Hey Flame,
After thinking about the sequence of events last night I came to the conclusion that I did not eat enough and what I ate was not good enough to coat my stomach.I am a bit of a light weight so take what I have to say with that in mind.I have never been that blasted off from weed,holy excrement Batman.I mean I could get up and go to the bathroom,get a drink and stuff but I really had to focus to do it.Glad I got my chores done first or the girls would have gone without water/feeding for the night.Im hoping that the stomach thing was just a screw up on my part on not following directions correctly.Each one of my pills weighed just at a gram each.

Flame Ill paste my brownie recipe at the end of this note.Ill also include how I make my butter.Nothing new just that Im an idiot when it comes to how much weed/trim/bud/shake I use.I am feeling better now,thanks for asking Flame.Drank to much coffee this morning to do my radio show as I was still feeling the effects from last night which didnt help.Did I mention how blasted I was,haha.I might measure everything out and see how much I used to make brownies in relation to how much butter in is the pills.Just seems like I hardly scratched the surface of the butter and I made over 30 pills.Ok, here is my recipe and how I make butter,thanks again for this great thread Flame,take care,be well,and most of all be safe.

Blackout Brownie Recipe:
(or as I like to call them, my super stupid brownies)

Butter:

2lbs of butter
10-12 cups of water (add water as the mixture cooks down)
12 cups of trim/shake/buds (the better your trim/shake/buds the better your butter will be, the best butter I ever made was using two whole plants)

There are various methods getting your trim/shake/buds into a form which one can use to make butter. If I’m using a whole plant I pull the buds off and put them into my final bag. The leaves and trim I have left over go into a food processor to make a flour like substance many call canna flour. After running through the food processor, (some folks use a coffee grinder) I then use this for my butter in the crock-pot. I am currently letting the trim dry out at this time but I also think if one just put the whole bag into the freezer right away that might work as well.

Cook on low setting in crock-pot for 12-24 hours. I usually only cook for 12 hours, add water as needed. Very important not to let the mixture cook to far down as the water keeps the cannabis from degrading in the heat. Strain the mixture through a cheese cloth making sure to press out as much of the butter from the leaf material as possible as that is where all the good stuff is locked up. Put in the refrigerator for a few hours and wait for the butter to harden. The butter will solidify on the top, take this out and put in another container and discard the water.

From the shake that I used I got approximately 50 grams per 2 cups which works out to about 600 grams of shake/trim/buds for my recipe. We all know that there are 448 grams in a pound so this works out to 896 grams of butter. This gets us pretty close to a 1:1 ratio of butter to weed. I understand it’s a bit impractical for most folks to use over a lbs of weed to make butter but this can be scaled down for your use. I make butter a few times a year with my left over trim that I keep in the freezer.

Note:
You will want to let the mixture cool a bit as you don’t want to burn your hands, but you still want the mixture pretty warm so that you are able to press as much of the butter out of the plant material and your cheese cloth as possible. I use the twist and press method right up to the point of tearing the cheese cloth (which often happens). I have used synthetic cheese cloth as its so much cheaper but I prefer working with natural cheese cloth (it does tear a bit easier).

Brownie recipe:

Ducan and Hines chewy fudge brownie mix (I use the two egg variation)

To this add:
1 package of 8oz cream cheese
substitute ¼ cup of cream (half and half) for water as called for in the mix
1 package of swirled caramel and chocolate chips
¾ of a package of Heath pieces toppings
¼ of cup of hot fudge sundae topping
½ cup of caramel sundae topping
¾ cup of melted cannabis butter (recipe calls for ½ cup of oil)

Warm up the cream cheese for 30 seconds in the microwave and cut into the brownie mix. I add two eggs as I like the chewy brownies not the cake like ones. I then add the entire package of caramel and chocolate chips, a ¼ of the package of the Heath topping and then the hot fudge and a ¼ cup of the caramel sundae toppings. Finally I add the melted cannabis butter and mix as directed on the package with the exception being that I use a ¼ cup of cream instead of water . After pouring the mixture into a 13 X 9 pan I sprinkle the rest of the Heath topping over the top of the brownies. I then heat up the caramel topping and drizzle the remainder over the brownies and cook for thirty minutes.

I have experimented with the amount of butter used in my recipes. In the past I have used as much as a full cup of butter. This was probably overkill as I think you hit a point of diminishing returns. A ¾ of a cup mixture seems to be just about the right amount of butter to use. The brownies aren’t to greasy and I am not wasting any of the precious butter.


Final recommendation:

In a 9x13 pan I used to cut the brownies into 15 squares. For the most part everyone who had one of these eventually cut them in half and ate them that way as I had reports of some folks still being messed up the next day. So now I cut them into approximately 2x2 (just under) squares and that is just about half the size of what I was doing. Seemed like over kill to have the brownies that big when after eating one folks were only then eating half because of their experiences with these treats. I have been told by long time smokers and brownie consumers that these brownies got them the most messed up they had ever been. A few friends who are medical patients informed us that within an hour and half their pain was gone or substantially subsided without the stomach problems that their doctor prescribed pain medication frequently gives them.

Make sure you are where you want to be in an hour and a half (on an empty stomach, times vary from individual to individual) because when these babies kick in you might have a hard time finding your way back home or to where ever it is you want to be. Works great for joint pain and anything else that is bothering you. We’ve had friends take these late at night (after 11pm) and are still feeling the effects the next morning so this might also be a consideration when consuming these little treats.
