Edibles dosing

[midlifegardner]

All, I've been wondering this for a while. I vape or smoke an amount of cannabis. I'm fine and happy with how I feel. With edibles, will let's say cooking up some butter give me the same effect? Is that a good way to determine how much I should be using to cook with or spread on my toast?!

Edibles can either rock you or not, in most cases I find it rocks me to shit.

 

Sorry can’t help in dosage in that sense as well as the buzz is completely different. Best is to have a free day and then experiment. It can also depend on the amount of butter your mixing with as well as if its buds or trim etc

In all things I reckon it is an art. There was a thread on here with recipes good place to start.

Cheers baked, I did see that thread just didn't see mention about dosing. I've had edibles ages ago and yeah it's different and I'd say more fun. For me it came on quite gradually. I need to find that free day MLG

edibles travel a diff path though the body & the reason a heavy smoker can be hit hard with a low dose edibles

look up 11 hydroxy thc , which is what thc is converting to when consumed as a edible , 5 to 10 x stronger than delta 9 thc  

 

without testing it's hard to know what / how much is being consumed 

 

if you turn some bud into extracted oil with grain alcohol , the amount 

you extract after alcohol evaporation  , lets say is 5g , you can use that as your dosing , 1 part 5g to 3 part 15g of coconut oil 

would give you a 25mg dose with 75mg of coconut oil in a canna cap let say  

 

1 part 5g to 2 part c oil = 33mg dose 

1 part 5g to 1 part c oil = 50mg does 

 

of cause this does not answer how much you can consume but will give you a rough idea of you & how much is too much through trial & error

Thanks Itchy, some good info there. At the moment I'm not confident enough to try what you've suggest so I'll stick to canna butter I think. I remember many years ago trying canna butter with just some trim thinking it would be a pointless exercise... Boy I was wrong!

i have these https://ardentcannabis.com/products/nova-decarboxylator-220v/ & https://magicalbutter.com/

& the alcohol = expensive https://www.liquorworld.com.au/product/polmos-spirytus-rektykiowany-rectified-spirit-polish-pure-spirit-vodka-500ml/

 

once you've extracted = after the magical butter machine , put the canna oil & alcohol in a glass container & evaporate slow / room temp 

 

to get the last of the alcohol out , freeze it , the oil will go hard , the alcohol won't freeze & can be cleaned off

with a razor blade , scrape up the hard oil & turn the hard lump of oil upside down & put back in the freezer

 

at some point after you do that a couple times , you won't see any liquid coming out of the oil 

then it's ready to mix easily into a oil or fat based carrier , once like that , there's no heat required

to mix the 2 together , apart from the heat needed to turn coconut oil or butter to a liquid

Thanks Itchy. I'll have a proper read tonight. MLG

Unfortunatly without knowing your starting THC/CBD content theres no way of knowing exact figures for dosing. Only through trial and error will you know what to expect with a specific amount of butter or oil, but if you use a different strain youll need to start at square 1 again due to different THC/CBD profiles of different plants.

Eating has been a way more psychedelic experience than smoking. Don't expect a "same effect", i have found higher sides to almost feel closer to mushrooms than weed
