unpleasant experience with edibles

[Barn Owl]

After years of eating brownies I think they are the worst form of edible there is. They break down to slowly and last too long.
Switched to cupcakes that work in 15 minuets and only last 2-3 hours. Pumpkin-spice with canned squash or pumpkin cover the taste great.
Brownies eaten slowly with a hot beverage on an empty stomach are ok, swallowed in chunks on a full stomach just wastes them.

I guess it depends on what you want! This is a good thing if edibles are too powerful. I'm not sure I get the hot beverage/empty stomach thing. At least, that makes no difference for me.

I like an edible that is strong and long lasting. I initially used to think that edibles use more than smoking, and you need more to cook, but if you smoke, the duration is short and if you eat a brownie, it will reduce or eliminate the need to keep smoking. If you use it for whatever and you want to keep the buzz going, than you do end up smoking even more than you would eat in one day. Smoking is so painful for me, that I had no choice really.

I have come to the conclusion that a good 3 to 4 grams of top AAA grade nug that is dry & well cured when ground up into a fine powder in a coffee grinder then simmered on low in butter or oil and used to make brownies with is plenty potent for the average human being to eat one (possibly 2) for a very pleasant body high with minimal negative effects. They sure as hell make you tired though in my experiences with them and they take at least a good hour to really start feeling it but last way longer than smoking. Eating the brownies to me is more like a tired narcotic feeling in the body compared to the more mental and creative high from smoking.

This was at two pm yesterday afternoon, thats really the last thing i remember. I have fuzzy recollections of getting up off the sofa to take the dog out and being worried that I might pass out with her outside, but other than that I think I was just crawled up on the sofa in the fetal position for a good 10-12 hours. Even now I feel rather miserable.
Im guessing I ate too much?

I did the same thing as you yesterday MT, a friend sent me a tupperware container full of cookies. They had been sitting in my closet for FIVE YEARS, so i thought okay lets try a few before i throw them out, i thought the potency is probably very low due to them being so old. It took about two hours for it to hit full tilt, and by then i could barely walk, I felt drunk, weird. Needless to say i was fucked up for about four hours, it just kept coming wave after wave.
This morning when I woke up i could hardly see, my whole field of vision was like looking through a prism. It freaked me at I thought i might be going blind,but it was really kind of neat, so I went for a walk in the sun, through the snow, wow. At times I had to walk really slow because all I could see were huge Crystal rainbows. The neat visuals left instantly and i had a boring walk home LOL

My first batch of butter is cooling in the fridge now. And like you, this thread is going to make me very careful.

AH-HA-HA-HAhhhh!

I've been there & done that. Every thing was cool when I listened to the directions - start with a small piece and adjust from there. After a couple months of daily dosing, I decided to see how far I could push it - heavily.

First time it was 28 hours before I felt like I could go to the store, and I was out of cigs!

The next time I ate that much about midnight, went to bed at 3:00 am - got a call from the police department at 5:20 am - somebody broke into my office at work and I had to ride over there and take care of that. Faughhh!

It is enjoyable

I ate 1, waited about 20-30 minutes, and didnt feel anything. So than I got bold and said screw it and ate 4 or 5 more.

wtf were you thinking? why would you eat 4-5 more....next time dont be a fool and dose properly...if one doesnt work....maybe try 2...dont be irresponsible and have a good time
