I'm interested in making an edible food with some pot - General

So, I've read all over the internet a bunch of recipes, like firecrackers, weed brownies/cookies, banana kush, pot chocolate etc etc.. I'm really intrigued by these, and I'd like to give one a try. Reason being, every time I smoke up, I get such a bad high, my heart always beats extremely fast, like as if I were on a treadmill running as fast as I could. I get paranoid about it because my heart sometimes skips beats, so I always think I'm going to have a heart attack (went to the doctors about it a few years back, and apparently lots of people have it and it's normal) So basically, I'm thinking that ingesting the weed will give me a different kind of high, more of a body high, instead of a mind high (tricking my mind into thinking stupid shit because I'm so stoned) If anyone has experienced what it's like getting high from ingesting weed, I'd love to hear the differences between smoking and eating it, and also how it made you feel. [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] Also, considering I haven't blazed in soooooo long, I also need to know how much weed to put into whatever I make.

I'm pretty sure you would still have a rapid heartbeat. The high isn't that different than usual. It just gradually builds up and lasts longer than smoking. It is a bit different but nothing special to me.

Oh really? That's shitty then. I totally was expecting it to make my body feel completely fucked but my mind completely sober.

I get the same way but just calm yourself down then everything is cool.

I wish it didn't give you that rapid heartbeat effect.. I love everything about the high except that, and once I start worrying about it, the high becomes extremely shitty and I just wish I was sober or I try to fall asleep ahaha.

Yeah the mental fog can definitely still effect you. I'm guessing you aren't a total pothead. But the more you smoke the more you will learn to deal with the paranoia. Just remember no one has died from getting too high on weed.

No, not at all.. I rarely smoke pot, I just find it fun once in a blue moon, I also usually always smoke it by myself, helps with the paranoia for some reason. I like doing it during the night too, when it's fairly late and almost bed time.

Try to do relaxing things, listen to relaxing music, rest, watch some calm movies. Or just be outside and don't think. I've been through this, it's really not fun to be so anxious to not be able to just sit there. It'll pass eventually.

Okay I'll try that tonight. I'll also most likely grab chips and some milk and hop on Facepunch and read some stories on Erowid.

Drink some relaxing tea too, it really does help.

May also do that. Hopefully this section is populated tonight so I people to talk to. In case you're wondering, it's 7:50 here and I'll probably toke up between 10-11.

Oh god. If I saw this while stoned, I'd probably freak the fuck out haha. [img]http://gyazo.com/d695f42b722c0c7f3bc373d1a1e7b86a.png[/img]

dude i cant even feel my heartveat

I disagree with 2-d Edibles give you a nice body high, like smoking an Indica-dominant strain, but more pronounced. Make firecrackers, you'll love em

I thought I was the only one who got the heartbeat heart attack fear thing

When I got high as balls off a firecracker, the high was chill and intense body high. And it never went away for like 6 hours. IT was awesome

Because I still definitely feel stoned after eating it. The only real reason I like eating it is because of the length of the effects. Especially useful for concerts where you can't smoke or something like that.

I find the mental effects are much less pronounced than when smoking. After eating 1g in firecrackers, I felt very fucking physically stoned, but I felt compelled to smoke because my mind was so clear. The mental effects are there, but, like I said, they're just not as pronounced.
