Dosing Your Cannabis Cookies

• Estimate potency: If your cannabutter contains 10 mg THC per teaspoon, and your recipe uses 16 teaspoons (about ½ cup), then the entire batch has 160 mg THC. Divide by 24 cookies = 6.6 mg THC per cookie.
• Beginners should start with 2.5–5 mg THC.
• Always label your cookies and store safely away from kids and pets.

Storage

• Keep cannabis cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
