Let me throw this out… My GF’s aunts and uncles want to have a “first time” party where they all try pot for the first time. I’ve made cookies and brownies in the past, with varying degrees of success, I guess depending on the quality of the effective ingredients.
Do you have any tips on what products would best be used for cooking/baking edibles like cookies or brownies? We’re just looking to have a laugh, get the munchies, and fall asleep. :)
On the one hand, I’d recommend RSO/FECO. It’s a full spectrum product that is already decarbed in a format that makes it very easy to do dosage math. It typically comes in a glass syringe with portions marked on the side. It would allow you to make very reasonable new user doses without worrying about overwhelming new users. A good starter dose is 5~10mg for most people, so very low in the grand scheme of things to an experienced user.
On the other hand, if you have dispensary access, you could just ask for their best tasting 5mg or candy bar. A good budtender will know what’s good in their dispensary. I could promise you tasty edibles from mine.
@TemporaryBoyfriend I would recommend buying some edibles, so they are all starting at a measured and mellow dose. Throwing them right into smoking flower would be an awful idea, so I’m glad that isn’t on your path. Cookies and brownies still risk having wildly different dosages though, so probably not the best idea.
