    Hi all -

    I picked up some edibles at local dispensaries to take home for the Thanksgiving holiday and was SEVERELY disappointed with the potency. So I'm taking matters into my own hands and making some weed butter that will hopefully blur your vision. :smoking:


    I'm using an ounce of very very nice outdoor Afgooey bud and 3/4 lb of butter (3 sticks). Yes, i'm hoping the amount of herb::butter ratio is overkill.

    I double-boiled the herb in the butter for an hour. The mixture is now sitting in my refrigerator, where I'll keep it for 24 hours. Tomorrow I'll re-thaw and strain. Stick around. :wave:

    Good idea, as long as there's not too much for the butter to fully absorb. If that's the case, you could always try doing a second run with the used weed for functional but not "facemelting" butter.

    Wait for an edible-expert to chime in, I don't really know what I'm talking about.

    Either way good luck! I love outdoor buds, they seem to have a certain kick/"euphoria" to them that indoor rarely seems to have. I always seem to get a laughy, calm, happy high from outdoor stuff, and it always smokes 10x better than it looks

    I'm actually hoping that there IS too much weed for the butter to absorb. Maximum capacity FTW!

    Good point :p in that case, be careful with the finished product! And be sure to try doing a second run so no weed goes to waste :)

    Nice dude! I did 1 1/2oz of bud in 3 sticks of butter a little while back and oh man was it STRONG!

    Oooook so here's an update.

    Let the herb marinate for 24 hours in my fridge:

    Re-thawed the butter in a double boiler and let it simmer for another 45 minutes. Then I filtered out the herbs - beautiful!

    Made a batch of cookies with a little over a 1/3 cup of butter. Gave one to three test subjects and ate one myself. It's nearly 30 minutes in and i'm feeling heavy effects on my head. I'll post a full update tomorrow :)

    You didn't decarb, man! You should always decarb before you make butter, oil, or anything you're going to ingest. I'm sure it worked alright anyway because of how much bud you used, but you really need to decarb first, that's the most important step that people tend to ignore.
    I truly hope it works out anyway, I love edibles. Next time decarb first! (220F in the oven (just the bud, before mixing with butter/oil) for 20 minutes is the most common method). Aside from that, keeping it on the heat for as long as possible always seems to help. 45 minutes isn't too long, I make oil in the oven but I try to let it go for 2-3 hours.

    Hope it works though man, give us some updates!

    Ok, I can safely say that, after eating one cookie, these are much stronger than anything I found at the dispensary. Very nice warm feeling all over my body with all of the tension in my head released. I'm very pleased with the product.

    Pezlet - to be quite honest, I've been making herb butter for a while and have never decarbed it. Now you have me very interested! I'm going to pick up another oz of the same herb and do the same method, only decarbing it next time. I'll post an update here!

    I'll be watching the thread for a response. You're gonna have an ass of cannabutter laying around hahaha. Glad yours worked though. If you don't decarb you get some different cannabinoids that are good for legitimate medical use too. Cooking with weed is really interesting, there's so much to it. Even if yours wasn't psychoactive at all (glad it is though) I would've asked you to eat it regularly anyway just to document the positive health affects.

    cus im sure he would see immediate positive health results from eating globs of butter daily.
     
  12. #12 pezlet, Nov 27, 2012
    It's 3 sticks worth. I don't expect him to see results overnight, but I would absolutely expect him to see results in the months that that could last him. You saw how much weed he used, it's not like he has to eat a full stick of butter everyday.

    Thanks for the comment though.

    Theirs far better ways to benefit from the marvels of cannabis then soaking it in cholesterol laden butter! TRUTH!

    There's absolutely no debating that, but that's not what the thread is about hahah. Coconut oil is great for you, that's what I was use if I were going for health benefits but I was just trying to make the most of the situation that OP is in. Which isn't even a situation, cause his worked fine.

    Decarb and post more pictures! Bud looks dank as well! Nice.

    I started decarbing and never looked back, worth it. You can use Avb for anything tho its already decarbed. ::edit: that bud looked like it would make some prime butter

    let us know how the decarbed butter compares to the non decarbed butter.
