Butter like this: 2 1/2 oz of bud to 8 sticks of butter. Fill a pot of water half way full, melt butter in water, add bud, simmer for 4-6 hours. Strain butter into dish and refrigerate. Replace butter in receipes with Canna-butter. Enjoy!!

I do know that some folks respond to cannabanoids more efficiently than others. Both my wife and I have to make super strong oil to get the same results someone else gets with something a lot weaker. I personally can smoke the stuff all day long and feel absolutely nothing from it. Another thing that helps strengthen the effect is adding liquid lecithin to the mix. It may or may not have been much of anything wrong in the process. It may just be your metabolism.

With all honesty, if you can smoke it all day long without feeling shit from it . . . It has been made from low potency weed.

You are completely wrong here. If the buds were no good, infused oil from the buds would not work either. I have been doing this along time. Friends come over, smoke my weed and rant and rave over how potent it is. There is nothing wrong with the weed.

I must be missing something here . . . You can " personally smoke it all day long and feel nothing from it"?

Hey there, thanks for your reply!
The product mentioned was developed by MCR Labs, otherwise known as Massachusetts Cannabis Research & Testing.
We have 0 affiliation with them and we do not own the company, unfortunately. Wouldn't that be cool though!
Let us know if you have any other questions, we're here to help.

We do coconut oil instead of butter, but other than that, this may be relevant. We decarb in the oven. 55 minutes at 225F. Then into the crock pot with the oil for 4-5 hours. Last batch we did 9 ounces of old bud and trim into 16 ounces of oil. I used to use 1.75 ounces of that per cake or bread mix, but since I like eating more cake or bread, I've cut that back to one ounce per.
Makes the math easier too. 9/16 = .5625/16 = .03515625 X 28.35 = 0.9966796875
So just over half an ounce per cake mix. Cut that cake into 16 equal {sure} pieces and each piece would be the equivalent of a gram. I smoke so little, I've actually been cutting those in half unless I'm hiking and/or away from folks.

Was that your first butter attempt? How did you squeeze or extract the butter from the cooked soaked ganja. My friend uses cheesecloth. I find I can get more return with a stronger material. Tee shirt material is what I use.

Yep. My buddy who made the Ass Cheese and Gorille de Raisin strains sent me a couple of cookies, and he warned me to only eat a half the first time, and to wait at least an hour before smoking anything. I only ate a half, but I didn't wait an hour before smoking. I didn't think I would ever come down. I would rather have to eat two than to have one be too much.

Some of the people I over dosed won't even smoke it anymore they were so freaked out. Leaving the airport from Denver Colorado there's a billboard sign that says don't let a $10 cookie ruin your vacation.lol Dude that wanted to go to the hospital said time stood still, felt like he was being pulled to the ground, couldn't stop thinking about dieing and that he would never come down. I did the same to many including my xwife. She said she felt like she was trippen on acid. I just laughed and said well just like acid your in it to win it, no turning back now. I know another guy that ate some brownies that he didn't know where marijuana brownies and he ate a bunch. Couldn't stay awake for 3 days

The essential oils have a nasty habit of mixing very uneven unless one uses something like lecithin....Also, you seemed to have skipped adding water to your butter while it boils. The nastier green stuff separates into the water as the butter part solidifies. I bought two oven thermometers, I put them in then adjust the oven until it stays at approximately 100 to105C.... Then stick the weed in. No fancy tools needed.

I guarantee you there are people who do not get high or don't get high smoking but do fine with infused oil. That us true if every strain. It is an odd thing but some people are that way. People who smoke the weed I grow, that I have been growing for over 10 years get plenty high. Over time, I have come not to care. Taking infused oil is fine. It is great. It just takes a minimum of 45 minutes to be effective. I have no explanation. That is just the way it is.

Surprisingly no, not with oil. I don't get high with anyone's weed smoking it. I am not looking for sympathy though. For me infused oil is my preference anyway. One reason I take cannabis oil is if there is any tolerance, it is not not noticeable. So, as a medicine it works as well on the 1000th day as it does on the 1st.
One thing that has changed over time, is that I have been conditioned over time so that I can go about life in a normal way, even being under the influence.
Another thing that has changed is that my health has improved dramatically since using oil.
