[…] The Dose is the Poison episode […]
A few years ago, before we got our medical cards, my family was going camping with our kids and friends (who didn’t smoke) in a National Forest. We knew we wouldn’t be able to smoke, so I thought I’d make up some brownies. (You already know where this is going.) I had looked up some recipes online but the quantity of weed was vague and didn’t seem to make a distinction as to the quality.
On the fateful day, we’d woken up in the great outdoors, had breakfast, got the kids involved in some activity, and my wife and I each ate a half of a brownie and went about our day.
We were soooooooo stoned and we were sooooo trying to not act like it. I remember we walked down a trail to the lake and the trail kept tipping sideways and we really weren’t 100% sure where our kids or dogs were. (turns out the dogs were on the end of the leashes we were holding in our hands.)
It took most of the day to get back to a semi-reasonable state, but even then, building a fire and/or cooking on the gas stove was out of the question. And we were paranoid our friends would catch on.
We finally admitted to the wife of the other couple what happened. She laughed and laughed because it turned out that SHE had a medical card and had purchased some infused cheez-its for the trip. She hadn’t said anything because she didn’t want us to know.
I want to start making some treats again but want to know how to do it reasonable. I’d like to make something that’s like the size of a cookie, but where I can eat the whole thing without getting wasted.
You’ve come to the right place Rick! You can definitely make all kinds of great edibles that are tailored to your preferred dose so you can enjoy that cookie and still stand upright!
