it's also gives you fantastic control over dosage and quality. i grow my own flower and make my own edibles and i think i've perfected the right recipes that work through trial and error and it was kinda fun doing it too.

it taught me that i need more hobbies in my life and now i'm pursuing creating a brand new daily driver linux laptop to that end.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fuck yes.

I make a batch of 35-40 cookies and have the dosage & timing down pat.

i need to make mine sugar free and i'm transitioning into a plant based diet so it works well for me too.

Mine are vegan & there isn't any skunkiness....I have to keep them clearly labeled in the freezer after I make them because you cannot tell the difference.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

how do you get the skunkiness out?

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

So I use about 1g of bud, not the shake for about 350g of butter for the recipe. Turns out more consistent, especially for dosages (works out to about 2.5mg per cookie).

That and my cookies are amazingly good.

Caramels work well for me.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

caramel edibles? how do you keep the thc from burning?

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

245 is the target temp. Only hot enough to burn my hand

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

And I started with cannabutter if that helps

Yeah a lot of people will write it off after trying with crappy cheap devices. But if you try a high end heavy hitter there is no going back.

I've been very curious about dry herb vaporizers, but I've mostly heard negatives online. What kind of price floor are we talking to get a good one? Is there a brand you swear by?

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

I don't like recommending the brand I use because the owners are right wing dip shits but I use cannabis hardware VROD injection ball vape through my glass pieces. You can apparently make your own diy these days called a "pinkie".

For portable I like the tinymight. There are probably better options out there now though.

For the desktop vape I mentioned first it was about $500 or so and I think the portable I mentioned second was $300.

I have a mighty and sometimes its rough on my lungs. Some people are just sensitive :/

Why am I being downvoted? Edibles were by far better than burning up my lungs when I used to partake. Interferes with my meds nowadays.

[–] ne0phyte@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, especially the ones made by pharma companies that doctors hand out.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Gotta cough to get off 🤷🏻‍♂️

l'm always interested to learn what music people like to listen to.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Im gonna stereotype myself here but I've been really enjoying Kino

It rotates, currently a lot of filk (Space Asshole and Pushing the Speed of Light are favorites) last month I was listenig to Aviators(Can You Hear It?, Stay Dead) The Birthday Massacre(Kill the Lights, Divide), E.M.M.P. (any of their tzeentch tracks and This Quiet Offends Slannesh) but if you just want to get absolutely torched and just vibe? Stone Rebel, albums of just pure vibe.

These guys are awesome. Thank you so much.

check out Give up Baby Go by Peach Pit - if you like it you'll probably like their discography.

[–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Awesome thanks!

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I find with edibles you have no control. I don't like it. Hardly ever, these days, I feel comfortable enough to be completely blitz with no turning back.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Gummies are incredibly easy to make. I just made a batch 2 days ago that are sitting in my counter drying before I put a powdered sugar on the outside of them and stick them in the freezer. I use moulds so that I know EXACTLY how much I'm dosing. And the best part? I'm not destroying my lungs by any means.

[–] butsbutts@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

.. I never thought of making them before HMM
