Best Firecrackers Ever!

first of all, bake your pot on a sheet of tin foil at 250-260deg until when you pinch a nug it breaks apart into dust (usualy 10-15 mins for somewhat fresh stuff)
this is the process of converting 80-90% of whatever inactive alkaloids are left into thc and thcv sometimes it can double or even triple the potency of your bud if you try smoking it after this process... it will bake out most of the smell and flavor though, so if your picky about that and dont care more for the medical sedation, then maybe its not for you. i can make an ounce last much longer this way though.
now on to the firecrackers:
this is how i make em and they are DANK
Get Box of graham crackers A jar of high-fat creamy peanut butter Chocolate chips Toothpick
break the cracker in half so u have two equaly sized squares, and swab em both with peanut butter so theres at least 1/2cm to a full cm of peanut swabbed on one side of each cracker. You should be able to just pinch and roll a nug in your finger and have it turn into coffee-grinder style dust if you used the above method of increasing potency. Sprinkle 0.25 on each cracker half and use the toothpick to mix it in with the peanut butter... Add as many chocolate chips to one side as u think u will enjoy, and press em together, wrap em tightly in tin foil, and bake on the top or top middle rack at 320deg for 20 minutes.
one shouldnt worry about the peanut butter being runny once it heats, and the tinfoil makes sure theres no mess and that it doesnt burn the outside but lets it heat to the right temperatures. when the peanut butter gets hot it will turn solid like clay, it doesnt get runny.
Graham crackers are best for this cause they add to the flavor, i used to just add saltines and it wasnt that good. now i add graham crackers and a few chocolate chips, the thc and peanut oil usualy get soaked into the cracker, making the whole thing one solid biscuit of yum.
anyways, make a few of these and use that preparation i first spoke of, it will make a whole world of difference to your potency both edible and smoked.
and the documented research behind pre-baking:
"In many instances, it is possible that cooking will increase the potency of marijuana. In freshly harvested hemp much, and sometimes all, of its THC is present in the form of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid. The percentage depends upon such factors as time of harvest and the climate in which the plant itself was grown. Unripe grass or grass grown in northern climates is likely to contain more THC acid than THC. The acid is not psychoactive, but upon drying much of it converts to active THC by a natural process known as decarboxylation. Most of the remaining acid will convert to THC during a period of two years. Unfortunately, much of this THC will oxidize in this much time. If the decarboxylation could take place in an oxygen-free environment, oxidation would not simultaneously occur. The application of heat can further decarboxylate uncoverted THC acids in the dried product."
and
"If the material containing the THC acids is heated to about 212ºF (boiling temperature of water) for 75 minutes in a nitrogen or carbon dioxide atmosphere (one free of oxygen), all of these acids will convert to THC. Traditional cannabis recipes often call for sauteing of the ganja in oil or butter before using. The oil protects the product from oxygen, while the heat activates the THC. This activation also occurs in the extraction of hash oil from weed and in any hash manufacturing procedures where heating or boiling is involved."
both quoted from The Art and Science of Cooking with Cannabis, by Adam Gottlieb, published by 20th century alchemist, 1973.

In the science part behind the method it mentions that oxidization will occur if not in an oxygen free environment.
Is an oven an oxygen free environment? I've pre-baked my bud a couple times for the firecrackers and to just smoke, I have a high tolerance and me and my girlfriend haven't noticed any significant difference other than it stinking up my house. Would it be more effective if the weed were covered or if you just saute'd it like it mentions above?

I always keep what ever I'm using wrapped in tin foil. I never bake in the open. Check my recipe: Making Firecrackers Using Dank Trim

Made me some firecrackers a minute ago. Down the hatch. Mmmmmmm
Put some butter in the peanut butter to maximize effects. Other than that I followed this recipe to the T.
BUMP LOL
