How To Make
Cannabutter
Cannabutter
Items Needed:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup quality medical marijuana trim/bud
2 cups water
2 sauce pans
Cheesecloth
Bring the water to a boil in a stainless steel sauce pan,
then add the unsalted butter. Turn the boil down to a simmer
and add the medical marijuana.
Simmer the mixture for three to four hours and add more hot
water when needed. Make sure not to let the water get to low
and the amount of water isn't extremely important. If you
use a large sauce pan just use more water. |
Some people boil their cannabutter for less than three hours
but we find that we get better results when we boil for at
least three hours.
What happens is that the butter being an oil absorbs THC
from the resin glands on the medical marijuana. Other
cannabinoids also accumulate in the butter. If you have a
vaporizer you can even add your "carbolized" or used medical
marijuana to the mix. This may help with those who have
neurological problems or need strong pain medicine.
After the mix simmers for at least three hours place
cheesecloth over a large bowl and pour the mix through the
cheesecloth. Have somebody hold the cheesecloth tight or use
a large rubber band to hold it on the bowl. This will
separate the trim from the butter. It's good to run some
pure hot water through the cheesecloth to remove any butter
that may be caught up in the cloth. You can simmer a pan of
water on the side just before you filter off the marijuana
from the butter.

Remove the cheese cloth and
put the bowl of cannabutter mix in your refrigerator or
freezer to cool down faster. (If you use your freezer be
careful not to let the water freeze.) The cannabutter will
separate from the water and float on the top of the water.
When the cannabutter cools down it will harden.
Don't heat medical marijuana
beyond 300 degrees when making butters or oils because it
degrades the THC which weakens it's strength.
Once the cannabutter hardens it will cover the top of the
bowl. Now you simply poke a hole on the side of the
cannabutter and slowly drain off the water that's below the
cannabutter.
Cannabutter will last about 1
week in the refrigerator. You can freeze it and get a month
or more out if it that way. You can also use this same
method to make canna oil by using olive oil and other cooking
oils.
Use your cannabutter in any
recipe that calls for butter. You can also cut it with
regular butter if it is too strong etc. |
