Newbie cookie question

Hi all,

I am almost finished with my first grow
My wife and I are getting excited to have enough herb on hand to make edibles....I just found a wonderful cookie recipe that uses a full stick of cannabutter, following standard recipes it'll come from about a 7 grams of herb....the cookie recipe will make roughly 3 dozen cookies....I'll be the guinea pig which I'm totally looking forward to, still, with limited experience with edibles, I want to not "bite off more than I can chew" nor do I want to short change myself.

My question is this....If these cookies were offered to you, how many would you eat, seriously, for an evening of chillin' to some tunes or maybe a flic or two?

Thanks in advance! I also posted this in the Cooking with Cannabis Forum, didn't know which would see more traffic.

Bliecheez,
No way of knowing unless you've made previous identical batches. It's all about the quality of the ingredients. But start off easy...like 1/2 a cookie. Wait at least an hour on an empty stomach. That will give you some subsequent dosing guidelines.
Have fun,
JD

Yeah I agree with JohnDee, the quality of the ingredients is a factor as is the quantity. I'm not sure how much a stick of butter amounts to, but 7 grams of weed for three dozen cookies sounds like it might be on the weak side. Granted, it`s all about individual tolerance and like JD says above it`s wise to start slowly and find out what you can handle.

I just made some butter with 60 grams of Bubbleberry/15 grams Mango trim (but mainly bud) to a pound of butter. My previous cannabutter batch was 60 grams of Bubbleberry to a pound of butter and the result was some pretty potent stuff. From that I got 1 ¼ cups of cannabutter, or 2 ½ half-cup pucks for my Betty Crocker mixes. (Ok, so I’m not exactly a gourmet baker. And for whatever reason, the chocolate chip cookie mix is more effective than oatmeal). I get about 18 cookies to a package of Betty Crocker mix, so that`s about 45 cookies.

It’s wise to keep notes on what you've done previously, whether it's growing, baking, whatever. Here’s another thing that can add some umph to your cannabutter: if you and your wife vape, keep the remnants and toss that into the cannabutter concoction when you`re making it. I usually vape my material two or three times at different heat settings, then toss the remnants in a jar.

Congratulations to you and your wife on your first grow. You`re obviously stoked. You`ll be even more so when you savour the results, knowing you grew the stuff and that future efforts will be even better with experience.

id eat 2 (over 6 feet tall, over 250lbs) and follow it up with a third an hour later, unless its stronger than anything ive had before.

btw, thanks for the reminders, i got some butter gems downstairs that we made the other day, cookie break!!
