hey ronnie its just much easier to manage and strain when broken into smaller sized buds.
I know this is a very very old post way back in 2005 but I have to say, this is quite ingenious. I can't imagine I would have ever thought melting butter and Cannabis to make "Cannabutter" as you call it, and it sounds like the steps would be rather easy. Does anyone have any recommended best recipes for Marijuana that this would go well with?

I guess common sense says, if you cut the amount of butter used in half then the butter made will be twice as potent. Does that stand to reason or am I just baked?If your looking to make some special treats, Cannabutter is a vital ingredient. 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!

It will do it itself in the process of cooking it in the butter that's why it takes two to four hours to make butter but the real question is is how much hash or kief would you need for a half pound of butter I don't like using leaves

I have been making canna butter for about 10 yrs.. I started out on the stove, but a few years ago, I decided to try the crock pot method and absolutely love it.. Waking up to the aroma filling the house. .. My partner now makes rosin so we have leftover chips.. I couldn't let them go to waste.. So I figured why just toss them in the crock pot and see what we get.. I like to let my butter (I have recently started using coconut oil instead) do it's thing for about 8-12 hrs.. I'm not great at figuring dosage since most of the medicine has been squished out.. Since my partner has a high meds tolerance(3h discs), I have to aim high.. I pack about 10 .10g chips to about 2cups coconut oil.. In my small crockpot..
I'm lost.. Anyone want to help me guess what the dosage could be?... Your guess is as good as mine.. .️
He eats about 1-2 cookies n it knocks him out.. Any normal person I tell them to only eat a 1/4 of a . and wait 1-2 hrs before eating more ..

This is super well put together, better than most online recipes honestly. Awesome!If your looking to make some special treats, Cannabutter is a vital ingredient.

I have the MBM and it does deliver. I've made butter, gummies and tinctures with it. It's a great machine, but the cleaning cycle isn't the best.
I've been doing this a long time for my wife and friends with medicine needs
