It's $3 for ONE brownie. At least when you buy Girl Scout cookies you get like, eight cookies in the box.

I've never eaten pot brownies. Do they actually get you high enough to notice if you didn't know there was pot in there?

This is why we keep marijuana more illegal here in Florida than in other more liberal states, because guess what liberals? This is what happens to our children when a permissive drug environment is in existence.

Wait wait wait, let me make sure I clearly understand your reasoning on this:
Pot only gets you high if you're aware you're doing it OR if you use it in sufficient quantity?

Drugs do not work that way.

I was just wondering if the 8th graders were suffering from the placebo effect of being told there is something that will make them high in the brownies when it's present in such low concentrations that it wouldn't actually make them act any different if they didn't know it was there.

Depends on how much herb they were made with and how skilled the person making them was. They take about an hour to come on and last 4-6, so perfect for making it through a school day.

If they've eaten a real pot brownie before they'd know. If there's a decent amount of weed used then you can get really effed up.

You are supposed to boil the weed in water and butter. The butter will absorb the THC and other cannabinoids. Then you freeze, and the butter will be on top. You scrape it off and use it for whatever. On toast works too.

Yup, you have to have a card to order from this restaurant as it is a dispensary. However, I did read an interview with the owner a year or so ago who said their most popular item was the pizza and that 90% of their business was take out. So find someone with a card and I bet they'll share their pie with ya. ;-p

Damn, that won't work. This is a business trip, so no friends there. I was hoping on the the next trip to California I could pick some up as I heard that it's pretty easy to get there because the laws are loose and not well enforced. I don't know when I'll get to California again though.

blondski: I've never eaten pot brownies. Do they actually get you high enough to notice if you didn't know there was pot in there?

I ate one once when I smoked a quieter oz/day (I was like 18) and had a huge tolerance. My cousin made them with only leaves from his crop. I laughed and said no way will this get me high. I ate one brownie, it was huge though- the size of 2 cans of soda. Strange reference, I know, and I'm from WI, so "pop" for everyone else, I guess. Anyways I ate it, ran out of gas cuz I was too high to notice my gauge, got a gas can from my trunk and walked to a gas station. Got back and realized I locked my keys in the trunk and locked my car door. Walked home and got a spare key, walked back to the laundry mat where I was parked doing laundry. Got in and drove home, then realized I left my laundry at the mat. Got it, came home, then realized I locked myself out, left the keys inside (because I was driving with my spare set, which didn't have a house key on it). Normally, my anger management issues would have had me explode in a fit of rage over any one of those problems, but I laughed and giggled like the idiot that I was the entire time. "he he hehe I can't believe I just did that..." Then was so hungry I ate a 12 pack of tacos from taco bell by myself.

It's been many years, so the exact amounts I don't remember. I used to just mix it in with tea leaves and steep in hot water for about 4 minutes. Start off with a little and adjust up until you get what you are looking for.

ows: Don't Troll Me Bro!: //would totally do it if I couldn't lose my job over it

Indeed. Also, my employer has a few gov't contracts, and drug testing is a part of keeping those contracts. What is really dumb is it goes down to our contractors as well, such as the company that cleans the rugs at the entrances. I get that they don't want the guy writing code used to control valves at a substation to be using, but what's the worst that can happen with the guy filling the vending machine? I hit the Dr. Pepper button and a Pepsi comes out? The war on drugs is such a waste.

LeroyBourne: I never understood why people like to eat weed. I guess if you have asthma or something, and simply must get high.

You can get much much more stoned eating it. And the stone will last much longer.

I ate a browny once and went canoeing for the day. Woke up the next day still stoned.

Or, you know, you're trying to treat a chronic illness and can't/don't want to put smoke in your lungs. Even vaporization is too harsh for some people, especially the elderly and people trying to treat lung cancer.

For those who are in really bad shape, they even make suppositories.

We're talking about 8th grade kids here, you're opening a whole different can of worms.
/suppositories? i learn something new everyday.

Anyone else not all that impressed by the stones delivered by edibles? I like the body high combined with the overall smoked stone, but itself overall not as effective as bong rips of the dank.

