How do you make your butter?

I always add an extra pound of butter to make up what I lose in the clarification.

I'm not an expert in this, and a lot of it is what I have heard from other patients and people that have more experience in this area than I do.
But in BC, you are allowed to "change" your prescription to a salve, tincture, butter, whatever form of ingestion you prefer. I have heard that is because people there fought for that right in court, and won.
I live in Ontario, and no one has fought for that right in court yet - so apparently it is still illegal.
I have NOT made my prescription MMJ into anything yet, because actually it's real good and I quite enjoy smoking it.
BUT I really really really like eating it. So I am sure I will find a way. Maybe I'll make a bunch of cookies, and then "they'll" arrest me, and then I can be that case that sets a precedent in Ontario.
I kinda hope not - because Court rooms freak me out. But I think I'd look real good crying on the stand because some meanie told me I can't bake delicious cookies...
bahahahahaha

I use the "double boil" teqnique, with bud/trim, and strain thru cheesecloth.
Double boil basically is water simering in one pot, with weed in another pot w/ butter.
The weed/butter pot needs to fit ontop of the water/simmer pot, and the heat of the water/steam, moves to the top pot slowly.
This way you can achieve a perfect temp for extraction of thc.
Also decarbing your bud first helps.

Basically the same except I have switched to Coconut oil... Because I'm healthy? lol nah. But It substitutes perfectly 1:1 coconut oil to butter.
One more exception. I don't grind any of it. If the pieces are to big I just cut it up with scissors a little bit and I only cook on low overnight. Also, I pour my water oil mixture into a container and pop it in the fridge over night. Then pull the puck out and scrape off the crude on the bottom.
This is after fridge and scrape:

Actually the taste is wonderful. My GF hates the taste of edibles and likes this stuff. I think over cooking and crushing plus grinding will taste more green then anything. I used to mash and trim and grind. Once I switched to a more gentler method we stopped getting so much "green flavor".
Also, the coconut oil is actually pleasant. We make chewy chocolate coconut cookies with it usually. I can post my method if you'd like.

This was from a January post. Also, I now only use 1 oz of trim, larf, etc per cup. Especially with the Green Crack. I'll have to find the post after we made this. Basically both of hearts felt like there were going to explode and then my legs shook for about 2 hours uncontrollably. If you follow this recipe please use caution as it may be very strong.
***Also another note*** I do not squeeze the material any more. This releases more "green flavor" then its worth. If the process was done correctly the coconut oil already has the THC dissolved inside it.

Ooooh I DIG your process..
And actually, if the oil was put in pill form, it would be pretty easy to keep the quantity down for people that don't yet have a tolerance for THC.
AWESOME!!!!
I just need some way to get the meds in my mom - WITHOUT her face melting.

I've tried them a couple of times. I really don't like them. At least the glycerin versions. The other option is an Alcohol tincture. I've made it once before with hash, but I didn't do a decarb and the bacardi 151 makes it sting really bad. For someone that doesn't smoke and has zero tolerance I would start with butter or coconut oil and very small doses. I actually really like your idea for pills. I am just not sure what a proper dose would be.
What ailments are you aiming to correct?
My aunt has MS and she loves the Lotion I made for her. I am not 100% that it was the salve alone that is helping her but she hasn't used a walker in about 2 weeks. She has used the salve everyday on her legs. It is very possible that this is a placebo affect or a combination of different things she is doing. But the fact remains that she feels better and confident enough to walk without the walker. The other thing is I was looking for a way to medicate without getting high. We both have day jobs and can't be stoned at work so I just took a stab at the salve and it seems to work. I have given it to a bunch of family members and they all love it.

you wont be disappointed
my avatar is of a QWET extraction fully evaporated
so it bugs me when I see people with green or black tincture
from there I do the hot oil bath decarb (250degrees)
and you can visibly watch the carboxyl group be removed by small fizzy C02 bubbles popping
when all the bubbles have ceased, it is fully decarbed
next step, add everclear, glycerine, or a lower proof alcohol and mix well
Everclear has a much higher absorbtion rate than glycerine so I normally use that

I make canna-ghee. I first take two pounds of salted butter and melt it, then, I filter the butter so that the foam is removed and a clear yellow liquid remains. Next, I take some trimmed buds and shake; about 1 oz dried/lb of ghee. Place ghee and buds in a large boil pot and add two cups of water. Allow this to come to a simmer, adding a cup of water every 45 mins or so. After 8 hours, or after I get bored, I pour the hot liquid into a bowl lined with a flour sack hand towel. I then slowly bring the towel together and strain the water and canna-ghee into a bowl that I leave in the refrigerator overnight. The next day I remove the canna-ghee from the water.

I am gonna have to have you walk me through this one day. Also, do you know how to break it down for measuring? Like I know my butter is almost 19 grams per 1/2 cup. I don't know how to gauge the extracts to bake or make candy with.

id be happy too!
im sure I could explain it much easier
19 grams of oil for a half cup sounds about right though
id use the same amount of QWET as you use BHO, kief or bubble hash
maybe a little less!
my last batch of coconut oil/ hash capsules
I put about 6 grams of QWET in a 1/4 of a cup of coconut oil
filling up about 80 capsules (size 0)
they came out pretty strong
2 at a time was almost to much for some people
