| | use oil | | Try using the betty crocker mix. It calls for oil. Just grind up the bud and put it in the oil. Let simmer for about 20mins making sure not to boil/burn the weed. Then just strain off the oil and use it [the oil] in the mix. A quarter ounce of middies should do it.
peace |

Making oil in this way is very dangerous. Oil doesn't boil at low temperatures. The smoke point of whatever oil you are intending to use (probably canola or some similar cooking oil) is at least 400F. That is way too hot. The THC would vaporize out into your kitchen, and you would be left with worthless oil. If you do use this method, please use a double boiler. Otherwise, there is a thin line between where the THC will dissolve into the fat and where it will burn. Well, the line isn't technically that thin, but on a hot stove, you are screwed before you know it.

| | Oh, and also, do yourself a favor and just make butter. If you just grind the weed into the mix, it will get you high, but it will not be a fraction as pleasant, especially when you can't get the plant matter out of your teeth.

| | Make canna butter , 1/2 lb of butter, 1/4 of buds or an ounce of leaves, puree it , if u dont have ablender just crush it till it real fine dice, 1/4 cup of sugar and 3 oz of oil , plus 1/2 cup water, mix all together and bring to a boil , lower the heat and let simmer for an hour or two the longer the better , keep crushing the buds or leaves every 20 mins to incorporate the thc into the fat . after its done strain it into a bowl and allow an hour refridgeration time , when you take it out the oil and water will have risen too the top while the cannabutter will be solid , get rid of the water and oil throw it away , THC is not water soliable so it wont matter to pour out , the left over is canna butter , mix this in with ur brownies and youlll be high as fu*k , make sure not to burn the cannabis because this will destroy ur thc .. |

I have always simmered the butter over a double boiler, and continue to do so. However, I like the addition of oil here. I suppose it helps put a layer of fat between the butter and the water when it separates. My question is: Why would you put sugar in it? As someone who is fairly serious about cooking, I like to keep my ingredients separate, and I have made many things with cannabutter that were not desserts. Do you know if the sugar serves a purpose? It seems like it would just dissolve in the water, and make everything sticky.

| | In my experience adding sugar directly helps in depleating the taste of the pot and would ultimately reduce the amount of sugar needed in a brownie mix, also by dissoliving it and cooking it will create a better flavor profile in the end because it has been boiled allowing for the flavor to reach its best. I take my cooking very seriously as well and I am a chef so I love to experiment haha, I have experimented alot and have found for some reason adding sugar helps dissapte the THC and emulsify it into the Butter , no clue why but your were dead on with your assumption of the oil .  |
