hi chef moe, I have an issue maybe you can help!

[Snafu]

I am in need of some recipes for super strength edibles, as the ones i can find at the local dispensaries just arent cutting it, or if they do i need to eat 3 or 4 (sometimes 5) of any given edible, that is just way to much money to be spending for 3 or 4 hours of relief, so i could use some serious help for making elephant knock out strength edibles!!!

thanks for your time

-Russ

is the good chef no available? or would there be a better place to post this?

[hotrod68]

i'm no expert but, from my experiences (which are limited as fars as edibles go) most of it comes down to the butter if potency is the issue. You may just want to make stronger butter. There are numerous butter recipes on this site you might want to try. just my.02
Also I think the chef is mia, lol

Good luck,

Well it depends on what you have available...
The best cookies I've had contain hash from plant trimming time, and I tell you, eat enough hash and you'll be knocked out!

But what do you have available to make your cooking with?
If you have lots of trimmings then its easy! If you can make ice water hash, then you're set.

i dont grow for now, and all i have available to me is just nugs, but if making hash from the nugs would be a better idea would you be able to point me in the right direction for making hash.

I am a newb at anything other then smoking and buying edibles (i have to eat so many at once that it is really cost prohibitive to continue down this route)

I'd suggest making something similar to the cocokief I get from Harvest House in Nederland, Colorado.

From what I'm told, it's a gram of kief mixed with a tsp of coconut oil and heated until the kief has 'melted' ...

This is by far the strongest edible I've ever had ...

Are you buying these edibles or making yourself? Also if you are in CA, They probably have you believe this 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 1-4 stars BS. The strains they make edibles out of change all the time, therefore so does potency. And most times they use the crappy material. Try making your own if you can, I know it's expensive now but you'll get more from a batch that you can control dosage on. It's gonna be expensive, but if your paying 10-15 an edible, it should be worth it for you. There are recipes around here for the price of a half Oz you could make one strong batch of butter for a brownie or other pastry of choice. And if one or two don't work you wont feel bad about a 3rd. just buy a package of cake mix or brownie mix that uses butter, usually a stick of butter. Melt the butter on low add your ground up buds and let sit for as long as you want 30 minutes minimum, being careful not to burn off the butter. Try to go longer for best results...add a lil water(couple teaspoons), and let sit on low for a few hours, last 15 minutes uncovered. strain butter from buds being careful to get all of the butter you can back out. use that butter in your recipe and you are golden!


I know it's a lil disorganized, but I just started writing and kept going. There are more precise recipes around here, but the basic idea is the same...it's in the butter man!

Yes there is a entire Ask Chef Moe section but I have been here for almost 4 months and from what i have seen Chef Moe is a 'no show.'

Every person is different. I make capsules with bubble-hash powder(www.cannabrex.com) and I can only have 1 regular strength, yet my renter took 4 extra strength before she got on the airplane for Mexico. We have very similar tolerances for smoking though.

Another friend who has ankylosis spondylitis (a chronic, inflammatory arthritis and autoimmune disease) takes 5 extras a day and reports zero effects. He is on a high daily dose of Oxycotin.

I have found that making capsules is the best way to increase potency and have better consistency.

I love cooking the edibles with weed. Way back in 1971 I had a copy of "The
Childs Garden of Grass". Mostly have made killer brownies, the very best with
hash powder,those would get anybody baked. I like to add spices and nuts
and raisins or dried cherries and hemp nuts, and make them with fresh-
ground whole wheat flour....watch out! Serious risk of O.D.!! How much
hash powder or strained weed? As much as you want to use and have!!
Then I freeze them in singles or doubles and wrap well and hide in freezer.
Num-O !
brownie..
(using some potent butter is great too.many ways to use the butter) I had
a friend give me a half pound of butter just because nobody else wanted it
'cuz they didn't know what to do with it!!!!

The edibles from most dispensaries are usually made from whatever trim and popcorn is available. Some dispensaries sell cooking trim, that may be the way to go - you'll have a better chance of having something of the same strain rather than a mixture, at a price better than just buds. Yesterday I had a chance at sugar trim for $40/oz....
