I've been wanting to try edibles for a long time now, and I want to make some firecrackers, however most recipes suggest putting in 0.5 grams, but since I'm not a strong smoker (a few times a week) would a 1/4 - 1/3 gram dose be enough?
Dosage is heavily dependent on the individual and the quality of the material being used. If you are not traditionally a heavy smoker then a smaller dose is a good place to start. You can always prepare and eat more after the fact and learn your preferred dosage. Learning your dosage the hard way and over indulging on edibles in respect to your preferences could leave for a negative experience, so I applaud you for thinking ahead of time that more is not always better. Edibles take a little while to metabolize in your system so give it about half an hour to an hour before judging it's effects. It may take a few times before finding the sweet spot in your dosage, but worth the effort to maintain a sort of efficiency in your edibles. A little bit can go a long way with edibles, but then there are also times when a good dose is needed. Much personal preferences will dictate the dosage.
Cheers to finding your correct dosage. Start with what you feel comfortable with, only you know your body. If 1/4 gram medicates you when combusted and smoke, the edibles with the same amount will fit the bill without a doubt. Edibles in my opinion are more powerful than combusted and inhaled smoke given the same amount of material is ingested. Different effects, longer lasting, that sort of thing.
0.25G - Produces a subtile effect, your mood lifts nicely, music sounds sharper, and creativity forms. You could easily function daily with this dose.
0.50G - Produces and intense body high and you become very stoned, vision, sound,and mind are enhanced noticebly, laughing at random items such name tags, buttons and zippers has been reported.
1G - Who are you, why are you a frog and why has the clocked stopped moving.
Like Cannavore and Big foot in his own way have said there is no set amount. Since herb is not regulated there are all types out there, then there's your size and weight, not to mention tolerance. I eat at least one firecracker everyday, sometimes two. The effects vary depending on what herb is used and of course how much is used. I have a Simple firecracker recipe in this section, with pictures, while not weighed, you can see about how much is used. Hope this helps.
