I am a serious chocoholic and would LOVE to get my hands on this! -Mrs. Chubbs

Name: I Can’t Believe It’s Pot Butter Brownie
From: Apothecary 420 (Dispensary – Los Angeles)
Grade: B+
Type: Hybrid (?)
Price: $15
Looks: Like a squared off piece of very moist Duncan Hines cakes that my Aunt used to make. The size was larger than most average brownies I have seen. The brownie is vacuum sealed.
Taste: This was so moist! With most edibles, you can detect that distinct cannabis taste and with this brownie that taste was very, very faint, probably undetectable to most. The brownie itself was quite rich – sticks to your mouth. The chocolate icing with white swirl would make any sweet tooth smile with joy. An excellent tasting cannabis-based edible.
Buzz Stats: Consumed entire brownie at 12:50p during a sunny afternoon on an empty stomach. Prior smoke was appx 12 hours earlier. The brownie was my first intake of the day. It was purchased 4 days earlier and stored in the refrigerator. The brownie sat out at room temperature for about 3 hours prior to consuming.
Buzz Journey: Knowing the effects of edibles are not immediate, I consumed my brownie while returning home from conducting some morning errands. I’ve bought edibles before and given my history, it made sense for me to consume the entire piece (most might want to only consume half at first). I get home and started to do some things around the house and realized an hour has gone by and I really did not feel medicated. So I pulled out my bong then said to myself … “clean it.” As I am cleaning my bong, it finally hit me.
I am about an hour and 15 post-ingestion now. I start to feel hella mellow. The back of my eyes get heavy but I don’t get Chinese eyes. Indo qualities overtake my body. I am like … “damn, this one hella creeped up on me” … the creep was frustratingly slow but, hit hella hard. At this time I am so glad I did not fire up my bong and get some smoke on. When eating this, I did not want anything else to interfere so I can really judge the effects of this edible.
It’s about 3:45p and I am beyond baked. I am watching the football games with KLOS in the background. KLOS (So-Cal Classic Rock radio station) is jamming Led Zeppelin and then Rush. I am like, “damn!” Rush never sounded so good! I got so into the music I tuned out the football games. About 4:30p my body began to tingle from head to toe. I felt alert but now with some serious red Chinese eyes. That tingle was short lived as my head went heavy shy of 5pm and I started to get hella mellow again where my focus was back on the football games.
Around 6pm I felt pretty much back to normal with just a little heaviness behind the eyes. So this one full brownie on an empty stomach with no other form of medication during the day was about a 5 hour run. The journey was like a traditional bell curve. The first hour the body was absorbing the medicine … hours 2-3-4 were the peak medication times … hour 5 was wind down. The dominant effects were more Indo-like vs. Sativa. At no time did I feel couch-locked but I felt best for that 30 minute or so run from 4:30p-5p when I had a body tingle.
Some Tips: Edibles are way different than flowers. Since edibles are usually one dose (unless you buy lots), write your review “real time.” In order for an edible to really take charge, the edible has to have more THC vs. what you body currently has. This is why I consumed my brownie as my first “meal” of the day on an empty stomach after a good sleep. Actually, it may be best if you don’t smoke for a full day (or two/three) before having an edible. Have lots of time to chill. As you can see, you can have a good 3+ hour run on top of the hour or so it takes to ramp the medicine up in your body and the additional hour when your “buzz” wears down. Opportunity knocked at the last minute (on my own with no family ALL day), so I had to take advantage, although I did not plan to consume my edible today.
Store your edibles in the fridge! Your collective should have them stored in a cooler/refrigerator too. When ready to consume, take out of the fridge and bring to room temperature unless directed otherwise by the packaging.
Overall: The “I Can’t Believe It’s Pot Butter Brownie” is a solid edible. It’s by the far the best edible offered by A420 for me and I have tried many with little success (or I had to consume so much that the cost factor is not worth it – such as three lollipops during one session instead of one). This is definitely an edible I’d purchase again. I don’t give it an A grade only because I do feel the effects took very long to creep, especially on an empty stomach. Also, I wish the overall buzz strength was much stronger. When I try this again, I think I’ll will when I go dry for few days. Giving the body a THC ingestion break for a few days might the be ticket in giving this brownie a “A” grade. Also for record, I am a pretty big and muscular guy so edibles are “harder” to work on me. That being said, this brownie might fit most of you very well. -IE420Patient
