Never tried cooking any of my own products, always just been a smoker, but recently I have discovered the joy of edibles (that others have made). I would love to begin making some of my own, but I have no idea where to start! I've been checking out the cannibutter/cannicocnut oil recipes on here, they seem like the basis, but here's where the noob in me shows: where does one get such a large amount of shake/trim if one doesn't grow? Do growers sell it as well? Any other tips/tricks/ideas would be great! Thanks!!!
Ok, so i'm a noob...

The easiest recipe and the one that requires the least amount of weed is firecrackers. Two crackers with peanut butter on them, weed in between. I cook at 300 degrees-F for 25 minutes. Others have different time frames, the key is to Not cook at such a high temp, or for so long that you vaporize the THC. Depending on your tolerance and the strength of your weed anywhere from a 1/4 gram to 2 grams will do the trick. These do not qualify as taste treats, simply a delivery method of eating cannabis. I try to eat or consume tinctures on as empty a stomach as possible, and wash it down with as little liquid as possible, on the theory that the magic in the weed won't be diluted by other foods or liquids in my stomach. I had a physical this spring and couldn't eat that day because they were drawing blood, I went 20 hrs without food but had a firecracker with 1/4 gram of Northern Lights in the car. Ate it in the parking lot and was getting very stoned within 20 minutes. I occasionally eat a couple of crackers as the firecrackers bake in order to get my digestive juices flowing. Not sure if that makes a difference, just a little experiment on my part. As you read more about firecrackers you will get confused by various claims about additional steps in the process, or what type of peanut butter to use. Before you become overloaded with info, just make one and eat it. Take about 1-2 hours to kick in at full strength. At this point it is nice to smoke a small amount to accentuate the effects.
Thanks Newkirk, I have read a lot about firecrackers on this site, something I'm going to try at least once for sure. I found a site that sells cannibutter for just a little more than what it would cost me to make it, so I think I might go that route, so I don't risk f-ing it up and wasting my bud. I am excited to try cooking with the stuff, see what I can do! So, new question: What's everyone's favorite recipe? I'm talking taste, smell, effects, everything. Which recipe has the whole package for you?

I'm a big fan of chocolate canna-banana bread. I would suggest trying to make something that has chocolate in it. When I first started cooking I was informed that chocolate helps intensively the high ever so slightly, because it shares a similar ingredient to that of cannabis. Even if that isn't completely factual, chocolate is bomb to begin with. Plus I really like bananas, so that's the whole package for me.
I would caution that you do not know how good the weed was that went into the butter, so consequently you might not know why your edibles don't work, or don't work well enough.
If you put a good sized joints worth of weed, you have smoke to assure quality, in a firecracker the unknown is eliminated. Greatest possible loss, 1 joints worth of pot.

just be creative anything you put butter into substitute with your cannabutter,like mashed potatoes, uhm, i see a posty in here where a guy did king crab ,
