An ounce is gonna be like 5600 mg or 1400 mg per stick
1/2 ounce 2800mg/lb 700 per stick
1/4 ounce 1400mg/lb 350 per stick
1/8 ounce 700mg/lb 175 per stick
1 gram 200mg/lb 50 per stick
Thanks, I appreciate and understand what you’re explaining. I think this only works if I can severely dilute what I currently have or will grow. Getting a strain specific just for butter, it’s not feasible. No seeds other than Romulan are allowed to come, so I have limitations to work around. Maybe I’ll just do 1.5 g’s for a stick and see what happens.
Perfect! Probably 1 gram a stick won’t be a problem. It’s seems like such insignificant amount, but probably don’t realize how oil soluble a single gram actually is to get 50 mg dose.
Good deal, and to be clear, each of those numbers is if you use that amount to make a pound of butter!
So 1 gram in a pound of butter, would make each stick be 50 mg. Cool?
You might go a little more than those numbers to account for unextracted or lost THC in the process
So reduce it even further for a 1/2 lb of butter. I think it’s best to make a small batch for before larger to know it’s going be to just enough of a dose, then commit to a larger supply knowing the grams used per stick.
Sounds like a plan; those smaller numbers get hard to weigh out accurately, and to predict.
I’d probably try .75 gram in a half pound of butter.
12 brownies with that would be about 6 mg each or 24 would be 3 each. That’s with a perfect extraction, which you probably won’t get, so it’ll be more like 4 mg each in 12 brownies, and 1-2 mg per brownie with 24.
Ah! Definitely a good way to balance out THC though and to fine tune the ratio to the butter. I think I’ll be doing that IF the minimal dose trial is successful.
Definitely agree, CBD tends to calm the effects of edibles… when i worked at the dispensary, we had free cbd gummies and vapes we gave to people if they said they were trying there first edible. If they trip out, the CBD could settle them back down.
I have this fancy edibles book. I think it has a lot of great information in it that has held up to my own use. It aims for low dose edibles. Here is the good stuff and I’ll include the contents page so if anyone has a specific recipe they want just ask and I’ll take a picture.
The way I dose my edibles is by using tincture. The basic idea is you make a tincture and use it to find your proper dose. Once you know your dose, say 1/2 ml, you know how much tincture to use for the number of servings. So if your brownie re ipe is to make 16 brownies, you would add 8 ml of tincture.
Just make butter, sample it, if to strong, simply melt it down, add plain butter to weaken it.
That way you do not need to juggle the different potencies of different weed types, IMHO.
What I found, over the years, no single recipe will cover everyone.
Make it, and dial it down, as it so freaking easy to do.
