clarified butter for edibles

That is very true, however using pure coconut oil is much more recommended. Heres my
Cannabutter recipe though, backed by serious science... this isnt some kids recipe telling u to add water and butter and simmer for 2 days in a pot or something dumb. http://forum.grasscity.com/incredible-edible-herb/1268470-cannabutter-right-way.html If you ever decide to use coconut oil, just do the same thing only the cook process is different. 2 hours at 220 degrees either in pot or oven with constant stirring and 30 minutes of cooking at 220 degrees F the next day as well after freezing overnight, then its ready! Good luck! hope you try my
method youll be very happy.

 

Here's all the info you need and more, highlighting the importance of avoiding water when processing (this is the main reason that clarifying butter before beginning is so important).

 The below info will help you immensely along your path to good oil and butter... good luck and be well!

____


 This page goes into greater detail on avoiding water contamination when making oil or butter, and why clarified butter should be used over regular butter, which is as much as 10% water:

And here are tutorials for making fully activated, high quality, medical grade cannabis oil, and a few excerpts from posts made by Kat:

You'll want to consider coconut oil or clarified butter for your oil, both for the best bioavailability (ie. the most efficient absorption and delivery), as well as for the best storage where these are very shelf-stable and solid at the average room temperatures.


These tutorials will help guide you through the process of making medical grade oil.. don't worry, it is EASY!


It takes less than 15 minutes of effort on your part, over the course of just two or three simple steps, and the rest of the processing time is spent waiting while your cannabinoids become active and bioavailable.

From a recent post on producing medical grade, highly bioavailable oil:

"
Coconut oil (and for most people, lecithin) will provide the most rapid and reliable absorption medium for cannabis glandular material.


This is due to the high MCT and saturated fat contents of the coconut oil (and due to the highly bioavailable phosphlipids within the lecithin which, in conjunction with the same caprylic 8-carbon acids found in coconut oil, are now being utilized in the most modern and efficient pharmaceutical/prescription grade medications to aid in and enhance the bioavailability of both water soluble and insoluble chemicals when taken orally, and to enhance even the transdermal absorption of both oil and alcohol based solutions, and intravenous delivery vehicles)!

It's also worth mentioning that palm kernel oil is virtually equal in MCT and saturated fat content, not palm oil from the fruit/flesh, but specifically the kernel oil. I don't often bring palm kernel oil up though, because palm kernel oil, especially of the food grade variety, is not only a bit less common and more difficult to find than coconut oil, but many people mistakenly purchase palm flesh oil, which is more readily available and no better than most kitchen oils, and while it's often a red-orange color it can be clarified or bleached, making it appear very similar to the kernel oil they are actually after!


Clarified butter is your next best bet, it only contains 1/3 or less of the MCT content of coconut oil and less saturated fat, but it's MUCH better than other shelf-stable, common, grocery store oils, which contain few to no MCTs or sat fats at all. "

Each jar and bottle below, along with a few smaller gift bags with caps and chocolates, were given to the local patients most in-need and those who had suffered the most hardship this year... enough for most to medicate daily, until at least spring!






(Some smoking concentrate made the same way as the above caps, minus the oil of course, with a faster wash/rinse...)











This entire Thanksgiving Dinner, including the turkey, was fully medicated!






And just when you thought that the liquor flavored "Kopper's Cordials" couldn't possibly get any better...

We turned around, and made them with Golden Dragon.
