High quality weed butter

2011-06-13T05:35:00.000-07:00

When talking about high quality cannabutter, we talk about very high potency, low residue content and a longer storage time.

The secret of this recipe is to use high quality butter and a slow cooker.

You will need:

- 1 ounce(28g) of the best weed buds you can find
- 1 stick(250g) of high quality butter
- a slow cooker pot
- a plastic container for storage
- a strainer
- a piece of cheesecloth folded in 3

1. First, you will need to refine the butter by cooking it for at least 25-30 minutes into the slow cooker on the high heat setting until a white, glossy foam rises to the top. Remove the foam using a strainer. This process will neutralize the "non-sticking" milk-fat, giving at the same time a higher potency and a longer storage time for the weed butter(milk-fat free butter doesn't have the tendency to sour when stored).

2. For this recipe we will use only half of the usual amount of butter for every ounce of weed - and that means one stick of high quality butter (250g) for every ounce of weed buds (28g) you want to use.

3. Grind the weed and add it on top of the butter into the slow cooker.

4. Let it simmer for at least 5 hours on a low heat setting, stirring from time to time. When done, let it cool for a few minutes, then strain the content of the pot thru a cheesecloth into a plastic container.

For proper storage, freeze the butter at all time !

How to make Cannabis Oil

2011-06-01T06:33:00.000-07:00

Cannabis Oil or Cannaoil is made by mixing vegetable oil with cannabinoids in order to extract the THC. Cannaoil can be used as a substitute in any marijuana cooking recipe that requires the use of oil.

1. Grind 1/2 ounce(14g) of weed buds and mix it with 1 cup of vegetable oil into a big pan.

2. Place the pan on your stove and set it to Low(don't over-burn - the oil will loose all it's properties)

3. Let it simmer from 1 to 2 hours, stirring from time to time.

4. When done, using a strainer or a cheesecloth, carefully strain the content of the pot.

How to make cannabutter from weed buds

-Put 3 cups of water into the pan (make sure the weed will float a few inches above the bottom of the pan), bring to boiling point.

-When the water starts boiling, add the butter and stir until it becomes homogeneous, bring down the heat to minimum power making sure to stir from time to time.

-Crush the weed buds and add them into the pan on top of the melted butter. Stir until homogeneous and let it simmer until the water on top becomes thick and glossy (this should take from 30 minutes up to 3 hours - depending on how low your simmering temperature is).

-Once the mix turned thick and glossy, turn off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes.

-Put a piece of cheesecloth folded in two or a strainer on top of the plastic container and slowly poor the composition into the bowl. When done, make sure to squeeze really well the cheesecloth so all the THC will reach into the plastic container.

-Now carefully place it into the freezer for a few hours.(the water will lay on the bottom of the bowl, while the butter should remain on top). Make sure to check if the butter is solid before removing it from the plastic container.

How to make cannabutter from vaporized weed

2011-04-10T09:29:00.000-07:00

In big terms, the recipe is the same as if making weed butter from weed buds, you'll only need to adjust the proportions of the ingredients. Keep in mind that vaporized weed has under 30 % of the original THC content, so when making weed butter from vaped weed, use about 4 to 6 times more vaped weed than if you would have used raw buds.

You'll need:

-a big saucepan
-a wooden spoon
-1lb (500grams) of salted or unsalted fat butter
-5 ounces(approx 150 grams) of vaporized weed
-cheesecloth
-plastic lid closed containers

1. Grind the weed (if not already grinded)

2. Put 4 cups of water into the pan (make sure the weed will float a few inches above the bottom of the pan) and bring to boil.

3. When the water starts boiling, add the butter and stir until it becomes homogeneous, bring down the fire to minimum power making sure to stir continuously so that the butter won't burn.

4. Add the weed into the pan on top of the melted butter. Stir easily until homogeneous and let it simmer until the water on top becomes thick and glossy (this should take about 3 hours at low heat). I always recommend to let the mix stir for as long as possible. If using a double layer Slow cooker pan you could even let it simmer for 20-24 hours (never more than 24 hour, because the THC will loose it's properties and the butter might become bitter)

Once the mix turns thick and glossy, turn off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. You'll need to strain the weed from the rest of the composition.

5. Put a piece of cheesecloth or a strainer on top of the plastic bowl and carefully poor the composition into the bowl. When done, make sure to squeeze really well the cheesecloth so all the THC will reach into your butter bowl.

6. Now carefully put the lid on the bowl and place it into the freezer for a few hours.(the water will lay on the bottom of the bowl, while the butter should remain on top). Make sure to check if the butter is solid before removing it from the plastic bowl.

This is how it should look like! Enjoy!

Cannabutter general information

2011-01-18T08:20:00.000-08:00

Cannabutter a.k.a weed butter, marijuana butter, pot butter or space butter is, in basic terms, a solution made by mixing different types of edible butter with raw or even vaporized cannabis strains or buds.

The THC will stick to the fat cells in butter, so nothing goes to waste as you might be thinking. Actually, the high from cannabutter products is considered by many a more intense and longer lasting high then from inhaling. This makes cannabutter a great product not only for those who can't afford to smoke anymore, but even for those who want to surprise or just can't stand the smoke from a regular joint.

Cannabutter can be made in various ways and formulas, from the simplest and most basic method (using only a pan and a wooden spoon) to some more complicated methods that require specialized equipment like a Slow Cooker.

Cooking time may vary depending on the method you want to use from a few minutes up to even 24 hours. For example, if you want to make a basic, pan cooked cannabutter recipe, you need to cook it between 8-25 minutes, keeping the temperature below 100 °C (212 °F). For a slow cooked at low temperature recipe (under 95°C in a Slow Cooker), you'll need to wait up to 20 hours.

Proportions: For every ounce of cannabis (28 grams) use 1 lb (500grams) of butter. Of course, depending on the quality of the weed you use, the proportions may suffer small variations. So, do your math, keep the proportions right and you'll experience some of the greatest sensations ever experienced.

Cannabutter can be basically used as a substitute for every recipe that requires butter.
