OK my wife and i have never partaken of weed. But we would like to try. Nether of us smoke so brownies seem like the best thing to work with.

Anyone have a good recipe?

If this is in the wrong place or not allowed , my bad no feelings hurt over a move or delete. If its a repost please let me know the thread.

thanks a bunch.

snicka · 08-18-2003, 02:45 PM

honestly they taste like shit. get a good bong or hookah. With a nice big bong you will get wasted on one big draw, and the smoke is cooled by the water so it is nice on your throat.

mrquackers · 08-18-2003, 05:13 PM

Didn't try 'em myself, but if you go to Amsterdam, most coffee shops sell "space cake" which is more powerful than the brownies and supposedly better tasting.

Or, if you'd like, some places have pot milkshakes.

Slims · 08-18-2003, 05:31 PM

Well, first off, don't waste money using expensive pot. Since you guys dont' know what's what, and you might get cheated, have a friend who smokes buy the weed for you.

Buy a quarter oz of schwag, it should probably cost about 40-45 dollars. Then go through it by hand and break everything up into nice, little pieces, and crush the seeds.

After that, you might want to fry the weed in the butter that you will be making the brownies with, and then mix the butter/weed into the mix and bake like normal.

Eat them on an empty stomach, and give them time to kick in. If nothing happens after a half hour or so, eat a couple more

dudemac · 08-18-2003, 06:43 PM

thanks greg i will give it a shot, a buddy of mine smokes all the time, but never tried the brownies.

Pellaz · 08-19-2003, 11:39 AM

yup, just make sure it's all small, with no stems. Sautee it in butter, which helps to soften it up. Be careful when eating. Ingesting in this manner will take longer to 'kick in', so you don't want to keep eating them until you feel something, you'll want to stop before that. Here's a great brownie recipe to boot:

4 large eggs
1 cup sugar, sifted
1 cup brown sugar, sifted
8 ounces melted butter
11/4 cups cocoa, sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean.

by far my favorite brownie recipe

snicka · 08-19-2003, 01:20 PM

Has anyone ever tried Hi-Brew (weed beer). I have seen several recipies for it but have yet to try it.

Locobot · 08-19-2003, 05:27 PM

DO NOT cook the butter/ganja over direct heat. This will burn the weed making it impotent and it will taste like shit. You'll need to devise a simple double boiler for this purpose. Many pots come with a steamer tray insert. If you have one of these simply fill the pot with water above the level of the steamer tray. In another smaller pot mix the ground-up weed and the butter and set it in the larger pot. This way the butter/weed never comes into direct contact with the heat, only boiling water. You'll need to cook it like this for at least 20 minutes. Do not burn the ganja!

You don't need to make the brownies from scratch either. Just buy a boxed brownie mix and substitute your ganja/butter mix for the vegetable oil it asks for. Use slightly more unsalted butter (add a tbsp or two) than the recipe calls for, some of it will be cooked off/absorbed by the weed. Use at least 1/8 oz. of the cheap schwaggy stuff.

This is probably the least economical way to experience mary jane, but it can be one of the most fun. If you've never smoked or at all been high before you won't get much out of it your first few times. I recommend buying a cheap one-hitter or bowl and trying smoking a few times first.

kalashnikov · 08-20-2003, 08:55 AM

Hmm...you get high and cure your munchies craving all in one go. Not bad. Call me old fashioned but I still prefer smoking the stuff.

Cynthetiq · 08-20-2003, 12:48 PM

crock pots work great....I also used cheesecloth to strain and squeeze out the butter... don't try to use the leaves... okay.. use them along with other herbs and make a rub... it's more of a novelty than actual THC carrier, but still. Have a roast and then some brownies for desert.

plummie says don't burn it.. it's true... low low heat...

