i have heard it is one stick of butter to one eight of an ounce of marijuana. I would cook a little at a time to make sure you don't mess a big batch up. I will check a cannabis recipe book i have. EDIT:

First of all you should try and find a recpie to make sacred ghee or rather a purer form to make cannabutter except better. My recipe book, "The Art & Science of Cooking With Cannabis" by Adam Gottlieb says for 1 pound of melted butter add several ounces. Several means 3-4 depending on the high in each slice, piece, cookie, etc.. Hope this helps.
Ok, the short answer is: there is no ratio... first you pick fat, u can use olive oil, veg oil, lard, or most popular being butter. i've used ratios from 1/4oz per pound of butter up to 5oz in 1 1/2 pound of butter. its all to do with the recipe after the butter, a cake, muffins ect, pick something that each portion has a comfortable amount of weed in. i use 2g per portion, but you can eat as many portions as ud like, and i stick to quickbreads such as muffins because prolonged exposure to heat breaks down cannibinoids. if you pm me a recipe i can give you a more clear cut answer.

I simmered 2.8 grams of ground up bud, and 3 grams of purple crystaly plant trimmings in two tablespoons of butter with water for 25 minutes, let it cool in my fridge, poured the water off and used the butter to make three regular size chocolate chip cookies.. me and a friend ate 1 and a half cookies each, and didnt feel a thing.. why is that?

Sorry to ask a question in a question but I have the same question I wanted to make a dozen decent hash cookies and from your guys's experience what is the best hash to butter ratio to give you a comfortable high?

I just made some cannabutter and a bunch of peanut butter cookies on Friday. I made the butter in my slow cooker. I had a little over an ounce of trimmings, (these trimmings were coated in trichomes), tossed in a few buds of the blue berry I'm smoking, a pound of butter and a ton of kief. I let it simmer for 4 hours.
I ended up with 32 pretty decent sized cookies. And these wonderful snacks ..... Mmmmm. One cookie will put you on the couch for most of the day and you can start feeling its effects in about 30 minutes after eating it. I ate 2 yesterday. I don't remember a freaking thing I did..lol. I think it would have been much more potent if I had only used 3/4 of a pound of butter instead. Oh well. They do the job!

most recipes call for 1lb of butter per oz of cannabis...u can play around with that adding or putting in less depending on how strong you want your butter
one of the things you will notice with the recipes is they all call for you to boil then simmer the mixture for HOURS some say 3 hrs some say 22-24 hours.This amount of time is important. it is required to extract the THC from the finely ground cannabis. DO NOT EXCEED 24 hrs, after 24 hrs the THC will degrade and the butter will go bitter

i use min 10g per stick. this batch i plan to cook tonight i will be doing 1oz in 1cup coconut oil (pulling out at least 3/4 cup for brownies). hoping for some impressive results as ive heard good things about coconut oil, and soy lecithin which i will be experimenting with as well. we get 9 brownies in the recipe we use, i have high hopes for these.
Hi was just putting this up for someone else to try n see if they get the same results. So I made cannabutter. My ratio is 3 250gs butter to 4 oz of trim.. I cook it in a slow cooker for 11 1/2hours. Trim thc is between 14 16%..striain do let it cool. As mistake was made by myself and it burns. Lol. Cool n separate. My cannabutter at the end weighed in 625gs.so good return for me anyway.. Then I make flapjacks. U will need oats. Syrup. Suger mustgovardo is best.. 200gs cannabutter.. Vanilla... Filling is up to u but I use chocolate chips... To make.. Just melt your cannabutter in a pan on low.. Add your syrup suger and stir until dissolved add your oats and mix well. Making sure all the oats are covered. Place all the ingredients in a bake tray and squeeze all the flapjack dwn so nice n flat. Then place in the oven on gas mark 2 3 depending on oven.. For about 30 35 mins. Or until edges are going brown.. Don't worry if still very soft they will harden up. Enjoy n plzzz let me know if theses happy flappys make u see bears shifting in the woods. Lol. Very strong n long lasting.. Enjoy oh n decarb first in the oven on 220 240 for 40 to 45 mins... Makes a big difference.

Can someone explain how to make the butter? Im going to have plenty of bud and high quality trim from my harvest and i plan on making butter. Can any of you guys explain step by step process thanks!
You forgot my favourite one... coconut oil! Very low melting point, tastes wonderful, extremely healthy, and extremely good solubility.
Just do a search with the site's search feature. Several people here (including me I think) have posted their procedures and recipes.
