Hello,
I thought I would share an edible recipe that I have used for quite a while. It is really consistent and you will barely taste any weed. The key to this is mixing thoroughly in the recipe stage and reducing green material in the oil. For this I use infused olive oil, however infused oil or butter of any kind will work. When I make my infused oil I break the buds up and remove as much stem as possible. Then I put the weed in a pyrex bread pan and cover it with tin foil, then I put it in the oven for 45 min at 220F. Then I remove the weed from the oven and add however much oil I need to the cannabis (usually 1/2 cup to 1 cup depending on how many I want to make see below for more). I cover the the container again and put it back in the oven for another 45 min at 220F. This will make fairly sedative edibles. I find them to be less of a sedative if you decarb the weed in the oil from the very beginning vs. the way I described above. In that case you would break the buds up, put them in the pyrex, add the oil, then cover and cook in the oven at 220F for 1 hour. When the oil is done cooking from using either method above, let it cool and then strain it through a wire mesh strainer into a mixing bowl. Cheese cloth can also be used in place of a strainer. In either scenario press or squeeze the oil out of the weed until you start to get quite a bit of green material coming into the filtered oil. A little bit of green is ok, but don't squeeze it to the point that a lot gets through. It will make the edibles taste like weed if you do. Now you have your infused cannabis oil. For strains, I tend to use lemony or fruity strains as they taste better. I have never found a difference between using indicas or sativas as far as the effects, some people I give them to claim they can, I don't.
Now a note on quantity. A half of a cup of oil will make 24 mini cupcake sized cookies. It is up to you to determine the strength that you want. I generally make 60 mg cookies, but they can be made stronger or weaker. The following is the math needed to calculate this for yourself. If you want to find out how much weed you need, you need to figure out how many mg of thc (or cbd) that you want. For this example lets assume that you want a 40mg cookie. To find the mg in a gram of weed you need to know its thc%. I work with outdoor weed that I don't test, but based on comparing it to dispensary weed I consider it to be 16% thc. To convert the thc% to mg you need to multiply by 10. So in my case I consider a gram of weed to have 160 mg (16% x 10 mg/%). The recipe below makes 24 cookies and we want them to be 40 mg, this means that we need: 24 x 40mg = 960mg. Therefore we need a total of 960 mg of thc and we know that we have 160 mg/g of weed in this example, so we need: 960 mg / 160mg/g = 6g of weed.
Math Formulas: Total mg needed = 24 cookies x desired mg per cookie (40mg above)
Mg per gram = thc% x 10
Grams needed = "Total mg needed" / "Mg per gram"
Note if you are a true beginner, start with 10mg cookies and work your way up. Give them two hours to kick in, the effects generally last 4 hours. Do not, for the love of god, consume another edible within two hours of your first one, this is almost always a mistake. For those with higher tolerance this isn't really an issue but please tread lightly if you are just starting out with edibles.
The Recipe:
Ingredients:
#1 - ½ cup infused oil
#1 - ½ cup brown sugar
#1 – 1 egg
#1 - ½ tsp vanilla extract
#2 - ½ cup all purpose flour
#2 - ¼ tsp baking soda
#2 - ¾ tsp cinnamon
#3 - 2 cups oats
Instructions:

#2 - ½ cup all purpose flour
#2 - ¼ tsp baking soda
#2 - ¾ tsp cinnamon
#3 - 2 cups oats
Instructions:
- Mix the infused oil and brown sugar in a large cooking bowl until they are perfectly smooth and blended together. This will take a minute or two of mixing but it is important so that the doses in each edible are consistent. No oil separation should be present when finished mixing.
- Mix the remaining #1 ingredients into the bowl with the oil and sugar. Again mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl mix all #2 ingredients together. Then add them to the bowl containing all the #1 ingredients. Again, mix until this is perfectly blended and uniform.
- Add the #3 ingredient which is the 2 cups of oats to the bowl containing the #1 and #2 ingredients. Blend extremely well as this will determine how consistent the edible doses are.
- Spoon these out into a mini cupcake tray that has 24 spots and cook in a pre-heated oven at 350F for 13 – 15 min.
- Allow to cool then store in the freezer or fridge. I use the freezer and it doesn't seem to effect potency, although they don't last very long for me either.
Great thread
