Failed Pot Brownies.

So my fiance and my roommate made some pot brownies while I was at work today. They fried 4.8 grams of weed in one stick of butter, then made the brownies. They cut them up into twelve pieces. I thought the brownies would be really potent, so I decided we should all have half a brownie and go from there to see what the effects would be.

45 minutes later, I'm feeling a little loopy and the guys aren't feeling much of anything at all, so we all eat the other half. We're at over an hour for the second piece now and we're feeling nothing. I was feeling a little buzzed for a bit, got angry about something for a little bit and it went away.

So...can anyone tell me what happened?

they could have used a "wrong" kind of butter or cooked it too long.

very true.. although magarine will work for canna butter, real butter works much better as it is much higher in fat and thc is fat soluble... i almost made the same mistake once, till i read in real big letters on the bottom of the video to not use magarine, or i can't believe that's not butter, but to use real butter..

They cooked the weed at a simmer for 30 minutes and used butter, not margarine.

hmmm.. i don't know then.. that definitely sucks though...

Well if you guys have used roughly 5 g's and made 12 brownies, and youve eaten one total? Thats less than a half gram of weed. It takes more than a gram for me to feel much of anything eating weed. Have another one. If im going to make cannabutter though I try to even the doses to roughly a gram, so one will get ya feeling good and two to go wild haha.

You didn't use enough weed. I use 1oz trim to 1lb butter. 1/2 lb butter=16 cookies and you didn't simmer it long enough

Here's what you want to do.
Use at least 7 grams of kind bud, or 1oz of sweet leaf (bud leaf).
Now get a big bowl and fill it 3/4 up with water then take the water and pour it into a sauce pan or whatever there called (big noodle boiling pot) and turn on high until it starts to boil, then turn down to a low simmer, once simmering on low add 3 sticks real (fatty) butter. Once melted add Material (ganja) and allow to simmer for 45-60 mins, stiring once in awhile.
What is happening is the thc is being asbored into the fat from the butter or vice versa.
Now after that 45-60 mins strain your Butter/material out and pour the water/butter back into the Big Bowl.
Now take the Bowl of Buttered water and sit in fridge for 3 hrs (give or take) and don't move it around, just wait for the butter to harden on top of the water, and all the small material to sink down.
Poke a hole in butter and drain out water, collect butter without mess and use.

I use 9-14 grams of kind bud and 3 sticks of butter, that gives me about 2 sticks of Ganja Butter.
We make brownies and cut 24 squares, one square will STONE you for 6-8 hrs (wait time 45-65 mins).

ya 5 grams over 12 brownies aint very much. also if you eat food before the brownies it can take longer to kick in or not even kick in at all. eat 1/4-1/2 of that pan of brownies you should feel something then i always thought it took atleast a gram to feel anything eating it. you guys are eating less then half a gram each

I've never had a box of brownies come out fine with butter. Usually with butter you want to cook it for a long time on a very low temp.

What I personally do for brownies is I buy the brownie mix that needs only water, eggs, and oil (don't buy the butter type).

I then cook my weed (any amount over 3.5 will be enough. I use 5-15 grams) in oil. I get veg oil chop up the weed and cook the contents till the weed looks cashed (generally a medium flame is perfect). It literally will look like someone smoked it/vapped it). This process takes about 20 mins. I then get a fine metal strainer and separate the greens from the oils. I then add the oil to the brownie batter like the directions state (you may have to add more normal oil). I then cook that bitch and get perfect brownies every time. Granted this isn't the best tasting brownies but they do the fucking job real nice!

It all depends on what you are useing. Myself I only need 9 or so grams for good brownies (24) and 14 grams for Killer ass Brownies (24).
