Easy-to-Make Edibles: THE STEP-BY-STEP FIRECRACKER FAQ (with pictures!)

[reeferman420]

Marijuana-laced food is a longer-lasting, healthier method of THC ingestion, preferred by many but not as common as smoking because of the work involved in making it. While there's nothing quite like chomping down on a "special brownie" and waiting as that tingling feeling settles into you and intensifies until you suddenly realize "holy shit, i'm BLAZED!", many feel that it takes too much effort, time and money to make canna-oil or canna-butter and bake a big batch of brownies.

However, there is a solution to this problem. The wonderful creation known as Firecrackers is quick and easy, and you can make single servings at a time (rather than full batches) if you so desire.

First off, here's what you'll need:

-Marijuana, finely ground (about .5g of "dank" per dose/serving)


Pictured above is a quarter ounce (7g) of Thai Haze, bought straight from a Cannabis Club and ground up mere minutes before being used. Today we'll be making 14 of these babies, in case you couldn't do the math. (Also, if you don't have access to an herb grinder, I recommend putting your weed in a shot glass or similarly-shaped container and shredding furiously with scissors. It takes a while, but it works.)

-Nutella OR Peanut Butter (about 1 tablespoon per dose/serving)


(VERY IMPORTANT: If using peanut butter, you must use the all-natural kind, NOT Jif or Skippy or some such garbage. If you're not sure, check the ingredients: the only two things you should see listed are peanuts and salt. This is because THC is fat-soluble, and the all-natural peanut butter has much more fat content than the other kinds. If you still can't figure that out, use Nutella. There's only one kind, so you can't screw it up. Plus, it's easier to spread and it tastes better.)

-Graham Crackers (1 big rectangle per dose/serving)
-Aluminum Foil
-Knife (doesn't have to be sharp, a butter knife is perfect)



-Oven (Regular or toaster oven, either works. I usually use a toaster oven because it heats up faster and is more convenient for small batches)

DIRECTIONS:

1. If you have not done so already, divide up any weed you may have into sections of roughly .5g, like so:



2. Break those graham cracker rectangles into squares.



3. Spread some Nutella/PB on each square, like so:



4. After all squares have been covered with Nutella/PB, evenly distribute .5g of marijuana on HALF of them.



5. Carefully and gently press the two squares (one with herb, one without) together. If you see any exposed flakes of herb on the sides, smear some Nutella/PB over them, otherwise the THC will vaporize during cooking, rather than being absorbed into the stuff, possibly getting your oven stoned but wasting your weed. You now have an complete, yet uncooked, Firecracker. We're not done just yet!



6. At this point, you should probably preheat your oven to 325 F, if you have not done so already.



7. Wrap your Firecrackers up in foil, making sure they are completely covered on all sides. If you wrap them in groups rather than individually, make sure you put them side-by-side and not on top of each other.




8. Bake your foil-wrapped treats at 325 F for 22 minutes. Once they have cooled off, the Nutella/PB will have dried up and solidified quite a bit, making storing/eating them non-messy.

STORAGE:
Because none of the ingredients require refrigeration (unlike brownies, which use eggs), Firecrackers can keep for a while, even if you just leave them wrapped in foil and stick 'em in a drawer for a couple weeks. They'll still taste okay, and they will certainly get you high.

HOW HIGH WILL YOU GET?
The intensity, duration, and time it takes for you to get high depends heavily on your THC tolerance, your body weight, how full your stomach is, and of course... the potency of the herb used.

Empty stomach = Stronger high, not as long-lasting
Full stomach = More subtle high, longer-lasting

As an example... I'm 5'10" and I weigh about 160lbs. After eating one of these on a semi-full stomach (about an hour after dinner), they took about 1 hour to kick in, and I was extremely stoned for about 5 hours.

IMPORANT NOTE: If you feel that the high from one sandwich is not enough, make sure you wait AT LEAST an hour before you eat another. Otherwise, it's very possible that you end up getting way higher than you planned, which, in extreme cases, can be very frightening for the user.

DOES IT SMELL LIKE WEED WHEN YOU COOK THEM?
Provided that you didn't leave a bunch of weed uncovered by Nutella/PB, then no. It should smell like toasted graham crackers, and that's about it. If you think that suspicious parents might question your baking activities anyway, simply make a few of these without the weed and calmly eat one in front of your parents, saying something like, "Mmm, that kid in my math class was right, these ARE delicious!"

Anyway, that's about it. Feel free to ask any questions about Firecrackers in this forum and I will be happy to answer.

