Buttering the Brownies

[Greenoctopus]

A friend of mine has me questioning exactly how much marijuana has to be cooked into brownies and eaten in order to heighten the effect of being high to being "messed up". And when I thought about it, I wasn't sure either. It's not often that I cook food with cannabis, so I'm not too knowledgeable on the topic.

What would somebody more experienced say? Also, what should the oilr:bud ratio be for that amount? A problem I noticed is that the recipe only calls for 1/3 cup of oil D: Can anybody tell me the limit to the THC that can be absorbed into that much oil? Thanks :D

Well i dont really know where the line is going from "being high" to being "messed up" is. To make good brownies you need to make cannabutter the proper way and preferably strain out the weed (trust me you will be glad you did). Using a half ounce for 1 batch of brownies is a good place to start for good brownies that are sure you where you wanna be. With brownies i feel making sure you do the process right is a whole lot more important than how much ganja you use to ensure the potency.

cook it in and never go past 315 degrees f.

Here's the simplest and most effective method of making brownies:

I always try to use dank with this recipe, but if you aren't using high-quality potent bud. Increase the amount to 6-7 grams instead of 4.5 grams.

1.) Grind up 4.5 grams of high quality bud

2.) Pour a half cup of veggie oil into a pan.

3.) Heat on medium to low for 2 minutes.

4.) Dump finely ground up bud into the oil.

5.) Constantly stir the oil and bud mixture for 25-30 minutes.

6.) Once the bud turns brown and the oil turns dark brown/black the oil is done.

7.) Strain the oil and bud mixture to make sure there are not bits of bud in the oil.

Then you just follow the recipe on the back of the box, throw into the oven and here is what you get...

Just as effective as Cannibutter, but much easier, and very straight forward. Expect to look something like this:

i use a half ounce and cut the pan into 4 sections. each section is 3.5g's worth of weed and each section can be cut into another 4 pieces giving about .875 grams of weed per piece.

if i have hash i will use 4 grams of hash per pan

This is the correct and easiest method of making brownies. It's the only way I do them and I only use an eighth.

I also only simmer the bud in the oil for 5-10 min. on high and they are ready to go. People who use half ounces, ounces, or more, are simply wasting weed.

if weak brownies are what you are looking for, by all means use an 8th. for those that cant smoke, making stronger edibles is common sense, not a waste of weed. besides, you cut down on those carbs from eating the entire pan to get the same effect

Chompy, I have had friends who are habitual smokers try 1 slice of my brownie batch and get absolutely stoned. So please don't knock it unless you try the method.

^People are stuck on the notion that you need at least a half ounce to an ounce to make a decent batch of brownies, by using this method it proves that factoid to be untrue.

People who use half ounces, or ounces are using much lower quality bud than you, so it's necessary to achieve the same effect. In my area a half o of commercial is about the same price as an eighth of dank, so there you go.

^I've made brownies using regs and even shwag before. With regs-mids you can make a strong batch of brownies with 6-8 grams and with shwag anywhere from 9-14 grams should be more than enough.

The quality is not really that much of an issue when making brownies, the only thing is when using a recipe like this. The stronger the bud, the less you have to use. Plus it's nice to always mix different strains of buds when making the brownies. Say a gram or two of some dank, 3-4 grams of mids or regs, and throw in another 4-6 grams of shwag. Make a batch of brownies following the above recipe, using mixed strains will yield you a very potent, but well-rounded and trippy brownie.
