Cannabis butter with concentrate purchased at Curaleaf

New to all of this so need to be educated. Had my card for a while now and up to now I've just been using the various Curaleaf products. However, I would like to try and make some edibles. I have done some research and understand you need to decarboxylate weed to make cannabis butter. But, I was told at Curaleaf that I could simply use their concentrate to make butter which sounds a whole lot easier. I've looked all over the web and I can't seem any recipe that tells me that I can do this and nothing about how much concentrate to us in making cannabis butter. Curaleaf wasn't much help here. Any help is appreciated.

Welcome, cowboy
Distillates normally extract precursors as well as psychoactive compounds. You will need to make sure your product reaches a high enough temp when cooking to decarb your concentrate/butter. I use my concentrate making brownies for my pain meds. I plan on about 200mg/portion and the recipe makes 16. Depending on the concentration of the extract(normally 70-80% for mine) it is usually about 4 grams of concentrate per batch. Very tasty and effective.

Thanks, for your response. But, I'm confused. If the concentrate (as I understand it) is already decarbed why am I decarbing it again when I mix it with the butter? And, what kind of ratio of sticks of butter to ml or mg of concentrate should I use? Or would that depend on how strong I would want, say, 1 tbsp.?
