Any chance someone could help me calculate my dosing here? I made canna coconut oil. Decarbed half an ounce of mids (S.A.G.E.) at 215f for 90 minutes. I've seen S.A.G.E. have THC levels of anywhere from 20%-25% - I smoked a bit of this & it's not the best quality I usually get, but it wasn't reggie, so I'm going to estimate it's around 15% THC.
After decarbing I added it to my Little Dipper crockpot with 1 cup of coconut oil & 1tbsp of lecithin. I had it going for 6 hours, stirring every 45 minutes or so. I then strained it through a cheesecloth being sure not to squeeze the bag (hoping this would give me as little plant material as possible).
The recipe used half a cup of oil & resulted in 24 pieces. What would be the THC in mg for each piece?
Using the calculation from Leafly (https://www.leafly.com/news/science-tech/dosing-homemade-cannabis-edibles-why-its-nearly-impossible-to-cal).
I had 14g of mids S.A.G.E.. I estimated it to be 15% THC (or 150mg THCA per 1g of flower). 150mg x 14 = 2100mg THCA.
In the decarbing process I lost .88 THC so 2100mg x .88 = 1848 THC being extracted.
In being infused into the coconut oil I lose .6 THC so that's 1848 x .6 = 1108.8mg THC in my 1 cup of coconut oil.
I used half of that in the brownies so 1108.8mg x .5 = 554.4mg THC in the batch of brownies.
I cut the tray into 24 servings, so 554.4mg/24 = 23.1mg per serving.
Is my calculation correct? By this calculation, that means each piece (which is pretty much only a one bite cube) has over double the average edible serving of 10mg THC?
I'm a big guy & have a decent tolerance, but after 90 minutes, even that little piece has me feeling the body high come on. So maybe 23mg THC per serving is correct?
I have been making an effort to meditate every day. I struggle with calming my mind. I usually get my mind calm then have an idea that I get excited about and start thinking about that idea. Then remember that I'm supposed to calm my mind. Then continue this process for 15 minutes or so. When I finish I feel more focused. Especially the longer I am able to clear my mind. Does anyone meditate and have any tricks?
Most people would agree that the carmelized multitextural top of the muffin is their favorite part. Whole companies have been devoted to selling to the niche market of muffin tops even.
So when you're high and can eat anything, like myself, ration yourself to merely the bottoms so that way in the morning (don't worry; they cure over night) you enjoy only freshly harvested tops to help give you a better morning head start on the day.
Yes, I just ate a lot of bottoms.
Rinse it well with hot water, place in bag full of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and salt (I prefer sea salt/larger salt grains). Shake well until most or all of the resin is off your piece. Next, take a Q-tip and dip it in the rubbing alcohol, clear out all the holes and clean off whatever resin is left. Rinse in hot water again and dry. Every time I do this, my pieces look good as new and I love it.
The process goes the same for a glass bong except just put water and salt inside the bong itself, cover the holes and then shake it well.
Hope this is helpful, I just found this sub. I learned this tip from my sister, a real pro; toke on, frients!
I remember a small change I did when smoking that actually made a huge difference, without changing how gently the hits are lit. All I did, which people seem to neglect, is improve your breathing when taking a hit. Aside from not torching the weed and not letting it sit in the bong for several seconds, all I did was exhale quickly through my nose while keeping the hit going with my mouth, straighten my back and neck perfectly, and opening my mouth wide and breathing in all the way beyond my belly button (at least that is what it feels like). The difference was quite noticeable. Another thing to keep in mind is that your brain only has so and so many cannabinoid receptors, so taking small hits and waiting around 10-15 minutes between these kinds of hits will definitately get you higher and conserve your precious botanicals. It might also save you from building up a tolerance by not overkilling it. Just wanted to throw that out there for the laymen, feel free to downvote this down if it was unnecessary
We were mulling over creating a Macgyver section over at metaweed (www.metaweed.com lazy link for people) for the best cannabis tricks out there. Would people be interested in that?
