Question(s) for you guys.

I’m looking to make some edibles for the holidaze coming up and I keep getting conflicting information.

I’m a pretty decent smoker I think, probably smoke around 4-6 grams a week. Will 8 grams of really good weed be enough to make some potent brownie? I plan on making a small serving. Recipe calls for 1/2 cup of oil so I would put 8 grams in that or should i bump it to 10? I want them strong but not “God help me” strong.

Also I’ve seen some recipes say they just mix the oil and weed together in a jar and put it in a pot with bowling water to let it simmer without decarbing the weed and then I see some people say decarb the weed first in the oven then mix it with the oil and let it simmer to be more potent.

Any suggestions!?
