Also, I'm going to try cooking for the first time. I'm going to attempt brownies. Of course I'm going to do a LOT of research of how and different recipes and what's best to use, but does anyone have any suggestions that I may not commonly find? I want to make these kind of special and probably as potent as I can get them because I'm baking them for my mom for her birthday. Does anyone have any suggestions at all?

Here's a good tip. Don't do this:

A couple weeks ago I ran out of bud and still had about 4 months until my next harvest came due. I wasn't too worried, just got out the trim leaves I'd been saving for about 3 years, chopped them to dust in the blender, added some acetone, double boiled it for about 10 minutes and filtered out the acetone through a coffee filter. I repeated this three times, then boiled the acetone down to pure hash oil, a nice black tar that covered a large glass baking pan about 1/4 inch to the bottom. I then cut the heat and decided to let the whole mess dry in the pan until morning, just to make sure all the acetone had evaporated. Then I hit the basement to listen to some tunes and dream about all the things I was going to do with all that hash.

Well, about that time my wife came home and saw a pan on the stove that someone had apparently burned something in and decided to clean up the mess.......

Long story short - I haven't cried that hard since I was a kid.

Holy crap that sucks!!! I would hope that my girlfriend would smell it and figure out what it was...

That should have been "4 weeks", not "4 months" but still. Its gonna be a long month. Can't even buy right now. Apparently there was a huge bust somewhere around here, some nut growing about 90 plants, and everyone panicked and trashed everything so its pretty damn dry right now. From what I hear the guy has a couple kids and will probably be doing some serious jail time. Gotta feel for him but 90 plants? I guess he thought he was safe because he has a medical grow license. (Like the feds care.) But 90 plants is some greedy shit.

Anyway, its a good character builder I guess. It was time to take a break for awhile anyway. I can do 4 weeks in my sleep :-)

Sorry for the off topic rant.

thx much for the post!

Thanks for the tip my friend. Let me pass on one safe recipe that I know of. Buy a pizza you make at home put at least 1 oz. (or a half if it is real strong) on a 12 inch pizza in the tomato sauce, cover completely with cheese cook at 350 for the time it tells you on the box usually 15-20 minutes. The cheese keeps it from going up in smoke and well, it has never failed for me. One thing, obviously the high is not instantaneous it takes at least an hour to start working on me, but it's usually very nice body stone for a long while. Plus you must follow all the weed clean up as suggested by the master chef. Peace

ive made some fantastic cakes in my time and strangely enough the effeccts of the cannabis it me much faster these days compared to when I first started to smoke/eat the stuff. if im going out to a gig or something, i usually take a brisk walk to the destination, consuming at least 1 or 2 cakes n the way. by the time i get there (no more than 30 minutes) i am completely barking! my tollerance level had become almost non exisent.
my husband says its great as it means im cheap to take out! anybody else had this experience? it also renders me stoned for hours. its great. if you havent cooked with it yet, its got 2 done!

does putting seeds in the batch actually make it unusable?

Not in my experience, I always strain out the plant matter after Im done cooking it so if the seeds are in with the plant matter while it is being cooked I dont see why it would be a problem. I wouldnt recommend eating the seeds though, cheesecloth or a coffee filter works great for straining. Also earlier in this thread it was stated that using schwag wont work. I have always cooked with the bs weed I get usually because using the good stuff is just to expensive. I have had great results with using schwag for my brownies and cannabutter. Though I have made more brownies than cannabutter. I just dont like the tase of the butter. I did add cinnamon and brown sugar once when making the butter and the taste was MUCH better!!

wow, I want to try out cooking with marijuana sometime in the near future. I have a job interview sometime in the next week or so and it sucks. I haven't smoked in three weeks and its seems like forever. 4:20 is only a little ways away and if I can't smoke, I am going to be f**king pissed!!!
