I grow now to make edibles, keeping only a small amount to smoke. I can't believe the difference between eating and smoking. Pre-internet in my younger days, we did not know about decarb'ing etc so we basically crumbled up our weed and cooked it in brownies. Now I know what we were missing. Wow And so easy using a pressure cooker. First I decarb it. I don't use a grinder as I just imagine all of those beautiful trichs I have been admiring in my eyepiece for so long getting knocked off and "lost in my grinder", so I just hand crumble it over the cookie sheet i will be using. I do dry it first Anyway, either crumble it over the sheet or put your grinded cannabis on the cookie sheet. Spread it out really well the ratio I now use is a rough 2 to 1 - 2 cups of oil for every ounce. If the trim is not that great, use more cannabis. Personally, I now use buds and the sugar leaves. Cover the cookie sheet with foil and pinch the edges so it forms sort of a seal Put cookie sheet in preheated 220 degree oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (I go for the whole 2) When done, remove and put the cannabis in a mason jar. I crumble it up much better now that it is dry, but I do it over the mason jar. I am sure most will use a grinder but as mentioned, i have a hard time doing that to those poor trichs. Add the oil and stir it up well. Make sure it is all totally saturated with oil. If you have to, add a little more oil until it is. Put the lid on the mason jar and pressure cook. My p.c. is a 15psi and I pressure cook it for 20 minutes. i start the timer when the rocker starts a rockin' After 20 minutes, I turn off the stove and let it cool down naturally. When it is cool, strain it however you strain it and voila, canna oil that will make everyone happy. For the brownies, I like using the Ghiradelli Turtle brownie mix. It is the one that has caramel in it and the caramel goes perfect with the mj taste. It uses 1/3 cup of oil and I also use the canna-oil to lightly grease the 8 x 8 dish. It also takes 1 egg and 1/4 cup of water. Mix it up, add the caramel, cook at 325 for 40 minutes. Enjoy. I like these because they taste great, but I also like the 325 degree cooking temp. Am on my way to cut up and eat a batch now i just took out of the oven. i won;t be sleeping tonight
 
I have always wanted to try edibles, but so nervous about getting too high for too long. I'm a bit of a light weight..smoke about 1 oz. a year at the most - and thats weed that isn't so good! This recipe for oil does sound soooo easy and I do have a pressure cooker. Thanks for sharing this. Just now doing my first grow and after, I think I'll grow something specifically for the edibles and give it a try. One question, you said you won't be sleeping tonight...do the edibles have less of a couch lock/narcotic effect, or is it the strain/harvest method you use?

Hello TN Oldguy,

Very nice. Did you do a similar post before? I thought I saw this a month or so ago, if not you, then someone else with a pressure cooker. I like how you do this.

A couple of things.

Is this medical use? It makes a difference on how to prepare.

Also, when you crumble up bud, and put it into cookies, isn't it decarbed in the cooking process?

Do you know the different temperatures and time frames needed for the different types of decarboxylation? You know, for the different effects.

If not, I can dig them up from the site. IF you need them let me know.

Great job, you'll me a med man in no time my friend.

Peace

Spiker, you need to get into our medical section. Cannabis isn't the only way to take care of your self medically.

Look at the PH area's, get yerself started on that. we can mentor you though the start up period. Lot's of folks feeling a lot better with a few, simple, inexpensive ways of doing things.

Hope to see you there, both of you.
