Well yes and no.  I've been messing around with just eating my weed lately and I'm starting to get some ideas about weed in my food.

First I agree you can eat less for less of a trip.  The trouble with that is it takes several experiments to get the just right does which can result in additional "Death Trips" or at least mild discomfort.  Those sorts of trips are just totally counter to the point of the recreational use of weed for me.  I use weed to relax and unwind and kill back pain.  I certainly don't want my heart racing, my anxiety through the roof, and the worst dry mouth you can imagine.  Also starting with really really tiny amounts and working your way up seems to be a crumby but necessary way to go (pardon the pun).  You have to eat a tiny bit, wait half an hour or so then get disapointed for getting pretty much nothing.  Then you repeat the process with a little bit more.  This wastes a bit of it and lots of time.  Also I've found eating weed has a cumulative effect.  So those nibbling experiments really only give you a rough idea of where to start your experiments next time.  Here again you will either have a little waste or discomfort. 

Another reason not to make them too strong is taste.  Simply put weed tastes bad.  The more of it you put in something the worse that something tastes.  I don't really recommend putting bud straight in your cooking.  Somethings cover the taste a bit but anytime you get a little bud particle in your mouth ... well it isn't pleasent.  As I mentioned before I have done acetone extractions on fan leaves before for THC Resin.  That's tricky too.  It is hard to judge how much resin is good for say a pan of brownies or what have you.  Then you have to make certain you mix it evenly in the badder.  That said, the taste is way way better but still quite noticeable. 

I have some cannibutter I'm dieing to try out, by itself it doesn't taste terrible I'm hoping through it I'll achieve the best of both worlds.  Reasonably good taste and medium potency.

So good luck to you and your leaves.  Perhaps try making some cannibutter with them and use extra butter in the brownie mix. (where you are substituting butter for oil).
