My father is dying of leukemia and is suffering from the disease and the side effects of treatment. I personally don't have any experience with pot since high school (a very long time ago). But I think that from everything that I have heard that this is something that can help. There are conflicting recipes out there, can someone help me cut to the chase? I just want to make a 1/4 pound of canna butter for a simple prepackaged cookie recipe. I want to use the stovetop method to make the butter and think I understand what to do. Can someone chime in on how much pot I need for the quarter pound of butter to achieve a therapeutic effect vs an intense high? I would be so grateful for your insight and comments asap.

With this method you'll want about 1/4 ounce of buds or trimmings (maybe a little more than 1/4 if using trimmings) If it turns out too strong you can always offset the cookies with normal butter. Try it out on toast or something before making the cookies.

I'm no expert on making butter but doesn't 1/4 pound seem like a lot? In fact it's been quite a few years since I've made it but I never used more than an ounce and always got pretty rocked.

Oh shit! I meant ounce. Thanks Doc for pointing that out!I'm no expert on making butter but doesn't 1/4 pound seem like a lot? In fact it's been quite a few years since I've made it but I never used more than an ounce and always got pretty rocked.
I use 1/2 oz per half pound and one cookie will have a nice body high for 5-6 hours and I may also add some smoked cannabis to top it off before bed.

You might also check out sublingual tinctures as well. Very easy to make and a very powerful medication.

Tincture may be a tad much for a terminally ill, older person. Nothing wrong with options though.

I was thinking more along the lines of ease of use. A dropper full taken orally can relieve pain for up to 5 hours. Tincture can last a few months if stored in a cool dark, dry place. Best way to medicate in my opinion, no need to use budder in baked goods.Tincture may be a tad much for a terminally ill, older person. Nothing wrong with options though.

Wow everyone, thanks so much! I tried Arsehole's method with mixed success. I used the budder (I'm learning lol) and made it with the BettyCrocker chocolate chip cookie recipe. Not sure what I did wrong, but the cookies taste horrible, not sure my dad will eat them. My husband tried a cookie and was disappointed, but I think it was just a really delayed effect as he seems pretty jazzed now. And thank you purplehazin, I had never heard of sublingual tinctures before. Thank you again for all of your posts and help!
