    At one point I did an improvised extraction of THC into olive oil. I significantly underestimated what 0.5g of weed contains when the majority is not wasted by burning it.

      THC affects you much differently when it’s metabolized by the liver first, instead of going directly into the blood stream.

          Edible thc is actually metabolized into a different kind of cannabinoid so instead of regular thc , you end up with 11-delta-9 thc, also called THC-COOH I think this particular form of thc is a stronger activaitor of your CB1 (cannabinoid) and CB2 receptors. This resulted in a more prolonged an intense effect all thanks to your liver.

      That was my first time with weed. Wife did a extraction and then we both split it on ice cream. We ended up almost unconscious and puking everywhere. Took me a year to try again.

      I guess i should try that again… ive done butter and coconut oil extractions, neither did shit for me.

      But then again I’ve only had potent weed gummies work for me one time ever, and that was 100mg, a dose that is both expensive and no longer does the job. I take 5mg for sleep sometimes and that works but I dont get anything fun out of any of it. I keep hearing stories of people being knocked on their ass and I want that!

        I did butter last year with some of my homegrown. Couched 3 of my 4 testers (friends) with one saying that they were feeling it the next day, me? Nah bro I wasted a chocolate chip cookie by eating it.
