This Chocolope cob is the darkest one I’ve made yet. Very cool looking colour and the smell is incredibly funky, a bit like some super dank home-cured tobacco crossed with something from a mysterious jar in the far corner of a Chinese medicine shop.

Nice photos! 
Looks delicious! Myself, waiting on a Lamb's Breath cob just rolled up tonight, will seem painfully long! Good thing I still have a bit of my first homemade Cosmic Glue cob. So many strains to try as cobs! 
Also,Weaselcracker, thanks for doing the ph test and sharing that info!

Danggggg Cobsters!!!!!
Loooookin gooooood!

I've never had Chocolope cob but I love the flower. I find it one of the most euphoric strains I've had but it gives me uncontrollable munchies. How's the cob effect?
Highya WC,
How did you test the ph of a cob? Looks like water in the jar? If so, wouldn't that ruin the cob? I do like the ph of the Thai Stick, though. Wonder why they're so variable? Different strains for different folks, lol. Cheers

I mixed up a slurry with distilled water and a few grams of cob- mashed it around thoroughly and left it there for half a day stirring occasionally.
I suppose I could have saved the cob- called it advanced budwashing and dried it out again
But these days I find that I’m collecting more cob and bud than I can go through - so I just tossed it after.I’m not sure why the ph varies between the cobs like that. Maybe the drying process changes it. Mainly I was looking for a ballpark range and hoping it would turn out to be very acidic.
If the fear of botulism bothers people then I’m guessing that adding something like citric acid to the cobs at the start of the process to lower the ph would eliminate the issue. Where I live everyone hunts and fishes, preserves and cans all sorts of things, and is very comfortable getting their hands dirty and a lot of things that make the city folk squirm.
On the other hand when I look around I don’t see any other foods that I’m preserving that so nicely fit in the danger zone that @lazyfish mentioned. Anaerobic conditions, neutral ph, etc..
It seems like an issue definitely worth thinking about to learn more. Maybe someone will find out that there are factors in the process that eliminate botulism. Maybe it’s a real danger. Or maybe it’s just that acceptable billion to one chance like with everything else in life and a meteor might hit me on the forehead today.
Hey Neiko.
I haven’t tried the cob yet. That one is fresh and uncured. I’m drying a bit today and I’ll try at least smoking if not eating some. The Chocolope bud has been my go-to smoke for the last couple months.Uncontrollable munchies would be a total deal-breaker for me
But yeah I do notice a little of that indica type thing. Barely any munchies but I find it does rivet me to one spot in a big way. I spent a few weeks of Chocolope smoking and messing around recording music and I literally could not force myself to unglue my body from the seat.10 PM I should really make dinner.
12 PM Damn now it’s midnight I really should go out and take a look around the yard.
3AM. Shit... I wonder how the animals are doing out there they must be getting really hungry... how about one more guitar track.
Might be a good Ritalin substitute for those problem school kids.

What an intriguing idea. In time we’ll know.
I have a jar with the moldy buds. Couldn’t bring myself to toss them. Like you, I suspect the mold may be a euphoric benefit, remembering the glorious buzzes I’ve appreciated in the past with moldy bud.
When I get back from my trip to Phoenix I’ll try a chew.
I missed the chance to cob any of my Carnival.
She came in over 10 ounces too, which could have been a great gathering of cobbed material.

I plan to live to at least 100. I won’t be holding my breath waiting for that deadly report. Lol! Untold generations have consumed cobs with no deadly effects that we’ve learned of, and I’m healthy and strong.

Good grief Weaselcracker! That’s magnificent. I’ll have to come visit. Lol! Can you believe I’m getting as close as Seattle and won’t have the chance to find you yet? Maybe next year we can work out a trip into the Canadian NW.
Cannabinoids aren’t water soluble, so I suspect the slurry material could have been dried and consumed. Not that someone with a stock of cobs would need to save them.

Yesterday I decided to throw caution to the wind, realizing that we only live once and all that, and I ate my first .2 grams of cob. I am happy to report that I did not die. I am pleased that my eyes did not swell shut, my breathing did not become labored and my stomach did not react.
To the contrary, I had the most pleasant buzz going on for most of the day. It was not too intense, I had no feelings that I normally do when eating pot that my heart was beating funny, and I enjoyed the whole experience. I liked the .2g dosage and think that .4g might be too much. I also realized that even at .2g / day, this cob is going to last a long time.
By the way, it smokes pretty good too. I can't smoke nearly as much of it as I can of any of my traditionally cured pot. I am waiting for my second cob to finish out in a couple of weeks and am curious how they will differ.
Thank you for this thread and giving me the courage to try this. I suspect that I will keep some cob around from now on.

Oh Em.... 
Now you know, and knowing, you can gently help others to get past their own trepidation. This is by far the best buzz for long effect, IMO.
You’ve inspired me to continue my daily cob dosing. Have you tried grinding it before chewing? I find that makes the experience onset more quickly.

I didn't grind it, but I did cut it up really small and then I put it in an empty 00 capsule that I keep around for various things, and swallowed it. Onset was way more rapid than I expected.Oh Em....

By the way, I am an old hand at eating stuff like this. Those capsules... not only do I grind up dandelion roots and various other herbs for ingestion in this way, but when I clean out the stems of my pipes, bong, etc and get a glob of that black tarry resin, it goes into a capsule. I have been known to try one or two of these after filled up, but you just can't imagine the work that I can get out of my brother with these as a reward. Seriously, why should I have to mow my yard?

Hi Sue if you can get your hands on some of Aces Malawi x Ethiopian do so. Its crazy laughing grass on the way up, the first 3 hours are loony tunes nothing is beyond laughing at ha ha.
After you peak you start another 3 hours of tripping your head off its another world on this gear it takes you up up and then explodes in your mind.
The guys who smoked it reckon they had never experienced pot like it. To me its a true African high and the best laughing grass outside of Malawi.
I cant recommend it enough I constantly find myself looking for solid objects to hold onto ha ha.
Double panties needed on this one but if you cant stand pissing yourself laughing at everything with your mates for three hours best give it a wide berth.

Well Emilya inspired me. Time for this dude to be the batch tester. Since I am giving 1/2 my cob away. Cant expect folks to try what I haven't, or say "yeah you can eat it. but I haven't." lol
I went with .5 gram because I am 200 pounds and can handle my drugs. Plus my COB was dryer than normal and may not have the potency as some of your cobs.

That sounds fun! I have a Zamaldelica x Ethiopian cob that I really like but I don't ever seem to get to the tripping balls stage. I haven't heard of a cob you didn't like Tang
.How bout a strain or 2 you don't like cobbed??

lol well I am enjoying myself.Take notes along the way. You’ll forget it.
I had just finished eating it. I texted my buddy, "it's like I scraped some dried leaf material off the bottom of a lawnmower and ate it. "
No joke, the moment I sat down after eating it, I heard a knock on the door. A friend had popped over and needed some of my recent harvest. So we hung out for a bit and gave him 1/2 ounce taster package, including cob.
20 minutes had passed before he left. I needed dog food. Or, well my dog was going to, I would be fine.
Hmmm. Race for dog food before I start discovering what is in this thing. Got home and 10 minutes later it started to kick in.
