the problem with using only an 8th to cook, is that the process is not efficient enough to take advantage of all that extra THC. It is not worth paying $50 for a chronic 8th when you can pay $50 for an ounce or two of shake and/or trimmings, get almost as high on an equal dose, and have tons left for you, your family, and your friends.

Then again, if you make a pound cake and you dont mind eating the entire pound cake at once...it would probably work fine for one person. The problem is the butter will not be potent enough to make a small piece work, but you need a lot of butter to bake something.

I suggest smoking the good weed, and trying to get some shake or trimmings. If you know any growers, theyll usually part with it for free or close to free (unless they want to cook like you!).

Of course, if you find a recipe or chop the ingrediants in half, you could make a little butter that was pretty potent, and make a few cookies or something. Baking is just easier when your making a lot.

Hmm, well I've been looking around google and i saw a recipe for brownies and bud oil, 3.5-5g is used and suposedly it works fine, I do agree with you that trimmings would work better but I can't get ahold of em right now.
