Cooking The Power of Brownies...

[Probing Tranquility]

SWIM and his buddy made a pretty decent batch of brownies using around 30 grams of some decent swag in an 8 inch by 8 inch pan. After the brownies were done cooking SWIM crushed up 2 heath bars into smaller chunks and put them ontop of the brownies then put on some chocolate frosting. SWIM ate half the pan and was high for most of the next day. SWIM cooks the weed in vegetable oil to get the thc into the oil so there is no weed chunks in the brownies. Does SWIY cook the weed in oil or put the weed into the brownie mix?

Jesus? Are you trying to say that SwiY had 15 grams of weed? you did say half the pan with 30 grams in it... If thats true.. wow... The most SWIS has ever consumed at once was 1.2 grams and that got him fucking high... fifteen grams wow... that being said SWIY makes Can-butter first and then uses it.

SWIM ended up not being able to stand up very easily and at about the 5 hour mark he ended up passing out in his bed. Those were some weird ass dreams. Whenever SWIM or his buddies make brownies we always use more that a half ounce, usually we make a pan for 4 or more people with a QP.

That's a ridiculously heavy amount, don't you think?

Yeah, it is alot but thats whats special about them to SWIM. If SWIM wants to get high he'll smoke some good weed, if he wants to get so high he feels like he's melting into the sofa then some powerful brownies are in order. SWIM always saves the shake from large amounts of swag so it doesn't really cost anything.

yeah, to each his own, SWIM just takes other drugs when he wants to get really gone, like lsd or something... and just uses weed every day to sort of mellow out yano... not like to trip out... I'm sure it feels great though... SWIM's been thinking about trying it for a while... might take a page from SWIY's book an throw a half-O in there.

In SWIM's area there aren't to many drugs to actually take you into a different world. SWIM has never had any hallucinations off of weed. SWIM would love to get his hands on some acid, he has been trying to find it for 4-5 years now. As far as tripping goes there's only shrooms around and then only 1 or 2 bags. SWIM would like to try making some weed brownies and then grinding up mushrooms on top and then cover with frosting, sounds fun anyways.

Should try cannabutter instead of oil next time, with some dank. Should not take much at all, assumeing the extraction goes as plan.

SWIM was mistaken, instead of vegetable oil we used canola oil. SWIM will have to try with cannabutter.

No offense, but in SWIMs humble opinion that sounds like a massive waste of money. I guess we can't discuss prices here, but suffice to say SWIM lives in seattle where the weed is relatively cheap and good. Using 15g of weed at once, even shwag, would still cost a relative fortune. SWIM's friend in high school was a dealer and made 0.9-1.2g brownies with mid grade weed and everyone who tried them (SWIM included) got STONED for a day. And we're not just talking newbies. SWIM made some brownies for 4/20 this year with similar dosages and gave them to experienced potheads, and they were all incredibly high.

Even when SWIM was smoking upwards of 2 grams of chronic shit every day for a month, a brownie with a gram of decent stuff in it would still get him very high. Tolerance to oral weed is definately at least partially independent from tolerance to smoked weed. SWIM's dealer friend did start to get much less high after eating brownies every day, while others smoking similar amouts continued to get high. So that might be part of it if you're doing this often. It might also be the quality of the weed, even the "shwag" here isn't bad by some standards, like the US midwest or south.

If you really think it's worth using that much then go for it I guess. But try a much smaller dose if you haven't already and see what you think. SWIM actually has experienced partial "trips" from brownies, especially when smoking large amounts while under the influence, though it's very different from those of traditional hallucinogens.. The long duration and different, more physical/trippy, nature of oral weed lends itself to other polydrug use as well. Try opiates sometime if you have them around, SWIM also had fun combining mescaline with brownies once. As for prep SWIM usually simmers the weed in oil and then refrigerates and uses the resulting butter as directed in the brownie recipe, simple and works well. Brownies are definately really different than smoked weed and worth making despite the higher price, but SWIM would recommend a vastly smaller amount of weed than what you're discussing.

SWIM and his buddy didn't spend any money on weed for the brownies, it was all technically "free" weed.

both, swim once put like 7 grams of high quality Green Spirit strain weed into a batch. Swim put both the weed and the oil into it (after heated in it of course), can't be missing much there. Out of a total of 8 brownies, 2 were eaten as well as whatever leftover weed and oil had been eaten, and smoking a bowl... swim found himself lying on the ground staring at the room spinning for a good 3 hours, doing nothing but an overload, then finally moving to the bed and passing out.
