the third time she ate them, she was relaxed, ready, and intent on feeling high from the cookies. And finally, if you tell yourself that you're not high, then you won't get high. Instead, focus on other things--the people around you or your environment--and when the edibles start to kick in, you won't need to question it, because it will distract you from whatever else your mind was doing at the moment. It happens so slowly that if you focus on it and wait for it to happen, you'll be disappointed.

I've eaten great amounts of brownies and cokies and haven't felt it. My friends make a batch of cookies and 1/4 cookie gets them so high they can't walk to the store. I eat a whole cookie, nothing, smoke a bowl and I feel like I smoked a bowl. No matter how it is done it don't work for me. I am intrigued about spacing out the intake though, good call!

Haha, Im sure if I did that I would throw up indefinetly. Too much weed makes me throw up. I've thrown up from crackers twice and vaping once. You must have super tolerance broo

I've also had less than stellar experiences with edibles. Gotten lots of different stuff from the club from cookies to brownies to biscotti to pills.

The most effective of them all were the hash pills, but even then I only noticed the effect by taking them in the morning and not smoking at all that day. It hit me slowly as a very mellow stone and probably made me tired more than anything else.

Plenty of he times I ate the other stuff I was also smoking fat bong tokes. I just think smoking good weed masks the effect of whatever you eat.

Could it be that you have a high tolerance of THC so when you consume the marijuana in any shape or form by eating it that the acids in your stomach break it down to the point that there is nothing at all for your body to get a high from? Stomach acids are pretty heavy in the work that it has to do.

I could be wrong but that is the only thing I can think of, it seems the most logical explanation to it. Maybe you need to put more marijuana in what ever it is that you are cooking it with? Or you just need to get really dank bud, possibly do both!

But I could be very wrong
