    whats the effects

    would it be best to have small nibbles then wait an hour or so then eat more as wanted/needed?

    if you eat enough for two spliffs ...you'll get an idea of whats what ...it can take anything up to an hour to kick in but usualy twenty mins.
    the effects are cannabis effects but if it's good gear it can be quite trippy ...quite psycadelic.
    if your an experienced smoker you can't realy go qrong.

    inhaling anything is no good for me

    and a spliff still contains tobacco (most of the time :razz: ) and i dont agree with tobacco even if it is mixed with weed!

    take iteasy then ...you might not feel it coming on ...you might just suddenly realise all's not as it should be!
    which can be a bit disturbibg.
    make sure your with people you like and know and trust and ...who have experience in these matters.
    if you find yourelf feeling anxious ...tell someone ...go for a walk with someone ...in the park or just about anywhere realy.
    stay away from your parents.
    you may well find yourself having fits of the giggles which is realy quite wonderful.

    you won't die ...you won't go crazy ...you won't be ill ...you won't become a thieving junky.
    though you may feel these things are about to happen.
    it is very interesting and usualy very rewarding when you discover that your own mind can do things you never knew it could.
    but ...a little at a time.

    like lying on the bathroom floor feeling very ill with your brains melting all over the floor but ...someone experienced or some nice tunes ...can bring you out of that quite easily ...and it's only a passing thing.

    Eating cannabis takes longer for it to take effect than normal cannabis. Usually 40 mins-hour! The effects are a lot more profound too...have fun!

    As long as you just eat small amounts to start with you should be fine. Maybe make some cakes without weed in them for in case you get the munchies too :thumb:

    it is nothing ...nothing like alcohol.
    even if you have a whitey it is quite easy to come out of it and carry on having fun ...and your only likely to have a whitey if you have to much.
    it's more like a journey ...a trip into parts of you ...where you have never been.
    your mind will be working in ways you have so far never known.
    you will still be able to function unlike alcohol where you start falling about and speaking gibberish.
    unlike alcohols loss of control and possible violence and injury.
    if you had never had alcohol and you were told the down sides of it it would sound quite scary.

    Cannabis is an introspective drug...you'll find yourself thinking on it, being more aware of sense around you whereas alcohol is the total opposite!

    When ingested, the active component THC (which to give it its initial title is delta-9-THC) is metabolised by the liver and becomes delta-11-thc, a compound thought to be significantly more psychoactive.

    In addition, it is thought that a greater amount of the actual THC is ingested when eating compared to smoking. The onset of effects is also typically longer, often delayed by up to an hour.

    The result of this is that, compared to smoking, you are ingesting comparatively more, of a considerably greater psychoactive substance who's effects vary in onset.

    In real terms this can be quite overwhelming, can last longer and could catch you off guard if you aren't ready for it. Have someone you trust at hand, preferably who isnt completely wrecked, and try to do it in a familiar place where you feel comfortable.

    im surpised noone has suggested cooking it in oil/butter first - it makes it a lot stronger and more efficient .. i cant remember the exact sciences behind it (a quick google should sort that) but it definatly does get you more fucked, not to mention you can subsitute your 'magic' butter/oil in foods that require it ;)

    No that is a myth, eating 'raw' weed has just the same effect!

    Cannabis is not a drug. It is a plant. It has cell walls that interupt the proper absorption when eaten raw. Cannabinoids are fat soluble and THC and other cannabinoids are stored in fat cells in the body for a long time, making urine testing mostly a test for cannabis. To break down the cell walls using fats like in cannabutter is called carboxylating.

    Cooked Too Hot/Cold - Another common mistake. "Simmer" means just that - not a boil, and especially with butter which gets really nasty when you overcook it. This is also part of the reason people eat their brownies and say it tastes ...

    Too cold is less drastic, it's fairly hard to do unless your burner dies. However although heat isn't really necessary to 'activate THC' as is so commonly thought, it is needed to create bonds between the fat and the THC, as well as move the liquids around so they combine.

    from http://www.marijuana.com/420/showthread.php?t=27124 .. ive read about heat being needed to 'activate' it elsewhere so thats probably where im kinda wrong

    but yea from expierence ive definatly definatly found it to make eating soapbar stonger

    Disolving it into fat (butter or oil) may make it come up quicker but it will not chemically change the THC at all, so its just a taste issue rather than a chemistry one.
