I'm Just Exploring My Options On Cooking With Cannabis

ok first off my grow will be ready some time down the road and i was hoping to compare smoking pot to cooking with it. i know smoking will get you stoned. but if i were to consume it does it give you the same high a better high or not as good? and how should i cook it. just trying to get an idea now so when it comes time ill know what im doing

Edibles, IMO, have a stronger, longer lasting high... but it takes more. You can't get high off .5g of butter

so if i wanted to make a good batch of canna butter how much pot would it take?

My buddy makes butter all the time and averages about 2 sticks of butter to an oz of trimmings

i like to cook with it and i have done alot of it so ill tell you two thing that i like to do. one is making butter . if you take a sauce pan with a couple inches of water in it and get it started heating on the stove then in the mean time you take a quart mason jar and put your chopped up cannabis " about and ounce " in with 2-3 sticks of real butter. then stick the jar in the boiling water on the stove to basically create a double boiler. let that boil slowly for about an hr or 2 and then strain it through triple layers of cheese cloth and squeese all the butter out into another jar. now you can cook with it or put it in the fridge till it hardens again and cook with it later. i usually just follow the ingredients instructions on the cookies or brownies or what ever you are cooking. it gives broccoli a good flavor toooo. next is hard candyand for this you should make a tincture with 120 proof vodka and cannabis for a couple weekstill the vodka turns dark green. then simply make hard candy with sugar at about 250f and when it reaches temp put in some flavoring i.e cinnamin / sour apple/ grape whatever you like then pour it into the molds and as it is cooling but not to long pour in the tinture at the desired rate and let it cool. I experience a very intense body high and a mild head high that last around 5 -8 hrs after eating. it is nothing like smoking at all for me and alot longer lasting. thanks for the compliment on the avatar and happy cooking. let me know how it turns out!

I like to follow the cookie/brownie recipe, except double the amount of butter. You get super rich, super potent treats. I just ate a chocolate chip cookie, then smoked a bowl of northern lights, with some purps hash, with some amnesia haze keif on top. All in honor of the holidays of course! Blaze on my friends!

well i was going to make brownies. ive had two kinds of brownies one with bud in it and it wasnt that great and one that was cooked with the butter which i thought was a lot better. so i take a sauce pan and boil some water then take a mason jar with my bud in it and throw the butter in it then set the jar in the water and heat it for an hour and strain the bud out of the butter. then cook a batch of some super brownies?

ya the ones with bud in them always have that grit to them and they dont taste that great. yep sounds like you got it for the butter and watch out they are pretty powerfull if your not ready for it. what strain are you using? r you using trimmings or good bud? i use the trimmings and they are really potent so bud would probly be even better and you wouldnt have to use as much. happy cooking

bitch make me a sammich.

so basically after everything said and done i should have extremely potent brownies and it should make my head vibrate it should be so strong

Yup, edibles can really fuck you up, the biggest mistake people make is eating too many at once because they take a bit longer to kick in. I used some cannabutter so make mac N cheese once and scarfed it down, ended up trying to start my car with my phone for about 20 minutes until I realized what I was doing. Edibles are great!
