        That would solve the problem about not getting high, but cannabutter still tastes pretty bad. That’s why it’s usually hidden in baked goods with stronger flavors like chocolate.

          Not really, if you do it properly there is almost 0 taste difference.

          After infusing the butter and filtering it through a cheesecloth or coffee filter you have to put it in a pot of boiling water, use at least 5 times more water than cannabutter. Stir it thoroughly for a few minutes, then let it first cool down to room temperature and then put it in the fridge. Since THC is only soluble in fat but not water it will stay inside the butter, but much of the plant material like chlorophyll is water soluble and will get dissolved in the water during this process. In the fridge the butter will solidify on top of the water and you can remove it from the water to have your clarified butter that tastes almost like regular butter

          Mine is delicious, but it’s the only one I’ve ever tasted. Maybe I’m weird, maybe I’m some kind of culinary prodigy.

    it needs to be heated to a certain degree to activate the THC. and i think it’s supposed to go into a lipid

      It doesn’t need to go into a lipid. You can just put like an eighth of weed into some tinfoil in the oven, bake it and then throw it into a coffee grinder and stir it into chocolate.

      Chocolate will get you totally toasted, but your shit will smell like weed the next day.

          Or pour it on your tongue and wash it down with water, up to you. You don’t need anything else, but it’s going to be hard to choke down without mixing it in something.

            1. I just thought it was funny that you claimed that you don’t need to mix weed with fat, then immediately suggested a recipe mixing weed with fat

            2. Trying to eat weed without mixing it with a fat would be not only unpleasant flavor-wise, it would be a huge waste of weed. The compounds in weed that get you high are much more bioavailable when they’re in the presence of fats. So, loosely speaking, you kinda do need to mix it with fat if you’re gonna eat it, unless you’re okay with large amounts of wasted weed and money

        The overuse of the word shit made me take a second to realise you meant actual shit and you weren’t saying that your oven and house in general will somehow start smelling more weed-like after a 24 hour period post bake.

          I am wondering about distillates/concentrates, personally. Many of them are edible as is, as they got decarboxylated during extraction using a hot method instead of a cold one. Do they have any fats in them? You don’t need to put them in something with fat; you can put it in tea or just eat the goo by itself (it’s kinda gross but you can do it and get high). I’ve made live resin myself a few times using a hot press, and I did not add anything extra to have decent smokable stuff, but I never tried to eat it and I don’t know if the shit you get at a dispensary in a cart or glass tin is just the pure goo from the plant any nothing else, or if they mix it with stuff.

        Cool, yeah, that makes sense. I guess that’s why AVB works too (eating the leftover buds after vaping). Gotta be careful with it though cuz the dosage can really be a wide range.

      Your correct, that’s why if you wanna make weed food, you just make weed butter and use it where you want.

      fry egg in butter

      sear steak in butter

      butter in coffee

      blt w/ bacon cooked in butter, or buttered toast as bread, or both

      you could use other lipids like oils as well, or w/e vegan lipid as to not use an animal product, but its super easy to use butter anywhere

      endless options

        First time I ever ate weed a friend of mine took my birthday nuggs and ground them up and put the weed in a pan with some butter then drained it in to a shot glass with honey and gave it a little nuke to soften everything up. Considering how makeshift it was and the gross little bits of leaf getting caught in your mouth it was surprisingly good, the actual weed component of it made the whole thing taste a little like crunchy nut cereal with an oddly herbaceous element to it. Having seen how you’re supposed to make weed butter properly in the time since, it’s surprising that this worked so well but my god I was high as a kite, it was amazing. Don’t know if, given the pretty brief time spent on heat with the butter, maybe it was necessary to actually eat the weed itself rather than strain it, wouldn’t recommend that if can be avoided but then again this was all ready in under 10 minutes.

          As far as im aware the leaf floating around does nothing, any thc inside of it cant be digested properly as it hasnt combined with a lipid, but im also not a weed smoker so im the least qualified to talk on this, shit gives me anxiety lol

      I’ve never had any success making edibles out of flower. It always comes out too weak, even if I follow the decarb instructions perfectly.

      It’s much easier to just mix some distillate into whatever you want to turn into an edible. No cooking needed, just mix in and enjoy. I like to mix in some distillate with Everclear and then water it down with vodka to make it drinkable. Gets you stupid stoned stupid quick.

    Just go to your local dispensary and spend $10 for a nice piece of candy.

        Now I want McDonald’s for breakfast.

        Thanks. I don’t have one available on my drive to work so I’m going to be thinking about this all day now.

        I hope you’re happy.

            You guys lost all-day breakfast? We still have it in Canada. Limited menu, but it has most things, the only thing that comes to mind that they don’t serve all day is hash browns

    Just do this 🤙

    Gummies
    
    	1.	Place 1 cup cannabis in a ball jar with lid finger tight
    	2.	Add 2 cups water to pressure cooker
    	3.	Place interface between glass jar and metal of pressure cooker.
    	4.	Use “Manual” button and set to high pressure for 40 minutes
    	5.	Let pressure naturally release
    	6.	Add 1 cup of fat (coconut oil, butter, avocado oil etc) to jar with cannabis
    	7.	Place back in pressure cooker as before- Manual, high, 40 mins
    	8.	Let pressure naturally release
    	9.	Strain out cannabis. I have used various methods but I believe using a French press (for coffee) is the simplest and cleanest
    
    This fat can now be consumed and will get you high
    
    Gummies recipe 
    I use refined coconut oil for the extraction for this recipe
    
    In a small pot, combine
    -1/2 cup cold water
    -2 tablespoons of cannabis infused coconut oil
    -6 tablespoons regular coconut oil 
    -1/4 teaspoon soy lecithin powder (this is necessary as it allows oil and water to mix; also helps absorption of THC into the body. 
    Heat on LOW heat. Mixture can not boil
    Slowly add:
    -3oz (small) pack of jell-o
    -3 envelopes of Knox gelatin
    Mix/stir by hand for 10 minutes
    
    Pour into mold or nonstick pan and let set in freezer for 20-30 mins 
    
    Remove from mold, consume, and blast off.

    I just make warm chocolate milk, let the weed stay in there for a bit while heating up, then strain and enjoy. I quite like the grassy undertone in the milk.

      Yes my friend made this once and it was the most disgusting thing ever.
      Also so strong we’d have a shot and get knocked out.
      Could those two be related? We’ll never know.
