CannaButter In 7 Easy Steps!

Edibles effect everyone differently. Your liver may be processing all the good stuff out....try a heavier dose for an edible. Most places offer 1x, 2x, and 3x strength...the worst that could happen is you fall asleep and miss the buzz.
I've never eaten any commercial edibles, only the brownies I made with my own homemade butter. They were really strong, both taste and smell. My son told me he could smell the MJ on my breath when I had finished eating it. Like I said earlier, my buzz when eating is never as good as smoking. I think I'll try chocolate covered something next time. If I still don't like it as well, I'll just leave the medibles to the chefs and those who like it that way.
Have you ever tried a vape? I haven't, but some here say it's the best buzz ever.

yea i have a vape and i like it, except for the fact that u have to grind up a pretty good amount to even use the thing. see this is whats weird; i dont have a huge tolerance for smoking. 2 or 3 hits and im usually good. but with the edibles apparently i have some kind of huge tolerance. ???

si colo en espanol...vivo en federal y hampden...!muchos hogares para tacos, pupusa, burritos buenos! but im actually born and raised cali so i already speak spanglish from that...anyway yes i was told and have since discovered that a small brownie and maybe one or two good hits an hour later and its mucho mucho. but im trying to find a way where i dont need to smoke if i cant, tu sabes jefe? i do notice that im not really high from the med. size brownie i ate a couple hours ago, but im not nauseous in the least and no headache at all so i guess thats cool. just medicated, not really stoned which is kind of what im going for here with the edibles. if i just want to chill out or get buzzed i will just smoke a bowl.

Hey i just skimmed the thread so sorry if I missed this. When using this recipe during the 3 hour simmering do you keep a lid on between checking or not? Is there any difference with the lid on vs off? Thanks
When I made my butter I didn't use a lid. I don't think Hash's original post said anything about a lid either. I just sat right there the whole time and stirred it when it started to bubble. I kept it at a very low simmer kinda like a thick soup.

Thanks so much thats what I was looking for *.*
Did you read the original post? Great instructions and pictures. Go all the way back and look at page #1, post #1, by Hash. This was the first time I've made butter. It turned out really good. He gave great instructions.

I used a lid with my crock pot, but then I simmered for 12 hours instead of three, and I was afraid I'd evap the water over night and burn the butter....
thanks for the great steps, works a treat.
just one question, i've read the first 10 pages, and am still wondering, is there no goodness in the water at all?

I wondered the same thing...But once you see the water, you'll know why nobody(that I know of) uses it. It's pretty icky....Besides, I believe that probably 90-99% of the goodness is bound to the butter at that point anyway, I dont think too much, if any gets wasted.

Quick question: Each time I made the brownies i cooked the butter and weed for 20 minutes . Is that long enough ? Because I noticed they aren't as potent as they are supposed to be ... but still get you pretty high . I kept forgetting that Hash mentioned to let it simmer for a while , does it make that much of a difference ?
Hey guys. I have a similar question to Branson. I've made about 10 dozen brownies over the past few months, as well as some weed tea/bhang.
My results change from batch to batch, even though the ingredients stay the same. I haven't been able to figure out why some brownies will have full potency, but others will be at 40%-50% of what I'd expect.
I made bhang with 3.5 grams of ground bud (warmed up milk, added about two ounces of alcohol, then stirred all together on the stove at a low simmer). I originally made two separate cups, but ended up drinking both. No effect. Other times, 2 grams of bud will be more than enough.
Has anyone noticed differing results when the same recipe is made twice?
I know the obvious answers... THC is not water soluble, maybe there wasn't available fats or alcohols, or it wasn't mixed well at the right temperature... but I've got to say - the cream and alcohol were there, the temperature was maintained at a simmer for half an hour...
I'm confused
Haha.

it's brown, but i can't think why there'd be anything bad in it. it looks like it could use it to make gravy for a good sunday lunch!
