So I made some brownies...
I took about an ouce of trim from my first grow (all fan leaves/stems/fromsty leftovers) and put about 1.5 stick of butter along with a decent amount of water (16 oz i think). I simmered these in a small pot for about 3 hours, and then put the non plant matter in the fridge, 3 hours later the butter seperated and i have roughly a stick of green butter. I used this to make some brownies... used more butter than the recipe called for...

I have never made (canna)brownies before, hell never had them before... but i had odd results... i cut the pan into 4 pieces... my buddy had a 1/4 of on of the pieces on 2 seperate times and he was gone(high as hell), more so than smoking, the same thing happened with another tester, 1/4 of a piece (1/16 of the whole pan) was almost too much... but i had a whole piece (1/4 of the pan) and i barely got anything out of it... are there just some people that don't get affects from ingestion? Or is it bc i smoke more than they do?

Have you been smoking alot of that strain lately? If so you prolly have a much higher tollerance for that strain than your friend.


my 2 cents,

It's tolerence and most of all the placebo effect. Your testers are looking for and anticipating a killer buzz so they get one.

You on the other hand are not swayed by the placebo effect and feel just the actual physical effects and they are mild at best in my experience

yeah this might be true... I have not been smoking much of this strain as it is only 1.5 weeks into curing, maybe i just give the product more of an honest opinion rather than anticipating a great ride, and therfore havign one... oh well maybe cannabutter isn't for me, next harvest (5-6 weeks) butane honey oil, hash, cannaOil(for cooking)?... we'll see

I've made brownies several times using extra leaves, and did not get very high very little buzz, then one day I made some using the buds,(not a very potent strain-brazil x KC) about 1/4 oz And well, it was just too intense, I was stoned all day. I still have some in the frezer, I will need a whole day with nothing to do befor I 'm able to eat them again
Next time I'll use an eighth.

cannabutter cookies seem to affect me like muscle relaxers for the most part - just really relaxed, don't wanna get off the sofa kind of stone.

I do think it has something to do with what strain you use though, because I made one batch of cookies with some of my most potent bud, and I had the same relaxed feeling, but it was more intense(kinda trippy-my depth perception was off). I caught a pretty good case of the giggles when the cookies first kicked in, and the couchlock lasted entirely too long - about 6 hours glued to the sofa.

I have been using my one plant that went hermie for cooking the most - it went hermie so late in the game that I couldn't throw it out. The flavor of the smoke was horrible - tasted like I was smoking a floral scented dryer sheet, but it worked out well for cooking with. A couple of hermie cookies before bed really help when I have had a stressful day at work, works all the kinks out of my muscles so I can sleep.

I don't think that cannabutter consumption could ever replace smoking for me, but I doubt I'll ever quit doing either - that is unless I find a vaporizer that can hold a candle to my jerome baker bong!

Peace

Whenever I have made brownies, I found that a well timed bong hit can actually start the brownies effects off. I know it not just me getting high from the hit because it lasts all day.

Hey all I took cuttings from the bottom of a plant (45) days into flower and boiled them in oil for about 2 hours. Then im going to make brownies. I had about a half oz of wet just picked nugs when i started the boiling> do you think i can still get what im looking for even though the nugs were not yet fully devoleped? Any info is appreciated

How long does it take brownies to take affect after you eat em?
