I used to enjoy cannabis years ago and would try practically any method of ingesting if there was a chance it would get me stoned. However, the one thing I never understood is eating it. I tried twice with some friends cooking it in brownies and all I got was a stomach ache. Nuthin’…my friends didn’t seem to catch a buzz either. Never tried it again and since then I have given it up.

Still after all these years I wonder…I’m curious to hear from some of you heads out there if your experiments were any more successful or not.

If it worked for you…what was the recipe you used? How much herb did it take?

Thanks!

I ate marijuana cookies once and it made me ill. It’s a different sort of high than one gets from smoking, it’s heavier feeling if that makes any sense. I found it unpleasent and I used to enjoy smoking pot. Also, it takes a while to take effect, anywhere from one to two hours.

You need to eat a significant amount more than you would have to smoke in order to get high. To give any more details would probably be against Board policy. I recommend that you don’t try it,

I don’t want to try it…I would have years ago but my doping daze are in the past.