Making Bud Butter
Melt one pound of butter in a pan. Mix 60-70 (or more grams of thoroughly sifted
pot in it. Let it boil carefully a couple of minutes until the butter has
gotten a green color from the grass. Then squeeze the butter through a fine
strainer. While you use the strain, keep the leaves away in a corner of the
pan by using a spoon. Squeeze hard to get out as much of the butter as possible. Cooking time varies from 10-15 mins to 8 hours at a low simmer. Experiment yourself!

messy · 03-09-2004, 04:24 PM

I'm thinking of making some of these things this weekend and came across this recipe:

"Alright, this is THE absolute best way to make pot brownies, but it takes some time... alright, get yourself an 8th of the dankest shit you can afford (if you're using shwag get yourself a .5oz) Measure out the oil called for in the brownie mix, pour it in a glass jar, take out seeds/stems and chop the weed as finely as you can and put it in the oil) boil water on the stove and put the jar with the oil in it in the boiling water (DO NOT POUR THE OIL INTO THE WATER, put the whole jar w/ the oil in it in the boiling water) boil for 1 hour, (this releases the THC into the oil and keeps the weed from burning) after it has boiled for an hour, follow the brownie directions on the box using the oil with the weed in it (repeat, leave the weed in the oil) enjoy!"

It sounds like a reasonable idea. What do you all think?

And I found this while searching. How about a little science?...

Quote:

For patients concerned with the possibility that smoking medical marijuana may have harmful effects on the lungs, and for those who require a greater dose of medicinal compounds, oral ingestion of marijuana is the preferred method. However, some patients have had unstable or unsuitable results. This simple explanation should help clear the smoke for medical marijuana users.

When marijuana is eaten rather than smoked, the human liver produces natural cannabinoid metabolites that enter the bloodstream, creating a stronger effect than when cannabis smoke is absorbed by the lungs. The common technique of baking marijuana in brownies or other foods is effective, but unpredictable. The medicinal cannabis compounds are melted into the food during cooking, so the body's absorption of these compounds is slowed by the digestion of the food. Also, the dispersion of medicinal compounds in cooked food is not always uniform. Therefore, the optimum medicinal benefits are easier to predict and manage when marijuana is cooked with olive oil and packed into gelatin capsules.

THC, the most powerful medicinal compound in cannabis, is available by prescription from licensed physicians. But most patients who try Marinol discover that it is far too psychoactive. THC is only one of a handful of cannabis compound that work together harmoniously. For example, it is known that cannabidiol (CBD) has sedative effects that offset the stimulative effects of pure THC. That is why pure THC pills are too strong. In order to get the optimum medicinal benefits without unwanted side-effects, all of the natural cannabis compounds should be taken together. Thus these "Mari pills" are far superior to pharmaceutical Marinol. Plus, at a cost of up to $12 per tablet, Marinol is much more expensive than pills made from the natural plant.

Commonly, patients use marijuana leaf for cooking and flower tops (buds)
for smoking. This practice is often based on frugality, as marijuana
leaf is usually too harsh to smoke. But, as explained above, cannabinoid
compounds such as CBD are more of a sedative than a stimulant, and because
marijuana leaves usually contain a higher percentage of CBD than THC,
eating leaf can make one especially drowsy. So, this recipe calls for
the use of quality cannabis buds and leaves mixed together. Patients
can experiment with different quantities of bud versus leaf to discover
the ratio that works best for their conditions.

One of the drawbacks of eating marijuana leaf is the common complaint
of stomach irritation. The topside of cannabis leaves are coated with
thousands of microscopic thorns, and these sometimes cause minor intestinal
irritation, even after grinding. For some patients, the use of leaf
in Mari Pills is not tolerable, and in such cases, the use of buds alone,
without the addition of leaf, is preferred. Note: the small leaves
found in the marijuana flower tops are not as difficult to digest as
the large "fan" leaves that grow from the stems. Also, the small bud
leaves are far more potent than the larger leaves required for photosynthesis.
As a general rule, plant material closest to the flower tops is also
closest to the plant's resin glands, and therefore has the greatest
amount of medicinal compounds.

The ratio of bud versus leaf used in these pills affects the values
of the recipe, I.E.: leaf tends to grind down to a more powdery consistency
than bud, and leaf tends to absorb less oil than does bud, and so the
exact details of this variation must be determined by personal experience.
The quantities recorded below will fluctuate with differences in the
type of marijuana used.

Especially for those with tender digestion, all marijuana must be ground
to a fine consistency before cooking. A new coffee grinder that does
not contain coffee residue is preferred. First, using scissors or by
hand, remove as much of the stem material as possible. Stems have NO
medicinal value. Eating hemp stalk is sure to irritate the stomach,
and has absolutely no medical benefit. If the marijuana contains seeds,
they may be included, as hemp seeds are highly nutritious, but again,
they do not contain THC, CBD, or any of the other medicinal compounds
found in Marijuana. Cleaning the cannabis can be the most time-consuming
part of this process. Experimentation will determine the acceptable
amount of cleaning desired before grinding.

The process is simple: cannabis compounds are oil-based and do not mix
with water, but they boil at 392 degrees F. Cannabis compounds bond
with fatty compounds when heated to about 325 degrees. The best results
are obtained with olive oil containing 22% fat.

One half ounce of dried and cleaned marijuana ground to fine powder
in a small coffee grinder equals about one half cup of powdered pot.
Set the half-cup of powdered pot by the stove. Use a Pyrex cooking cup
(two-cup measure) or small saucepan. Add 3 or 4 tablespoons of pure
olive oil. Set burner on medium, and use a candy thermometer (up to
400 degrees) to bring the oil to a temperature of 350 degrees. Remove
from stove, and wait a moment until the temperature begins to fall.
Then add the entire half-cup of powdered pot all at once. The oil will
sizzle slightly as the reaction takes place. Stir thoroughly, making
sure that the powder and oil are completely mixed. (Do not usethermometer
for stirring. Broken glass is not a medicinal compound.) If the mixture
is not pasty, then carefully add more pot or oil. (Too much oil makes
messy pills-too little, and the pot will burn instead of bonding to
the oil.) Mix thoroughly, then return to burner on medium heat. Watch
the temperature. Continue mixing until the paste looks more oily at
about 325 degrees. Those who have tried non-smoking marijuana vaporizers
will recognize the smell of vapor trails that rise at about 325. As
soon as the vapor appears, (325 degrees) remove from heat and mix together.
Let the paste cool below 100 degrees before packing into gelatin capsules
using standard herbal gel cap machines available at most health food
stores. This recipe makes about 50 of the large size pills. Common doses
are in the range of 2 to 5 pills, depending on the quality of the marijuana
used. Note: do not use vegetarian gel caps that melt from exposure to
olive oil.

That pill recipe looks pretty interesting. I'd be interested to hear if anyone's had success with it. Also the one with the oil and pot in a jar sounds interesting. Let us know how it turns out if you try it.

I've made some brownies before with great success. All we did was grind up the bud really fine, then cook it on the stove for awhile with some oil and then threw that into the brownie mix.

After we ate one, we waited for 45 min and felt nothing so we each had another. A full day later I finally felt normal again. After the first foray with two brownies each we pared back the dosage and got the desired result.

theemaan · 03-14-2004, 02:51 PM

We have had the best luck using the blender to grind up the herb.
Be aware it will sometimes take 3 hours to feel the full effect so if you haven't smoked before be cautious --if it is strong weed it can make you sick or cause you to pass out if you take too much.Starting slow is always a safe route.

Along the lines of the pill-- a few years back they used to make oil pills with a isomizer. If you try this be prepared to be groggy for a couple of days.

Enjoy--I started 35 years ago and I ain't dead yet

splck · 03-16-2004, 10:44 PM

Like already stated, don't over heat the butter-weed mix. You just need it to be warmed so it's melted, rather than cooking it.

Instead of brownies you can use pound cake...this will make the "space cake" that was already mentioned.

It will kick in faster on an empty stomach and last longer on a full one.

Truer words were never, ever spoken. Pot smoke goes right from your lungs into your bloodstream, but eaten-and-chewed pot takes a lot longer to absorb from the stomach (the vegetable matter has to be digested first). If you're used to a quick high, you'll eat one brownie, wait five minutes and, when nothing happens, figure you got a bad one and eat _another_ one.

15 minutes later, they _both_ hit. Like a sledgehammer. Suddenly, tying your shoes becomes a complex and unattainable skill.
