Basically, you wanna use however much it takes to get the desired potency... I generally go for a gram a brownie, which is a pretty good dose, not a ton, but not light either.

Some other tips, since I've cooked a few times now:

- Cut up the buds as fine as you can, either using a grinder or a kitchen knife. The more surface area means more THC dissolves into the butter/alcohol/oil.

- If the recipe calls for vegetable oil instead of butter, you can still use it. Just heat the oil in the saucepan (Make sure it's 14g/spoonful of fat) until it's starting to look like it's going to boil (small bubbles forming), then add the finely chopped cannabis. It'll hiss and the bud will turn brown, and the oil should green-tinted. Stir it around for 45 seconds or so to let it all soak in, then strain it.

- It will smell, so make sure you accomodate that.

Good luck! :thumbsup:
