    it needs to be heated to a certain degree to activate the THC. and i think it’s supposed to go into a lipid

      It doesn’t need to go into a lipid. You can just put like an eighth of weed into some tinfoil in the oven, bake it and then throw it into a coffee grinder and stir it into chocolate.

      Chocolate will get you totally toasted, but your shit will smell like weed the next day.

          It depends on how well you seal the foil. It’s going to smell like Snoops crib for at least an hour. But it goes away quicker than any other edible I have made.

        If you’re particularly lazy and want to check how a plant is doing you can even just microwave to activate it. put it in a glass cup with a damp paper towl under it, cover with a second damp paper towl, cover in plastic wrap except a small gap like you’re making a microwave dinner. Cook for a minute at a time on 20-30% power and let the steam release between cooks. Do that 2-3 times then remove nug from container and let it sit a few minutes on a plate or something.

          Or pour it on your tongue and wash it down with water, up to you. You don’t need anything else, but it’s going to be hard to choke down without mixing it in something.

            1. I just thought it was funny that you claimed that you don’t need to mix weed with fat, then immediately suggested a recipe mixing weed with fat

            2. Trying to eat weed without mixing it with a fat would be not only unpleasant flavor-wise, it would be a huge waste of weed. The compounds in weed that get you high are much more bioavailable when they’re in the presence of fats. So, loosely speaking, you kinda do need to mix it with fat if you’re gonna eat it, unless you’re okay with large amounts of wasted weed and money

          I am wondering about distillates/concentrates, personally. Many of them are edible as is, as they got decarboxylated during extraction using a hot method instead of a cold one. Do they have any fats in them? You don’t need to put them in something with fat; you can put it in tea or just eat the goo by itself (it’s kinda gross but you can do it and get high). I’ve made live resin myself a few times using a hot press, and I did not add anything extra to have decent smokable stuff, but I never tried to eat it and I don’t know if the shit you get at a dispensary in a cart or glass tin is just the pure goo from the plant any nothing else, or if they mix it with stuff.

        Cool, yeah, that makes sense. I guess that’s why AVB works too (eating the leftover buds after vaping). Gotta be careful with it though cuz the dosage can really be a wide range.

      Your correct, that’s why if you wanna make weed food, you just make weed butter and use it where you want.

      fry egg in butter

      sear steak in butter

      butter in coffee

      blt w/ bacon cooked in butter, or buttered toast as bread, or both

      you could use other lipids like oils as well, or w/e vegan lipid as to not use an animal product, but its super easy to use butter anywhere

      endless options

        First time I ever ate weed a friend of mine took my birthday nuggs and ground them up and put the weed in a pan with some butter then drained it in to a shot glass with honey and gave it a little nuke to soften everything up. Considering how makeshift it was and the gross little bits of leaf getting caught in your mouth it was surprisingly good, the actual weed component of it made the whole thing taste a little like crunchy nut cereal with an oddly herbaceous element to it. Having seen how you’re supposed to make weed butter properly in the time since, it’s surprising that this worked so well but my god I was high as a kite, it was amazing. Don’t know if, given the pretty brief time spent on heat with the butter, maybe it was necessary to actually eat the weed itself rather than strain it, wouldn’t recommend that if can be avoided but then again this was all ready in under 10 minutes.

          As far as im aware the leaf floating around does nothing, any thc inside of it cant be digested properly as it hasnt combined with a lipid, but im also not a weed smoker so im the least qualified to talk on this, shit gives me anxiety lol
