Dosing – How Many Grams of Weed for Pot Brownies?
Finding the perfect dosage for homemade edibles can be tricky, and it may take some trial and error before you hit the ideal level of potency. Nonetheless, it’s not impossible to find how much weed you need to make pot brownies. To start, determining your dosage is wholly based upon:
- The oil or butter’s THC content
- The user’s tolerance level
Most of the time, estimated THC content can be found online in strain reviews. From there, multiply that potency percentage by the dry weight of the weed you plan to use, and there’s the THC potency of your oil or butter. This number can be used to determine dosage by individual serving simply by dividing it by the number of servings in your pan.

Can You Freeze Pot Brownies?

How Much Weed Should I Use in my Recipe?
The question isn’t how much cannabis you should use for your brownies – it’s how much cannabis you should use for your oil or butter. The most common ratio is 1 oz. of bud to 16 oz. of oil or butter.
The recipe above calls for 1/3 cup of cannabis oil or butter, which breaks down to a bit over a ¼ oz. of weed.
