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.
How much acetone did you need? I just buy the stuff in one gallon buckets at Home Depot, or any hardware store.
This was in the late 90s of the previous millennium, so I do not remember exactly how much I used, but you cannot buy acetone in gallons in Germany, only in small quantities.
Ahh, that makes sense. Here in the US it's sold in tiny bottles in shops all over as fingernail polish remover, but that stuff is crazy expensive. Like $3.99 for 6-8 oz of the stuff. A gallon costs me $20. I guess it is kinda hazardous if used improperly. I used to use it to make hash back in the late '90s early '00s, these days I use it to clean pipes and other things.