I'm fairly noob at this, but as a fellow ent and amateur cook I hope to help you with a simple trick.
Cooking firecrackers? Smoking a nice bowl?
Have some water boiling in a high (:P) and large pan, and pour in it all kinds of spices that you have in your kitchen. Powdered ginger, cloves, mint. As long as it doesn't make you gag, you can't miss.
If it's good bud it will just mix up with the spices' smell with the neighbours thinking you're cooking a disaster, otherwise the smell will just get covered by the spices.
Good smoking ;)
Here's a picture of what I mean. The tape is kinda hard to see but its on there.
My dealer recently moved to another state and nobody I know smokes, well everybody I know bought off this guy. I live in Sydney.
Of the squeezeable, pop-top refrigerator ones, like Hershey's. Open the lid thingy or take it off, doesn't matter, and microwave the bottle for 10-15 seconds. Remove quickly and immediately empty contents onto bowl of ice cream. Instant hot syrup, and a lot more of it comes out quicker than if you just hold it upside down.
Step one is gathering the supplies. You will need:
Peanut Butter -Ganja (I use vape weed sometimes mixed with some green, works perfectly.) -Saltine Crackers or any type of dry cracker. (Graham Crackers work and something like wheat thins or tortilla chips would work too, but for me the saltine crackers work the best because of their size and style of cooking) -Vegetable Oil -Butter/Margarin -Tin Foil/Aluminum Foil -A bowl to mix it in -Oven
Preparation:
Step 1: Portion out your amounts, its easy to tell because when you mix the peanut butter with the weed it will get thick and hard to stir so use as much as you think is the right amount but for numbers.. an eighth of weed is equal to about a fat spoonful of peanut butter.
Step 2: Put the product and the peanut butter in a bowl and microwave it for 15 seconds. (This will help melt the peanut butter and make it easier to stir)
Step 3: Mix it and add about a spoonful of vegetable oil and about a centimeter thick slice of butter of your stick. (You dont want to much because it can become too runny and wet)
Step 4: Take your cracker and place it in the tin foil, spread a nice sized not to big not to thin of a layer of the mixture over one side of the cracker and sandwich it with another cracker. Then fold it in the foil and make sure you wrap it nicely because this also helps prevent much smell from coming out (usually when i'm done my house smells like peanut butter)
Step 5: Set the oven to anywhere from 315-330 degrees fahrenheit and let it warm up. (I probably should have said preheating was step one but i'm pretty high lol!) Place the firecrackers on a cookie sheet and bake them for around 25 minutes. (This may vary for everyone because everyones oven works differently, experiment and find out what works best for you)
Step 6: Take out the edibles and let them cool, then enjoy!
These get you to about an [8], my friend ate one and he was high for 8 hours so be careful Ents! Heres a picture of the finished product, i also put white chocolate over them to make the taste better ;D They are a little messy but the high is worth it. Goodluck friENTS!
Something that'll come in useful specially if you're underage or just dont want tree stuff coming up on your credit card bills for mom or dad or wifey to see it. Go to Walmart or Target or whatever supermarket (some chain grocery stores too like Publix if you're S.E US), and buy american express gift cards. You can buy whatever amount of money you need on that card and purchase your bongs, pipes, grinders, vapes, jars or whatever marijuana related stuff you want. Just make sure to have somewhere they can ship it to without your family or people intervening, or be there when it arrives at your place so you can get it quick. Good shit, keep smoking my fellow ents.
Coming down to a [3] after a [6]. Good day so far c:
Hi ents, I have been smoking regularly for about 6 months and have been vaping for the past 2 months regularly. I love weed, but my munchies are terrible. I usually dont eat too much sober, and am pretty skinny, but when my munchies kick in, I eat way past the point of being full. I feel my stomach stretching and I dont get hungry for about 24 hours. its terrible! so ents, how do u control your munchies?
