I know this thread is rather verbose, but I wanted to supply as much relevant information as possible. If it's too much, just briefly skim through and you'll get the gist of it I'm sure 
I own a vaporizer (Arizer extreme Q), a pipe, and I'm very interested in making edibles and tinctures.
For the last eight months, I've been using these implements on a semi-regular basis. Some months I'd toke every night, some months every other night, and a couple months ago I took a 30 day tolerance break. My first few times with Marijuana were really great, and I immediately fell in love with the feeling of being stoned, but since, I've been completely unable to feel any noteworthy effects after consuming large quantities of pot. The tolerance break did nothing; when I returned to toking, the highs were no better than before.
I've sat down and smoked 6 bowls in my pipe, one after another, as fast as I can in one sitting, vigorously clamoring get a taste of the "high". Instead I get almost nothing. When I smoke/vaporize enough pot, I get a slightly "different" feeling, but nothing really noteworthy, interesting, or worth it. I get a much stronger buzz lately after drinking a 5-hour-energy shot than a Green Dragon shot.
The Arizer Extreme Q Vaporizer can only be loaded with up to a half gram each go, and it takes time to use, so it's not very efficient for quickly shoveling large amounts of THC into your bloodstream. A bong would be better, but I figured the best option would be edibles, as there isn't really a limit to how much you can take at one time.
I've spent months researching and trying to hone various processes in making edible-form pot. I just made an excellent batch of brownies with 8 grams of ground buds. From many many sources and tutorials, given these measurements, eating 1 brownie was supposed to result in a heavy stone effect, and 2 is supposed to be too much. I ate three and a half brownies in one sitting. Nothing happened. I've had the exact same experience (which is nothing at all) after trying several green dragon batches, coconut oil infusions, you name it. Over the last eight months, I've completely wasted well over an ounce of pot trying to make an edible that does at least something. Nothing does.
I don't have many friends that like pot, but I have given an edible to a friend, who reported that it was effective. The edible I gave them contained several times less pot than what I have consumed.
I drank a shot of Green Dragon that was supposed to be ten doses. Felt nothing.
So what's the deal guys? Am I getting bad pot? It seems unlikely, I get my pot from a house of really cool people that are smoking it while I'm there picking some up -- they all seem to have a good stone there on the couch.
I don't think it's the typical tolerance thing, as in my case it seems I acquired the tolerance within the first few days, and not even my 30 day pot-break did any good.
Thankfully at least though, half a gram through the vaporizer is enough to make me a little sleepy, so I still have been using it many nights to help against insomnia (most expensive sleep medication ever though).
I feel really bummed out. I just want to experience something different. Something interesting. I'm spending all the money, putting in all the work, receiving all the lung damage -- I feel like I deserve at least some of the high. In the mean time, I've began drinking, and am starting to research mycology (I bet I can find some shrooms near my back yard).
I really don't want to give up on pot, but I don't know how to get it to work. What should I do? A part of me wants to make a 5-gram single-dose brownie, but I won't because I'll be too upset when it just doesn't work like all of the others.
P.S.
Additional potentially useful information -- My sister tried the vaporizer once, and woke up with hives the next morning. She did however, experience a marvelous high/stone (like my first couple times). The hives persisted for like 48 hours. We assume she's allergic to pot, but there is the remote possibility it was triggered by something else (which seems unlikely, because she didn't do anything or go anywhere for that whole week). Considering that she's my sister, and genetically similar, I was wondering if it is possible to have a kind of "half allergy", like perhaps my liver sees pot as foreign and detoxifies it out too quickly for me to get stoned, but I'm not allergic enough to get full blown hives or other symptoms? I don't know, it's a shot in the dark, I'm just rambling at this point
