    Default I think I may have finally made cannabutter that doesn't suck

    Usually my cannabutter looks like butter that has cannabis in it...and it does nothing...you can eat a whole batch of cookies, or just a stick of the butter and you get very little effect, and let's face it, cannabis isn't that tasty if you can taste it the way I am talking about in cooking...anyway even if you suffer through the cookies or brownies, or muffins, or whatever I have made, they taste like shit, and don't give you any buzz at all. But this time I made some cannabutter, and it looks totally different, and doesn't smell as weedy as normal..it is also smoother, as in it just wouldn't set hard...It was hard enough to collect, but still totally moldable, unlike real butter...I don't know if it has any effect yet, but am hoping to find out soon. Trying to just get some something started...lol

    I cooked it for about an hour or so, on a rather low temp with the lid on...
    Before I have cooked it much much longer, and it has ended poorly...I just keep trying people's recipes, and it ends up not good...

    I just finished making some cookies, that don't taste too bad...as long as you get a bite with a chocolate chip or a raisin..the plain old cookie parts taste like they were made with pot...but overall the cookies are good, so that is an improvement...So...Imma finish these 2, and then see how I feel and I will report back as to whether I have got it or not...

    I usually don't let the temp get over 180ºF when I make butter but I slow simmer it for 12 hrs. I don't get the strong earthy taste in the butter after it's done.

    makes sense. since THCA changes to THC around those temps. if it isnt that high wouldnt only the THCA be absorbed? you could always decarb the weed before making butter. than you can cook it at a lower temp..

    and this is the answer to all the bad oil recipes


    not saying your was.. but.. there is a heat and time pref for making oil

    you can make oil in 30 days add pot to olive oil and walk away

    or cook it.. at 180-225 for xxx mins..


    the longer cook time means nothing to me.. cooked at all the times said 4-6-8-12-24 no diff..

    my crockpot gets to 250 and I cook for 4 hours .. works like a 8-12-24 etc cook

    did they work in the end?
    Also did you clarify the butter to remove milk solids? My last batch I used ghee and it worked really well.

    another thing to keep in mind is people seem to react differently to edibles. From a single batch I've seen someone eat twice as much as someone else and not be high at all, at the same time seen someone eat half as much and react badly, getting ill and nauseous ...

    Well they seem to work...I never seem to finish a cookie...I get 3/4 done and forget...lol. I dont' like the weedy taste that I still taste...so it takes me a while to eat them...

    What is this clarifying you speak of? I want to do that next time...you are not the first person to tell me that it would help me out a bunch. So...do tell.
