No, all Cannabis has its own unique smells and flavors. Some less appealing than others.

That green flavor? I don't care for it myself. Never have. Stronger spices cover it up. Full flavor is cannabutter on toast. No salad can match that flavor...ugh.

How are using the cannabis? Do you make canna butter? I make a lot of edibles and they taste great.. Most things are better with the cannabis flavor. Most people can't even detect a "weed" flavor in my products. They just like it because it tastes good; getting high is secondary. You're doing something wrong in the preparation if you're getting a bad taste.

Usually coconut oil. Don't use water as I didn't want to risk any mold.

That's your problem. You are getting too many impurities in your extraction. When you use water it helps to separate the icky stuff from the cannabis oil. Refrigerate it afterwards and it will separate out, leaving you a much purer and better tasting product. Just pour off the water and impurities. It will keep with no problems for a week or so in the refrigerator...longer in the freezer

Ya this is an old thread but
more green =/= stronger. You could be cooking it too long during extraction. When you do that, the chlorophyll starts cooking into your butter or oil or whatever. You shouldnt be extracting your THC into oil,on the stove, for longer than an hr. Exceptions of course. Just find the heat/time balance.

chlorophyl starts to cook out? well, in tap water it rinses out in a jar, its water soluble.
extract the essential oils first then use those for cooking. nobody likes cabbage in their brownies man.
I run two ounces in 30 minutes, recover my solvent in a couple hours and use no heat on my cannabis/oil using a Tamisium.
its been rocking it for near 7 years with nary an issue. I can add the oil to butter in a recipe, or individual dosing of any candy/cookie dish easily.

it does come out in your slow cook no doubt. it tastes bad and causes upset tummy for some.
even a water rinse/bath of buds before you cook it down will help. swirl gently and watch the water turn green
