The Straight Toke - THE Marijuana Blog

1)Can you really just sprinkle any ol' weed on top of food and eat it? I know that eating it keeps the effects longer, but I don't want to waste any.
2)Also, am I getting ripped off for paying 70$ a quarter for various types of cannibus [sic] that are basically average?

In answer to your first question: yes, but you'll get better results with food with a high lipid content (i.e. high in fat.) As I've pointed out in previous posts, THC is lipid soluble, so for maximum effect, grind up the cannabis as fine as possible (being careful not to throw away the dust/crystals left at the bottom of your grinder) and mix the resulting grounds with a high-fat food (such as peanut butter.) Heating the food may help to draw out some of the THC. For best results in your scenario, I recommend the following:

1. Cover some crackers with a thin layer of peanut butter.
2. Sprinkle a layer of ground marijuana over the peanut butter.
3. Cover the cannabis with another thin layer of peanut butter.
4. Repeat steps two and three a couple times.
5. Add another cracker on top of the peanut butter and cannabis mix.
6. Put the two-cracker sandwich(es) in an oven, and heat at a low temperature (below 200°F or 93°C) for about five minutes. (Cooking time may vary, so play around with this step until you find the time that works best for you -- you want the peanut butter to be warm and toasty.)
7. Eat. 1/8th ounce between two crackers will get you well and truly baked for hours on end.

Note: Rather than layering peanut butter and cannabis, you may find that it's easier to grind a large amount of weed and mix it into peanut butter before hand. This is a much more efficient method when making a large number of snacks. Again: be sure to get every last bit out of the grinder, as the powdery residue is absolutely full of THC. Obviously the better the quality of the weed, the more potent the resulting food products will be.

As for your second question, there's really no way for me to answer that. Prices vary wildly across the world -- as does the definition of "average". What is considered "average" pot in some parts of the US would be considered a low grade bud in one of Amsterdam's top coffeeshops. Since both quality and price ranges vary tremendously from place to place, I can't comment on the price you're paying.

Your Brother in Peace,
