I've been a daily herb smoker for 15 years. I write my best drum beats when lit, always have. It hasn't killed my ambition or career. :cool:

These two quotes represent my pot usage pretty well.

It it really doesn't do anything positive for me... like I get light headed and super hungry then I fall asleep. WOW what a great feeling... I'd rather drink, I usually only smoke pot now when I'm drunk.

and potheads are like the lamest people to hang around with in the entire world.

seriously cokeheads > potheads

you have to cook the weed into the butter (low temp) so the oils meld together then add to your flour/brownie mix when you would normally add the butter

I never understood why someone wouldn't just smoke the weed and eat brownies.

Pot brownies taste bad

Just get a good recipe for brownies, full stop.

Instead of butter, grind about an ounce (for a large supply, more'n the brownies) of bud with some leaf really fine into flour - you can add a little salt as an abrasive to grind it down better.
Retain about 1/8 of this "flour" you make to add to the brownies directly as a flour equivalent/additional, and throw the rest into about 4 cups of pre-boiled water. Add a standard stick of butter and cook until melted. Simmer some more after that, around 20 minutes while stirring intermittantly.
Put through a strainer and cool the mixture in the fridge.
The THC content which should now have come into suspension in the butter - will rise to the top and reharden.
You can blend it up again when you remove it from the water (throw the water out, it's useless) to make it into a nice shape again, or just keep the "chunks".
I'd reccomend the blending them though, as it also helps with the texture/spreadability of the product.
Keep the butter as you would any dairy product.
Now, as I said, this'll probably be more than you "need" for the brownies - just add the equivalent amounts to regular butter and a tbsp if you wanna get HIT somethin' crazylike.
Like I said, use in this manner with the brownies, then add the additional "flour" to your existing recipe - throw in an egg yolk if it's too dry a consistancy.
Then cook 'em as you like 'em - no special trick to it.

The leftover butter (and you should probably still be rockin' at least a third of that badboy) which is btw a funky light green colour, can be spread on toast lightly for a mild bodystone, or used in sauces, pastas, fuckin' anything you'd add butter to really, for similar effect.
There is no overpowering taste, an should not effect anything you make in a negative way - of course if some clown just thrown chopped up bud into them like some people seem to try, your brownies will naturally taste rather shitty - it's not a very paletable substance.

Recommendation - Wait about 20 minutes before you make any judgements that you should eat more because "it's not working". Trust me.
Know what you're dealing with to better gauge additional use in food too.
I'd advise making sure you have the next day free in case you overdo it though, as many will for the aforementioned reasons.

Also, I guess where I fall in would be "regular user".
Not extensively though, I'd just use it as a preferred substance to drinking - I prefer the physical and mental effects it has on me.
Although I intend to remove the smoking part of the weed thing completely out of the equation as soon as supplys and equipment allows.

and potheads are like the lamest people to hang around with in the entire world.

Agreed.

seriously cokeheads > potheads

Same shit, different mood.

But when I'm really stressed out, it's the best medicine. And I love watching movies a little stoned, it helps me turn off the writer mind and allow myself to be fully immersed in the story and characters.

Every once in a while, when I'm really stuck for ideas, I'll smoke a ton and get baked then have the wife bounce stupid questions off me until the tangential stoner mind comes up with something brilliant...

this must of course be written down immediately before the next flood of random ideas comes and obliterates the original thought - not something I do every day, as it breeds laziness (both mental and physical) but once in a while it can be a very effective tool for unlocking creativity.

And since I quit smoking (cigarettes & cigars) a couple of years ago I rather enjoy the smoking aspect of the drug even more. It feels social and tribal in a way that I didn't think about when I smoked other products as well.

I don't even smoke but after reading that....I wanna......can anybody hook a brother up?
