My first try at canabutter

After reading here and there, it seems there are a lot of different methods to make canabutter...So I took some info from everything and decided to try it myself.

I had a lot of dried Skunk#1 trim, so I tossed it into a coffee grinder and make a fine powder. I tossed in a hand full of bud to give it a little more kick. I ended up with 1.98 Oz of MJ powder. Just short of 2 ounces.

A 1.5GT slow cooker, 4 sticks of real butter, not that fake crap, and enough water to fill it. 4 hours on high and 20 hours on low simmer.

It formed up a nice chunk of very dark green/black butter. Since I didn't have enough room for the amount of water before, I put it back into the crock for an hour of so on low simmer and put enough water to fill it up for a 2nd wash. Then it will go through a coffee filter. With a little luck, I may get to try it out later tonight when it sets for the last time.

I never tried any edible MJ, so I am curious to try it out and see how it is. Maybe some spread on a few crackers?

check out my cook book to have some recipes and unfortunatly canna butter does not make a tasty spread by its self

Crackers, breads, all is good and I would try 2 crakers and wait one hr and judge the buzz for the following hr.

Thanks for the advice. I hear some who try it the first time don't wait long enough, eat too much, and then MAGIC TIME!

Are you still in the Magic Time? Was it any good???

I used some cannabutter in for some brownies I made around 3 weeks ago, just used some compressed swag since it was my first time doing it, the brownies ended up doing pretty good, I simmered a quarter and half a tub of butter in a pot for around an hour, then strained the weed out of the butter and only had enough butter to make 1 batch, took around an hour for any effects to start kicking in. 2 hours after eating, really felt like I was getting close to the top of the mountain, 3 hours later I realized just how big the mountain was, and the peak lasted for around 2-3 hours, when it wore off it was so gradual it lasted another 3-4 hours, so all in all I'd say off 1 brownie I got 8 hours of effect, 6 of which was pretty intense.

I will say though, the brownies definately did not taste good by themselves, had to have icecream and fudge and other flavor maskers, as the weed taste from the butter was quite strong.

Haven't had time to try it yet. We found a sugar cookie recipe that we are going to do. We just need to find a time when the kids are gone (an ex weekend) and where we won't have any unforeseen responsibilities.
Since I am doing a fireworks shoot Sat. night, probably not a good idea to try them
We are thinking about this Sunday afternoon and we will have the rest of the night to chill.

I don't know how you're going to make your butter or what it will taste like, I do know that mine tasted heavily of MJ to the point it was almost disgusting to eat, I definately think it would have been worse used with less complex flavoring (such as a sugar cookie)

Chocholate brings out the Gnja taste? We made sugar cookies and it was less green flavored. Ass kicking cookies they where. I would eat 1/2 of a cookie and be buzzed for 4-5 hrs.

Chocolate might enhance the green taste, it might even be that I didn't cook the butter long enough or too long, I just took a quarter of some compressed probally mexican swag and through it in a pot with like 3 cups of butter and let it simmer for around an hour on very low heat stirring once and a while until the butter had an oil like consistency and it was very clear, then I drained the Butter into a bowl and separated it from the green.

The taste could be attributed to the large amount of green I actually used since it was swag I had to use alot therefore causing the butter to aquire the taste. Either way I had to cover the taste up with Icecream and Fudge, which honestly was the way I would have ate them anyway so no loss there!

What method did you use in making your butter, what was the quality of the herb you used? Either way edible treats that mess you up are grrrrreat!

Update:
I made brownies. I used the off the shelf packet and instead of using the 1/3 cup veg. oil I used 1/3+ cup melted canabutter.

The wife tried half a piece last night. From 1-60 min she went from stone cold sober to looking and sounding like she had been drinking. At just over an hour she said she was stoned and went to bed...

I ate a half piece just an hour ago. I got a nice mellow chill type feeling. I think its time for the other half.

ROFLAO, Where did you go? Did you get stoned and can't find your way back...

That was different. Went from mellow and chilled to the body high just short of a couch lock stone.

If I let myself, I could of went to sleep easily but it wasn't forcing me to sleep. I had all in all a nice body tingle "Hey Dude..." kind of experience.
Hell, I was up till 1AM working on the computer and just enjoying the ride.

I did notice when I am high (smoking or eating it) I seem to have a little trouble hitting icons and links with the mouse. I sort of over shoot them a few times

I need to save up more trim. The wife and I enjoy the way the ride was and I need to make more butter.

Since my first grow, my wife stated her chronic back pain from degenerative arthritis of the spine for the most part is gone. Something that she has been suffering from for 5+ years and her meds have never took the pain away. They just made her to out of it but still in pain.

I hope some day my state will be a medical state.
