I wish i could get the results some of you report with edibles. I have had completely zero results with edibles. From homemade bud brownies back in the day, to professionally made edibles, none of them have done anything for me. I recently tried a cheeba chew deca dose cause i heard they are the best. Others stating they were passed out high from half the chew had me wanting to try. I popped it in one bite and after waiting, nothing. Ive tried an assortment of candies, snacks, teas and some like full meals with mmj and nothing. I consider them a novelty, almost for fun. They do not have any medicinal value to me.
The butane extraction sounds interesting, i havent heard of doing that with abv just fresh flowers. I am getting close to the 1 oz of abv i was shooting for to begin extraction and researching the best method to use.
I too don't get the full profits with edibles. I can get high from them tough, but I have to eat more as my friends, and at least eat way more as what I would need to get high if I am vaping or smoking it. also I need to be around at least 1 friend, if I eat edibles by myself I can barely distinguish a faint effect, twothird that dosage but with a friend I was really high
so if I do make edibles it's more for friends than myself, I prefer just vaping it but sometimes, especially before birthdays, some friends start asking me if I will bring edibles. if I have enough weed that I don't mind using for it, I will
one pf the cons of edibles for me is that there is a certain point where it becomes hard to get away, I don't know why, at first it tastes good, I don't taste any weedtaste(while friends report it tastes strongly like weed), that at some point it will become hard to swallow, it still tastes the same but somehow I don't like the taste anymore, and it becomes a chore to get more of the edible down my throat.
it's a bit similar to meat that won't se[erate into smaller pieces when chewed, and you have to eventually swallow it as larger masses. the first chunk you swallow easily, but each chunk after that becomes harder to swallow, it just won't go down. that's about the same as I get with edibles, and at the same time I will also feel full
but the amount that I need for a good high from edibles is past this point, so I always have to get it down my throat to get high from it. while with vaping I enjoy the experience itself, not just the high. even combustion is nice as an experience eventough it also hurts my throat
