i've tried other people's cooking and have only gotten high 1 time out of 20 maybe... so i think this may or may not be for me. but the time i did get high from cookies.. oh.. i want that again.. =)

in any case, i can spend good money on tech. seems like decarboxylator is the way to go if you just want to each weed straight up? and for butter it is also useful, no? weed is still illegal where i live, so it's an issue with edibles.. plus i am still contemplating if final product price will be ridiculous, cause i get good weed $50 for 1/8th...

any proven methods you'd recommend?

each time i make butter its 150g of weed into 3-4 sticks of butter. Simmer it overnight and then repeat cause theres always THC left in the mix :)

Bhang is an economical method but ive never tried it

price is ridiculous IMO unless youve got some trees and spare leaf/trim

Hi Slash,

The decarboxylator looks good for home use.

Personally I use two methods for cannabis. I occasionally use a portable vaporizer which provides an almost immediate effect or I make my own chocolate edibles where the full effect takes between 1/2 to 1 hour dependent on speed of digestion. If edibles are made correctly there is no physiological reason why they won't "work" as it's simply a more lower method of absorbing the active ingredients in cannabis into the blood stream thus nervous system.

I'm sure your aware that the critical cooking method to make raw cannabis effective as a edible is heat and fat (inc the fats found in coconut oil etc). I simply grind up some weed in a coffee grinder and then add it to some melted dark chocolate (high fat content) and simmer for at least 1/2 hour.

The simmering process needs to be regulated so that the chocolate dosn't boil. A easy way to do this is to place a glass bowl over a pan of steaming water ( just off of the boil) and melt the chocolate in the bowl and then add the ground up weed.

Works like a treat :-). Plus once you get the quantities right you can take handy sized chocolate bars that will give a effect that builds slowly and lasts longer than smoking/vaping as the body digests the chocolate etc. Also handy for micro-dosing when just a slight effect is required.

As a side recommendation for anyone whom is interested in using cannabis or psilocybin, found in certain mushrooms, is to take a break at regular intervals from using them. Cannabis and psilocybin are not particularly physiologically addictive (i.e. There enjoyable when used sensibly though any substance can be over used and abused). Taking a break (e.g. at least a 24 hours or more) prevents the body from building up high levels of tolerance to the drug. Thus avoids the pleasure seeking behavior of taking more substance in order to try and match the last high (e.g. psychological addiction).

Of course any drug works by directly interacting with the bodies biological systems. And whilst the effects of cannabis can be very broad they are nothing more than changes of chemistry. Changes of chemistry in the brain and central nervous system that are outside of the "normal" experiences of people can cause a vast array of psychological effects  due to the alternated state of perception. People whom are already prone to a religious view may perceive even more grand delusions. People whom may already have a comparably strong underlying psychological fear may become more anxious,people whom are already feeling comparably emotional stable and are in a safe environment may feel strong feelings of euphoria and love towards other loving humans.
Essentially cannabis won't/can't change what you are beyond any biological limit ( a homo sapien not a angel or "spiritual leader" that ironically needs to eat,drink and shit like the rest of us :-) ). Cannabis can/does change your perception and that perception will only be able to relate to the information that is already stored in the brain and take in information (hearing,sight,touch,smell etc) from the environment.   Understanding this provides the user with a broad scope to manage their experiences and tailor them to their own needs. However, biology works by highly regulated feed back systems. Thus eventually the cannabis experience will reduce  ("coming down") as the brain/nervous system etc finds it's optimal state of equilibrium (a state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces.).

Just thought I'd mention this as I'm confident your average (a statistical average/mean) cannabis users may find it useful IF they are not already indoctrinated into any of the myriads of belief systems that repress the act of " Asking questions???????". Does god exist? is merely a hypothesis that any free thinker shouldn't fear to ask ( even secretly/privately in there own heads). The answer is, that depends what the word "god" means to the individual.

Personally though I prefer my god to be Music :-). Music is my answer :-).
Music is physics brought to life with biology.

That  "state of rest" is only temporary (chill-out/relaxing time) as the human nervous system motivates the individual to do the usual day to day activities that are successful evolutionary strategies for survival.e.g. Eat,drink,learn, etc.
