As the title suggests, I just finished making edibles. I've never had one, I've never made them before, and I have no idea what to expect, other than likely passing TF out lol. I've never been much into bud and hadn't smoked in years prior to Thursday.
I have (tremendous) chronic pain and received my MMJ card on Thursday after 2+ years of being on opiates. I bought a high CBD strain called Harle -Tsu, which I've been using along side tinctures during the day, and absolutely love it. Very little head high (which is what I was hoping for) but it does appear to be working pain-wise, despite simultaneously tapering off of opiates.
That said, I've also bought a few strains of (much) higher THC to help with my insomnia and, TBH, to utilize the fact that I can do so. One of which is 31% called Mag Landrace (which I haven't tried yet). I've been using an 80% Northern Lights pen to go to bed and holy shit :-).
Anyway... I know you're supposed to decarb, but I found a brownie recipe by Mario Batali. It calls for 4g. I got a deal on 1/4oz of AAA OG at the dispensary today for $25, which claims 16%, and opted to use it. I figured for my first time I likely wouldn't care about (potentially) tasting the greens since I've never had a decarbed brownie.
The recipe- https://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyl...infused-recipe

TLDR- I have medical card, lots of pain, first time doing/making an edible, and pretty nervous/excited. I know I say a bunch of stupid shit here, so roast away.
AMA. [Reply]

My only experience with edibles is eating half a cookie, bitching about feeling nothing, then literally getting hit with a tidal wave of highness. Ended up puking like a bitch :-)
I’ve never heard of puking. However, I have had a few experiences where if you described your high on a scale of 1-10 I was at about 47. Did not enjoy that. [Reply]
I've never liked edibles. Too difficult to control the dosage and timing. I'm a much bigger fan of vaporizers, personally. Good luck, though - hope it helps. [Reply]

Here’s the gravy train secret....
Use 1oz to 1lb of butter. Put the grass in the oven at 200 for 30 min to decarb... then double boiler the grass and butter for 3-5 hours. Then strain out all the butter with a cheese cloth. I normally let it cool a bit and substitute it in your recipe of choice. Easier to make a double batch of cookies with the 1lb of butter (4 sticks) . Or you can save he butter and use accordingly. For edibles remember that you can always have more so take it slow. If you make a cookie recipe I’d start with 1/2 a cookie and give it a couple hours depending on your metabolism and how much you had to eat before...
Are the leavings in the cheesecloth good for anything? [Reply]

Get a good grower contact. They know that stuff, I’m too lazy to learn (plus it’s illegal here as well). But in OK it’s not and it pays to have family there :-) always a good time to visit the fam.! [Reply]

My brother says he makes them into dog treats...I never tried it because I have small dogs but after double boiling for 3-5 hours there can’t be much left in it so the logic seems legit. Also it won’t be leavings in the cloth it will be like a small brick of wet grass ...ya know that stuff that gets stuck under your mower when you cut the grass while it’s wet. [Reply]

I do have tinctures, a dry herb vaporizer, a few bowls and a Northern Lights pen that's ~80% for bed time. I just wanted to try something new. [Reply]
