---Update 12/11/12---
Over the past week, I have been refining my packaging/shipping methods. I will be further testing my new methods this week and the beginning of next week. Due to this testing, shipping of samples and my opening sale will be delayed until 12/18/12. I apologize for the delay, but I will not begin shipping orders until I am sure I can keep my future customers and myself safe.
Also, I will be selecting the final forums members to receive samples over the next 3 days. If I have told you in a post or private message that you will be receiving a sample, just wait for the private message with the link to the sample listing on SR. DO NOT send me your shipping information in a private message. I feel like that shouldn't be necessary to say, but a few people have done so already.
I would also like to thank everyone who has expressed interest in products over the past few days. It has really helped given me the motivation needed to aggressively pursue my goal of becoming a respected SR vendor.
---Update 12/5/12---
I have received a few messages asking about the potency difference between the brownie and cookie samples. Two cookies are roughly the equivalent of one brownie when it comes the amount of THC and cannabinoids in each item. This is why I say one brownie is about 2-3 servings. Because of this difference, you can choose between receiving one brownie or 2 cookies as your sample. Just leave your preference in a reply here on my topic page.
Recommended dosage (based on my own experiences and the experiences of friends/customers):
1 cookie or 1/2 brownie will get you plenty high for a long time. You probably won't feel anything for the first 20-120 minutes. But then the high will gradually build up to a peak, stay there for a few hours, then gradually come down. In total the high typically lasts anywhere from 3-9 hours depending on your tolerance.
The best advice I can give is to start with my recommended dose, then either eat more or less the next time to achieve your desired result. Remember everyone is different, so I can't tell you exactly what to do to get the best high. It takes experimentation which is half the fun in my opinion. ;)
--- Update 12/4/12---
I will begin shipping samples next week and still need more forum members to send samples to. I currently have brownies and cookies ready to ship. If you regularly post on the forums, have decent purchasing stats on SR, and are willing to post a review, please leave a reply on this thread. Include whether you would like a brownie or a cookie in your post. I will send out a message with the sample listing to all chosen members once it is up.
---Original Post---
I've recently set up a vendor account to begin selling edibles (primarily brownies and cookies) here on the road. I was just wondering what the demand is like for pot brownies on the site. I checked the listings for edibles and judging by the product descriptions, it seems like there are very few successful vendors who sell edibles.
The edibles I make are very potent. I don't use shake or trim when I prepare my butter or oil. I only use buds, and I am very generous with the quantity that I use. I cook the buds in butter or oil for 8+ hours on very low heat. I also use a candy thermometer to make sure the mixture never reaches a temperature that could vaporize any THC. I typically use anywhere from a half-ounce to an ounce of bud per pan of brownies, depending on the quality of the weed I am using. I strain all of the remaining plant material from the oil through cheesecloth after the conversion is completed. Each pan makes 9 brownies, so 1.5g-3g of pot goes into each brownie.
When my friends and I eat the brownies that I make, we typically break them into 2 or 3 servings. We do this because if you eat an entire brownie at once, you are likely to get too high and end up falling asleep for hours and hours.
Anyways, I think I've described my product enough, so if anyone has any experience with buying/selling edibles on SR then let me know if you think I have a chance of being a successful vendor. I plan on having an opening sale where I price the brownies for $10 each + shipping for the first 10 or so pans that I sell. I will then bump the price up to where I can make a decent profit. I addition to this sale, I will be sending out free samples to respectable forum members to review. If you are interested in a sample, please leave a post.

sounds good buddy, thats some heavily dosed cookies lol ;D
i look forward to hearing some reviews before i place an order, good luck the road... ;D
regards...
-
Haha, they will knock you on your ass if you're not careful. I'll probably send out a few samples in the near future to get some feedback. Let me know if you're interested :)
-
haha hell yeah i would be interested in a sample, thanks for the offer buddy i review everything i buy on SR samples alike and weed is kinda my speciality... ::)
-
I'd love a sample when you set everything up on SR.
-
buybuy555 and Moon Fried, I've added you both to my buddy list and will let you know when I have everything ready. It will probably be 1-2 more weeks, but I don't think either of you will be disappointed.

Just looked through the "edibles" SR page, seems like the vendor maggots pulls in 50+ orders a month on his cookie listing, with other vendors averaging around 5-10 orders per month (there's a steep drop-off in sales after the first page though). The key to success seems to be getting your product up at the top of the "edibles" section, something that would likely require a lot of work and patience on your part.
To demonstrate this unequal order distribution, I'll use the MDMA vendor Eazyjet as an example. I bought from him when he was just starting out, and for the first few months, he was only averaging 5-6 sales a month. Yet slowly but surely, his name started rising the ranks on the MDMA page and by the time he stopped seriously selling, he was shipping 100+ orders a month.
There's a few things that you could try manipulating in order to hasten this process. Try and get a lot of buzz around a particular listing, perhaps by slashing the price in the beginning and then raising it after you establish a customer base (don't know if this is possible, I'm not a vendor). Also, be active in the forums and update us on new listings and offers. Best of luck!

That pretty much outlines my general game plan. I want to give out a few samples to get some starter feedback on my account and on the forums. Then have a big introductory sale where I cut prices to a bare minimum. Hopefully that will be enough to get me to the first page in the "edibles" section.
Thanks for your insight!

Awesome, just PM me or post here when you're ready to send out samples. Good luck setting everything up.
-
hey are you shipping from the US? could i possibly get a sample too review to when you have them?
-
Mark me down as an interested party.
Weak edibles are quite the disappointment.
-
I've just started researching edibles so I would be very interested in samples and would provide detailed feedback for you ... thanks & welcome! :-*
-
Can't wait to read about your brownies. I love edibles
-
I just wanted to give everyone an update on where I am with getting everything ready. I have a few batches of brownies stored in the freezer ready to go. The only thing that I really need to do is decide on a packaging and shipping method. Once I have that figured out, I will message the people I think are the best candidates to receive samples with a link to the sample listing.
I'm really excited to get up and running, and I look forward to doing business with all of you! :D
-
Also are there any other kinds of edibles you guys are interested in trying? I've made pretty every edible imaginable, and would just like to get an idea of what you think the SR market is currently lacking?
My favorite edibles to make aside from brownies are snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies.

Thanks,
EMP

Hey SpiceTrader,
I am not selecting all of the sample recipients tonight, but I will let you know in a PM within the next week if you will be receiving one. Don't worry about your post count, it's far from the only thing I take into consideration when selecting sample recipients. ;D
-
Hi, I asked for a sample and you said I'd get one. Just reminding you. ;)

Don't worry, Pax. I've got you. 8)

Edibles are non-existent in my part of the country, I've seriously never seen one for sale within 150 miles of my house. I would gladly write a review here on the forums in exchange for a sample.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
-
I just joined SR and don't really have the credentials to ask for any, but I gotta say, it's pretty sweet you would just give away samples like that. That's good karma.
-
I've had anjolie's marijuana laced suckers and I've had some of IgotYafix's cookies so I can do a comparison. It would be hard to beat Igotyafix's cookies which has I think 275 mg of cannabis butter. I'll be watching this thread to see what people say about your cookies
-
I would be interested in a sample to review. I dont purchase on the forums all too often, however i am a regular sr user with good stats.
u/n is : iforgotmynuts
-
Mmm, edibles... If anyone can't do, I'd love to sample and review!
-

I have been smoking cannabis for many years, but for some reason have never gotten around to eating it. your sample seems the perfect way to try! I will be sure to write a very detailed review of the experience.
-
I'd love a brownie :) I'll review it well!
-
I hope i can get some in..
i can review nicely.. im into edibles
-
Let me know. I would love to try them.
-

It's kind of tradition for vendors to send out free samples when they first start out.
You'll see it happen a lot. 8)
-
If you still are giving any out I would love a free sample. Cookie or brownie, doesn't matter to me. Sounds delicious! :D

No it's not and fuck you for even suggesting that. It is something that happens, some vendors choose to do it, and by a much larger degree, all the unreporting fucks who love free drugs will hunt, hound, and beg for new vendors to give out free samples. In another vendor's thread two, out of I believe 10, samples have been spoken for despite more than enough time having gone by for everyone to receive their samples.
So no, it isn't a tradition and fuck you for saying that it is. And whenever I'm trying to help a new vendor get started, I tell them as much. I tell them that free samples aren't required, I tell them that it isn't even the best way to get started(just the fastest). And I strongly recommend discounted variety-packs to them, instead. At least that way, they get paid. Because when only 1 in 5 people actually reviews, I think that's bullshit and I'm trying to stamp out that bullshit and to keep those drugs out of the hands of those ungrateful fucks.

hey bro dont know if the samples are over buy id love one and i have been a member and buyer a while..I also agree with the above thread as well..Samples are not a must thing but it brings attention to you and your name product faster imo..So iPM u if i have a chance let me know...

Ditto - I've got a pretty decent review history started here on the forums (including one where I've received a sample and then returned to write about it) and buyer starts are over two dozen purchases, over $1500 in purchases with 0% AF/Refund rate.

I like the variety packs suggestion, it's something as a customer I would be interested in.
I agree man, I had a feeling saying "tradition" was gunna cause a ruckus. Was thinking of a better word, but said fuck it.
Never required, happens fairly often tho.
Sorry I upset you so much. Btw, I'll be sending you the template PM in your reviewer thread soon. Give me a few days tho, I have some samples on the way and I wanna spice up my reviewing skills (attention/care).

I'd love to review a sample man :)
-
I'd totally be down for some edibles. Let me know if you still need a guinea pig =]
-
Not asking for a sample, but I've never had an edible before and would be very interested in buying when you start up. Do you think shipping to Australia would be an issue? Also slayer what you're doing.
-
Please check my original post for an update on the samples and my opening sale.

SCONES! The kind with frosting would be awesome! Or pumpkin cheesecake bars!
Or muffins, cupcakes, lemon bars, whoopie pies, fudge, mini pies....
I love to bake, I have TONS of ideas and delicious recipes if you need them.
-
In light of some newly un covered information by me, ralph123, I have decided to change my policies.
So from now on any vendor who is good enough to let me review their product with a free sample
will be the next vendor I order from guaranteed.
Those chocolate chip cookies sound great as do the brownies. I'd be down to review those brownies
and if it goes well I'll buy some with my next coins but it may be after Christmas
