This is kinda exactly what I wanna do for my first go at edibles. Any pointers you can give?
Looking to cook 4 gs of shatter into some coconut oil and make some Ghirardelli brownies. Just not sure on exact dosing, I have a pretty high tolerance so it isn't me I am worried about
Well I'm no expert but if you're using hash oil and brownies...
Sounds like they would be super sonically strong to me! I usually cut my brownies up into 9 squares in a 9x9 pan. If your stuff is 80% THC, 1 gram would be 800mg of THC... so each brownie would be around 88mg of THC. I would try with 1 gram first, and half an edible if you're not used to them. I was used to coconut oil extracted non hash oil type edibles and the first time I had one made with around 70mg thc of hash oil I was very high for about 24 hours. You're talking a heroic canna chemotherapy type dose there.
I've never melted hash oil into the coconut oil but I think using the double boiler method you could mix it in with the coconut oil and decarb it at the same time but I don't know how long that would take. I put oil on a piece of parchment on a cookie sheet in the oven at around 200F for about 45 minutes to decarb/activate it. Once you notice there's hardly any bubbles and no large ones it's pretty well decarb'd I think.
Then you could just take that and throw it in the brownie mix... though decarbing and extracting it into the coconut oil might make them stronger by making it even more bioavailable, but in my experience just eating the activated hash oil in edibles is the strongest.
Don't bake anything medicated at over 300F, brownies I think I do 290F for like 45 minutes if I remember correctly, don't quote me on that!
