AHHH! Finally i can post. How exciting :smile:.
Anyways, this has already been brought up but no one really responded to it:
Its been agreed that the THC is tarnished/vaporized/ruined at a certain temperature. but MY question is if this holds true in the baking/cooking process as well?? I've always made brownies (with oil, mindyou) and baked at a very low temperature, like 220ish... this takes a lot longer but i was unsure of the effects of higher temps so i played it safe.
Is it OK to bake with high temps after its been made into butter? or is it going to FSU?

well thc vaporizes at 375F and most recipes can be cooked at 350
I thought I would post my $0.02 about making edibles for the first time. For me, most of the unknowns in this recipe come down to the butter/cannabis ratios. No one wants a batch of duds, right? So to help fill in the unknowns from my experiment, let me give some background.
Last month I decided to make a break from smoking a gram-a-day and start vaporizing exclusively. I borrowed a friend's Volcano for the month and adjusted my dosage to 0.25 grams of ground herb per session, vaporized between a 6 and 7 (374 F and 396 F) on the dial. My bags were about the size of a rugby ball, maybe 30% less volume than the pre-loaded bag that ships with the volcano.
My routine is to vaporize three bags, stir the filling chamber, then vaporize two more bags. Each bag is a typical vapor-only load (minimal toxins), and each time I discard the vaped herb I notice slight traces of green amongst the golden brown remains. Post-measures have revealed weights around 0.18 grams of vaporized material. After one month I had right at 17 grams of vaporized buds to contribute to the recipe.
I followed the recipe exactly; however, I started with WAY too much water (enough to cook about 16 ounces of pasta) and so I had to get creative with the container to solidify the butter in. Next time I will use enough to keep the plant the recommended inch and a half or so from the bottom surface of the pan.
Otherwise, I chose a pre-mixed package of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that called for 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter. I found a recipe that baked at 300 F which was good since my oven went as high as 350 F during its heating cycle. To keep the dosage very reasonable I made exactly 16 cookies. I can confidently say that each cookie has at least 1 gram of the goods.
I ate a single cookie at about 9:30am on an empty stomach along with 16oz of cold water. By 10:15am I was feeling great. If you're familiar with vaporizing then you know that the high is different from smoking. In my limited experience the high from vaporizing is very body-centric while your head remains clear. Smoking the same amount delivers a similar body high, but there is also a cerebral element. My edibles are heavy on the cerebral element and very very light on the body high.
The high for 1 cookie lasted about two hours. The high from 2 cookies was no more intense, but lasted for four hours. I have always felt the effects in 45 minutes (empty stomach) to 90 minutes (light meal), but I would describe my metabolism as slightly sower than average.
Many thanks to those who have contributed to this thread. It has helped me a ton, and I hope my experience can help someone else. I get such a kick out of extracting every last bit of value from my stash, but I never thought I'd be happier to say I no longer smoke marijuana.

Love This Thread 
(should have one of guy eating cookies 
)
I have always been a big fan of an oral dose!!!
I have consumed it in many forms, but Cannabutter is the basis for all of it.
Here is a quick 1 i used with hash that i thought was less than desirable to smoke (it also works with nice gear )
Get a soup size metal spoon, about enough hash for 3 healthy spliffs, put enough butter in the spoon so when you add the hash it will be full. Get a knife to stir, Crumble the hash into the butter after it is melted over a lighter, candle, gas burner or whatever you have, melted but not boilen if it starts bubblen back off you keep stirring until it gets to be the same consistency everwhere, no chunks left.
This spoon is then ready to go straight into a yogurt of your choice
Depending on the quality of the hash you will most likely experience many levels of happiness
Yesterday i tried the receipe here but was forced to do things a little different.
We were havin a bbq on friday but that got moved to last night so i needed to make the cookies now.
I used about an oz of crap trim and 250 grams of butter.
I put about the same volume water and butter on the burner at the lowest
heat possible.
Keep it stirred wait until trim is dark i did it for about 45 min maybe could have done it longer.
When i put it in the strainer i pushed hard with the spoon to get out all the liquid fats
Then i cooled it a bit and put it in the fridge my daughter grabbed the bowl about an hour after and spilled the water all over the place but saved the butter
I made 15 cookies in all using the only the Cannabutter
One of my friends said they were the best tasting cookie he ever ate
They were really tasty so i think that a cheese cloth is not necessary to avoid a bad taste
The dose: Double the suggestion here but was not my best trim but still not fan leaves.
I had 3 and felt great 1.5 hrs to really notice more than the buzz i was getting from smoking. Happy and Up one of six passed out after 3 hours the rest hung in there for a while and had a great night.
I would prefer them stronger
We were hangin on a beach all on our backs watching the stars and we all saw an amazing shooting star that was like 5 times the size of any other star As it was flying it was either busting up or hittin other stars and put on one hell of a show that spanned like half our visible space in about 2 seconds, it seemed like one of the closer stars, and it wasn't gettin any closer before if burned out.
Guess what song was playin at that time Champaign Supernova
Great Night Great Way To Travel

To avoid any noticable flavor in a simpler step, can't you just keif the trim/weed real good a few times, and just use the keif?
If you did this, would you still have to cook it into the butter as long??? You could then skip the straining altogether....

I have stored it for 4 months and used it to cook with I wouldn't eat it with out cooking if its over a couple months old . Look at the expiration date on the butter package to get an idea

Made some today. Only used 3g of HIGH quality bud (Purple ICE) to be exact. Pray I can feel the effects of the 4 brownies i made with it.

Is the bud supposed to turn brown? My bud is still green and the butter looks normal color....
the color should be green/tan in color not like yellow butter.

Hmm it's completely yellow, looks completely normal but REEKS of weed. I used 1/2lb of butter but only about 2.5g of fresh Haze and 1.5g of vaped bud. Intend for it all to be ingested by 4 people so was thinkin it'd be enough.

Be sure to put in VERY little alcohol. If there is any leftover it will make ti so the butter doesn't solidify in the fridge. a HUGE problem/
dont know if you caught this but I feel that you need to eat 150% of the aount u would smoke in one sitting. So 4g's to 2 sticks of butter means each one of you will have to eat about 1/8th of a pound of butter. You should have used 1 stick or less.

lol well I geneerally smoke anywhere from .05-.2g per sitting (vaporize). BUt as disgusting as eating 1 stick of butter sounds...it's not that hard if you're making brownies. My 2 sticks of butter made 6 brownies....So eating 3 isn't that hard. I actually gave someone 1/4 of a brownie today and she said she was feeling high...so...we'll see. I'm eating them tomorrow.

exactly hat i was wondering?
so dry sieve an ounce get 5-6 grams of kief and use that for 3 1/2 sticks?
