I know if you get this stuff at a dispensary with actual chemists, they can tell you how many mgs are in an edible, but at home it's mostly guessing, is it not? I have a lady that makes it for me, as it helps my back relax at night so I can sleep. Was thinking about cooking my own, but I wouldn't even know where to buy the weed.
First off, you don't need weed as in bud . . . just the scrap leaf from growers will do just fine, but it does need to be off of a flowering or budding plant. Weed with seeds stops producing THC so keep that in mind when just throwing a bunch of seeds in a field. I make mine with leaf or shake that came from a grower that had his weed tested and his came in at 25%. I have no idea of the percentage of my budder. I just know that it's four or five times more effective than my previous efforts before decarbing the weed. That's why I use cake instead of cookies. Cake uses much less butter and you can control the level of the high so much better. Accidentally eat a second cookie and your day is ruined. Eating too much and getting too high on edibles is an awful feeling. Yeah, you sleep most of it off, but you will not want to touch weed at all for a couple of weeks. I've known total stoney wasteoids completely quit weed after ingesting too much THC just one time.
NEVER BOIL IT. You're just making shitty tasting butter. The crock pot must have settings of OFF-WARM-LOW-HIGH. If it doesn't have a warm setting, you'd be lucky if it will only lose half of your THC through vaporizing.
I'm glad it helps you with your back. That's what the edibles are actually best at. I still prefer the head rush from smoking it much more than the measured plateaued high of the edibles, but edibles give you one Hell of a body high. Before my Mom passed away, she never smoked weed, but her at 73, her friend at 78 and her neighbor at 68, all loved the great sleep that they got from my edibles.
