Going on 72 hours high

I am a first time cannabis user. I have been experimenting with dosages/strains and thought I had figured out correct dosages. I had 10mg of northern lights and felt pretty good, so the next day I tried 10mg of granddaddy purple. Big mistake. I still feel high 3 days later. My focus is obliterated and it feels like I'm running in low FPS.

Any advice on how to come down for this or when I can expect to go back to normal? I'm hoping this is a universal experience...

First time baker

Looking to stop smoking to give my lungs a breather. Was hoping to make some edibles this weekend but never have tried. I'm also not great at baking in general. I've seen people suggest using rso/ concentrates. My question is - what should I buy? (Bud, concentrates, or rso) What would be easiest for someone who never cooked with cannabis? Any help, tips or even recipes would be awesome. I live in PA so the edibles here are weak.

Keeping brownies at room temperature?

I'm thinking of getting brownie edibles that were made with hash, and I'm wondering how long they'll last if I wrap them in plastic foil (and perhaps alu foil) and keep them in a dark, dry place at room temperature. Ideally I'd like to keep them for 2+ months. I'm just worried about mold growth, I don't care about them going stale as long as they're still edible and effective.

2.5 MG does the trick

I often and usually take 2.0 MG a few times a week. It does the job almost every time, I’m 6Ft and 170 pounds.

Feels like I am on a small dose for years…anyone else get benefits from a small dose like this ? Almost like micro dosing.

Decarbing before infusion vs not

I’ve been making edibles for 5+years and am mostly self taught - Frankensteining different methods I read about/ have learned from different people My process has always been to decarb material before putting it in double boiler with unsalted butter and water. I clarify the butter first, add decarbed budz and stir for maybe 10-15 mins. Then strain the mixture and discard the water after fat solidifies. This method has rarely ever failed me. The only time i can clearly remember was when I infused for over an hour at a low/near simmer temp instead of the usual 10-15 mins. Is this because I decarbed the weed first? My mind is blown when people talk about infusing for 4+ hours. Is it bc they’re not decarbing first? I want to infuse some coconut oil and I’m so tempted to just use my same recipe but I’m short on time so there’s not a whole lot of room for error. I have couple of different thermometers and want to start experimenting more as more material becomes available lol I wouldn’t be surprised to learn I’m an idiot and flat out wrong/confused. But pls explain this to me 😭

Tldr: I infuse my decarbed weed for only 10-15 mins and my edibles come out strong/great. Why infuse decarbed material for 4+hours?

Any thoughts on VeedLabs?

So, edibles are generally not effective on me. Tried different brands, I live in EU so many labels are unexisting here, of hemp-derived delta-9 products and never had the slightest effect with them, even with dose going over 400mg. But I tried the Veed nano-∆9 syrup this morning and was blasted for the day with a bit more than 100mg. I Heard that nano-emulsion could be a solution for persons who can't metabolize thc, that's why i tried when i saw this in my local shop, and it seems no other brands provides this particularity around me

Do you know this brand? Is this a trusted source here ?

My MIL wants to try edibles - I smoke. Help?

Hi guys, I'm currently trying to make some canabutter cookies or brownies, at my Mother-in-laws request. I've found a ton of recipes online and all are super high yield - 40+ cookies etc. I prefer smoking myself for speed and control, and have never tried any edibles let alone making them.

All the recipes I've found to make the butter use a ton of weed and as I'm using my own purchased weed, I'd prefer to make one small batch for one small recipe so I'm not wasting /having a bunch of left overs as I'm not likely to eat them.

Does anyone have a good recipe for say 6 cookies? Or brownies etc. Trying to only use around 3g of flower - I'm in aus and it's expensive!

I have 18% indica flower so can get a reliable dosage but also have no idea how to calculate etc. I want her first experience to be a good one, and would really really appreciate having a reliable recipe so I can guide her in waiting it out/ not overdoing it etc.

She's a very stoic woman with an extremely high needs autistic son who is in respite this weekend, and would love to see her let down her hair with the rest of the family for game night this weekend. 🤞

Any and all help and advice is greatly appreciated. 💚

Small bite?

My friends gave me a 80mg gummy and I wanted to take a little bit (def not the whole thing) but was just scared of taking to much. I very occasionally will hit a pen here and there so def not experienced or whatever. So I was just wondering if I took a fr tiny bite would it be like taking one hit from a cart. (Also I’m on prozac don’t know if that affects anything but just to be safe!!😄)

How do I make gummies last without going bad?

Is there a way to make gummie edibles last around a month? I want to preserve a batch for at least a month in a plastic container so that I can eat some during the weekend instead of smoking during the weekend. Im not sure if they would go bad after a few days or not.

What's better, instapot or sous vide?

ny advantages of one over the other? Obviously SV is more precise, but apart from that? Please only if you have actual experience with both methods.

also the SV method in the article linked in the wiki doesn't mention how the time affects the composition, on the contrary to the art about IP.

Does This Cannabutter Recipe Seem Off to Anyone Else?

Hey all, I’ve been following a cannabutter recipe, but I’ve got a strong feeling something isn’t quite right. Would love some input from the pros here!

So, the recipe starts off with decarbing the flowers at 115°C for 45 minutes, which activates the THC/THA. It even says that lower temps can activate more CBD/CBA, which aligns with what I’ve read in science journals, so all good so far.

But then things get a bit… strange. It says to bring the mixture to a boil and cook it for “at least 4 hours, but better if 24 hours.” They mention using a fine-mesh cloth as a sieve and not pressing the plant material too much, claiming it will "release bitterness."

Here’s where I’m scratching my head. Would cooking for that long really improve the potency? My understanding is that trichomes dissolve in fat pretty quickly, way before the 2-hour mark, so what’s the benefit of cooking for 24 hours? Also, wouldn’t prolonged cooking activate more CBA than needed? Plus, if bitterness hasn’t come out after 24 hours, is it really still an issue?

I know that using butane or other solvents can yield similar results almost instantly, so this seems strange. Are there any solid, science-backed cannabutter recipes out there that explain these steps a bit better?

Any advice or recipes would be awesome! Thanks in advance

Best edibles for depression

I don’t like to smoke, so I prefer edibles. I also can prefer something not super high in THC because I’m a lightweight.

What kind of edibles would be best for me? Ratios, strains, etc. I live in PA if that matters.

Bad trip first time

So I took my first edible a few months ago and it was too small and I did not feel anything. But last night I took a full cube and I think it's about 30 mg. Anyways, the first thing I did was I remember making dinner with my husband and I'm making rice and I usually wait for the rice to boil but the stove side it was on wouldn't let it boil the whole thing just burned. That's the first thing I remember. I remember laughing a lot and just eating fruit and just enjoying everything. The next thing that that was scary was, that I remember blacking out. It was like someone was turning the TV on and off and on and off until I was on my trashcan because that's where I landed on.

My husband grabbed me and took me to the bedroom and laid me down, and I just couldn't move to look anywhere else. It was a movie. I know that it was me talking and everything I say, I say to everybody in real life. Also, I was talking very slow. Everything was being articulated.

It felt like I was watching a movie through my eyes like the movie Inside Out. Where the emojis are watching the life of the girl.

So that's how I felt and I felt my husband was a side character, but there were moments where I could snap out for like 20 seconds just hold him and tell him that this is al real and I’d then into the movie scene again.

I remember my husband, taking me in the shower and I said to him something that I wouldn't say out loud, but I did say it and then I had to bring him back into bathroom to tell him that I would never say this fully conscience. Even though this man literally knows everything about me.

I threw up a lot too. And my husband was there every step of the way. And then I just laid in bed and I was “sober”for those few seconds and I took a bite of dinner because he was feeding me as well because I physically couldn't hold a plate or utensils. I didn't do anything, like watch TV or listen to music. I just want to lay down and stare in that one place wherever my body was facing, and sometimes I just had enough energy to turn around and go back into the ‘movie’. And it hurt my husband seeing me like this, which was not something I wanted.

Basically, the experience was so bad that I am someone who is so clean, my husband and I take care of our house and keep everything clean. However, our dishes from when we were cooking at yesterday 9 pm was still in the kitchen. It is 2 pm, the next day right now. Spoons and spatulas that we used to cook. Everything was there covered in the food that we just left. Because I physically had no energy to do anything.

I'm writing this fully conscience, and fully sober. Want to share that my kitchen is now clean and my husband is coming home with lunch, and this was my experience. Yuck.

Not feeling much from 10 mg gummies ..am I one of those people that they don’t work for ?

I just got 10 mg last Friday . Sometimes I feel a tiny bit tired after taking one but I never feel high but when I lay down in bed to sleep it doesn’t seem like it’s having any effect . My goal isn’t to feel high just sleep .. just pointing that out since I am seemingly a non responder

Would higher strength gummies work ? Or should I try something else ? Other things available are flower /tinctures.. don’t want to vape

took 17mg, did not feel anything
