I got a mix that says 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 3 tbl spoons of water and 2 eggs. I only have an eighth so should I use all this or should I use less mix/oil?

If you're a lightweight make cut the final product into 8 pieces and eat 1 for a dose. however if you have a tolerance I would suggest using half that much mix but make 6 pieces and eat one for a dose. Also make sure to decarboxylate your weed for 10-20 mins on 245 degrees

cook the weed in the oil first, then make the brownies, but make sure the temp you bake at is like no more than 300 F

Use it all and eat half of it. It takes me a lot to actually feel much from an edible. But when I do and I take too much, watch out! Accidentally getting way too high is not fun. I ate an eighth once and was pretty high for over 24 hours. I laid in bed, puked, couldn't even listen to music, and went in to work still high the next day.

well first you have to make sure you can use the oil. It has to be high in fat so the THC can bind to that. I've personally never heard of anyone using oil to make brownies. Make cannabutter first then make brownies with that like normal.
Everything I've heard says to use a ratio of: 1 ounce of dried weed per 1 cup of butter.
So an 8th of weed should be made into an 8th cup of butter. A stick of butter is about 4 ounce (112g) and a cup is 8 ounces (224g). So about a 4th stick of butter or 1 ounce (28g). That's a pretty potent ratio, You can change it if you like but adding more butter or less weed will make it less potent and more potent by adding less butter or more weed.

The act of decarboxylating the weed is heating the weed on a low temperature in the oven for a short amount of time. What this accomplishes is the heat converts a lot of the THCA in the plant into THC. Doing this before making butter or oil typically increases the yield and potency of the final product. More THC means stronger editables.
Skipping this step because you have to bake the brownie mix for it to become not dough doesn't have the same effect. Once you've made the butter\oil there is no longer an opportunity to convert THCA into THC because the oil\butter had only absorbed the THC in the plant while it was being made. The THCA in the plant was thrown out with the plant matter. This must be done BEFORE making the oil\butter to have any effect at all.

You probably shouldn't eat a whole eighth unless you could smoke 1.75 grams in one sitting of the same weed. And I always decarboxylate prior to making the butter, which gets baked again in cookies or brownies, and usually one cookie gets me fucked up and I can make 12 cookies per 7 grams.(I'm a daily smoker) so idk that's just my experience with decarboxylation, decarbing matters more the fresher the weed is

I have made brownies a few time using an eight..
- Make sure you have some good quality buds
- On the box it will call for some oil, double that amount and add one cup of flour
- I recommend using coconut oil as it has a higher fat content. This will allow you to extract more THC from the bud.
- Heat the oil until it starts to boil then bring the temperature down to the lowest setting
- throw in you finely ground bud (a coffee grinder works perfect)
- let it simmer in the oil for a good half hour at least (longer is fine just adjust the amount of flour you add if you boil down the oil to less than what you originally added)
- use a cheese cloth or pantyhose to strain the oil and separate the weed mash from the now THC-infused oil
- add oil to your brownie mix and add any extra flour as needed, you should have a somewhat thick constancy, not too runny.
- cook for 300 degrees until perfect ENJOY!
I hope this helps. There are many good ways to make brownies but this is just my method.

if you can eat an 1/8th without being extraordinarily uncomfortably higher than shit then you fucked up. decarbing makes it literally like 1000x more potent than eating it plain

If you're wanting to eat the entire 1/8th of bud in one sitting, I'd suggest not putting the 1/8th into an entire batch of brownies. I love brownies, but I don't like eating a whole platter of them just to get lifted. If it's some potent bud, though, you shouldn't even have to eat the entire thing to get high.
I'm a daily toker and 1g of quality cannabis decarbed and baked proper will have me quite high, like barely being able to move and with a tripped out head space. 1g to 2g of good weed taken orally should be plenty to have most regular/average smokers sufficiently baked out of their gourd. A full 1/8th would have me absolutely incapacitated, either in deep sleep or tripping balls.
I also highly suggest using coconut oil rather than butter or veg-oil, it has a much higher fat content and can absorb more of the goodness. It also taste better and is better for you.
Since you're working with a relatively small amount of bud, I'd say just make a small batch of coconut oil using like 1/4 to 1/3 cup of coconut oil . Then spread that coconut oil on toast, or bake it into a single serving cookie/brownie.
Once again...if it's quality bud, if it's prepared proper, and if you don't have an absurd tolerance you're going to be really really fucking high from an entire 1/8th. Cannabis taken orally is a whole different thang .
This thread also just reminded me I have some cannabis-coconut oil chillin' in my fridge from a couple months ago, I'm gonna be getting all sorts of stoned tonight.