I know edibles can be potent but people relating that brownies should be assumed magnitudes stronger, not completely true, at least in my experiences. Take some hash and the bong, youll be in orbit instantaneously and can control dosage waaaay more effectively. Ive heard some edible stories but all the weed stores and even the pro pot chefs who think they can put down an elephant, just a Monday morning stone to me.

/Someone post what Ive been doing wrong

Studebaker hoch - Just how much pot do you have to eat to achieve an overdose? It seems to me the amount eaten must be quite large for this catatonic state to occur.

I use herb-butter for cooking with canabis. Easy recipe: 1qt Heavy Cream, ~3gm canabis -stem
ed and seeded (or a half-nickel). Whip the cream in mixer, starting on low and going higher ever 3-4 mins, when the ''whipped cream'' stage breaks (it'll start looking watery) start scraping the bowl down as needed. When it forms large clumps, strain off the Buttermilk, and swap the whisk with the batter paddle, and place the buttercurd and weed and cream the two until consistent. Pack tightly into sealable container and keep refridgerated. Further buttermilk may seep from the product -this can be drained without affecting the potency, as the buttersolids retain more of the canabis oil...

radarlove: $3.00 per brownie is INSANELY cheap. At the dispensary I used to work at we sold smallish but potent ones from one vendor for $7 a pop and "Big-Ass Brownies" from another vendor for $15.

That's after taking into account the 500% markup. Dispensaries are into it for profit, even though they're not supposed to be profiting from the sales. An 8th that is sold for $40 at a dispensary can be had for $15 on the street, and it's just as potent.

FTFA: 'all the students who knowingly ate the brownies would be disciplined.'

Assuming you can prove it, smart lawyer guy. Short of a direct admission, that's probably impossible without a piss test, which probably violates student privacy rights. Even putting that aside, you can prove someone ingested THC, but you can't prove they 'knowingly' did it. You can't even allege it, based on the price, since regular brownies aren't a lot cheaper. If I want to sell my special homemade brownies for $3 apiece, and fellow students are willing to pay that rate, you can't prove intent based on that. Maybe they just like me, or expect that my brownies are especially tasty, or heard they're organic or whatever.

I was one of two people who made perhaps the best magic brownies ever sold in Providence. Our brownies were designed specifically to appeal to Brown students and crunchier townies. They weren't vegan, but they were all-natural, and partly organic, and used ingredients such as carob chips. (We later switched to bittersweet Ghirardelli, then unsweetened organic chips.) We charged $5 apiece, and if that sounds cheap, it was: We made almost nothing beyond material cost, enough to continue doing it. But we weren't interested in making a bunch of money; we just wanted to make the best brownies we could, and I think we succeeded. MJ went her own way, leaving town and then leaving the state (and then New England completely), while I stuck around several more yeas. I made several more batches over those later years, but never sold any again. If I made them for a party, I assumed the costs. If I made them on request, I only asked for enough money to cover the pot, so I still operated at a loss. I didn't care, though. People loved my brownies, and that's all the reward I ever really wanted.

blondski: I've never eaten pot brownies. Do they actually get you high enough to notice if you didn't know there was pot in there?

Holy Ceiling Cat, YES. It's easy to fark them up, if you don't know what you're doing, in which case the high may be minimal or transient. But done right, the high can be very intense and long lasting. Many people used to smoking complain first that they're duds, because they typically take 45 minutes to an hour to kick in, but once you get going, it's quite a ride. It's a lot flatter than a smoking high, but no less intense, and lasts much longer. Some smokers don't like this. It's characteristically different, enough that people will have preferences. One more thing: If you do it right, you get a lot more bang for your buck from brownies. I'd use an eighth for a pan of 16 brownies, each one worth about two hours of high. You won't get 32 hours of high by smoking that same eighth.

His Sonshine: This is why we keep marijuana more illegal here in Florida than in other more liberal states, because guess what liberals? This is what happens to our children when a permissive drug environment is in existence.

I think you meant to say, "We're not smart enough in Florida to handle it, like you Yankees are."

