whether it's infused in fat or alcohol...

Seems like whenever I make any kind of edible/ingestible on my own, onset is usually around 3 hours. I've tried infusing in both fat and 151 rum. Both in a water bath AND in a Mighty Fast Infuser. I've also tried with and without liquid soy lecithin AND granular lecithin. Onset always seems to be about the same. I've also tried a range of decarb temps and times. Does anyone have any suggestions or have been in a similar situation? Thanks.

The one thing I’ve noticed is that eating something fatty while or just after taking my edible ... speeds uptake and effect. A buttery fried egg was my solid rocket booster.

the fat acts as a carrier, but 3 hrs is a long time, are you sure youve decarbed it enough b4 making your edible?

I do this with my brownies.
Rosin dissolved in coconut oil and a tbs or 2 of sunflower lecithin.
Decarbed in a 275 degF oven for an hour.
They always hit within 45 minutes.

after today, I think not decarbing long/hot enough might be a huge factor.
Today I decided to try Master Wu's recipe and do it as instructed (never was too keen on trying it before because I didn't think 5 min of decarb and 20 min of infusion would do anything)

I did a gram and used my brand new silicone box.
It took quite a while to get to 325. Stayed around 250 for a good 10 min until I cranked it up... then it shot up to like 350 and I had to keep taking it in and out of the toaster oven, taking the silicone lid on/off etc. It kept shootingabove and below the target temp of 325 but
a) it was definitely AT 325 for a total of 5 min.
b) it wasn't too much over 325 that often.
c) it was between 220-275 for at least 20 min

Boiler bathed it w/151 at around 170F for 20 min (fluctuated between 165-185).

It's definitely a SLOOOOOOOOW high but I started feeling it significantly w/in 45 min. I'm at 2hr 4min as of writing this and I'm feeling nicely stoned. I think I'll fiddle more w/decarbing now that I have the silicone box and monitor. But I also think it might be better to take out all the guess work and just grind it and let it sit in some 151 for a good 2 months.

Though I'm wondering now if the slow method I just mentioned isn't as potent as a decarbed dragon method or is as potent but has a delayed onset. Another thing I want to experiment with is to put the raw ground bud and 151 mixture in my Mighty Fast Infuser on the 4 hour cycle before jarring/storing for the two months. Or maybe I could do half and see which one is stronger in two months. Ok, I'm definitely higher now than when Iast mentioned that I was high :P:-D

Use a different medium. Use sugar or honey and make candy or other edibles with it or use alone. It's a very fast onset, sometimes within minutes. :cool:
