Thanks for that Schindler. This gets me started
Sadly, Too much sugary stuff in the mints.
Gotta think thru the size of a gummy needed with half a tablespoon of the tincture (20 mg).
That said, they seem to be assuming 9% thc yield from their bud, so easy to improve there, and using more than 7g of bud will concentrate further.
Forty, I think the tincture recipe assumes decarbed bud going in. The two hours of jar simmer are like simmering in crock pot with coconut oil.
Your point about shelf life is well taken - no thought given until now. I guess my plan would be to freeze the gummies and pull a few for the days events. Hopefully they won’t dissolve and grow fur in a day.
I’ve enough bud I can give an oz to Science, and can live with a batch or two of sadness in the quest for a sugar-free edible.
Thanks again
Edit to add - I too think “toasted weed” would an interesting ice cream flavor

If you want sugar free I think RSO is going to be your best bet. Erl in your coffee. Bobby Baker will want royalties.

On one hand everyone I know who makes edibles grossly over estimates their strength, but on the other, dude sorts sounds like he knows what he's talking about..

No judgement intended. There also seem to be people who are partially to fully immune to edibles and can consume amounts that would leave most people comatose. I haven't seen a good explanation for this but it's probably related to genetics and the liver enzymes that convert delta-9 to 11-hydroxy when THC is ingested.

well it is a guesstimate... but i think its fairly close
assumptions:
cured flower/no trim: 20% thc (prob a little high for outdoor, closer for indoor)
extraction rate: 50% (prob a bit low and closer to 60-70% but idk)
efficiency return rate: 75% (fairly accurate by weight)
which means for each gram of flower i get 75mg thc
so 350g flower extracts to 26250mg thc
make 16 choc bars, 32 pieces per bar, 512 pieces total
that gives roughly 51mg thc per piece
certainly not a perfect science, but through experimentation i think its pretty close, i eat 4 which is similar to my normal dose of store bought, friends eat 1, non smokers start with 1/4
lecithin and cacao butter extraction help with bioavailability quite a bit, but my gut biome is weird and certainly not normal in processing foods, definitely fall into the category above
no dreams is the goal, and it is achieved

The only time edibles have had any effect on me was back in 1988 when I ate an entire hash brownie in one bite. Apparently, it was supposed to have been a snack for the whole night... I was damn near trippin'

Before edibles was a thing, we used to just eat chunks of hash.

I ate enough hash for a few lifetimes. I'd eat more if I could. I was with some Germans in a coffee shop in Amsterdam when I was 17 on our HS German class trip and they were horrified that I wanted to eat it. I was just trying to get around their nasty habit of smoking it with tobacco.

Yeah, no. RSO tastes like shit. And you need to put cream in the coffee for suspension/absorption. So between the RSO and the cream, a perfectly good cup of coffee gets wasted.
And carrying around a syringe while skiing is asking for a canna mess.
I think I can make “sweet tart” flavor if I sweeten with a little stevia and a little key lime juice. Stay tuned.

WEED, The Official Thread
I miss Splat in this thread!
Mostly chiming in to say I’m still amazed and pissed my state, (WY), is still running away from any type of legalization.

i haven't taken a shitload of edibles but every time i've taken them and that's at least a dozen times, they don't seem to do shit so i just stick with flower.
wtf? why would you eat more if the only reason you were doing it previously was because you didn't want to roll one up w/o tobacco? legit question since you have the experience. how much hash does one have to eat to feel a similar effect to one burning it? i ask b/c situations where you're smoking hash are often quite random and most times, the random you run into wants to share it, doesn't have enough for you to make a meal out of it and offers you to rip a few on a lift or something. seems counterproductive but to each to his own.

Ya, I'd usually eat a gram at first. I was looking to trip not just get high. Avoiding tobacco was an afterthought born of experience. You could get couch lock pretty easy on a gram from the stuff we had. I wasn't bumming from randoms. There was enough that it had good portions of the gold seals left on it

If you have a card I would think that is a wise thing to do. I have enough to survive another month right now so I'm not sweating anything.
