Why do people prefer to cook with schwag?

I often see people talking about cooking with schwag. Is there a reason why higher grade weed is not used? Or is it just that when people get schwag, and it's too harsh to smoke, they cook w/ it?

I prefer to smoke, or vaporize, my finely grown buds. I do all of my cooking using leaf.

HTH

its just cheaper to use schwag if your are buying weed for cooking. but if you are growing it...do what you want. better bud always = better high.

I use shwag, because i use buds, as i dont have leaves/trimmings, and so it costs less.

I dunno but the quality is only as good as the bud
Its the same with making hash oil or some bubble the quality will only be as good as the bud it comes from

i jus though people rather spend like 40$ a half instead of about 240$ for sum gud shit

ah... maybe because some schwag taste like shit... haha
and the very important factor of the price

No way im using my good stuff for butter lol! But I will use the leftovers off the good stuff for the butter....damn now im hungry.

Hippie legacy. Hippies have been using their leftovers for butter for ages. There's actually nothing to that, and people are finally starting to realize that you get out of a concoction what you put into it.

Nothing wrong with my leftover butter and besides what else are you going to do with the stuff? I guess there is always hash but shit I suck at hash...im standing by my schwag butter it is plenty good enough for me.

like some other people have said i mean better bud means better butter. some people think if you just do a higher bud to butter ratio w/ low grade weed it'll make up for it being crappy and make the butter stronger. I mean no doubt itll take LESS hi grade than low grade to get you high from a recipe but that obviously goes for smoking or cooking. IMOas far as low-grad e vs high-grade tree its pretty similar to smoking whereas, at least in my case, i can smoke a blunt of some lower-grade and get high, but if i smoked 3 blunts of that same tree i dont get much higher than i wouldve from just the first one. Same with high grade weed, i just get a much better high when i smoke that, but if i smoke a couple grams or a quarter in one sesh, i get about the same highness for that period of time/. I've cooked with both, i like to use better quality stuff wether it be smoking or coking, bc it get you higher and its a nicerhigh. but if i had a bag of schwag id prob cook most o fit, unless i hadnt smoke din long time or something. Sorry for the rantr, im ripped. but now im in the mood for some treats and when i get off work im goin home to make me some "nuggets". Its my concotion, i just make brownie mix with my cannabuter(wich is excellent) but instead of making it in a brownie pan and cuttin squares i make them in these miniature cupcake pans that i have. they are for making small cupcakes like prob a inch and half or so in diameter. sp i put m,y brownie mix in those and when im done i hjave seperate little ganja brownies and they're all the same size so i know exactly what dose im eatin. sorry for the rant.

o i mena i have used trimmings before too but it made weak butter

Chea for the record I have no problem with using leftovers for weed, I'm just saying the schwag for butter is a leftover thing from where most weed had only about 1 or 2 percent THC content.

Personally id rather use Trimmings from a pontent plant than use swag

You dont have to use the good stuff to make butter as long as the trims came from a good plant it will be better than mexican butter all day long

Using schwag for cooking is nuts. Using schwag for smoking is nuts too. Grow your own quality cannabis. Like many have said here ... you get what you pay for.

The growers of Mexican schwag don't really care about the end product. Its full of chemicals, insects, mold and piss. Not something I would want to smoke or eat, for sure.
