Fresh frozen vs. ISO hash butter

I want to make a small batch of cookies with about a quarter of fresh bud and trim. It's in the process of drying, but I'm wondering what the most effective way to extract the THC is - to just use fresh frozen and make cannabutter in a crock pot, or to use the frozen bud to first make ISO hash and add that to the butter? I had bubble hash cookies once and they were incredibly potent and tasted delicious... But I don't have any idea how much I will get out of a quarter... enough to make cookies?

Yea you could make a small batch of butter so it's not diluted you could call it. One stick to a quarter would pry reap decent results.
i make mine out of keif I had so much last run I made some, I ended up putting two ounces of it in a lb of butter. Darn near had myself tripping out. My dog ate two of them (sniffed em out and got em) and was on a spiritual journey for a couple days.

I've had great luck making canamilk, canaoil and canabutter
Whenever I make any of it..I use dried plant matter..grind it up and boil with the fatty substance of my choice... once boiled I strain and use only the milk,butter, or oil in almost any recipe that calls for such ingredients.

They key is...THC is FAT soluble... so it wants to latch onto fat...the fattier the butter you use... the better....
you could even add a little heavy whipping cream to it while its cooking to make sure there are enough fat cells to escape to... in my experiences... the oil and milk have been the most potent

The other important things are ratio of butter to weed.
and temp... I dont use crock pots because there is no temp indicator...
you dont want the cannabanoids to burn off...so you want to stay somewhere about (or below) 180F...
some say as high as 220F is ok... but I stay south of 200F...

The milk will suprise you if you ever do it...apparently it's an old Indian thing... lookup "Bhang"

With having only a quarter (I am assuming 1/4oz), I would grind it after it is dry, and add it to one stick butter (def. not more butter) in a small pot. I prefer to use a double boiler as to not get my material too hot. If you don't have a double boiler, you can MacGyver one. Heat it for 2-3 hrs. stir frequently. Since you don't have much cannabis, I would not strain the plant matter. Just bake cookies. You can get a Betty Crocker packaged cookie mix, be sure to get one that calls for 1 stick butter. Enjoy. If I made those cookies, I would need to eat a few to be effective. I would not use ISO to ingest, use Ethanol (Everclear 190-proof).
