A couple of mates and I get together to watch music DVDs and YouTube stuff. I found some hooch I had stashed so I took it down for the night.
I’m an asthmatic and have always hated smoking, too late for cookies, never really had much success with tea so my mate who was in charge of the BBQ said how about in a sausage. So we sliced a fair size bratwurst down the middle, put the contraband in the middle ,squeezed the snag shut so the fat softened the herb, divied it up and down the hatch. Just tasted like a sausage with herbs in it.
Worked pretty good too. Think I will be doing that again.
Any Afterworders tried other unusual means of ingestion?
That’s the can-do spirit of innovation and adventure that made Australia great, @junior-wells. Well done!
I think that on Australia Day all patriotic stoners should ingest their hooch via a barbecued sausage.
That’s what I call a real HOT dog. Nice one Junior!
I always thought it had to be cooked somehow to unleash the effects. But I stand corrected!
No, cow like, I have eaten it straight, though straight is not what I was afterwards.
Whilst not in a position to offer an opinion on your sexual orientation or moral probity, you’d have to eat a huge amount of raw marijuana to be anything other than straight JW. Swallowing the plant would only convert a minuscule amount of non-psychoactive THCA to THC and what’s more ,would surely taste awful. Your sausage idea is a better one since the inherent fats would instigate the conversion however even, though the relatively short cooking time would limit the profusion of THC.
You’d be far better spreading some product on a fatty biscuit lathered in peanut butter or nutella then heating it in foil in the oven (or BBQ) for at least 20 minutes.
I should imagine.
Well ,and it was a while ago, they were fresh heads just picked,still sticky and all.Well it didn’t taste great but I wasn’tin it for the culinary experience.
I expect it was less than if ingested by other means but still did the job.
Your comments suggest that tea would be pretty ineffective too.
What if we cooked the snag with hooch inside it?
Cooking it for longer would be better in terms of conversion but the key is the fat content since the protein in the meat would – I think – tend to ameliorate the effect. The most effective method of ingestion if you’re ruling out smoke or vapour is making – and then baking with – canna butter which is a fairly long process.
(Amazing what you learn in 5 years in NImbin.)
and amazed you can still remember what you learned after 5 years in Nimbin.
Sounds like quite the banger.
In terms of ingestion (allegedly – I wouldn’t know), our little pointy hatted friends of the field should not be swallowed. Masticate for about 20 minutes, and then spit out. This will avoid the unpleasant sickly feeling when taking off, and less hassle than getting the saucepan out.
edit: I’m not sure what the shroom situation is in Oz, but I think the basic method would still apply.
Now that is another one . We collected some magic mushrooms in my student days ,blue meanies, and rather than eat raw we put them in the fried rice…well we had no sausages on hand (that’s a joke) .Anyway I was hungry so i gutsed out on the mushies.
We were planning on gping to a fancy dress party across town and figured we had time to get there. Well the mushies hit at the end of the street so it took the three of us one steering, one navigating and the other helping with changing gears for us to get there.
By the time we arrived I was astral planing and didn’t get out of the panel van for 4 hours with Aussie psych prob band Company Caine on repeat on the cassette player.
Lesson measure your dose -oh and don’t drive .
Not heard that before 🙂
Blue Meanies ? Button style, like Peyote ? I had that once in California, on a canoeing/camping rip out in the middle of nowhere. Only a small amount, but very cosmic in a gentle way. Similar with Fly Agaric once – not too strong on the sensory/visual side of things, but odd disjointed perception.
Good old Caps always did it best – a proper amount in the right set and setting. If you can jump about in a nightclub on it, you’re not properly tripping. When you’re surfing the Astrals, dancing with the Goddess and viewing the entire Multiverse in Krishna’s mouth, you have no interest in whistles and ner-ner-ner-ner-neeeeeeerrrrr.
I am more or less retired these days., but here’s to it:
Warm humid areas of the east coast of Australia. More so up north but also parts of Melbourne too obvs.
Creamy gold button top with blue colouring appearing after picked.
‘Creamy gold button top with blue colouring appearing after picked !’ – should be an advertising slogan for the Oz Shroom National Consciousness Expansion Board.
Meanwhile on the humid east coast of Australia…lock up your kittens!

Australia is plagued by feral cats. We need these snakes to get to work on the ferals – human variety too.
The snakes are obviously practising on kittens.
The GLW admitted to me today that she’s always on the lookout for Eastern Browns in the garage, and opens cupboards and drawers extremely carefully. Their favourite place at this time of year apparently. I had no idea – something new to worry about.
I was sitting on the big the other night minding my own business when the gecko that had been chirruping merrily on the ceiling suddenly launched itself into space and landed with a sort of wet thud on my bare foot. Completely harmless, but freaked me out nevertheless. Takes a bit of getting used to, this teeming wildlife.
That’s bog, obvs.
Seriously – I’d find it very difficult living in countries that have deadly venomous creatures of the non human variety. Now I know that they don’t go out of their way to hassle you at all, (unless you’re mistaken for a seal) and it’s usually a misunderstanding and space thing, but even so, sitting down on the toilet in fear of what may lurk and bite or sting your vulnerables (for example) would give me The Fear, so imagine if you had a Jazz Banger or were shroomed up ? I suppose if you grow up in such places you’re sort of adjusted to this, but it took me twenty odd years to have a peace treaty with wasps, and it requires ongoing work, believe me.
I think if you’re brought up with it you just get used to it. In general in the UK we have nothing to worry about(wildlife wise) so I could never live in Australia either. My brother lives in Melbourne and we visited him a couple of years ago, and they told us always to shake towels out before drying yourself after a shower…..also shaking clothes out before putting them on. A school teacher friend of my brother’s told us she had never once sat on a toilet seat without looking under it first…no matter where…London, Paris, Sydney…and she was in her 50’s.
Well I have lived in 2 continents with nasties of various types – AFRICA and Australia and xant say I gave taken many of the precautions cited. Aussies like to freak please poms out though going on the responses here that seems not that hard. Walking in bush in summer has one wary for snakes. A trick a guy told me was, as you walk, to pick small stones and throw them ahead of you so any snakes are alerted and scuttle off. Funny how an innocent nAme like brown snake can be so deadly. Taipan , death added, black mamba, rAttlesnake, sure but brown snake?
We have a house with large gum trees overhead. Large huntsman spiders can drop so we always leave windows shut. People pulling down sun visors and freaking out when a spider drips is a genuine source of accidents. Shoes / boots left outside should be shaken but I’ve never shaken towels etc S a matter of course.
If I lived on northern beaches of Sydney I would worry about funnel web spiders – they are really dangerous.
Sorry about typos – you phone typing
Doh
Magic Mushroom Soup.
When I lived in West Wales, back in the mists of time, some German friends came over on a mushroom hunt. They collected vast quantities (presumably to smuggle back to Deutschland) and just before they departed donated a carrier bag full to the hosts of a party I attended.
The entire bagfull went into an electric soup which was consumed mid-evening.
Space was definitely the place that evening.
Hash coffee works well, but ideally you need nice crumbly red or brown; smeary black is hard to crumble. Break off your lump and crush it into a fine powder. Mix it in a big spoon with a drop or two of hot water, to get a paste, and then just stir it into a decent fresh cuppa of your choice. Changes the flavour of the coffee a tad, but delivers a sledgehammer hit, and pretty fast too.
But surely you’d need some some sort of oil or butter in the brew to ensure that the cannabinoids connect?
yes this has got me wondering about your very technical and convincing argument @garyjohn
cookies have been a staple but I’ve never heard of having to coat them in butter or whatever to release the goodies
You can’t bake a cake (or a cookie) without butter JW. Flour sugar and butter (canna or otherwise) and there you go.
You wouldn’t, @garyjohn
1/8th oz. in a cup of coffee one youthful birthday long ago. I saw space through my friends’ bodies (like the cows on the cover of Hard Nose the Highway).
Black coffee, at that, so not even any fat from the milk.
but it sounds like you are saying that’s a bad thing?
It was somewhat surprising, but didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the evening.
My walk home – just a couple of hundred yards – took rather longer than usual, though…
Ah okay, think we’re talking resin versus grass here which as someone once said, changes everything.
It was indeed resin.
I once watched a mate literally turn green after eating hash cookies. It was scary.
Most folk will be familiar with hash oil in brownies & similar & magic mushrooms stored in jars of honey – very effective for discreet storage & preseving potency ( one has to be VERY careful to ensure the unitiated don’t help themselves, of course!)
But has anybody else come across cannabis beer?
A pal of mine in the dim & distant past used a recipe called ‘ Two’s Too Much – Old English Cannabis Beer’ , I wrote it down & still have it somewhere.
In essence, a competent home brewers substitutes a percentage of hops for buds & proceeds as normal. The results are lethal ( hence the name of the recipe) & stories abounded of peope helping themselves to home brew & then bursting into uncontollable laughter about half an hour later.
It was very popular with home growers who could be very confident it would never be detected if there was a knock at the door. Obviously careful labelling was required.
So are you pissed AND stoned ?
@garyjohn keeps banging on about the need to cook, fats and cannabutter.
No, I don’t buy that. I’ve sampled cannabis beer in the USA where’s it’s freely available and it’s a con; like most flavoured brews. Basically it’s non psycho-active and essentially hemp ale.
Some very helpful info. here:
