[QUOTE=download;40698322]Because my family won't appreciate it if the house smells like weed, and despite the stereotype, it's winter here in Australia, which means it's fucking cold and probably raining outside especially down south where I live
What are firecrackers? Besides the things that go bang

I read every time you guys said "apple pipe" initially as "Apple Pie"
I really won't mind cooking it[/QUOTE]
omg what
please tell me you don't live in vic or nsw...
Honestly,
don't do weed at home, [B]especially[/B] around your parents.
If you can, do it at a friends place. (with friends who have had experience)
If not, find someone who knows how to roll joints.
I hope you're at least in year 10.

not being mean, just think it's funny
[QUOTE=download;40698831]Yep, clearly not welcome here.
I'm 19 years old. I made it pretty clear that neither I, nor my friends want to smoke it, we're not little kids.
All I got from you was that cooking it takes time, so what? Learn to be patient[/QUOTE]
i dont see whats so hard about these options, there has to be another reason why you guys dont want to smoke it besides smell, because newsflash baking it will smell too all you have to do for both cases (smoking or cooking) is air the place out (if you smoke outside, like on the porch/balcony/etc).
Why are we telling you to smoke it? Because its the easiest, quickest way of getting high without fucking it up. The only real obstical is learning to inhale, which isnt all that hard either. Cooking (anything other than firecrackers: which are literally 2 crackers with peanut butter mixed with cannabis in the middle then baked) is difficult, which is why its not the first way people use marijuana. There has to be another reason against smoking it, because it really is the best choice for first timers.
As everyone said edibles last way longer and if you put too much you will be overwhelmed, which is probably reason number 1 as to why you shouldnt go for it. Especially since you've never smoked before.
I seriously dont understand why you are upset that people are telling you to smoke it. You asked if baking was a good first start, we said no and gave a bunch of reasons why. "Yep clearly not welcome here" what?
also regarding the location thing, find a place that you dont need to worry about parents. Its a real drag when you are getting high with friends when you have to keep looking at the clock making sure when parents are coming home. It really takes away from your high, you want to find a place where you can get high without worry, otherwise you will kill your high/not get the full experience, or get paranoid.
Sounds to me like you aren't a little kid, just a think you know it all teenager. Just smoke outside your house, or when noone's home it's not hard to smoke in snow or rain, quit being a fucking cry baby because you don't like the only two options, and we're clearly suggesting the better option for a beginner smoker because we're all veteran smokers. Why the fuck would a majority be telling you to do the exact same thing if it weren't true, contrary to popular belief stoners are a lot sharper than the stereotype leads us on to be, although you must seem to have no issue drinking and that makes you downright retarded.
Cut the dude a lil slack, when I first started smoking I was unaware of how it worked, stunk out my room without realising. If you don't know the advantages and disadvantages of each, going with whatever people say might seem a little naive. However, I can confirm that smoking is by far the best way of doing it for the first month or so, till you can trust your judgement when cooking. Also, if you're worried about not being able to roll, just get a ballpoint pen, some tinfoil and make science. Tokes won't be harsh if you only take smallish ones. It doesn't hurt your throat, it's just really tickly :v:

[QUOTE=Inzalonus;40698991]Well you obviously didn't read correctly
cooked weed hits you like a ton of bricks, for first timers this can and will be overwhelming if you go too far. Dosing it is also ridiculously harder because you simply do not know what kind of tolerance your body will put up, some people take a ridiculous amount of weed to get stoned their first time, some people have one hit of a joint and feel completely ripped
cooking it, you're pretty much potentiating it a huge deal, it takes a lot longer to kick in. Easy to fall for the "Yeah this isn't hitting me" trap, and then land yourself with a bad experience filled with paranoia and thinking you're dying.
Yes, it's weed, but that shit can and will happen especially if you havn't smoked before, because your body and mind simply don't know what the fuck is going on in a sense. We all know how to handle it by comparison, so we make it sound as if it's something easy, but weed as a drug for a first timer can be fucking ridiculous.
This is why people don't recommend weed edibles. But if you're going to make them, just put really small amounts into each one, have one to begin with, then redose if you want to get "higher" about 2 hours in. That's the only "advice" I have to give you in terms of edibles. I did give this advice before, maybe not this specifically, but I still threw it out there.
my over all advice would be to just smoke it outside somewhere for your first time, you would have a far better time and experience the full "magic" of weed. Inside is great and all, but nothing compares to that. That being said, if you're that unwilling to smoke, go ahead with the edibles, just be smart about it and don't cook cannabutter, go the firecracker route. it fucking reeks cooking cannabutter but firecrackers, inside an oven etc tend to be pretty smell-less as far as room goes.. can't say the same about the inside of the oven for a few hours[/QUOTE]
You know he's gonna fuck up making edibles somehow though, most people do in atleast one way their first time cooking edibles, smoking>cooking (for beginners)
I'd recommend an apple pipe if you do decide to smoke it (which you really should), but a joint has the advantage of being discrete, especially if you mix it out with tobacco since it will look and smell like a regular fag meaning you can smoke it outside in a somewhat secluded space without raising too much attention.
Since none of you can roll I recommend just cheating with a pencil; roll the joint around a pen, put in a roach and then fill it with the smoke. It takes longer time but at least it will be smokeable.
OP should get a 5 dollar glass pipe. They've got headshops in Straya, right?
[QUOTE=download;40696811]We'd prefer not to smoke it...[/QUOTE]
I can't even believe how big of you deal you've made this into. Allow me to reiterate countless posts that have already been validly made.
Edbiles are absolutely NOT the way to go. I don't even care if you put a little amount into them, the way you've portrayed yourself thus far makes it very clear that you wouldn't even be able to handle the task or process, you can't even roll a joint why would making a proper edible be easier?
Again, edibles are incredibly more potent, in terms of the effects of the high, it's completely different from smoking and you are most likely to feel it in your entire body. I got absolutely decimated from two pussy hits on my first joint, I don't even want to think about what would of happened if I had eaten an edible for my first experience with weed. Shit, even after smoking for over a year everyday and trying an edible for the first time, I was absolutely wrecked in every way conceivable, again would never in my life advise any first timer to use an edible.
I also don't get the issue with smoking, it's not hard at all, fuck the pipe, the apple pipe, etc, just roll a fucking joint, you know there's these things called ROLLERS. You don't need to 'spend the night confused and coughing,' are you serious?
Put the weed in this:
[img]http://www.zamnesia.com/1324-2289/joint-roller-raw-ecoplastic.jpg[/img]
Then move your fingers upward.
Then put the paper in with the glue-side facing away from you, and then
Move your fingers upward.
Please don't tell me you're incapable of moving your fingers upward. You'll also cough for two minutes after you take a hit, it's not a big deal.
Stop making it so complicated this is asinine.
So did he mean his bro goes on DD or that his bro is just a stoner?

i think theyre tasty
saying nothing about the taste, how well do firecrackers work?
been thinking of trying them out, now that i can't get real edibles because the dispensaries are closed
also, must it be (graham)crackers? i only have wheat bread
dont use wheat bread, it doesnt have to be graham crackers but it has to be some kind of cracker
no saltines?

[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;40698887]Oh, so you won't smoke it because "we're not little kids"
That's your reason? Well thanks for clarifying I guess. You're welcome to stay and discuss things. We don't hate you. Judging from your opening post you drink so I don't understand where you're pulling "we're not little kids" from. Not sure why you are judgmental like that. You need to communicate with us more effectively. You're making us assume everything.[/QUOTE]

So pretty much; don't eat it because you'll have too much and fuck yourself over? To me it sounds like just don't have a cookie, then decide 5 minutes later that it's not working so you have another 3, then get fucked up

How about this: I just don't like smoking or maybe I just hate the smell of smoke and the fact it will make me, my clothes and the house smell like it? Is that a good enough reason?

I can't believe how enormous a chore you've made cooking to be. If you can't perform basic cooking you must be retarded. Oh, it's more potent? Eat less then.
Seriously, all of you have made yourselves out to be people who have no self control and are unable to perform even basic cooking. That is literally what your argument against cooking seems to be

Cooking it makes the whole house smell of weed though, you can smoke outside and come back in after like 15 minutes and not smell like weed at all.
And if you are new to weed how will you know how much you should eat? I've had one cookie before and become ultimately fucked which would be scary for a first timer

Having seem my little brother cook weed in the house, the small was no where near as bad as smoking.
As for how much, I can ask my bother, I could probably ask my mum too. She seems to have experience in the matter
