The weed was likely not decarbed correctly. My buddy said the same shit to me. He says he's smoked several times and tried edibles....I bring over some gummies and gave him a small handful, my dude was passing fucking Pluto in about an hour. (I don't think he knows how to inhale correctly for one, and I doubt he actually had good edibles, but I digress)
Decarbing has to be done right, and it's better to let the weed get infused into something with a fat content, like butter, ghee, or oil (as THC is fat soluble). It'll also make sure that every bit of your infused food is fully saturated with THC evenly, no pockets of flower all bunched up somewhere.
If you can get your hands on a few oz. I HIGHLY recommend you make infused safflower oil as it's super stable, flavorless, and goes great in almost every recipe. You can technically cook with it as well or infuse it it with other things for flavor (infused chili oil is that shit btw). The THC you ingest gets processed differently in your body than when inhaled which is why it takes so long. It goes through your liver, and is processed into a form that is 11x more potent than when you smoke it. I use my infused oil to make my own gummies (so I know how much to dose, and they look fucking fantastic when done.
Sorry for the insane rambling, but let me.know if you.have any questions.
I wish, but that particular batch of brownies was made with ganja butter by a professional chef who’s practically a professional pothead who had a few brownies and was high as a kite, while I’m basically the designated chaperone.
I’ve also been gifted edibles constantly, have tried ganja butters, tinctures and extracts from the dispensary. Nothing. It’s just all green tasting treats for me. It’s the same with alcohol, except I do manage to get drunk for a short time but it processes through really fast. A cursed blessing.
And I keep trying them, because it certainly would make traveling and dosing before dealing with clients easier, but I always have to eventually resort to smoking it, which takes effect almost immediately.
Edibles don't affect a lot of people. Had nothing to do with how it's made. I've eaten 2G of gummies to the face no effect whatsoever.
If not decarbed correcly, or if over cooked you can destroy the THC content and end up with sugar product. How it's made can absolutely affect THC content.
There is also people who legitimately are not affected by digesting cannabis as well.
Yeah, I had to read up about it. That really sucks.
