Getting high

it doesn't sound appealing but the ingredients burn/melt into whatever you made the center filling. I usually do it with nutella because it's masks just about any other flavor, but it's not like if you use something else you'll be taking a big bite of ash or something. You don't notice much and if you do you may just be looking for it.
Sounds good. Doesn't take much to convince me lol. I'm gonna try these this weekend.
Nice buds man, was it you or another UK gaf smoker who lives in Nottingham?
Omfg you sold me on it. I really want to make some. Can I use a small convection oven, used mostly for pizzas? Also, ask for crappy regular weed or anything will do? Wouldn't it be better to use strong shit on these?

The irresponsible part of me wants to try making croissants, where the final dough is upwards of 30% butter, with this stuff. Haaaah.
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
OH MY GOD.
WHY HAVEN'T I THOUGHT OF THIS.
I'd suggest trying a regular size oven if you can, but if the convection is all you have available it wouldn't hurt to try.
As for weed that's entirely up to you. If you're rolling in weed try out some heavier more pricey stuff, but Schwag or dirt weed is fine as well. You're baking everything within the plant matter into the food so I think even if you used pricey stuff it could be comparable to other product.

not trying to be a Debbie downer and whatnot, but anyone ever quit for a period of time and get anxiety attacks every time they smoke?
I had been smoking for 10+ years every day and I quit cold turkey for a piss test (bad ass job) (had a really really stressful time quitting, but prevailed, fuckyeah.jpg) and I took two fat ass bongrips of good kush my first time back and had a massive panic attack.
tried a couple of times since, and every time except for one I've gotten that familiar feeling of a panic attack (been able to talk myself out of them and calm myself down).
I don't want to smoke daily any more, but I do want to smoke every once and a while with good friends as a kick-back routine (I don't drink).
Will I ever be able to smoke again? Does this go away?
edit: Before I quit, I started taking 25 mg of Prozac daily for OCD and Bipolar.

I haven't tasted the infused butter before, but I imagine that's a valid concern. Croissants can be made with a huge variety of things rolled into the barrage - roasted garlic, kimchi, orange, cinnamon, basil, and on and on - which could offset the taste of the weed. Could also put chocolate pieces into the center for pain au chocolat.
this is my brain on drugs
this has to be one of the most amazing things I've seen. wow.
now time to back out of this thread, too many temptations

All out. Although it was shitty weed, it was still weed. Found a new supplier thankfully, but won't be able to pick any up until two weeks from now. Daaaaaaah.
I'm coming to the end of my first year at university and its goddamn its so easy to get drugs I love it. Probably have nearly 20 dealers phone numbers right now. Heck, some dealer here pass there number out on business cards. Plus everything is delivery as well, weed, coke, mdma.
I'm already getting sad about what I'm going to do once I leave university. Its just so easy to find hookups here. Even if you have no dealers, ask any student on the street, at uni, at a club and you'll get a hookup. Its a bit annoying though as when I go back to my home city (London), since I don't go to uni its a bit tougher to get dealers, still have a few but they a bit more difficult to get more as I don't go to uni here, and no one delivers small bags in London, only like ounces or some shit. Heh, the perks of going to a university city (nottingham) where the students run things!
Sorry, been really busy the past couple days, haven't been able to check the thread. To answer your questions:
Using buds is fine, it's just really expensive relative to using clippings. The problem is that for a batch of canna oil I usually make about 3/4 of a cup of oil and use about half an ounce of clippings in that, which from my dealer costs me rougly $20. Constrast that to if I was to use a half ounce of buds at about $100.
I did a lot of research prior to making my first batch of edibles to avoid waste and this canna oil recipe is what I first settled on. It works really well if made properly so I haven't really had any incentive to try something simpler. I find it to be a fun activity, albeit time consuming. The problem with trying to do what you're describing is that you likely won't properly extract what you need to out of the weed and it will be a waste in that case, especially if you're using buds.
Dosage is always something you need to figure out on your own, because everyone reacts to these things differently. In my case, that 3/4 of a cup of oil I'd use in a batch of cookies that yielded roughly 40. For a first-timer, if you were making the same recipe I'd recommend eating only half a cookie your first time, and WAIT, even if you don't feel anything right away. Edibles are weird in that sometimes they can hit you straight away and others they will take an hour or two (at least in my experience), the worst thing is to OD as it's not fun at all.
My recommendation would be to eat the cookie/edible first on an empty stomach and follow up with other foods as desired. Make sure you have lots to drink, I get thirsty as hell from edibles.
That's really not very much, looks like maybe you've got 2-2.5 grams there? As I mentioned above, I'm using about 14 grams in 3/4 of a cup of oil, so I'd recommend scaling the amount of oil you use accordingly, otherwise it'll probably be too weak. In your case, what you'd come out with you could maybe use to cook up some eggs or some other small recipe. It would likely not be enough to make a batch of cookies or something ike that.
Hope that helps.

