What are you eating right now? Edibles Thread

I have some medicated hot chocolate with marshmallows, these are made by a local source and you melt them in hot milk and then add the mellows which I like to toast with my blow torch for a semi gooey surface They all did come with a small medicated cookie which was supposed to be eaten with the drinks but I scoffed all those cookies one afternoon and then had a good sleep

Overall a reasonable high off the drinks and a fair price, a nice little extra on a Friday evening an hr or so before bed, just make sure you do not have to get up for anything in the morning

Make my own hash & coconut oil capsules these days (as per Psychedelic Sam’s instructions on the Grass City forum)
Just so easy to make & control dosage. Have almost completely eliminated smoking/vaping apart from the occasional bong hit when I can’t be bothered to wait for them to kick in.

I was given some very professional looking commercial cannabis Oreo cookies ‘Stoneos’ the other day. Didn’t like the high felt a bit chemical? Prefer to make my own & know exactly what’s in my edibles. No interest in sweeties or chocs.
Happy 4/20

Currently munching my way through a large bag of homemade ABV forest fruits flavour gummies.

Every time I've saved up a large pot of vaped bud I make a batch. They give a very relaxed high, and if you eat too many you're not moving for several hours, but I make them small and weak so I can eat a small handful.

It's great being able to vape your bud, then eat it. Twice the bang for your buck.

I make my own with distillate, mixed with a bit of coconut oil and then added to melted chocolate and freeze dried raspberries and mango and the remould it ... I like the distillate as you get a precise dose, I put 300- 500mg in a bar and I find a couple of squares gives a nice buzz

White chocolate lemon hash fudge Mmmm.
5g hash made about 35 hits, which is much less than if I’d made canna caps, but waaaay tastier.

I've been diving a bit deeper into the pharmacology of edibles, and I found something worth sharing that might not be common knowledge – even among experienced users. Most of us know that edibles hit differently than vaping or smoking – slower onset, longer effect, stronger body load.

But what’s often overlooked is why that happens on a chemical level. When you vape or smoke, the active compound is Delta-9-THC. It goes straight from lungs into bloodstream and brain – quick and relatively predictable. But when you consume THC orally, your liver metabolises it into 11-hydroxy-THC (11-OH-THC) before it reaches the brain. And that metabolite is not just a side product:

• It crosses the blood-brain barrier more effectively

• It binds more strongly to CB1 receptors

• It’s roughly 2 to 3 times more potent than Delta-9-THC

That’s why edibles often feel more psychedelic, immersive or longer-lasting – even at the same nominal dose. You’re not just high from a different dose – you’re high from a different molecule.

Fun twist: in roadside blood tests, 11-OH-THC often isn’t measured at all. Most tests only look for Delta-9-THC or the non-active THC-COOH metabolite. So technically, someone could be heavily impaired from edibles and still pass a police blood test – just because the wrong cannabinoid is being checked. Not promoting driving after dosing, of course – just saying, the science is pretty wild.

You thought you were just having a choco cookie. But your liver went full chef mode and baked a second one: 11-hydroxy-style. Stronger than any Cookies strain on the shelf.

If you're into the biochem side of things, here are some sources that explain the THC-11 story in detail:
