Nah, they're all homemade and it doesn't seem to matter what specific form they take, brownies, cookies, etc. I'm wondering if it's not the THC content specifically. It might just be too much in a single dose and then sitting in my gut for too long.

My friends have tried my edibles and described them as an "emotional experience" so they're strong as gently caress for people who don't use daily.

How would one go about measuring the potency of a homemade edible anyway?

What's the common ingredient? Butter? Oil?

As others have mentioned, if you know the % in the weed you started with it's simple. 1g = 1000mg. if weed has 20% thc then of that 1000mg of whole pot, 200mg will be thc. I'll even account for 2yr old weed and knock off 25% of the potency when I'm ballparking my edibles

But then there'd be no weed in them????? I know I can eat butter, so taking it out of food to see if it still affects me doesn't really make sense.

I made my last batch with 3g of Pure Michigan, which on Leafly is stated to be 29% THC. So assuming a maximum yield in my butter would be 870mg of THC. Assuming that was evenly distributed across my cookies, they'd be 48mg per cookie. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the number is probably much less than that between butter loss (as in, butter that sticks to the side of the pan and never makes it into the batter), batter loss, and failing to reach a maximum yield.

for sure, also factor in that your baking temp is above 292degrees F (the vaporization point of THC,) whether you decarb first or not, to what degree do you break up the nugs to reveal surface area, and if you strain the plant matter and discard it opting for just using the butter, there's a lot of inefficiencies. I add the plant matter to my edibles. My take is there's no THC loss and I'm adding fiber. A ~90mg dose for me is one large bite of cookie so I'm not having to chew through a bag of grass clippings to get my dose.

you can still decarb weed at lower temps. used to make all my weed butter by boiling water with butter and weed then freezing it and you extract the butter cap. totally not a great method but it does decarb the weed, just takes forever.

I've got 2-3 grams of AVB sitting in a jar of cacique. in 3 weeks I will strain into an old dropper bottle that used to have CBD oil.

This AVB is a mix of regular weed and like, CBD only hemp. So, it won't be very potent, I imagine. But, We'll see!

The hardest part about reading this thread is trying to figure out what the gently caress an ounce of weed is. I can easily picture a gram because I live in a real country that uses metric and that's how it's sold but I don't know what an ounce of anything looks like.

I remember a local dispensary had a 5g eighths special on specific days. . It was basically "gently caress measurement standards, we're giving a tad more today"

also every dispensary i bought from measure in grams regardless. if budtenders are weighing what they grabbed on a scale in front of you, the display shows grams and not ounces.

Neat!

Ive been finding bulk buying to be the way to go in :canada: now that its legal. I just reupped and have got 6oz on the way to me now shipped to my door for $25 an oz. Basically anything that tests ~18% seems to just get tossed out to make the expense back or something because its all been decent and I've been getting the same thing for like a year now. Usually come with a couple free joints even. The free flow of weed has gotten kinda ridiculous and I am more than happy to do my part.

yeah, if you've got legal weed and you're not a heavy duty smoker, buying "lower THC weed" is the way. THC % isn't what makes or breaks a high, it's the terpene profile and other cannabinoids that make each high unique. So if you don't smoke a lot, Boveda humidity pack + cheap flower ounce in a canning jar will set you straight for a while

these things loving own, you can buy like 1+ year old flower that's drier than the Mojave desert, throw one of those into a sealed jar w/ the flower, come back 2 days later and you have perfectly fresh bud. It's WILD that this isn't more common in those pre-sealed jars and poo poo

It's a great method if you want to concentrate a ton of trim/abv into a small amount of butter efficiently and have the end result taste incredibly neutral. You can cram in multiple ounces of trim per tablespoon of butter, get almost all of the butter back without a ton of squeezing and make it taste like nothing in the final product.

Alternative that I find also works for short term rescue: break a q-tip in half, dip it in water, and tape it to the underside of your airtight jar. Let it sit for a day.

This is so true I feel like I have weed ptsd. The amount of garbage rear end weed I’ve smoked, the resin with metal shards I’ve scraped out of pipes, the times my friends or I got sold some absolutely fake rear end bullshit, it’s crazy.

I do kind of miss the missions, when it was successful it was fun. Random middle of the night encounters with someone on the street in nyc that ended up in a weed purchase were awesome. I’d trade silly stories for reliable good weed though, goddamn some of that poo poo sucked
