I'm confused about the dosage used/needed for making brownies. I'm looking at this from an 'amount per person' point of view (assuming each person should only have to eat one brownie).

I've read over and over again the general "1 oz bud into 1 lb butter" rule. I wanted to use that idea to make cannabutter with a crock pot, and then use that to make brownies. The brownie recipe I have requires 1 cup of butter (2 sticks, a half pound), so I was thinking I'd use half oz of bud (14 g) into 2 sticks of butter. But then if that makes one standard batch (13" x 9" pan or whatever), and I cut it into 24 pieces (a standard number, I think), that means there is nearly 0.6 g of bud in each brownie. Well not literally in the brownie, but at least the equivalent 0f 0.6 g. That seems like a hell of a lot. It being my first time, I really don't feel like getting retardedly baked and passing out for a whole day (like some stories I've read). I'm looking for a good strong brownie high that will last for a few hours, but not put me in a coma or anything. Me and my friends are pretty light smokers to begin with.

So I guess my question is: what is the proper dosage? Would 0.6 g per brownie be correct? Or is my logic flawed somewhere in the math or something?

id say u are nearly right, iv nrver made them so i dont really know id put in a little less than u are saying as eating it is strong... go easy first and then ull see..

This is a really hard question to answer because of the variation in potency and tolerance. Ive made brownies and cookies and caramels a few times now and Ive found that even if you dont want to get super high dont lower the amount of pot you put in too much. I usally make mine from kief that i make with a silk screen because I think when you use bud it makes the butter to green and full of clorofil which makes it not taste as good. a 1/2 of bud sounds like a good amount to put into 2 sticks of butter. I put in that much for a bach of cookies i made at my ex girlfriends house and we all ate them. I ate like 8 because Id eaten them abunch before and i like being that stoned. so i had my girlfriend and her sister and her mom and dad eat only 1 first and wait untill they are high to eat more because they were all somewhat light smokers ( they smoked daily, but not alot). my exgirlfriends sister got really high and then so high she got nauseous and went and threw up and couldent get of the floor because she was soo tired. i had to pick her up and put her in her bed because she was gonna pass out on the bathroom floor. my exs parents both were stuck on the couch and were freaking out beacause they were so high they couldent help their daughters. it was all okay and i calmed them all down and told them to try and go to sleep and i wont let anything happen to any one and that were all just really stoned. Im just telling you this story because u said you dont want to get really really high like that. my suggestion is to make them with the 1/2 ounce then eat only half a piece and wait an hour or so and see if you need more. one more thing, try making caramels if you dont want to eat alot of somthing. i made them recently and they came out better than any cookies or brownies ive made and they are really easy to cook and you dont have to eat very much to get way fucked up.

I appreciate your quick replies, guys. I think I might stick with your idea of eating a half of one first and waiting to see how strong it is. I'll probably also do that before giving any to anyone else.

Anyone else have thoughts on this? I've read everything from 0.2 g to 1 g as being the 'proper dosage' per person when cooking.

A half ounce of bud in abrownie mix is quite a lot. My latest batch I put a half ounce of shake and 2" X 2" brownies will knock me on my butt.

Wow alright. Good to know. A half ounce of bud sounds like way overkill then.

What about a quarter ounce, and split into 30 pieces? That would equate to 0.23 g per brownie. That still too much, ya think? A quarter sounds a lot more reasonable price-wise anyway. This will be with great bud, though not amazing dank or anything.