Also, sorry for the use of ImageShack, but I don't know how to use Spoilers for photos. Could a mod. explain to me how this is done?

Holy shit man! These are great +Rep for sure!

I love cooking with weed. I'll definitely make some. Nutella crackers are sweet, now that I can get high on them they're awesome. Never thought about that actually. It's probably the first thing that came to your mind.

Good work, yhis should be in FAQs.

[Tweaker]

Rep + Sounds fun, now i can go camping go to school etc and get high

[gparent]

That sounds great, actually. +Rep'd

[Myth]

Nice, +rep!

[masterofpuppets222]

great faq! I saw somewhere else where I fucked up in making mine in this. I didn't sandwich them, so my oven got stoned, but I didn't lol.

+rep'd btw

[SemiKiler]

This FAQ is awesome, especially because you have pictures. Very nice. May have to try these out sometime. +rep

[dnbmember]

Ballin' post + rep

[Loner13]

This is a kickass FAQ. You definetly get +rep from me. This is extra good for me since I'm considering stopping smoking pot and just doing this now.

[reeferman420]

Earlier tonight (at about 6:30 PM) I ate one of the above-pictured Firecrackers on an empty stomach right before a party; it was an excellent time, I was stoned for 5 hours straight. That Thai weed felt like a strong mostly-sativa strain; I had a pretty nice head high going all evening.

[Ahkei]

I tried this once with Peanut Butter, but I don't think I used the right stuff. They just tasted horrid and didn't get me high.

I'll try them with Nutella tonight if I can.

[Frequency]

Oh my god. This is a godsend. Thankyou so much for this FAQ. I've been wondering what a good recipe was and now i got one. +rep'd.

[reeferman420]

Thanks for the +rep, guys! Let me know how this recipe worked out for you.

[Metameme]

+rep, I would love to try these!

[GimmeFiction]

Wow! Thank you for this, I'm planning on making a batch of my own tonight from some sour kush I bought at school today, but does the baking time change much if you bake, say 2, instead of 5?

[jesusfish]

No, the baking time would stay the same.

I made 6 of these with 4 sweets a few nights ago.

After eating one I was probably the most stoned Ive been in like 3 years. It was retarded. Almost too much. lol And it lasted SO long.

I couldnt do much. Just sit there and watch TV. It was fun though.

Took about 30 minutes till I started feeling it, and about an hour and 15 min before it was in full effect.

[reeferman420]

4 sweets?

[Anonymous D]

4 sweets?

Blunts.

A nickel bag.

Thats just one of the things we call them down here.

[reeferman420]

Ah, righto. Glad the recipe worked out for ya.

[Anonymous D]

The only bad thing Ill say about these is that after you cook them and they cool, they REEK the weed. I had them wrapped in tin foil in my car and the whole car smelled like pot. I put them in a little sealed container and its fine though.

I noticed this too... it's weird, I'm not sure why it would happen. They don't smell like it when you cook them, but they seem to gain a distinct marijuanial (new word, i just made it up) aroma after they cool down.

Nope, they dont smell at all when you cook them. But when they are just sitting they reek the pot. It doesnt smell like pure pot, but Im pretty sure almost any parent would recognize the pot smell.

[enfect]

You got this shit down to a science. Repd+

[reeferman420]

Here's how I get around that issue... wrap them in foil, then put that in a big gallon Ziplock. Problem solved.

[trickz]

Wow, I just ate one, and they tasted horrible. Oh well, we'll see how high I get.

[watchedpot]

Thanks a ton, I got really curious about these things thanks to the recent thread about eating weed... I went out last night at 1:30 AM trying to get nutella, they only had JIF which you advised against...

I headed back home and tried using lowfat peanut butter, it actually did the trick. I was so high that I fell asleep an hour into the "High", and woke up still stoned. I just made a new firecracker tonight, JUST ate it, I can't wait... I mixed two kinds of herbs.

Spoiler for Cookie:

firecracker - 1 bite

just ate it

Your method is perfect. I must get my hands on nutella!

[enfect]

I'm saying we should try it with dulce de leche... Genious.

[coming.undone]

That nutella looks like chocolate frosting, whats it taste like? I can't stand peanutbutter.

[reeferman420]

It pretty tastes like chocolate, but it's a more complex flavor that I can't really describe. Maybe it tastes like hazelnuts? (Hazelnuts are the main ingredient, which is why it has such a high fat content) I wouldn't know, I've never eaten hazelnuts before.
