Extraction canna coconut oil question

[Otto]

ok so a while back i put some sugar leaf and loose calyxes into about threeish tablespoons of coconut oil and put it on a shelf in the closet where it would go from a liquid in the day time to a solid at night and let it sit. that was about three and a half weeks ago and it's gotten nice and green. i didn't put a whole lot of material in as in the past when making edibles with reg brick weed it just put me to sleep and didn't help my problem much at all, so i didn't want to risk a lot. i estimate the input green to be about five bowls for me, or five doses. i smoke daily but i only use about a half gram of good weed per day so i don't smoke just a whole lot so that's my tolerance info.

a couple questions

what would a ballpark dose be? do you think a fourth of the oil would be enough or at least a good starting place?

since i used time instead of heat to infuse the oil should i heat it before i eat it? i don't have an oven that i can dial in to an accurate temp but i would probably mix the dose into peanut butter and make a fire cracker out of it if the temp being accurate isn't a huge deal.

if i need to heat it what would be the best way to do so without getting it too hot and what temp range should it be in?

should i abstain from smoking for a day or two first? i'm almost out of meds so this would be difficult but i could if it would be wasted otherwise

the strain is auto white cheese and it works pretty well for me

any feedback is appreciated up front!

You will just have to try it. There's no way for me to know your tolerance or the strength of the extract. But start with a teaspoon or less. You can also add more oil to control the strength
better. I found some small ice cube trays, and made cannabutter cubes I keep in the freezer.

I had a very strong reaction the first few times I did it. Now I just get a little buzz.

Consider washing it. You do that by adding water, heating and stirring.
Some of the green will go into the water and then you freeze it, pull the butter off
and do it again.

You do that a few times until the water stays clear.

I make a cookie with mine, in a 300F oven.

I have no idea if that's best, it's just what I do.

thanks for the reply, i'll definitely do that to clean it up first. i just always hate taking the edible plunge with a new-to-me method, some fats i imagine have way more capacity to absorb the goods. i hate anything remotely resembling a trip, the out of control feeling gets me panicky every time. the first time i made butter out of shwag i was wringing the melted butter out of the weed ball bare handed and without giving it a second thought i cleaned my fingers off KFC style so i could get the slipperiness off without having to put everything down and head into the kitchen. everything was normal until i went to lay down and then it all hit me at once, it wasn't bad at all though that was before trippish things made me panic. it was a really psychedelic type thing with some closed eye geometrics, basically just enhanced phosphene behind the eyelid stuff. it was also very floaty, i felt like one of those orange circus peanuts two for a dollar at the checkout line. within i'd say a half hour i was sound asleep, but i remember getting really comfortable like a reasonable dose of valium or xanax used to do.

It is very easy to get trippy with edibles.

In that case, I'd suggest diluting the stuff, and start very slowly.
