I want to experiment with making some stupid strong edibles & I can't find proper research on how much THC one can dissolve into oil before it's saturated and a waste of weed

Used to be quite the edible chef. I think it's technically possible to fully saturate the coconut oil, but I don't think it's functionally possible. I once made edibles that had 1/8th of wax per dose and those definitely hit like 1/8th of wax. And for the record, especially back then, I had the edible tolerance to tell the difference between doses when they're that high. Even now, after a year and a half long break from weed/edibles, I have to take a 200mg edible every night to get sleep, and that doesn't even always work. If I want consistentcy, I have to take about 600mg and at that point I'm not even high, just a little sleepy

    you accidentally added an extra 0, right? anakin-padme-2

    right anakin-padme-4

    That is what being a street edible chef will get you. I'd make all my money back selling like 5 edibles, I always priced out my recipes/dosing to make my money back after 5. But I'd make like 50 pieces, so I got to eat A LOT of edibles back then. Pretty much fried me on edibles, even after my break.

    Yeah I take 200mg a night, and that's because that's the highest dose that's financially viable.I can get 50 200mg edibles for about $30

    Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

    I'll probably keep the dosages a little lower than that but it's good to know I don't really need to worry about an upper limit or the cannabis not infusing properly

    So you are saying you can buy Rick Simpson Oil and take 10 grains of rice worth and feel slightly tired? To be honest, I don't believe that is possible or you are measuring it wrong. I have been dosing RSO for years and can't take that much and I have cancer patient level tolerance

    I don't know about every day but i know a couple people who need to approach 800-1000mg of edibles to actually feel fucked up off them.

    I personally don't bother with edibles because the way my body seems to process them i can't feel a thing until I'm in space. No in between at all

    yeah, I just don't believe those numbers are accurate not that people don't think they can do it or they have some kind of genetics where they simply are no longer metabolizing and their liver skips it. I'd like to see them try the rso I make. I've never met someone who can take that much and I produce medicinal strength cannabis.

    Only bought RSO once, I needed quite a bit to feel it. But this was back in my peak edible days. By this point, I had been munching on 4 of my 250mg brownies in a night on the regular, more on a good business day. I had dealer/junkie tolerance

    Smoking is generally a better ROA for me for weed, I buy a sev of shake for $20 on payday every two weeks and that almost lasts me the whole time. I do run out around day 11, but I learned this week that I'm well liked enough by my co workers to not have to worry about that anymore. Even after a years long break on edibles, I still need 200mg to be consistently useful.

    I don't think that is tolerance, I think you must have some kind of genetics where your liver doesn't metabolize it. I have a serious pain disorder and have been intentionally building a tolerance for over 25 years and can't approach 200 mg without going out for 3 days.

    I know it's tolerance because I had like 2 years of doing an occasional edible before I became a dealer and had the supply to make my tolerance. Edibles didn't always hit like this, while I have always had a higher tolerance than the people in my state, I used to take about 60mg of edible a night and I was BAKED off that in the early dayd

    I was both a dealer at the level called "trafficking" then a "pre-legal" grower and now licensed grower lol and I can take 50 mg. There is something else going on there that is not normal

    I mean my first edible ever was 500mg, and I consider that my first ever psychedelic experience. It's never hit me like that since, but it used to hit me like a normal-ish person

    Edit: and for reference, I'd go through about an ounce of distillate a week on edibles alone back when I was dealing. I'd say I probably ate at least 1/3 of that minimum, not to mention taking dabs and smoking blunts 24/7.

    Someone that takes anything like they're a junkie can develop tolerances far beyond what anybody else can. Back when I was into opiates, I knew people who would take 2x the dose my Grandma got when she was on hospice just to stay out of withdrawal. My opiate tolerance never got that high, but still. My brain has the tolerance of someone that used drugs to get fucking blasted
