Turning about 55-60 grams of volcano dreggs into butter? +rep

Okay, so I have like 36-37 grams of volcano dregs, still some potency in it, when I smoke it I actually get high...

My boy has like 20-30 grams of dregs also, not sure how much potency he leaves in his dregs though.

We want to make some cannabutter, and then make some brownies or cookies...


Now I have read a few articles on cannabutter, but have never actually MADE it, and I really don't wanna fuck this up so that's why I posted here...


They say like 1 and 1/4 a stick of butter for like 7g... How much should I be using for like 60g of material? I'm down to make straight space cakes, I don't need a lot of quantity.

What kind of problems do you think I'm going to run into with 60g of vaped bud?

How long should I simmer, and how hot? Do you guys think there will be a chance of it burning at the bottom?



Last thing, are there any methods of refinement, to clean the taste up a bit? We are talkin vaped bud here :P


The 35g I have is in an extremely compressed space in a baggie, about 4in tall, 4in wide, and about 2in deep.

Thanks all, I'm trying to do this for 4/20 so I need it done by like monday night at the latest :hug:

+rep for help

That will involve a little bit of maths unfortunately :( once u have the ratio of weed - butter , you will need to work out how much butter to add to your mix . if tht makes sense :S

Should I just consider it like "commercial" or schwag from that video and use that ratio?

Cause they will be some really impotent brownies if I have to use a lot of butter

If you didnt know what volcano dregs (what I'm using in the butter) is it's basically whats left after vaporizing your bud in a Volcano Vaporizer... it has SOME THC left in it but not a whole lot

WHEN YOU SMOKE IT IS IT FELL LIKE SMOKING SCWAG, REGS... YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE THE POTENCY UNLESS YOU WANT TO COME HERE AND SMOKE ME OUT. i DONT HAVE A VAP SO I COULDNT TELL YOU BUT LIKE I SAID YOUR THE JUDGE. ILL JUST GO OUT ON A LIMB AND SAY USE 1 OZ OF DREGS TO ONE STICK OF BUTTER BUT I CANT BE SURE SO DONT GET MAD IF IT DONT WORK.

lol you gotta turn off caps lock dude





Would it even be possible to use all 60g for one stick of butter? Or is that too much material for a stick?

Am I going to have water in there with the butter or no?

get a crock pot





fill with water, let simmer


add 1 to 2 to 3 sticks of butter to crock pot, simmer -- add vapped bud


let cook for atleast 24 hours on low heat.


strain, and let cool in large plastic/glass container in fridge.


butter will collect on top, collect and cool. dispose of nasty water (underneath the solid butter)


add to brownie mix


will taste like shit considering it's all brown and partly cooked

I got a shitty white $10 walmart crock pot

I just threw a stick and a quarter of land-o-lakes into the crock pot with like 2.75 cups of water..


Ended up weighing like 62g of vaped herb, Ill post some pics tomorrow.

Going to cook on high for an hour, then on low for like 14 hours or so.

oh man bro . . . you shouldn't have added more butter....

it's already hella diluted.

to concentrate plant matter into butter, boil it with water. then you strain it and put it in the fridge and the block of butter will solidify at the top . . .

I wrote up information on the ratio's of bud to butter yesterday . . .

poplars said:
butter can absorb a 5:1 ratio of grams of cannabinoids to grams of butter.

and since cannabinoids generally make up 10-15% of plant matter, or less, that means you can have possibly up to 12 oz or more of bud into ONE stick of butter.

so you could have made it even stronger than you experienced.

in fact, you can make it so strong that if you bonded it with a lotion of some sort, you could probably wipe a pea sized bit into your arm and get high as fuck like you smoked a joint ;).

edibles are definitely where it's at, but they take a LOT of bud or trim.

if you're using kief or hash, I highly suggest taking a shot glass, with a normal pan, fill it with water, get a ceramic tile and put it on the bottom of the pan under the water, then put the shot glass on top of it. you now have a boiling water bath.

put a tiny bit of butter in the shot glass, only enough to fill 2-3 gelatin capsules. drop the hash, hash oil, or kief (if you're using kief I suggest you use a LOT,and I mean a LOT, I used so much and it hardly worked.) and allow this to boil for 25-40 mins.

then put the shot glass in the freezer, and after the butter solidifies put it in the gelatin capsules, and voila, you have cannabutter pills that will get you ridiculously high if you take them all at once ;).

Well it was only a stick and a half, I figured wed loose some in the process, and it wasnt really mixing well with the 63g and a stick and a quarter....


I just strained it like an hour ago... Going to give it like 4 hours to cool off

Dont rely on this guys ratio nothing against him all the science is there and blah blah.
I use about an 8th of good bud per 1/4 cup of butter so like per half stick.
and anything i end up making with it fucks people up good and proper.
so if your dreg is at least a little bit potent. 63g's in a lil over a stick will be plenty to get ya fucked up.
hope you had a good 420

er sorry about my ratio shit up there.

the ratio I actually heard was for bud to butter, because bud is about 15% cannabinoid material, you'd need a larger ratio like 5:1.

anyways, I"m still trying to establish how much butter can actually hold, but the amount mcgyversmoke said sounds good. I just like to know /exactly/ how much I can put into butter.

An update on this:


Sorry it took so long I had to do a little googling to find this thread...

It solidified in like 3 hours, and it was a very very dark hemp green color...

We used the ghiradelli (sp.) chocolate brownie mix, it was like a buck more but I thought the rich chocolate would go well...


It actually tasted very good! A mix of that dry vaped herb smell, and RICH RICH chocolate brownies. but ohhh man did that shit STINK when you opened the door... we looked in the crock pot and it was just a black muck boiling... smelled rancid when it was hot but smelled like regular vaped herb when it cooled down.


As for the effects, god damn... I was blitzed for like 5 hours, and hallucinating when I closed my eyes... some of the chillest hallucinations ever.

I think we have some left :P my friend ended up cutting 12 pieces with the stick and a quarter of butter

Yeah dude just leave some potency in there ;)

I think the vaped bud my friend had was pretty low in potentcy though id use like 45g for some decent chill out brownies and then like 65g-70g for a really heavy stone...



Thats the mix I used, I just melted some butter in a metal pan, mixed the mix in there with it, and then put it into a glass pan and into the oven
