Hi Guys
First time I've joined a chat forum and really new to 'all this weed stuff'....better later than never, right? lol
Ok, first I live in Qld Austraila..but don't hold it against me. I have been given a small amount of weed, don't ask me what strain, if it's bud or leaf cos honestly I'm so new to this I couldn't tell you any of the above.

Q. How many grams of butter do I use for 7 grams of weed. Yes, it's only a small amount, on a budget, about 9-10grm cost me -snip- which is a lot for me so I don't want to stuff up the butter. I am familiar with the cooking methods just need to be 100% right with weights. TIA for help. If this forum is as good as it looks my growing questions will follow lol. Thanks

it's 1 stick of butter to a quarter ounce (7grams)

quarter ounce per stick. also, please do not discuss prices as it is against the rules.

Hey, welcome to BL Even if you know how to cook there's a chance of messing up edibles, it's something of a rite of passage so if you do manage to get it right the first time I'd be impressed! If you look in the CD directory (it's a sticky thread at the top of this forum) you will find a thread about Cooking with Cannabis that may contain lots of helpful ideas.

The TL;DR version of that is just remember the THC has to be thoroughly decarboxylated (to "activate" it), which is a function of heat and time. Butter is just a formality, THC will emulsify with any fats so you can use ghee (clarified butter) or any vegetable oil and achieve the same effect.
