Question about Brownies

[oop007]

If I don't want to make butter, is it possible I could just throw an oz of bud into a brownie mix and it will still come out good?

I don't want to waste my bud tho, I'm willing to make the butter if it's really that much better, but is it that big a difference?

I'd make oil instead of butter. In fact, I *do* make oil instead of butter. Making oil is very easy, just need a crockpot with a low setting. Use a quarter ounce of bud per 5 ounces of oil. After straining out the plant matter you get about 4 ounces, enough for one pan of brownies. If you use an ounce of bud, use like 18 ounces of oil (canola or olive).

The actual making of the oil is very easy. Chop buds up into small bits, toss in crockpot. Add oil. Cook on warm (not low, that's too hot!) for about 7 hours, stirring it up vigorously about once every hour or two, to knock all the trichomes off the buds and into the oil.

You *can* just toss buds into brownies, but that's gnarly, chowing down and chewing on buds. It's waaaaay better if you just use oil or butter, no plant matter to chew on. But then again, if you don't do this often, maybe it doesn't make much difference. I eat two brownies a day, so I want them to taste decent.

If you get into it, and have the buds, scale it up, use 2.5-3 ounces and make an entire 48 ounce bottle of oil. You get enough for about 11 pans of brownies that way, and only have to make the oil once every few months, depending on how many brownies you eat daily.

Yeah I've read your entire recipe already, plan to try it out when I have a bit more $. But this was more of a 1 answer question. All I really want to know is if you put ground weed into a brownies mix, stir it well and cook it all together, will it still get u mad fucked, or is there no camparison to butter/oil.

I dunno, but I'd expect it'd still get you plenty buzzed. I've only tried brownies that way once, and they were horrible. They didn't get me very buzzed, but that could've been because we didn't use enough, and it wasn't great stuff to begin with.

alright. thanks a lot. I'll probably end up making the oil, but the thing is, I only move into a house in February. So for now I'm in an apartment and the landlords already know I smoke a lot of weed, would it be too bait to make the oil at my place cause of smell? The firecrackers were perfect for stealth reasons :P
