I am a reg here and have name changed.

Me and my DH have made some pot brownies for tonight I have never smoked pot before or even been stoned. Were off to amsterdam next year and I would like a space cake over there so we thought we would try at home first before in an unfamiliar setting.

I am a bit excited nervous and again excited! Anyone ever made pot brownies what was it like? AIBU to be excited?

It's really the eating it that's the problem. Smoking it is much more controlled and with a quick impact.

Eating it like this is where the problems tend to lie. Hence why I'm curious the op and her partner chose to do this.

Never had pot brownies but I did have ‘mushrooms ‘ wrapped in chorizo the other night - lets just say the woman on the tv had green hair 😂😂

Shameless placemarking for live thread tonight or an update 2 days later

TopBitchoftheWitches · 12/10/2018 15:57

I haven't smoked it for about 5 years, shame really as I find everything so funny and just spend the whole time laughing. Until I pass out.

The one time I ate it, I can't remember much about Confused

3/4 of a £10 bag is going to be less than a gram in that whole cake? That'll do nothing. You'll need best part of an ounce (28gram) for a cake that size.

Not if they’ve never smoked it before. Starting small is good, better that than too much I reckon.

Sitranced · 12/10/2018 16:01

Ok, half an ounce then if its your first time. But a smokes worth isn't going to do much.

YeTalkShiteHen · 12/10/2018 16:04

I reckon they’ll get a bit of a dunt, and they’ve still got enough to roll one if it’s not enough Grin

I made space brownies to take to a festival years ago, put too much in and spent the whole night ill. I've also eaten the muffins in Amsterdam, I ate one about midnight and woke up the next day stoned out of my box.

WTAF? No you don't. It's about a tenth of that for extremely potent ones. And she's not a habitual smoker. Plus the fact it's home made so could have it bunched up in a given slice.

Doghorsechicken · 12/10/2018 16:11

I’ve had too many close friends & family lost to drugs which ended with episodes of psychosis, paranoia, depression, anxiety etc. and every single one of them started with smoking weed. All for the sake of ‘looking cool’ & peer pressure. Yes I think it’s pathetic. Plus weed is far stronger nowadays that it was a few decades ago.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 12/10/2018 16:11

This was my instant thought as soon as I read the title!

Tinkobell · 12/10/2018 16:15

Do you happen to have a gluten free recipe for the fragile tummy? Also is the chocolate singe origin or fair trade? Are you sure of the provenance of your weed? 😁😁😁😁😁

*Weed is a gateway drug

It can be, it isn’t always. I smoked it for years, have never tried any other drug at all and haven’t smoked weed for many years either.*

Its the proven link with paranoia, psychosis and schizophrenia that's far more worrying than it being a gateway to other drugs.

theworldistoosmall · 12/10/2018 16:24

Like others have said. Don't eat too much at once and keep out of reach of pets/kids

Don't eat and then go in the bath. The steam can fuck you up. Taking drugs and a bath is not the same as going in with a drink.

A friend occasionally makes me some egg free ones as I no longer smoke and like to get stoned sometimes. Takes longer to feel the effects than smoking it. Not sure how much he puts in, he also doesn't make a big cake, he just makes a couple of cupcakes. I usually start to feel it within the hour. (Was hysterical but in a bad way the year he got those ones mixed up with the charity coffee morning ones!!)

theworldistoosmall · 12/10/2018 16:24

Oh and as for a gateway drug. Tbph I tried other drugs long before I smoked my first joint.

dont like it dont read it its fairly simple... not everyone agrees on everything in this world now do they.

As for being a gateway drug yes I am planing heroin cupcakes for next weeks bake off. Then maybe cocaine cookies?......obviously not! just something I want to enjoy in my own home before am in amsterdam.....we have saved some in case.

My husband used to smoke weed years ago but has never ate it its meant to be a different high says mr google and me, ive never done any at all.

well husband had the first brownie...........

Aye, don’t have any of those either.

So it happens, and I’m not saying it doesn’t, but people who make out that one joint is going to turn you into Renton from Trainspotting are a bit silly imo.

youarenotkiddingme · 12/10/2018 16:33

Never had them myself. Tried smoking it once in early 20's.

XP family did bake them quite a lot it seems. When we visited U.K. for a family wedding they were all off on it. His teen sister was even allowed to try one.
We just didn't fancy it or have any interest but his family from teens up to his nan were off this planet!

Agree, bit of scaremongering here. The risk I think is simply and only she takes more of a dose than she can handle and whites out.

YeTalkShiteHen · 12/10/2018 16:37

I agree, which is why I said to take it slow and not eat too much at once because it’ll take a while to kick in.

OP just as an aside, if you do hit a whitey, sweet food/drinks (probably drinks in case you’re sick) will ease it. It’ll kill your stone too, but stop your whitey if it happens

100% of heroin users went to primary school

Primary school is a gateway to being a smackhead Shock
