Turns out I can't delete this, so will just edit this in:
I get it, abv is terrible and I'm a clown for trying to replicate something thousands of other people seem to be doing successfully (but no one here, obviously).
Please don't bother responding, I'm done here.
My last (and first) post here was about getting my canna-coconut-oil strained, which I eventually did. Ended up with a whole litre of oil! My next step was to make some edibles to test it out.
I made a simple vegan fudge to a recipe I found online, to give you an idea of scale (converted to metric) it was: 525g chocolate, 370ml tin of condensed milk, and 28g canna coconut oil. If it matters, once it chilled in the fridge, there was a small amount of fat bloom on the top of the fudge (the rest was homogenous).
I have no way (I know of) of testing the potency of the oil as, being in the UK, the weed is from ~a guy~, rather than from a dispensary that has such information! If it helps, it is all one strain (Stardog) and was all vaped at no higher than 185 degrees C.
At first I just took a small bite of fudge and waited, but nothing happened. The next day I ate the rest of the piece I took the bite from and waited, again nothing, the next day a whole piece at once, nothing, and today two pieces at once and nothing again (I was doing this each morning, before my first vape of the day, to try and minimize overlap. After 1-2hr of no effect I continued to vape as usual). I think I have pretty high tolerance (medicate several times a day and have done for well over a decade, am not able to take a break as some pain comes back within less than a day without), but little experience with edibles (and a strong aversion to feeling sick, which is what I read happens if you eat too much), so I was erring on the side of caution, perhaps a little too much?
Do I just keep eating more until I feel something? If so, and it ends up taking a whole load of fudge to have any impact, that seems like an inefficient way to consume, so how do I make a stronger edible next time (I assume just upping the oil might ruin the recipe?)? Is there a better way to test the oil itself without having to eat it neat but also without having to make whole more batches of food to test?
Have I missed something else?
TIA!
