making cannabutter is this enough

okay so i grew 2 nice plants.i only got like 18 g's from the both of them sinced i used 1 gallon pots and 1 plant the bigger one which wasnt lollipopped was rootbounded of seedless crystally bud.

So i got 1 stick of butter in the water and like 3 grams of bud leaves plus all the stems and branches from plant in the cannabutter its cooking now i plan on simmering 1 hour then putting in the freezer so i can have it ready to digest like a hour later.do i have enough stufff in their will the 3 grams of leaves and the plants stems be enough to get me nice high ?

For strong cannabutter, Use atleast a half ounce of nice trim, or a quarter ounce of bud per stick of butter. Simmer the bud and butter in water for 4 hours. You want to cook it till the herb starts to take on a reddish color and looks like spinach. At this point, you have cooked all of the thc out of the plant matter, and also when you cook for this long, it highly improves the taste of your butter, because all of the pot taste has evaporated. You know its ready when its red. Strain through cheesecloth or a metal strainer and pop it in the freezer. Should be ready in about an hour. If you only have 3 grams to cook with, lower the amount of butter you put in your pot. You wont be able to bake anything but you can spread than shit on some toast and get toasted!! Respect

3 grams is a bit light, i think there is a conversion somewhere that states for each gram of weed add a certain amount of butter. I make it now and again and my butter goes greeny brown and taste like pure thc, i do make mine strong, look up on the web for how much butter per gram of weed as i can't remember now.

well i guess ill find out in a hour i got it in the freezer now then ima eat it all and hope to be stoned thanks for help pz

If i make butter i heat for about an hour then put in the fridge. I then seperate the butter from the water and heat again for a few mins in the microwave till liquid and let it set for a final time, this futher allows water trapped in the butter to escape. If it taste like butter and pure thc then its ok.

hmmm.... what does thc taste like?

Take a load of bud or trim and tumble it in a sieve, take the trichrome heads that fall and make some hash, eat it and to me that is the taste of thc. Although there are over 100 canabinoids in marijuana i see thc as one of the most prevelant, concentrated and probably the one with the strongest taste. This pure taste is what i look for when i make butter, if i get this taste and the colour is right then i know it a pure clean product and gona get me high.

This is the reason why after i seperate my cooled butter from the residual water i heat it gently again to hopefully release any other compounds that might have become trapped in the cooling or heating process.

I believe the butter can futher be refined down in to ghee or clarified butter where the fat is futher seperated from the whey and milk proteins. I have never gone to this step but believe since the canibinoids are generally water insoluable and cling on to the fat in the butter that futher clarifying it would produce a superior and more cleaner product.

If you go crazy and make ghee remember that you need unsalted butter. Sorry i cook and bake a lot. Peace

You really don't need to put the stems in. I would strip down all the stems and toss 'em in the garbage as there's a negligible (if any at all) amount of thc in them.

Also, I know you said you were making an entire stick of butter with 3 grams and then later you said you were gonna try and eat it. I hope you're not really fixing to eat an entire stick of butter in one sitting. *yack*

I cook a lot and one stick of butter is 50grams, to us chefs anyway. There is a conversion for cannabis butter, think of the top of my head it was 3 grams good bud trim or bud to one stick but its been such a long time since i read this. Personally i find it is a personal thing as to how much butter and weed you add. Firstly the you need to add more weed if it is low potency or weak and less if it is stronger.

Next you need to consider what the main purpose of the weed is for. If it is for a butter rich cooking product such as cookies where you add a load of butter you wouldn't need the butter to be very strong because you will be ingesting a lot of it. Now if you made somthing with a small amount of butter in the recipie then you will need it to be strong to have any effect.

Ingesting cannabis is a big topic in itself but if you do it i recomend you use dried bud and stick to baking products that bake at 180c or below as any higher will affect potency. Personally i like my butter in brownies or somthing that will compliment the strong taste of weed, most brownies and cakes bake at 180c or below so these are a good choice of baking product. Peace
