I don't understand the appeal to making butter instead of oil. What's the benefit? Just to store for later?
I have my excess butter in the freezer. It's a better vessel for baking I think. I can put it on or in my pancakes. Or Hollandaise. I think it's slightly more versatile. The only time I can truly think of oil as better is if I wanted to make a weed vinaigrette. Infused olive oil could be a base for a nice salad or dish with fish or anything you might dress with a vinaigrette.
I guess I could see that for your purposes since you're a chef, haha. I'm usually just focused on getting higher than normally when I make edibles
Alright, so I'm applying/interviewing for jobs rn, but I've got this whole year left of school so I wouldn't start until next July. I'm worried about getting drug tested after receiving an offer, anyone know how that shit works? How long should I give myself before the potential test?
the brownie smell overpowered for me when i was baking, if you ventilate and/or cook and/or spray scent you'll have the smell out of the house by the end of the day. it's not as "deep sitting" as smoking is. a little easier to store since it's solid and i find it easier to substitute into recipes weed takes about a month to filter through your system for urine tests. maybe a bit less if you exercise a good amount, drink/pee a lot, and have a decent metabolism. hair tests are longer, i would say 6 months to a year? but usually only really uptight places do hair test afaik. i'm gonna be applying mid december so i plan to give myself two months
this really depends on a person's metabolism and the frequency they smoke. so lets say a person smokes one time, for the first time. it would probably be in their system for around 3-4 days. if they smoke again the next day, add another 3-4 to that, and so on. thats the rule i've gone by anyways. my metabolism is pretty high, but i've been able to smoke like a couple times a month and still pass a drug test within 3 days notice. one time i passed one when smoking the night before. to be safe, just don't smoke a lot, and the week before the test, drink a lot of juice/water. also, its best to pee once or twice in the morning on the day of the test, because morning pee is the dirtiest.
Thanks for all the advice everyone. The only problem is i don't know if Ill actually have a test and even if I do it could be as late as May. Weird situation
i've been there a few times. like i said, frequency matters a lot. if you only smoke for recreation and not medicinal, and cool with cutting out for 3 months, go with that. or if you cut it out for like 3 months, then say smoke once a week, you should still be able to clear it all out within 48 hours. if you do use it medicinally, try to start cutting back now. reducing in frequency of use is a really big help. i've only taken 4 drug tests in my life and have passed all of them by just cutting back. i use it medicinally so its harder for me to just cut it out completely.
ok I've never heard of this "firecracker" business but color me intrigued. The peanut butter can't have hydrogenated oil in it?? will it catch fire or something lol confusedddd the only time I've ever made edibles myself was back in 2010 and I didn't even really have a smart phone/computer so googling things was a lot different back then The way that I did it was probably actually terrible for you but well it got the job done. I'm NOT recommending this to anyone lmao but this was the easiest way we could find back then- you basically make a weed ball by putting it in the foot of (new) pantyhose and cutting and tying it off. Then you put the ball in butter and let simmer for hours. I can't remember how long we did it but I wanna say it was at least 3 hours. Then you take the ball out and squeeze as much as possible. The panty hose keeps the bud contained so you just have butter. However I'm sure pantyhose isnt good to cook with?? I mean duh??? ahh, to be 18 again....
yeah, it's something about the hydrogenated oil that it won't bind to it. Your pantyhose/butter method is legit though. I'd probably use cheesecloth rather than pantyhose, but same idea.
yeah thats where the idea comes from. We were young and didn't know what cheesecloth was or where to buy it lol so one link said pantyhose and we were like ok thats easy to obtain at the last minute Because oh yeah we decided we wanted to do this spur of the moment on 4/20 (naturally, and cliche)
lol nice tho live that life. i'm fucking baked rn and i feel like i'm living in a weird genre of like childhood christian propaganda sci fi novels that we would get as kids. and i just want my cat to come back to the room but i'm gonna go wander and look for her haha
this is so wild i love hearing stories about people wanting to get high and just making due with what they've got and then succeeding haha
Here's a good one. I was like 18. Had no clue what I was doing. Tried to make butter. I simmered bud I ground up in butter and my plan was to make popcorn and pour the butter over the kernels haha. Things seemed to be going well. I simmered the bud on low for 30 minutes or so. I popped the corn. Then I put a strainer over the popcorn and began pouring the bud & butter mixture into the popcorn. One minor problem. The strainer was made of very cheap plastic. It melted into the popcorn along with the butter and the bud. Also, even if that worked... it would have tasted so so bad hahaha.
I would've been devastated haha. The idea of butter and being able to put it on basically anything makes it so that I should be more interested in making it than I am
I make large batches when I do and then freeze the rest. Then you can use it whenever you want. It makes the process less daunting to think: okay, I have two batches of brownies here or whatever I want to do, but only go through the process of extracting the THC just once.
just ate a waffle that i applied a generous serving of cannabutter to. so good. gonna play video games until it kicks in then finish the new season of Bojack.