Okay, so I am planning to make some cannaoil as described above, but I don't have a scale and have no idea how much a gram or any other unit of measure is. Any guidelines I can use in a pinch? This is what I have available:

I think that amount of weed will work just fine. I've made cannaoil with only about 3-4 grams for 8 brownies and it was fine. 2 brownies (so lets say about 1 gram of weed) had me soaring. The principle of making thc bind with the fat is the same no matter if you have an ounce of weed or a gram of weed.
Thanks for the response, albeit just one evening too late!
We tried it with just a simple oil recipe and brownies. This is the third time I've tried marijuana, with the first two being smoking with my girlfriend. It always seemed like it had a huge effect on me, and none on her. I was convinced she wasn't inhaling, but now I think I'm very sensitive to it, and she isn't.
I had one small brownie and then another one after an hour of feeling nothing (definitely should have waited 2 hours for the first to kick in). By the second hour I was clearly high. My limbs were all tingling, I was incredibly thirsty, and my mind was racing to the point where speaking was difficult because my mouth couldn't keep up with my thoughts. When making decisions I would quickly think about every solution and then it would be impossible to decide. By the third hour time was going so slow and I was slipping in and out of a dreamlike state every few seconds. My breathing felt abnormal, and when my eyes would close I felt like I was falling rapidly. Waves of nausea started to hit every 5 minutes. I then got sick and lost most of the chinese food I had for dinner. I felt that I was unable to move due to lethargy and feeling of heaviness. Finally by the fourth hour I got in bed and thankfully fell asleep and woke up with a headache and dry mouth, but back to normal otherwise.
All in all, it was very unpleasant, and for an hour there quite scary. The first two times that I'd smoked it was fairly good, though I don't like the feeling of being high only because of the lack of control I get. But this time it just went so far past what I'd felt previously.
And my girlfriend had the exact same amount with the same amount of food later and was barely high. She apparently gets very introspective, but still outside of a heavy feeling, she felt nothing like I did.
I'm not sure I will be trying it again. I'm glad I did, but even when it wasn't scary, I still don't like the feeling no control (I'm similar with drinking, can only stand a buzz, nothing more). A big part of it could be that it was just me and my girlfriend. Maybe with a more experienced and relaxed group of people I'd enjoy it.
Oh well, thanks for all the advice guys!
Edit: For reference I used maybe 2 grams of Blue Dream for half a recipe of brownies.
nah bro, why completely rule out edibles when you clearly said you overdid by having 2 brownies? NExt time take it and easy and trust me you'll be loving it. I find edibles to be a way more 'clean' buzz than smoking.
I agree with OG Kush, do not let that one experience ruin edibles for you, it was clearly because you ate too much.

im never mixing weed and alcohol again. was pretty drunk and decided to smoke some loud and then I became motion sick or something. anytime I moved I ended up throwing up. I had to lay in the grass and was dry heaving for like an hour... awful experience lol. couldn't think straight about anything.
I find unless you are VERY drunk they mix OK.

I just try to find a sick view so I can turn on some tunes, blaze up for a few minutes, and jump back into Skyrim (or Life Drainer 5 or whatever you wanna call it). The game has so many beautiful environments and vistas. It's perfect for that sort of smoke break.
lol I actually try to find spots in battlefield 3 to toke in the middle of the game
usually it's just me hiding in bushes

Pipe recommended. A small spoon should do. Buy some cheap, shitty tobacco and just practice rolling cigarettes until you get good. That way you don't feel defeated if you spill or waste weed. If you don't smoke tobacco and don't want to, be careful not to get in the habit of smoking the cigs you roll. Might get you hooked.

Let it heat up or a few sexonds, and Inhale SLOW. That's really the only trick. If you're not feeling it, you're not inhaling slow enough.
This is what I can think of
1) A good hit for me is about 20-25 seconds
2) Use grinded weed, and don't pack too much. I don't know about others but I feel that I get better hits by just sprinkling very evenly, but not too high up
3) Don't actively inhale---I preferred to kind of hold it in my mouth and make the most gentle inhale. Just lightly direct air traffic into your mouth and that's enough!
4) Don't put the battery you just used back into the MFLB box, especially putting it on the metal part; JUST DON'T DO IT
5) When you put the battery back in the charge, make sure it's on the right side---and if you see the battery fall off the charger and you hear a sizzle, DON'T TOUCH EITHER
It won't feel like a pipe at all but as long as you feel that warm vapor in your mouth and going through you, that's all. And if you feel the MFLB getting too hot you can breath in a little faster so it doesn't burn too much.
That's all I can think of for now, enjoy!
- don't over pack it
- charge your batteries a little past full
- grind your weed pretty damn finely, chunky bits take too long to catch
- I prefer going without the glass pipe because it's a direct hit, but it's good to get a bit of practice in with it in there so you can see the vape come through. Good to know how long it takes to heat because each unit is not the same.
