What's better??? Butter or Coconut oil

Well I have one week before my last holy grail kush is done, any real good suggestions as to what's better and more versatile to us??? Thanks in advance

Pros of butter......
Slightly cheaper

Pros coconut... higher fat content, solid at room temp (makes solidifying the oil water mix in the fridge much faster and easier), it hides the flavor of mj, its absorbed faster into the blood stream and it can be substituted in an oil or butter recipe dandily.....I'm sure I missed a few reasons to get coconut buy yea there aren't any reasons to use butter except the creaminess

It is very high in saturated fats though (not as healthy)

You cant go wrong if you choose the coconut oil. If you are a person who looks out for thier bodies health. Coconut oil would be the best choice. Concerns of the saturated fat content? Do not be. Coconut fats are the healthiest fats out there. Yes the content of saturated fat is high, it needs to be for protection of its self. The kind of fat(saturated fat) associated with coconut is a good fat. All fats. It contains the type of saturated fat that burns calories(fat calories), rather than clog up viens and arteries.

+++QUOTED FROM A WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!+++
[h=3]-"What Is Coconut Oil?[/h]Pure virgin coconut oil, containing no hydrogenation (the process of adding hydrogen to make a liquid fat hard), contains 92% saturated fat -- the highest amount of saturated fat of any fat.
Most saturated fats are solid at room temperature, found in animal products (such as meat, dairy, poultry with skin, and beef fat) and contain cholesterol. Unlike animal fats, tropical oils -- palm, palm kernel, and coconut oils -- are saturated fats that are called oils but depending on room temperature can be solid, semi-solid, or liquid, and do not contain cholesterol.
Like all fats, coconut oil is a blend of fatty acids. Coconut oil contains an unusual blend of short and medium chain fatty acids, primarily lauric (44%) and myristic (16.8%) acids. It is this unusual composition that may offer some health benefits.
Additionally, "because they come from coconuts, they may contain beneficial plant chemicals that have yet to be discovered," says Mozaffarian, researcher and co-director of the cardiovascular epidemiology program at Harvard.
As for calories, all fats have the same number of calories per gram. One tablespoon of coconut oils contains 117 calories, 14 grams fat, 12 g saturated fat, and no vitamins or minerals.
A pint of extra virgin coconut oils costs from $12-$18.


[h=3]Is Coconut Oil Better Than Other Fats and Oils?[/h]"Coconut oil is better than butter and trans fats but not as good as liquid vegetable oils," says Penn State University cardiovascular nutrition researcher Penny Kris-Etherton, PhD, RD.
Mozaffarian agrees that coconut oil is better than partially hydrogenated trans fats and possibly animal fats.
"But even though coconut oil is cholesterol-free, it is still a saturated fat that needs to be limited in the diet and if you are looking for real health benefits, switch from saturated fats to unsaturated fats by using vegetable oils like soybean, canola, corn, or olive oil," says Kris-Etherton, a member of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines advisory committee and Institute of Medicine's panel on dietary reference intakes for macronutrients (which include fats)."-

Better website.............(or websites)

"Many health organizations advise against the consumption of high amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat, including the United States Food and Drug Administration, [2] World Health Organization, [3] International College of Nutrition, [4] the United States Department of Health and Human Services, [5] American Dietetic Association, [6]
American Heart Association, [7] British National Health[8][9]"



I made a funny

They want us to be unhealthy - United States Food and Drug Administration - that way we pay their buddy's to heal us when we get cancer.

From my experience the coconut oil always comes out better than butter as far as potency. I use a few tablespoons of soy lecithin when I make oil too because it seems to really help your body absorb the target chemical better. In short, my butter usually sucks compared to my coconut oil even when I add more herb in an attempt to make the butter more potent.

I've never thought about using coconut butter before. Any good recipes?

I favor coconut oil not because it is tasty but also because it is versatile.

The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, cholesterol level maintenance, weight loss, boosted immune system, proper digestion and regulated metabolism. It also provides relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV, and cancer, while helping to improve dental quality and bone strength. These benefits of oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and their respective properties, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-fungal, antibacterial and soothing qualities.Coconut oil is used extensively in tropical countries especially India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Philippines etc., which have a good production of coconut oil. At one time, the oil was also popular in western countries like the United States and Canada, but there was a strong propaganda campaign in the 1970s spread by the corn oil and soy oil industry against coconut oil. Coconut oil was considered harmful for the human body due to its high saturated fat content until the last decade (2000s) when people began to question the claims of the propaganda. Next, let’s look into some more details of how coconut oil works in our body.

Can you just substitute it in recipes that call for butter? I cook with coconut oil all the time and use it as a hair mask sometimes but never thought about using it instead of butter for cannabutter.

Yup...I like making little pastries with it over traditional brownies

Anyway my point is you fan get moist cake or flaky crust etc it does have a lower melting point and chefs I'm sure are aware of the problems that come with that.....I'm no chef and its not as fluffy but I've successfully made many recipes with it

But yes they can be interchanged...easier in recipes that call for soft butter...just chill it though and it doesn't matter

Coconut oil if it were me. Its healthier than butter, more versatile, and has a high smoke point (No burning). You can use it to sneak mj into things without its overpowering flavor.
