thanks for the drying trim advice. i'm gonna dry them nearby the buds, then oven-crisp, then grind, then make cannabutter.
and i've definitely eaten too much cannabutter (not sure if OD is the right word, because it's still not technically toxic). it's MUCH easier to eat too much than to smoke too much. how much butter can a person reasonably eat in one sitting? quarter batch of brownies? and considering how strong you can make said brownies, you could easily without even noticing eat 20 times more than you're used to smoking.
that's why, on a related note, when we pass prop 19 in california (and similar legalization measures in the near or medium term future around the country), there need to be very clear and consistent labels and content info on packaged edibles. i think.
