I agree the ability to have deep thoughts and even better solutions to problems is mind blowing and something I love about cobs.
It really sets your mind free.
Oh boy your going to have some beautiful cobs to test in a few months brother.
I've been stuck testing a 2 year old cob of Mulanje for a week.
Its super euphoric and mind bending in slightly larger doses chewed.
I'm finding it hard to break the habit on this one ha ha.
The taste and aroma is fruity pine/menthol I love menthol in a Malawi type plant.

Well, I've been sampling the Acid beauty cob this weekend and what can I say? It's just simply better than jar curing in my opinion of course. Saves space, terps remain intact, sooo smooth, seems to be ceilingless. I'm blown away. I've been smoking it but couldn't help having a little nibble and I think I might use it of a dessert it tastes that good 
.@Tangwena and all the others in here who are pioneers in the new frontier I salute you. Lets us go forth in arms my brother and sisters of the cob

@GreenAndFast looks very powerfull, did you make those with almost dried bud ? how many times where these cobs dried ?

The bars were slightly dry and the log shape was more moist, hence the darker colour. Again the bars were dried once and the log about 2 times.
That cob got me moving mad I just pressed some into rosin
Pretty dark but might be good sleep meds. I doubt it with the plant used tho hehe.

Checked the cob that didn't go through the sweating phase, been one week In fluctuating temps, most of the time at around 86f/30c.
Didn't turn completely dark, almost all the purple turned black.

I tried eating some, then I tried eating more, but I didn't get as high as I thought I would (I'm under the impression that I shouldn't have to ask myself if I'm high or not and that it should be obvious.) At one point I thought it was kicking in but it only lasted about 5 minutes. There's something there I'm feeling but it's very subdued.
Am I just immune to edibles/eating? (I guess I thought any edible I had in the past was just not very potent.)
How much are you eating? Do I need to wait longer?

I use about a 3/4" x 1/8" "coin" - I'm guessing at .5 g. - I try to chew as long as possible without swallowing much cob, just saliva - mine kicks in in about 45 minutes and reaches full lift off in about 2 hours. Now keep in mind I'm just testing - I haven't tried any that is fully aged yet.
Welcome to the brotherhood of the cob ha ha.The bars were slightly dry and the log shape was more moist, hence the darker colour. Again the bars were dried once and the log about 2 times.

When you get it right you surely know thats for sure.
You will just go from strength to strength now brother.
As Hombre said it should be intuitive add strong plants and bang your on a roll.
Beautiful work brother as you age them you will learn everything you need to know forever.
Purple always turns dark I have some purple cobs from purple plants as well.
Now onto your problem feeling the effects.
There are many reasons for this.
1. You may have a high tolerance from smoking/vaping.
2. The pot may be weak to begin with.
3. The cure may not have been good.
It takes time to master this cure. While some find it easy first time its not common.
I would think its a combination of all the above but mostly tolerance.
Best to not smoke for a few days then take 3/4 gram.
You are right you should have no doubt about it affecting you. The high is very different from smoking but much stronger and a lot longer lasting.

The first afternoon, I weighed out a little less than a gram and ate it and it didn't do anything. I haven't weighed it since but the last few tries had to have been a few grams (I'm not going to deny that I took a big bite straight from a cob this morning), tried it on an empty stomach, a full one, and before I ate. An hour or so in and I think I feel something, get the thought that I ate too much and think of all the things I read about starting off slow, and my heart beats a little faster. After a few minutes it fades away and I'm left wondering if I didn't eat enough. Seems it goes that way every time I eat an edible. I've never had an edible from a dispensary, I've had a few chocolate bars from the smoke shop that said they were 100mg and was left wanting more those times as well (along with 100mg worth of gummies from the smoke shop (which gets my wife blasted off ½ of a 5mg), whatever I've tried making, and some cookies I got once which smelled strong enough
).I need to find a guinea pig to eat some of these cobs, my wife sure as hell isn't going to want to try them.

I was shooting in the dark but bought a pocket scale for 14 usd. I took 0.15 g and was at my limit. Hits me in 1 hour. Every one is different so ymmv
damit man r u stateside or in canada, your tolerance level like mine, most days i'll smoke 6/7 j's.The first afternoon, I weighed out a little less than a gram and ate it and it didn't do anything.

Okay, under the heading of "Pics or it didn't happen"... today's activity. This is the most amazing smelling, and vigorous growing, sativa I've ever grown - Columbian Gold x Mulanje x Dream Latcher (or is that "catcher"?), anyway, thanks to the brother who shared the goodness!
I see many cobs of this in my near future. I do wish these were easy to share with everyone here, there's going to be heaps of them!
Cheers!
Top buds...
Closeup, pre harvest....
All in, ready for drying... It's hard to show all of it, there's a lot heading off in the dark behind what you can see here. Wow, what a plant!

You could be immune. There is a small group of people known as non-responders that are unaffected by edibles. I'm one of them
lol it sucks. We either have an extra enzyme or are missing one, or we metabolize thc differently. There isn't enough study on it yet.
Out of the 100s and 100s of times I've eaten edibles I've gotten high maybe 10 times. Now all of those 10 times absolutely I was wrecked beyond belief. But I can eat multiple bags of dispensary edibles with zero effect. I've even decarbed my own oil in coconut oil, up to a gram at a time, with minimal effects.
I've actually been following this thread closely and wanting to try the method myself, theorizing and in hopes that maybe the fermentation process may aid in "pre-digesting" or converting the thc into a more usable form. Sounds like your results are not leading in the way I had hoped though. I'm still gonna give it a shot soon either way to try smoking cob.
