All I need to know about Ingesting?

Hi, yea! I'm kinda new at this, haha...
I've only smoked so far but this weekend, me and my more experienced friend will be making butter and all kinda treats. I'm excited, so I thought I'd do some research.
Please join in contributing to the discussion of:
- How much water should I drink?
- Should I not eat? Should I eat before/during?
- Is there a particular treat that you consider a 'must try'?
And any advice/warnings/suggestions would totally be appreciated!

 

Hi there Raxyl,

Ingesting marijuana is an experience that will eventually require some self titration on your behalf. That is, you will have to adjust your dose until you achieve the desired results that you like best. Basically, you will have to pay close attention to the concentration of the butter you are eating and the concentration of the butter going into the food.

Eating too much can really send you for a spin if you're not ready for it, and too little can leave you feeling nothing at all. Many people report a diminished reaction if pot food is eaten on a full stomach, as well.

As far as drinking water, I wouldn't really worry about it too much. I've heard more people talk about drinking TOO MUCH water when high as opposed to drinking too little. Of course, your location (like if your in the middle of the Hempfest in Oregon in 100+ degree weather) can change this.

Just so you know what you're in for, I have cooked ganja food (i've been doing this hardcore for 15 years ) that has made people fall asleep, given people a ton of energy, and yes, given people visuals as if they were tripping. I always have a great time...

Good luck,

-ZB
