I have looked around all over the place and seem to be getting a variety of answers, so I was wondering if someone could clear this up.

I am planning to make some cannabis brownies this weekend, the marijuana here is generally good mids (I don't know till I buy) and I plan to make a tray of brownies between me and another person (2 people). My question is how much weed will it take?

All the weed will go into the brownies and all the brownies will be consumed during that time, so I am not making any for another time, etc.

We have a tolerance to cannabis and are quite experienced users but do not smoke everyday, in fact I wont have smoked up for like 4 days when I make them. Also is cannabutter the best method of getting the most out of the edibles? I just heat it with the grinded up weed basically for a while and filter it through?

Thanks in advance.
- Sorry if this is the wrong section and I know this is most likely asked a lot, but I wanted a definite answer before I tried it myself.
 
When I made brownies, I got a box of brownie mix and the ingredients it called for.

About 1/3 cup of vegetable oil is called for (IIRC). I took all the weed I wanted to use in the brownies, broke or ground it up real nice, removing stems. Take a pan on the stove and under real low heat (you don't want the oil to boil) add the weed to the oil and stir it occasionally, letting it heat up. Give it 20 minutes to a half hour.

Then make the brownies just like called for with the weed/oil mix (I don't strain out the MJ because I don't want to lose any THC, some people will say you must strain out the MJ.)

If it's just the two of you, and you are going to eat all the brownies, I would make a half batch of brownies. Eating an entire batch - ugh... you'd get sick of the brownies. As for how much weed, I would say take the amount of weed it would take for the two of you to get nice and high smoking it, double that amount and put that in the brownies.

Don't smoke before you eat the brownies, or while waiting for them to come on. The way eaten THC comes on in waves (almost like MDMA) is delightful! Main reason I like to eat weed is the way it comes on slowly, in nice waves of pleasure.
 
Uhh... Brownies don't really work split between two people in one night...

That's a lot of brownies to be eaten.

Quick rundown:
*Oil method: Get over a half oz of mids.
Grind all mids.
Cook into oil for 25 minutes at LOW/MED, make sure to avoid ANY evaporation.
Strain weed-oil with a coffee filter or cheese cloth.
Cook brownies as directions call for.

Now enjoy 1 brownie. You can always save the remaining 10 for later. If each brownie contains ~2 grams, you'll be set for hours off of just one.

So why can't I just put like 5grams into the brownies and eat them in one sitting?

You can, that's just a shitload of brownies with a tiiiiiiiiny bit of THC.

Making a full batch with a proper amount will be more effective, but you can definitely make them the way you're talking. Keep in mind, though, that the THC will be spread all throughout the brownie "cake" and you would definitely have to eat all of it to really feel much. ...Well... with a 5 gram batch, at least.
 
Have you ever eaten an entire pan of brownies in one setting? (That's why I say just make half a pan of brownies - for the 2 of you.)
 
Will 5 grams worth in say 10 brownies (1 brownie=0.5g - ROUGHLY), so 5 each be enough?

5g/10 brownies equals .5g per brownie...

You must really love brownies. :D

It'll be enough if you eat all of your brownies, but you're also going to have a full stomach that's going to take a long time to sift through all the food in there to digest the THC.

It WILL work, SpecialK... just not that well.
 
Ah okay thank you, is there any other ways to do this that will allow my stomach to absorb it more easily but using the same amount of weed?
 
Yes, cut the brownie mix and ingredients in half (better yet, 1/4 of the original.) You'll need a brownie pan 1/4 the size, and you'll need to calculate 1/4 of 1/3 of a cup of oil (for example) but google is your friend. But it gets easier to screw up...
 
Are you planning on making cannabutter?

If so, ANYTHING you want to cook that calls for butter you can manage to cook some weed into.


Think small, like half a dozen cookies. With only 5 grams you don't want the food:THC ratio to be ridiculously disproportionate.


You might not want this now, but it's a decent little online cookbook you could bookmark for future reference:

dont waste weed on brownies... waste them on a cake its better and taste better with the frosting... id say about a half pound of weed should suffice
 
Eh... I'm sure life'll go on just fine with an unmerged cooking thread on the CD board.
 
The people I know generally put an ounce of mids in there. You won't have to eat as many to get baked, and the brownies will probably last a while.
