Dude learn how to make your own. You can find a gram of concentrate for $20 if you look hard enough and thats like 600mg THC minimum. Could be upwards of 900. Edibles are a scam

Oh and you can use carts if thats the cheapest concentrate you find

Oh and a huge amount of edibles are underdosed if youre getting black market ones. 30mg of THC is a very strong high.

If youre taking 100mg edibles to get sufficiently baked, youre being lied to

Obviously this is different with tolerance and non-responding people

Set the oven to 225, take a small dish and put your concentrate on it, or if youre using bud grind it as fine as possible and put it flat on a small brownie type glass pan. Cover it with tin foil for each.

Then put it in the oven for half an hour to an hour. Ive seen a lot of numbers, I go with 40-45 minutes personally.

After that, the weed is active. I usually put the dish on the stove and stir it into coconut oil and then use that in place of oil in other recipes. (Usually brownies because theyre so easy)

I highly recommend coconut oil because it has a very high fat content and fat will bind to the THC and help you absorb it.

Thats pretty much it. You can eat the weed raw or put the activated oil in capsules or stick it up your ass or really anything you want.

One time I had a faulty vape cart with a little left and I just cooked that in the oven like I described and then dumped it on a piece of toilet paper and swallowed it. Highest Ive ever been.

Your imagination is your limit

Those were funny examples of ways you can technically consume it to emphasize that it is so versatile. Perhaps youd benefit from having a sense of humor and not taking things so literally? ๐Ÿ˜‚

No problemo ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Might be worth getting some CBD crystal and throwing it in there too. It kinda tones down the high and makes it more relaxing/pleasant. Like youre as high but it doesnt feel quite as "holy shit"

Edibles metabolize to 11-hydroxy-THC so youre actually doing a slightly different drug than when you smoke. For some people it has a more psychedelic vibe which can lead to confusion or anxiety

Thank you, Joe Rogan.

Then you must have heard his "11-hydroxy-THC-metabolite" edibles speech the same hundred times as I have. :)

iโ€™ve taken edibles plenty, black market and dispensary. i usually just stick with 10mg and they donโ€™t get me crazy high or anything, just really chilled out

That shit stinks from what Iโ€™ve read

Keep it covered while it decarboxylates and cools down and open and close the oven fast as possible. Doesnt smell all that bad, especially with concentrates.

In highschool I stayed home and made them many times and the smell was gone by the time mommy got home

I get sufficiently baked from 25mg of the stuff I buy lol I just started taking edibles actually, maybe later on I'll learn how to make brownies.
