Cannabutter disappointment

No need to decarb if you slow cook it for 24 hours in a crock.
I ate 2 mj caramels yesterday afternoon and im still buzzed this morning.
Not getting much done lol

High on caramels again lol...poor me lol
Ate 4 and listening to some old Rush.

Butter like this: 2 1/2 oz of bud to 8 sticks of butter. Fill a pot of water half way full, melt butter in water, add bud, simmer for 4-6 hours. Strain butter into dish and refrigerate. Replace butter in receipes with Canna-butter. Enjoy!!

Use hash oil for candy . . . So easy!!!

I do know that some folks respond to cannabanoids more efficiently than others. Both my wife and I have to make super strong oil to get the same results someone else gets with something a lot weaker. I personally can smoke the stuff all day long and feel absolutely nothing from it. Another thing that helps strengthen the effect is adding liquid lecithin to the mix. It may or may not have been much of anything wrong in the process. It may just be your metabolism.

With all honesty, if you can smoke it all day long without feeling shit from it . . . It has been made from low potency weed.

You are completely wrong here. If the buds were no good, infused oil from the buds would not work either. I have been doing this along time. Friends come over, smoke my weed and rant and rave over how potent it is. There is nothing wrong with the weed.

I must be missing something here . . . You can " personally smoke it all day long and feel nothing from it"?

Have you built up a tolerance?

time for a new strain that has a different chemical makeup that hits your receptors in another way ?

You say new cannabis technology, I think you mean profit. Shilling your own products on here is never gonna come off as anything such. Nobody had mentioned any sort of gadgets until you did, who also happens to be a paid advertiser. What a coincidence...

Hey there, thanks for your reply!

The product mentioned was developed by MCR Labs, otherwise known as Massachusetts Cannabis Research & Testing.

We have 0 affiliation with them and we do not own the company, unfortunately. Wouldn't that be cool though!

Let us know if you have any other questions, we're here to help.

We do coconut oil instead of butter, but other than that, this may be relevant. We decarb in the oven. 55 minutes at 225F. Then into the crock pot with the oil for 4-5 hours. Last batch we did 9 ounces of old bud and trim into 16 ounces of oil. I used to use 1.75 ounces of that per cake or bread mix, but since I like eating more cake or bread, I've cut that back to one ounce per.

Makes the math easier too. 9/16 = .5625/16 = .03515625 X 28.35 = 0.9966796875

So just over half an ounce per cake mix. Cut that cake into 16 equal {sure} pieces and each piece would be the equivalent of a gram. I smoke so little, I've actually been cutting those in half unless I'm hiking and/or away from folks.

So, does it make sense to coock this butter one more time with more buds? Or is it better to make another butch of cannabutter but stronger and use this one for coockies/brownies?

Was that your first butter attempt? How did you squeeze or extract the butter from the cooked soaked ganja. My friend uses cheesecloth. I find I can get more return with a stronger material. Tee shirt material is what I use.

I used to make cookies but got to many people scary high that I stopped. I can eat them all day with very little effect while the 300 lb guy next to me is ready to go to the hospital. Over potent butter can ruin a non or light smokers day big time.

Yep. My buddy who made the Ass Cheese and Gorille de Raisin strains sent me a couple of cookies, and he warned me to only eat a half the first time, and to wait at least an hour before smoking anything. I only ate a half, but I didn't wait an hour before smoking. I didn't think I would ever come down. I would rather have to eat two than to have one be too much.

Yeh, my friend ate a quarter of what I had and feeled more wasted then I.

Some of the people I over dosed won't even smoke it anymore they were so freaked out. Leaving the airport from Denver Colorado there's a billboard sign that says don't let a $10 cookie ruin your vacation.lol Dude that wanted to go to the hospital said time stood still, felt like he was being pulled to the ground, couldn't stop thinking about dieing and that he would never come down. I did the same to many including my xwife. She said she felt like she was trippen on acid. I just laughed and said well just like acid your in it to win it, no turning back now. I know another guy that ate some brownies that he didn't know where marijuana brownies and he ate a bunch. Couldn't stay awake for 3 days

Hello, every one!

So, I just made a batch of cannabutter and was disappointed. I used 25g of popcorn buds and 500g of butter. I put butter in a jar, and jar — in to boiling water. When butter had melted I added buds and cooked the mix for around 6 hours steering it eventually.

When all was done and butter cooled down, I decided to test it and ate 1 tea spoon of butter with cookie and had no effect at all! Next day I tried a table spoon already, with the same results.

What had I done wrong (if anything)? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

The essential oils have a nasty habit of mixing very uneven unless one uses something like lecithin....Also, you seemed to have skipped adding water to your butter while it boils. The nastier green stuff separates into the water as the butter part solidifies. I bought two oven thermometers, I put them in then adjust the oven until it stays at approximately 100 to105C.... Then stick the weed in. No fancy tools needed.

I guarantee you there are people who do not get high or don't get high smoking but do fine with infused oil. That us true if every strain. It is an odd thing but some people are that way. People who smoke the weed I grow, that I have been growing for over 10 years get plenty high. Over time, I have come not to care. Taking infused oil is fine. It is great. It just takes a minimum of 45 minutes to be effective. I have no explanation. That is just the way it is.

Surprisingly no, not with oil. I don't get high with anyone's weed smoking it. I am not looking for sympathy though. For me infused oil is my preference anyway. One reason I take cannabis oil is if there is any tolerance, it is not not noticeable. So, as a medicine it works as well on the 1000th day as it does on the 1st.

One thing that has changed over time, is that I have been conditioned over time so that I can go about life in a normal way, even being under the influence.

Another thing that has changed is that my health has improved dramatically since using oil.
