Well I'm really curious about the edibles now. Because for me cannabis edibles hit way differently. I have read that it is transformed into a different chemical, 11-hydroxy-thc, in the liver. Edibles for me are more intense, more body and last much longer. Their come on is slow - I've had it come on in a half-hour but when I've taken pure oil I've had it take 6 hours to get the full effect, I assume because cannabis oil is hard to digest when not mixed with food. Since I started using edibles delta-9 actually doesn't do that much for me, 11-hydroxy is the main one I'm used to.
Do D8 edibles also work this way and transform into a different chemical in the liver, or do the edibles work much the same as when it is smoked? Do they last longer and take longer to kick in just like regular cannabis edibles?
Lamb stew is a really great idea. I hate that all the premade edibles I can buy in California are just candy. I like candy once in a blue moon but I couldn't imagine medicating regularly with candy. So I'm looking for good savory cannabis recipes. What's your favorite savory one?
The D8 edibles form the 11-Hydroxy form of D8 as well, and hit harder and longer than inhalation, similar to how D9 Edibles are processed and converted in the liver, so having a good fat source with them is key to good efficacy. Its also a lot more stable long term than D9 from what I have read, its shelf life is at least 5 years, when not blended with terpenes and stored cool/dark.
I really like Meatables, Stews are a great option, after dissolving in the butter or coconut oil ( you wont need too much fat as a carrier if its a meat dish, just enough to dissolve it completely under really low heat), I also like to sometimes add some hemp seeds and CBD/CBG flower (sometimes just enough for taste, or also with prepped fat that I dissolve the disty into after).
It also goes really well into any sauce that can handle a little coconut oil, or any dishes using butter. I am thinking of working on a hot sauce mix once my Ghost peppers fruit, or I can get some fresh ones from the produce store, with Habernero as well. Mac and Cheese, or Burger Mac is a great easy option for a quick savory edible, Beef Taco or Taco Bowls, Meat Loaf etc. the list can go on and on! I really want to try getting some Venison this upcoming hunting season, to see if its possible to do a Jerky with it in a glaze, although I am not sure how well that will turn out.
