Cannabutter using resin?

[jay2jay99]

Hi there, I'm not actually a huge smoker, gave up cigarettes a few years ago and the hash went with it. :-( I still miss it and have thought of making some brownies. I've looked at a few recipes and they list approx 1lb of butter to 1 oz of cannabis, that's all well and good but I need just under 1/2 lb of butter so that would mean half a oz of cannabis, in the UK and for skunk that would cost about £80-£100 ($160-$200). For a batch of brownies? Does this seem right?

This is the recipe I found:
Cannabutter in 7 easy steps


And I also found this one which recommends using a fair bit less:
How To Make cannabutter


And the main thing I wanted to ask is can I use resin in the butter melting process, will it have the same effect? When I say resin, I mean the solid version that you have to burn and fluff into your joint? Sorry, NooB :-)

Any help will be most appreciated!

You mean hash and/or Kief, kef, keef?

Yes,
you can use hash and even hash/cannabis oil
instead of bud/plants.
The main thang to keep in mind,
THC will vaporize around 300+ degrees.
You cook it too hot and it goes up in steam.

Cool, what about the quantities? I'm gonna be using about a 1/4oz of hash in about 185g (0.4lb) of butter. does this sound acceptable? Is it enough? Bear in mind I don't smoke really now anymore.

There ya' got me,
you may have to play with it to see what works best for you.
