@NaturallyMe Eating has a few benefits: 1) You’re eating – YAY! 2) You’re not smoking (your lungs thank you)
3) So there are two types of weed: Shwag and chronic. Chronic is the buds on the marijuana plant, and shwag is the leaves. They’re both street terms, not botany terms. Chronic is the good stuff – a 20 sack, or 20 dollars worth, will get you maybe 3 or 4 bowls. This is a pipe, you can see the bowl in it. It’s not a standardized measure by any means, but more of colloquial measurement. Shwag, on the other hand, is MUCH cheaper and much less awesome. It’s what you get when you want to bring a joint to a concert but don’t want to pay more than a buck or two for total strangers to get high. Because shwag is so nasty if smoked directly – really, it’s a very poor high, I can’t stand it – it becomes perfect for edibles, because you need so much to make “bud butter”. In making bud butter, you melt butter, then add weed, then strain and chill. But for 1 lb of butter, you need ½ oz of weed – if you were using chronic, that’d be $100—$150. But if you use shwag, it’ll be under $50. Then you can use the half cup or whatever to make your brownies and pass them out among your friends without spending half your weekly salary to get other people high.
4) Eating does have to create a different high. It’s different on each person, so there’s no way to describe it, but stoners do like to mix it up, just like the rest of us.
