Cannabutter questions

[turksteelman]

Made butter last night. Used 6.6oz of fine ground leaves, popcorn bud and sweet trimmings. I used 6 sticks of butter, the 1/2 cup sticks. Do those ratios sound about right? Ended up with about 1.5 cups of cannabutter. How much would you put in a batch of brownies?

i believe the conversion is 1 oz. of weed for 1 lb. of butter.
and you only need to put in as much as the recipe calls for

That butter is deadly! 1 pound of butter is 4 sticks typically, so do the math, a bit of an over kill I think.

Put in whatever the recipe calls for as stated above. 8 year olds can make brownies, come on man.

Looks like this is an old post but hope this still helps. If by leaves you mean good trim leaves from the buds then about 2 oz per lb of butter (4 sticks) is a good amount. Just use the butter the recipe calls for. Then start with small portions to see the strength. It takes about an hour to feel the effects. If you eat too much it will make you sort of stoned and wired.

Okay, here it is 8 months later and I have yet to use the butter, except for 1 batch of brownies. I am an experienced smoker but I thought I was going to die! Not really but you know the feeling. It was new to me and eating edibles seems to be a whole different game. With the ratios I've mentioned above, you you feel that I should cut it with more butter? The brownies that I made were very nasty, perhaps too strong. Any suggestions?

By the way, this 6.6oz was God Bud!

LOL, been there, done that. Almost enough to make a person never eat weed again.

Ya, cut it at least 50% if not 75% from the sounds of things.

I try one 'pat' of butter on a piece of toast. Judge from that how strong your medicine is. You should be able to figure out from there what you need for brownies. ( you get X number of brownies per batch and need a pat of butter for each)

Not much worse than getting too high. UGH awful, the only bad trip I ever had was brownies that were too strong. Feel for ya.

I'm with you there! I personally will stay away from all edibles. That stuff was worse than some of the hallucigenics we used to take back in the 70's! My wife however benefits from edibles so I will make her brownies.

I showed my friend how to make edibles and now he prefers them to smoking. He makes incredibly strong stuff. I ate a layered jelly cookie that was like two layers of sugar cookie with jelly in between. I ate a piece about 1/2 inch by1 inch and it was totally knockout. He makes peanut brittle too and a 1/4 inch by 1/2 inch piece it killer. The problem is it tastes good and you want to eat more. The cookies I make are totally adequate but not as strong as my friend makes. You can eat a whole cookie at least.
