Extraction Alternatives to smoking, ideas please!

[Dsnip]

So I quit smoking about 3 or 4 years ago and I cnt enjoy my weed!
I'm looking for alternative ways to use my buds that iv just harvested. I don't know my dry weight yet as they are still drying. I haven't kept the sugar leaves either (I know my bad...).
So I'm looking for the different ways I could make something with my bud.
I don't want to loose the the aspect of my bud either.

So what information do u need from me??? If any.

First of all, congrats on quitting smoking! I did that back in the days also and I know it wasn't easy at all. I still do smoke occasional joint though and as long as it's smooth smoke I don't have trouble.

Why not try vaporizing? There are plenty of options out there and I am sure you would find a product that would fit your needs. Then you can infuse your cannabis to coconut oil. Alternative for that would also be to make some rosin wax, warm up a little bit of coconut oil and dissolve the wax there and enjoy it fresh....or mix it with your hot chocolate drink perhaps?

Lol cheers mate it was really hard quiting, I tried a few times and failed. One day just decided I would cold turkey it and it worked lol. Congrats to you too m8! Not easy. Do you smoke just weed in your joints or do you add Tabacco?

So we have-

Vaporizing

Infusing with coconut oil

Rosin wax

All good sujjestions what are the pros and cons of them all?

And how do you do them? Lol

Welcome Dsnip.

So it really depends on whether you want to be intoxicated or sober:

If you want a high/stone:

• Tincture (my fave)
  
• Bhang (one of my faves)
• RSO
  
• Edibles (fire crackers, candy, brownies, pudding, peanut-butter, infinitude)
• "Tequila Verde"

If you want/need to be sober:

• Ointment (my fave)
  
• Suppositories

Look around this section, there's lots of recipes, techniques, discussion about decarboxylating, and more!

Hi there, I just purchased the Nova decarb machine, and I can't wait to try it. You can just put the decarbed bud under your tongue for real fast absorption. Once I learned that at least 50% of the good stuff is lost in combustion, I really lost interest in smoking weed. I do love my Plenty vaporizer, but I am really looking forward to making some longer-lasting medicines when my decarb machine arrives.

To be honest guys if been looking at all your suggestions and I think.. I may try a vaporizer, apparently it's not too much fuss and when you've spent the bud u can cook with it..

I think Il try making some coconut oil infused oil aswel.

I don't even know, how much of got as it's still drying. But you can buy vaporizer pen (like an ecig) for around £50.. so I think Il try it.

What are your favourite edible recipes??

Actually, someone told me that if you just put the ABV (already been vaped) bud on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or some such thing, you will be high as heck. I never knew that...

Consider getting a kief box or other stackable screens designed for purifying trichomes by dry sifting/seiving for particles just that right size. You can sift and make loose kief, and can further press that easily into hash. Of course, you can also use your dry powder concentrates to make rosin, oils, edibles, etc.; and any reject, sifted powder can go into edibles, be vaporized (if potent enough), be given away to some weed-needy person, etc.

I just recently looked around for the best approx. 12" x 12" 4-screen kief box (also called pollen sifiting box) and purchased a Hashmankiefkowski Sift Box.

The dry concentrates you make not be as "good" as the fully-melting >80% waxes, oils and other solvent extracts, but does it really matter if you've got say 60%+ THC kief or hash; plus it's relatively quick and easy.

If you can , its pretty awesome to just eat fresh ripe buds.....I do this all the time in the summer outdoor season....by far the best high.......but you need to eat a good size bud/ buds....chew it up really good,,,even spread it out over some time as (chewing tobacco like alternative) big leaf style...

I completely agree!! Eating the whole plant is a whole nother experience! I've lightly cooked and eaten leaves; I'll have to try it with a bud.
