 Am I baking my firecrackers too hot or too cool?

I've been doing 300 to 305 degrees fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes.
They have been having an effect but not anywhere near as much as they should be.
Should I try a lower or higher tempature?
What heat should it be at and for what time?

Man just make a good batch of butter and save that in the fridge and whenever you want an edible get some and spread it on toast with some sugar or whatever. Firecrackers are so iffy most the time I'd rather just have a solid stash of butter ready to be used all day.

See, that term pedo gets thrown around a lot.
Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

Yea, firecrackers are a hit-and-miss thing for me.
I started making brownies with my vaped weed.
Worked on my extraction method with the vaped weed
before I dedicate too much fresh weed to brownies 
At the moment I use 8g of fresh weed to a batch of brownies.
The package calls for 1/3 cup oil. So I add my finely ground weed to 1/3 cup oil and put in a cool oven. Set temp @ 325 and let the oven and oil get warm. Allow oil to set at temp for 2 hours, stirring every ~20 min. Let cool at least an hour, strain through some cheese cloth and use that in the brownie mix. Cook brownies @ 325 for about 60 minutes or till done. [I've read to not heat the cannabis over 350]
Makes 8 potent brownies 
My next batch I will cook the oil/herb mix for 3 hours to see if their is a potency increase. Im trying to find the proper time/temp combo to get all the goodies from the herb in a timely fashion. I tried making canna-butter but it was taking WAY too long and wasn't nearly as potent as this new method.

I used to bake mine at around 320-330, also.
But, no bullshit, once in highschool I just went ahead and ate a whole dimebag on the bus and it got me high as shit, I didn't even have to heat it up 
I just chewed it up and washed it down with some sprite.
I'm just crazy like that.

I've wasted a lot of kief with firecrackers, and I've never had them work for me. I've tried
many times, and it's not worth it. Cannabudder is definitely the way to go.

If the herb is properly cured you can get high just by eating it (not as high as burning it obviously)
Its a myth that herb has to be bound to an oil in order for your body to process it.

Good to know.
I had read somewhere that the THC had to be activated by heat in order to produce
any effects, not so much that it had to be bound to some sort of fat.
As far as it being properly cured, I'm not so sure.
I wouldn't recognize properly cured bud if I saw it, and this stuff was some
schwaggy mexican pangola (dirt weed).
I ate it sticks, stems, bud, seeds, and all, because, well, I'm just that hardcore.

If it was dried (not fresh) then it went through a mild heating process.
Raw undried cannabis is not psychoactive

Guy @ 4:20 looks like
So I guess it was active because it was aged...
I'm not so sure it was dried with heat, because some people just hang buds up to dry.

Maybe this just isn't the thing for you man. I've never known someone who could not make them or get wasted on them. I doubt you are doing them wrong. Maybe just find something else to move on to? Firecrackers aren't the best IMO anyway. I think they get way too much attention, possibly because their name suggests they have power. You can easily cook mj into almost anything that has some fat/oil in it. Just don't burn it.

I am not a cannabis grower. I find the cannabis growers to be the most open to experimenting and sharing out of all of the different botany groups I enjoy. I frequently use the suggestions that I find to apply to own organic gardening and food production.
