I'm gathering a bunch of ABV to make some peanut butter cookies and wanted to calibrate how strong they are using the firecracker method.
Here's my literal notes from last night, plus some comments at the end. I ate the firecrackers after the finale of lost.
4 firecrackers each consisting of 250 mg ABV, 2 ritz crackers, peanut butter and nutella. Not cooked. Eaten at 10:30pm
May 23/10
10:30 pm CST ate 4 firecrackers. Abv came from 60% LB, 25% E3, 15% IO
10:45 pm CST t+ 0:15 no effects
11:00 pm CST t+ 0:30 no effects
11:15vpm CST t+ 0:45 no effects
11:42 pm CST t+ 1:12 feeling slight body effects. Distinct vibration/waviness in shoulders, memory starting to be variable. Tiredness is prominent, but waxes and wanes. Joint pain is non existent.
11:46 pm CST t+ 1:16 Its kicked in. I feel like am in SpongeBobs world.
11:49 pm CST t+1:19 thoughts wandering all over the place
11:51 pm CST t+1:21 complete body stone. Shoulders and wrists feel as if they have no density.
11:54 pm CST t+1:24 A nice place to be in. Very relaxed, and rather tired (Im usually up until 4 or 5 am CST in the weekends), For me, 1g ABV seems about right. Definitely an Indica type of effect. Its really kinda cool being able to separate what I think of as Sativa from Indica. The cerebral effects are gone already, and it looks like a few hours or more of relaxation if I can stay awake. When I vape, it never gets to this state of anxiety reduction or tranquilizing leel. What I think of as the THC rush is very brief. This would be something to take about 90 minutes before boarding a plane.
Comments; I've used ground up weed, poorly prepared cannabutter and hash in edibles; with ABV I find I have to calibrate how much ABV I will get per dose to get the desired effect. I've had successful cannabutter cookies made with 0.5g bud per cookie, so knowing that I am a light weight vaper I figured 1.0g ABV would be similar, perhaps lighter on the THC but heavier on the CBD side of things. This was *far* less cerebral than vaping. I fell asleep ~12:15ish, and woke up around 3 am. Munchies were almost non existent. Once the Sativa rush was gone, it was a brutal unrelenting heaviness that was left behind. Did not feel normal until 12 noon next day.

(Oh yeah, I'd forgoten how ungodly sweet nutella is)
