Besides smoking, there are other ways to enjoy the herb, such as:
This is a very nice way of consuming pot. One doesn't have to smoke it, so there are no health risks. It takeslonger for the pot to work, though: it can take up to one hour after ingestion for the effects to set in. The effectswill be less strong, but will last longer: about 6-7 hours. When smoked, the effects last about 3-4 hours.
Because of the long interval between the moment of ingestion and the moment the effects set in, the effectstend to 'creep on you': after about one hour after ingestion you can suddenly feel the effects waving through yourentire body. This can be a fantastic feeling.
This has also a negative side: because it takes longer for the pot to work, you notice too late if you had toomuch weed. This is not dangerous because it is impossible to overndose on mj. But it is possible to get too stoned,and sometimes this is not very pleasant. If you get sick it is best to eat something with sugar in it (chocolateor raisins are good). In extreme cases (bad trips) a high dose (200mg or more) of vitamin C may help.
To prepare pot for eating it has to be heated in some way. It won't work if the weed is eaten without preparation.It is very important to use fat (oil, butter, milk) because THC (the stuff that gets you stoned) is fat solubleand not water soluble. It is thus impossible to make pot tea without adding some milk.
For me the best way of preparing the pot is to make some pot butter. Heat water until it boils, and then addbutter and weed. Use enough butter, better use too much than too less. Put in about one joint worth of weed tobegin with. You'll have to experiment a few times to find the right amount. Let it boil for about 10-15 minutes,while stirring. Let it cool down, and put the water with the butter and weed in it in the refrigerator for a while.Then use a knife to carefully scrape of the butter, which will float on top of the water. You can throw the weedaway, as it is useless now all the THC is in the butter. The butter will look a bit green and will smell strongly.Use the butter in any recipe that contains butter.
If you're in a hurry you can also do the following: melt some (dairy) butter in a pan and throw in some weed;stir a bit, and then fry an egg (or a pancake or whatever) in it. Don't throw the weed away, it will still containsome THC. Eat the egg or whatever you made. Sweet stuff (honey, sirup, marmelade) tastes good with weed.
