I never understood the impatience. Try one and leave it at that for the first time. If it wasn't enough, try two the next time, which should be at least 24 hours later, and so on and so forth. There's nothing wrong with accidentally microdosing.
This happened to me one time, however there is a big "but".
A friend gave me a big coffee can half full of dry weed. He told me it was really really old, and it probably wouldn't "work" anymore. It looked kinda old, too, sort of grayish-green and not very appealing.
I had never smoked before, and so I thought I should make edibles out of it. I did some research and resolved to extract the resin with acetone. It was a bit of work, especially getting all the acetone needed without too many questions, but I did it, and I successfully extracted the resin. I then looked up a cookie recipe and worked the resin in there.
Now, I was a really dumb semi-intelligent adolescent. I kept remembering my friend telling me this was probably not going to do anything. So when the first cookie seemed to do nothing after an hour, I thought "at least I have some decent cookies", and I proceed to eat them all.
Turned out my friend was very very wrong.
I'm sure that acetone works, but maybe too well? I've only used food as the extracting medium. Butter was my preferred means, mainly because I worked at a movie theater and had access to a lot of butter. I've used heavy milk and made ice-cream and once bread. The bread was light green and tasted like shit, but it still worked. The ice-cream was gross too. But when you started thinking you might like another scoop you knew it was working.
Acetone is how I made hash for years. These days I make bubble hash with ice water and extremely fine mesh sieves.
