^^^^^^^Me neither because it is hard to smoke when you're sleeping, edibles flat knock my ass out. 
Do you have to decarb before baking?

They don't do that to me. A lot of the time cookies give me energy. I like a cookie before going for a hike or adventure.^^^^^^^Me neither because it is hard to smoke when you're sleeping, edibles flat knock my ass out.
I guess the ingredients that you start with, and the amount probably play a huge part into it.

lol the one time I got knocked out by them was when they gave me the munchies and I ate crazy amounts of food and had a sugar crash. They do make me feel a bit weaker, but usually I can power through and even hop on the bicycle with a little motivation...I just love the fact that I don't have to smoke, I will be making another batch soon.^^^^^^^Me neither because it is hard to smoke when you're sleeping, edibles flat knock my ass out.

Out of curiosity - how much did you eat at one time that knocked you out?
I've eaten weed before (the first couple times) and I could have sworn they were mushrooms - I felt MESSED.
Recently though - they give me a body buzz, and I laugh a lot. But tons of energy - I rarely sit on the cookies.
Usually, I would eat between 0.5 - 1.5 gram of shake. A huge gap there, and it is shake and then buds that were screened for hash. So from smoking it, you would not get much of a high.
Always curious to hear the amounts that other people eat. Especially when it's like "I WAS SO HIGH I SPOKE TO SPONGEBOB" or something like that...

Hard to say exactly, I made 1.6 oz of sugar-trim into 3 sticks of butter (I heard about 1.5oz per lb of butter so I took one stick out to make it a little stronger) At first I would just mix up the butter with peanut butter and eat on bread (not too tasty) But I ate a chunk about the size of a large ice cube... I think i passed out because i got the munchies and ate up half the snack cabinet lol.
The last stick i used in cookies and it almost seemed to hit me harder, I think eating it "straight" doesn't digest right.

I also gave some of the cookies away and got good reviews. My boss said he slept through something important lol. Another friend with really high smoking tolerance said he didn't feel the need to smoke all day. I am liking the world of edibles.
And the one time i got a little uncomfortable i think i ate like 4 cookies and got a little anxiety. Nothing serious but i think that was my limit.

I've felt the same way about eating the butter in "raw" form. I've gotten different effects from the raw cookie dough compared to the baked cookies.
Also - If I eat too much, sleepiness does come. Especially if you add alcohol.
3/4 of a lb of butter is 1 1/2 cups, which is 24 Tbsp. 24 Tbsp butter (that's if you didn't loose any in the process) has 1.6 oz of weed (44.8 g). So 1.87 g per Tbsp?
That's pretty strong, especially if you are using good bud. I probably would eat 1/4 of your cookie at a time - and then a full one would last the day.
I'm not usually out to get fucked up though.

It wasn't GOOD bud, it was just decent homegrowns from bagseed I like( and just the sugar leaves from them). I made it strong because in the past any time ive tried edibles it didn't seem to do the trick (maybe fools I hung out with didn't know about decarbing?) But now that I know It does work and it last much longer than smoking I will be getting my bake on any time I can. I actually smoked all day yesterday and ive been coughing up crap all morning.
Next batch will be using some actual bud so It will be stronger. then maybe ill keep it to 1 cookie at a time.

Soooo.. I made that 2nd batch, and It was moister than the trim I had been saving. Well I didn't decarb. I ate like 5 while at work and didn't feel much. even at home barely anything. But I did notice it still made me sleepy. (I napped for 2-3 hours yesterday and still slept 8+ hours last night)
I guess my big question is does all the other cbds and other components need to be "activated" like thcA into THC? or is it ready to be felt full strength without the "high" of the THC? I gave my aunt one last night (she has trouble sleeping, but doesn't like the high feeling) so ill see how she liked it too/ if it helped her sleep.
But any ideas on the inactive THC butter?

Very imformative link, looks like I should have gone 27 min instead of 30 by what that graph says . But I did lose 2.9g of water weight, which was 7.4% of the total. (seemed pretty dry but the Stuff was definatly not decarbing over time with that kind of moisture.) I also reused the 3 sticks worth of "inactive" green butter and a new one to make this good batch. I might have to run in the croc again with fresh water to try and clean it up a bit. My first really decarbed batch so we'll see how it goes.
And my aunt chickened out with that cookie so no review about the sleeping effects, lol little old ladys are funny. (shes scared she might bug out or something)

^that batch was pretty good, everyone was impressed who tried it. Ive got a batch in the croc now that is super strong. Last one was about 1.25oz per LB this one is going to be 1.8oz per LB. And not starting with green butter so hopefully its not as "tastefull". I also decarbed for 25 min instead of 30 and lost 8.4% water weight. This stuff is a year old so I don't even think 25 is necessary. I think 20 would have been just fine. (From what ive read its the real fresh stuff that needs the full 27-30 range.)
I find that one oz per 1 lb of oil/butter is perfect, and one dose (cookie for instance) works best. I use it every night for my RLS, and also to curb cravings for alcohol. I once made it with 2oz per lb, and it was way overkill 
Mind you, most of my product is used in cooking, so it's only primo stuff I use.
Glad it worked out @ayr0n

Yes, it needs to be decarbed. It helps convert THCA to THC to heat the raw material before performing an extraction into oil or butter, giving you a more potent end product.

I've used my fan leaves for cooking for many years. I grind them and use it as flour. I've found about a gram to be a good dose. In an 11" X 17" baking pan, a batch of brownies with ~100 gm of ground fan leaves, one cup, can make 105 brownies (7 X 15). I usually double the chocolate to cover the green taste. I haven't decarbed prior to baking before, I'll give it a go. I have found 1-2 brownies is plenty. Most of my friends can handle one. They are gluten free too.

if you do the decarb, start with half of what you would normally eat. There will be a good difference in effect after it is decarbed.
