like some other people have said i mean better bud means better butter. some people think if you just do a higher bud to butter ratio w/ low grade weed it'll make up for it being crappy and make the butter stronger. I mean no doubt itll take LESS hi grade than low grade to get you high from a recipe but that obviously goes for smoking or cooking. IMOas far as low-grad e vs high-grade tree its pretty similar to smoking whereas, at least in my case, i can smoke a blunt of some lower-grade and get high, but if i smoked 3 blunts of that same tree i dont get much higher than i wouldve from just the first one. Same with high grade weed, i just get a much better high when i smoke that, but if i smoke a couple grams or a quarter in one sesh, i get about the same highness for that period of time/. I've cooked with both, i like to use better quality stuff wether it be smoking or coking, bc it get you higher and its a nicerhigh. but if i had a bag of schwag id prob cook most o fit, unless i hadnt smoke din long time or something. Sorry for the rantr, im ripped. but now im in the mood for some treats and when i get off work im goin home to make me some "nuggets". Its my concotion, i just make brownie mix with my cannabuter(wich is excellent) but instead of making it in a brownie pan and cuttin squares i make them in these miniature cupcake pans that i have. they are for making small cupcakes like prob a inch and half or so in diameter. sp i put m,y brownie mix in those and when im done i hjave seperate little ganja brownies and they're all the same size so i know exactly what dose im eatin. sorry for the rant.
