I don't use water at all, just Ghee. Since I actually want to know that my cookies are not just a desert item, I don't attempt to remove all evidence of taste/color. KISS method. Cook time on the first wash is now down to 6 hours. Using the SWAG method I haven't noticed any less potency in the product. I do decarb, but only to remove all the moisture.
We've gone to a potato ricer to squeeze the butter out of the mash. French press Can/Will break... if you get a pressure point too strong. Don't like broken glass, or budder all over the counter!!!!
I also recook the mash with a second batch of fresh Ghee, to get more of the THC out of it. The second washing of the mash, is weaker than the first batch. However I've made cookies from it and found that my 'lightweight' ass still only needs 1 cookie (instead of a half), to get me to the levels I want to maintain. (The second mash wash is only 1.5-2 hours cook time however). Since the second wash is weaker than the first , you can elect to keep the two batches seperate or they can be combined if you want the strongest potency. The thing to remember is; if one is not enough eat two. lol Just as you would smoking. One hit not enough, hit it again.
We've also gone to single strain extraction to make the 'high' similar to the smoke of the same strain/ or even phenotype.
The cookie strains are now AK47, Bubblegum, Oregon Grape, and White Russian. AK47 is my favorite 'daytime' cookie. White Russian for the 'Knock out'.
Hope this helps some of you better understand edibles. They are indeed a mandatory method for me, since my lungs are torn up by tobacco, from years ago.
Just remember, it takes a while for the digestive tract to work it, and don't add more for at least 2 hours or so. (My standard TTE 'time to elevation' is 1 hour). .... Some of the mixed strain product took 2 hours to kick in however. About the time you swallowed the last of the second cookie, the restriction said 'May NOT operate heavy equipment'.
JM.02.... your mileage can/will vary!
I do NOT do stealth. Too much liability. If you don't like someone, don't waste good cookies on them. lmao

2LegalCo, Snook you guys got me going, I had 4 cookies this morning at 9am and hit about a full spiff over the course of the day/night and I'm feeling pretty pain free, sleepy and all that other jazz. But what I think is that the effect of eating these cookies is that its following its strain characteristics, critical (royal queen, afghani x skunk hybrid). I must be altered because I feel it in the way I'm typing
