Made my own cannabutter last night for the first time...
 

I hear a lot of the weed ends up going to waste. How big a bag did you use, and how much butter did you get out of it?

butter sandwich? doesn't sound very tasty

Not a very efficient way of consuming your product. Lots and lots go to waste...

But it is an experience and if you have a lot of funds then you don't give two shits about turning $40 worth of product into $16 worth in the process of making butter out of it. You are more into the effect of eating it and getting high...

With good strong butter your high can last for hours and it might take a bit for it to start coming on... Consuming it is all about the slow release...

Drinking butter, you sound stoned.

isn't the point to cook and bake with it? you really just ate a butter sandwich?

I tried and failed, never did anything to me just gave me the shits:1orglaugh

hm dont like it, it is more like some other drug than smoking marijuana, tried many things from weed many times but dont like that anymore, i like to be stoned, not to be out like a shit :) have a good trip! :)

The cool new thing is a cannabis tincture made from a bottle of Sailor Jerry rum with a few ounces of leaf steeped in it for 30 days shaken daily then filtered off.

Couple drops and you can feel it.

Don't make butter from weed. Use the plant leftovers. What you throw away after cutting. If you do it right you will get fucked up like never before. That shit is potent.

Amazing how everybody just throws away 90% of the plant :)

That's why you don't use weed for it.

Many good videos on how to make cannabutter can be found on YouTube:



Canna Catering makes some good pre-made cannabutter:

Another good alternative is to use leftover vape material which still has active cannaboids.

Your lungs are healthier, since you are vaporizing instead of smoking, and nothing goes to waste (it's like a bonus high).

Just to spice it up, I will generally grind up and add in either trimmings/kif or some inexpensive bud (there is always some 1/2 off special at my collective).

This morning I started my day with a few Golden Pineapple (18% THC) cookies with my tea, and I will have a pleasant buzz all day until tonight when I am ready to power up my volcano...

:stoned

ADG

Been doing that with vodka forever. I call it "potka"

.

oh my god :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

A good tip to get rid of as much of the sickly taste is to remelt the butter with boiling water, stir it up and let it reset in the fridge again. Repeat that a 2 or 3 times and you'll see the water get clearer. Last batch I made vanilla cup cakes and you could barely taste it at all and they each had 1g of hq bud.

Mix some hash and u would have the best sandwich

1/4 ounce isnt enough, I wouldnt even waste my time with anything less than an ounce but you have to let it simmer in a crock pot for at least 6 hours with your oil/butter. If done right it will have a similar experience to a mild hallucinogen.

sucks you wasted the quad o' mids :(

Gotta find someone who has trimmings from their harvest. Buds are for smoking ;)

One time my buddy gave me 10 elbows of it. We simmered is for over 12 hours. Yielded a large tub of dark green budder.

1/2 of a cookie or a brownie and you're good. Eat the whole cookie = bye bye for about 6 hours :thumbsup I ate 2 cookies to test it :Oh crap

Yup, if you do it right you're gone for a few hours from just 1 cookie.
I remember doing some heavy tripping from that stuff. Hallucinating my ass off. Couldn't even move my body anymore haha. That's how i liked it 15 years ago. Now i don't even smoke.

There was always one sucker around who didn't believe how strong it was. After warning him a few times we're like whatever, eat all you want. You'll find out soon enough :)

Looks like you were that mandatory sucker hehe.

very nice hahaha

Cool. :pimp

I made some with ghee, slowly simmered crushed shwag (mortar and pestle) for a couple of hours.
Filtered through a mesh screen. Came out quite potent.

sounds like too much work. just smoke the shit.

When I made brownies I noticed that the "insane high" only worked the first day or so. After that you either would have to eat enough to get a stomach ache or if you ate a few pieces again you would just get a really mild almost unnoticeable buzz. I'm sure all the edibles are the same way?

Yah it hurt no doubt. Some friends still ate two cookies. I kept saying "duuuuude you dont know"

Some people just have to learn on their own lol

I never had that problem. But i didn't eat it daily or anything close to that.

Hehe yeah.

Probably cause you just ate a bunch of butter

Make some brownies or chicken wings next time with it
