alright guys i just made my first cannabutter last night i used 250 g of butter and 10 g of bud i need 100 grams for my 12 cake mix so this would give me roughly 0.3 gram per cake. i intend giving the cakes to my dad to try and help him sleep but dont want him high as a mofo ,so is this a ok dose or should i put half normal butter in so only 0.15 per cake. i was hoping to give him a cake to take each night about an hour before bed . so if any experienced eaters have any advice it would be a great help and stop me getting my old man wired to the moon slso what colour should the butter be mines is only slightly darker than it started thanks again

[bill cooper]

anybody! i just need a rough idea of the dose from some experieced canna eaters. my dad is a pensioner and cant sleep no matter how many sleeping pill he takes .i never wanted to give him canna but it must be better than taking all those pills . so i made butter rather than him having to smoke . my problem is knowing how much to use i think the above is about right but just need some reassurance from some more experienced eaters cause im paranoid il end up getting him wasted cheers

It could easily be too much for him and cause a whitey.

I'd play safe and either use less cannabutter or make a lot more smaller cakes from the ingredients. He can always eat more to get the necessary effect, bloody difficult to eat less when it's already digested and in the blood stream.

so i made my cakes before i seen your reply snoffle i hope iv not fucked up i reakon each cookie in my dads batch are 0.3 gram and i told him to take half a cake a hour before bed.i made each cake in my batch 0.5 gram a cookie and im just about to sample my first

[Snoffle]

Let us know how it went. If you can

[bill cooper]

so my cakes never went to well . never got much of a dunt of them so this attempt which are only for me i was thinking i would just grind 6 gram of bud straight into the cake mix instead of simmering for 3 hours. will this work ok ?

Not really. You really need to make the cannabutter first to get the most out of it, the herb needs to properly dissolve in the fat to make your stomach able to absorb it, cos THC isn't water soluble, so if you just put it straight into the mix some of it may be wasted cos it may not fully dissolve in the fat in the time it takes for the cakes to cook.

cheers digger il just grind it into my cake mix nice one . how did your two different doses workout mate ?

As Boojum states you need it to be broken down by fat, chocolate in my example.

You'd be better of making rice crispy cakes or whatever using cannachoc.

To be fair i didn't feel much, neither did the mrs. And i had a few at a time. 1 big 3 little in 1 day once or 1 and 2.


It was a little disappointing, but the quality of the weed used was questionable and factoring in my consumption at the time, i'm not surprised they didn't hit the spot.

[bill cooper]

i done the same digger i had 3 cakes with roughly half a gram in each and never really felt it but its hard to tell when your smoking all day . i will have another attempt at butter tonight with a bit more bud and this time its getting left on the ring and checked now and again instead of stiring it every 10 seconds for three hours like i did the last time cheers

[bill cooper]

alright guys so i made my butter last night 250g of unsalted butter 24 g of mixed bud simmered for 3 hours . when i weighed it i only had 170 g of butter do you think it will have lost some potency ?i put 70g of cannabutter in my first cake mix and 30 normal butter to make 12 cakes and will have enough for a another batch of 12 .so if i had not lost any butter i would of had a gram per cake. so i lost nearly a third of my butter does this mean iv lost a third of the strength or will it be concentrated cheers

if any regular makers of cannabutter are reading this do you normally make extra butter to allow for lost butter and if so how much do you normally lose . iv used 250g twice now and lost 70 grams each time just wondering if this is normal or am i doing something wrong cause its making it difficult to judge dose cheers

Hi guy, I have made cannabutter many times this past year. I start with 115g, for the recipe I love, and have never re-weighed. As far as this being, a major ingredient I cannot tell anything is missing. If you do add more butter obviously, it will dilute the strength. A suggestion for ya, why not cut back on the ingredients to equal the amount of butter you have in weight that’s if you want a stronger HIGH.