I think that's very possible. If you're told that the brownies contain pot, and you don't know what a real pot brownie is like, then I think it's probably easy to convince yourself that the brownie got you a little high. I'm feeling a teeny bit high just from participating in this thread, and that's obviously psychosomatic. But a real brownie kicks pretty hard by an hour in, and you won't have the slightest doubt about it. If you don't know it's a pot brownie, it's likely to freak you out. If you do know but have never had one before, it can still be disturbingly intense for some people. I think all of these scenarios can lead to people 'getting sick' from them, though it actually takes some work to make yourself objectively ill from them. That said, you obviously should never use any amount of any mind-altering chemical if it might impair your ability in the near future, and especially if any near task involves safety or critical functioning. That's just common sense. If you wouldn't do it drunk, don't do it high, and vice versa.

The_Philosopher_King: Is there a recipe for weed tea?

THC acid is a lipophilic, and must be bonded to a fatty acid or it will not be digested by the human body and taken into the bloodstream. Fatty acids include all the things we normally think of as edible fats and oils, plus edible alcohols. Without seeing the recipe, it's hard for me to understand how this bonding occurs with any kind of tea, and without it you won't get the high. You could conceivably bond it to the fats in an added dairy product, but the dosage would be pretty small. There's got to more to this than just infusing it in hot water, with or without any other plant matter.

Real Women Drink Akvavit: There's a place in Denver called Ganja Gourmet that cooks with "canna butter".

When I was making them regularly, I had a supply of ghee (clarified butter) on hand for ready use. I could have pre-infused that, but I preferred to work from fresh ingredients. That also meant that I had plenty of it for regular cooking, and didn't have a bunch of electric butter hanging around waiting to get me in trouble. (Unlike a lot of people doing this, I rarely stored pot in any quantity, instead buying only what I needed and using it right away.) But it would be very easy to whip up a pot of cannabutter, and if I ran that kind of business I'm sure that's exactly what I'd do.

hicksfa2: What a waste of perfectly good baked deliciousness...

Cannabis has a strong, bitter taste, but you'd be surprised how quickly you can come to like it. The main point of pot brownies, and almost certainly the reason they were developed, is that the strong chocolate flavour goes a long way to masque the less desirable cannabis flavours. We used carob and later bitter chocolate, plus blackstrap molasses, to do the same. We thoroughly sauteed the cannabis in ghee, then carefully pressed out the solids. But privately, we often just ground it up fine, sauteed it for a shorter period, and threw it all in together. It's a matter of taste, really, but your brain likes to get high, and will quickly learn to like the taste of pot brownies.

LeroyBourne: I never understood why people like to eat weed. I guess if you have asthma or something, and simply must get high.

Smoking anything is bad for you, and that's the best argument against it. That said, smoking and eating give you very different experiences. To some, it's a matter of preference. I suggest trying it before you knock it. There are other reasons, for example situations in which you can't smoke, or can't smoke close enough to when you want to be high. When you smoke pot, the high comes on immediately, but wanes much sooner. When you eat it, it comes on much later, and much more slowly, but lasts much longer.

gund: You are supposed to boil the weed in water and butter. The butter will absorb the THC and other cannabinoids. Then you freeze, and the butter will be on top. You scrape it off and use it for whatever.

That's a technique that seems obvious, but I never thought of it and never read it before. Thanks!

By the way, for anyone reading this and wondering what happens to pot when you heat it: You need to heat the pot to liberate the THC acid molecules in it so that they'll go forth and bond to the lipids you've provided for that purpose. Heating also converts a portion of CDB and THC into THC acid, which is a plus, since CDB doesn't get you high but in sufficient quantity can give you a headache. (This is why you don't smoke uncultivated hemp, which is much higher in CDB than THC.)

Don't Troll Me Bro!: It's been many years, so the exact amounts I don't remember. I used to just mix it in with tea leaves and steep in hot water for about 4 minutes. Start off with a little and adjust up until you get what you are looking for.

Huh. I'll have to take your word for it that that works, but I admit I don't understand how.

Bob16: I ate a browny once and went canoeing for the day. Woke up the next day still stoned.

It's possible that part of your high the next day wasn't from the brownie you had the day before, but from an earlier high. When you use pot, a portion of the THC acid gets socked away in your fatty tissues, and later exertion can release that, even weeks and weeks later. When I was a regular smoker, I had to walk across town one day. I wasn't high when I left, but I was definitely feeling something on the way back, and it seemed very much like a pot high to me, though cleaner and milder. I've heard and read countless similar stories. Canoing could definitely do that.
