I'm curious, what is your formula or rule of thumb for getting the right ratio of cannabis to butter? Preferably in grams of herb to pounds (or sticks) of butter... Anyone?

Thanks for your replies!

ten grams of ghee to one gram of dried cannabis flower tops

I like 7-10 grams of flower to one stick (half a cup) of butter.

I use a double boiler, and constantly stir the mixture (pressing the flowers into the butter pretty hard with a spoon) for 45 minutes. Then I strain out the solids (which I lump on to wax paper and stick in the freezer for my canine friends to nibble on - they love a little bite here or there, but don't give them too much - it'll make em puke). After straining I'm left with what looks like green butter, and I use it in many recipes that call for oil. My favorite so far has been Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookies . . . the flavors were very compatible!

When I use top shelf, home grown buds, I just grind it up and throw it in a batch of cookie batter. I like to have about .25 grams of buds per cookie. That means that I put 7grams in the batter and make 28 cookies. I mix my batter very thoroughly and I weigh my batter and weigh every cookie as I form the batter into cookies. That keeps the dose uniform.

Start with half a cookie and wait at least three hours before you decide that it wasn't potent enough and eat another half. It can take more than an hour before you feel any effect at all and three or four hours to feel the peak effect. Sometimes you'll feel it sooner, but you can't count on it. The high can easily last six hours. If you eat too much, you'll still be high 12 hours later. I've heard lots of stories of people who bake cookies on Sunday afternoon and are still high for work on Monday.

When I have lower potency material like fan leaves and schwag, I boil them in butter and water first. That washes out most of the nasty taste and it allows me to strain out the excess plant fiber. The Cannabutter from males, fan leaves, and schwag can be just as potent and tasty as the Cannabutter made from the best buds, but it will be more work.

so the way to make butter is to cook the ground pot in clarified buter and then strain the weed out and just use the butter? just asking because i'm thinking of making some brownies or cookies with bud shake that is building up. last time i used regular shake and didn't remove the weed from the butter. i didn't like eating the weed too much and it messed up my stomach.

^^bumped for more info... thanks all!

The last time I made butter I used this for a guide and added a lil bit more weed for a extra kick. I hope it's ok to post this link here if not sorry. Be warned this stuff will kick your ass. People lost 10-12 hours on this stuff went I took it to the country fair this year.

When I make Cannabutter, I strain out the leaves with cheesecloth. Then, I let the liquid cool so that the butter rises to the top and hardens so I can skim it off. Most of the nasty taste ends up in the water, but the THC end up in the butter.
