This is why I prefer the oil method because you use ALL the MJ. You just dry it, grind it to a powder in a coffee grinder. I use about 8 grams per recipe. I pour the 1/3 cup of canola oil in a small pan, add the MJ and let it simmer on low for about 15 minutes and then add to the recipe. It only takes a couple extra minutes than just making straight brownies. Always has the desired effects.
