The process of making cannabutter is basically just melting butter with marijuana, Straining the marijuana And then re-solidifying the butter. This works because THC (the chemical in marijuana that gets you "high") sticks to the fat cells in butter. Cannabutter can be used in any recipe that calls for butter or oil.

In this thread I will attempt to teach those who don't know how to make Cannabutter, how to do so. The pictures may help a little but in the end it's the text that will help you most.

You will need,

1.) A large saucepan

2.) A stir spoon

3.) Sticks Of Butter (Its about 1lb. of butter to every ounce of weed so make sure you do the math).

4.20) Marijuana

5.) Cheesecloth, and some elastics

6.) A couple tupperware containers with lids


Step 1.

Bring a few cups of water to a boil on the stovetop, it doesn't really matter how much water you use because in the end it will all be seperated, Just make sure the marijuana is always floating about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the pan.


Step 2.

When the water is at a boil place the butter in the pan, again it's about 1lb. of butter, 4 sticks, to every ounce of marijuana, so if your using a half ounce of bud thats about 2 sticks of butter. Be sure not to let the butter burn, if it appears to be burning then let melt on a medium setting.

Move the dial to low heat once butter has melted, it should look like this



Step 3.

Now that the butter has melted you can now add the marijuana, Here I used about 5 grams of fresh nug and about 7 grams of vaped bud. Again make sure the stove is now on a low setting.


Stir occasionally, I tend to stir every time the mix starts bubbling.
I usually let the bud simmer for 3 hours, But you can always tell it's done when the top of the mix turns from a really watery consistency to glossy and thick.


Step 4.

While letting the mix simmer, You are now going to need to get the cheesecloth strainer ready, which will also be used to store the cannabutter.

Take two sheets of cheese cloth and fold each one over so they each have two layers, place these over a tupperware container (with the lid off), and secure them there with elastics.

It shoud look like this, I say to make two just incase one container runs out of room.



Step 5.

When the water has turned glossy and thick on top it should look like this


You are now ready to strain the marijuana out of the mix, place your tupperware containers with the cheesecloth lids in the sink and slowly pour the entire mix on top of the cheesecloth like pictured here,


When the saucepan is empty carefully undo the elastic, pick up the cheesecloth from all four sides and squeeze all of the remaining butter out,


I throw away the marijuana after this, you can try and dry it out, let me know what happens.


Step 6.


Now place the lid on the tupperware and place it in the fridge to sit overnight, You need to do this so the water can seperare from the cannabutter, be patient.


Step 7.

Now that you have awakened in anticipation for your new treat, its time to seperate the waste water!

It should look like this now, The cannabutter on top, the waste water on bottom.


Take the lid off the tuperware and hold it upside down over the sink, place a dish in the sink to catch any cannabutter that may fall, squeeze two sides of the tupperware and the waste water will pour out, once all the water is gone your done! The cannabutter is ready to cook with.



If you do not wish to cook with it now, you can just place it back in the tupperware, place the lid back on and store it in the fridge.

And be careful, the high from eating "special edibles" is often considered much more intense then inhaling, lasting anywhere from 2-8 hours. Do not attempt to eat too many at first. And I wouldn't recommend driving. Just chill out, and enjoy!

Thanks for the receipe Hash!

I know of someone who gives away cannabis for free to patients with multiple sclerosis, and they'd sure be pleased to get this.

Some quick questions:
- Would this work as fine if someone would use hashish instead of grass?
- What would a 'recommended' ratio between butter and hash be then?
- Would eating cannabutter work better than just swallowing the hash (e.g. in gelatine capsules)

I am not kidding about the MS patients. So answers are appreciated.

PS. Hash, some of the pictures don't show. Could you upload them again?

Yes

3.) Sticks Of Butter (Its about 1lb. of butter to every ounce of weed so make sure you do the math).

I'd start with an 8th/3.7 grams and work up from there.

Depends on how the hash was made,
if it wasn't heated(300 - 350 degrees) then it will not work very well.
raw thc/trichromes have to be heated/vaporized to turn to Delta-9

[berryMcockner]

thanks for the info. smells worse then the fuckin movie theater popcorn butter! but damit it works!!!!!!!!

[b004u]

I have some questions about this .

1. How many sticks of butter for using an " Eighth " of Marijuana ?

2. Will Cannabutter smell after step 7?

[Frog]

a stick, if that

yes

[KushKartel]

i don't know about everyone else, but I'm from So-Cal...aka Slo-Cal...really wanna fux wit your friends? We use a pound of nugg(or bottom of the bag), with 1lb of butter. Pound for pound heavy hittaz....try it...props everyone...b.LA.ze it....

-b.LA.ze

[Drummingstar1]

thanks, Hash. I never knew how it was done. Now it all makes sense....
will try it with my clippings.

[MizzBrown3y3z]

so i can use that butter for partecly anythin?> wat flavor does it have?

[grtghanjadude]

Here's a tip...instead of placing it in the refrigerator, put it in the freezer...the water will freeze under the cannabutter, then all you have to do is scrape the cannabutter off the ice.

Just a note, I may do things different since I'm a grower and have more to work with, but I use my trimmings to make hash, and after I run the trimmings twice, I use the trimmings to make butter. I usually make 2 lbs of butter at a time and use about a pound of trimmings. Since the cannabis has been rinsed twice thoroughly before being cooked, it never tastes "dirty", and the butter isn't quite as green. Another differnce is I only simmer mine for 30 minutes max. I recieve regular praise for the potency and delicious cookies I make. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[HazeSeeker]

what else can I make with this butter(EX. cookies and brownies) ... maybe some eggs on butter or what ?

[CanbisMxmus]

I use my butter in lot's of things, maybe try to make some garlic toast, I have sauteed mushrooms and onions for my steak in green butter. Be creative, you never know what you might come up with. I even made a ganja cake with ganja frosting. Happy dining!
