Half O of purp = ? Of cookies

Don't use hashmouf's. Badkittysmiles has the perfect thread for you in the stickies at the top of the forum list. Read it. Do it right and you can get 40 STRONG edibles out of that half o.

 

i use coconut oil instead of butter. i would try to dose them at .25 gram per cookie. so thats what...48 cookies give or take? i would rather eat 2 or 3 cookies and get where i want then eat one cookie that just pounds me. i have made them strong like that too. but it seems everyone gave me overwhelming feedback that the cookies were way to strong at .5 gram per cookie. it seemed they liked them more at .25 or even a little lower. depends on the size and thickness of said cookie. 
 
1) decarb your bud.
220* for 20 to 40 mins. depends on your oven, how dry the bud is and how much bud you are using. grind your bud up pretty good. course ground coffee is about right. put it in a foil pouch and seal it tight. then put it in the oven. let the bud cool to room temp before opening the pouch.
 
2) make the cannabutter / canna oil.
slightest possible simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. a number 2 on my stove does just that. add the Lecithin with your ground up, decarbed bud. i use the stove top myself. to dose 24 cookies with .25 of bud, you need to use about 7 grams of bud to every 1/2 cup of oil or butter. you lose a little of the THC and what not in the cooking and processing of the oil / butter. now is the time to add Lecithin. Lecithin is the stuff that helps you get every bit off potency out of your oil / butter. i use it and recommend that everyone do so. i personally have noticed the difference. let it cool to room temp before attempting to strain or add into your recipe.
 
3) strain it or not.
i noticed that if i ground the bud up just right, it basically just dissolves into the oil / butter. no straining needed. every once in a while some one would say something about a bit of lumber in the cookies / brownies. i just told them to chalk it up to their daily fiber intake. if you do strain it, then i recommend you up the oil / butter to 2/3 cup as you lose a bit off of the top through straining and retention of the oil in the fibrous material you filtered out.
 
4) store it!
go to the dollar store and find a cheap butter dish to use as a mold. thats what i do for butter. coconut oil i store in the fridge in 1/2 cup doses. it keeps in the fridge with most or all of its potency for up to 30 days. it does lose its potency over the next 2 or 3 weeks. it will store in the freezer for a good 6 months or longer. i always use mine before it would ever go bad.
 
why use coconut oil over butter? i don't always, but most of the time i do use coconut oil. it is soooo much better for you. works fucking awesome in brownies and cookies. hell, i use coconut oil in everything i cook or bake that calls for butter. it is so good for you too. it is my understanding that the coconut oil retains THC better then butter. in the end though, it comes down to personal preference really. other oils work well to so i have heard but never tried them.
 
as far as dosing your edibles. you want to keep it under control. trust me when i say eating to much bud is absolutely horrible. abysmal even. its one of those things that when you do it once, you get why. so i try to stick to side of caution and go with smaller edibles with lower doses. little 2 inch brownie bites dosed at .12 were the best so far. you could eat 2 to 4 and be fucking smashed in an hour or so. or you could stick with 1 or 2 and just get mellow. the easiest way to figure it out is to make them and then try one. from there you can best judge how to dose it next time. 
 
consistency is your best friend. sure you want to tweak your recipe to get all of the bugs out of it. but once you get it dialed in. the same thing always produces the same results. so stick with what you know. 
 
good luck! 
 

 

A general guideline for edible experiments is, how much would you smoke in a "session"? Don't eat more than you could comfortably smoke!
 
If you are a rookie, lightweight, or "one hit wonder" then you might try 0.1g per cookie for a fun effect comparable to having a few drinks. 
 
If it takes you a couple of bowls to get high, then 0.25g or thereabouts might be a good dosage per cookie. This is about the strength I like them, personally, for my tolerance. Sometimes I eat 2 cookies for 0.5g in total.
 
If on the other hand you have a high tolerance and regularly smoke 1g blunts to your head, then you might be feeling brave and try 1g per cookie.
