horton Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I like this site. There's not a lot of traffic, but you members do respond. Good stuff. Question- I have read a bit on making cannabutter for cooking. The boiling method with water and butter seem to be most practical. Does the MJ need to be dried? Or could it be simmered while still green? How small does the MJ need to be- ground, rice size, etc... How about water cure for a week and straight into butter? I am trying to quit smoking, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Horton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 You might want to look into bubble hash, make some nice cookies with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horton Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 thanks dysfer, Did you just chop up the roots, boil them with water and butter and chill off the butter for use? Do you get stoned? What is this vaporizing method? Never heard of that one. Horton, an American in England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chev Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Ok, you can use the MJ green or dry, doesn't matter. I use at least 2 ozs of kiff (small bud/leaf) to about 500grms of butter. Fill a large pot at least 1/2 way with water and add the butter, bring it to the boil. Then add your pot, you can break it down a bit and chop it up to make it fit a bit easier. Bring to the boil again, then drop it down to a simmer. Cook for at least 3 hours, I don't go longer than 5 or 6. Get yourself a pair of stockings, and strain your mixture into a pyrex dish or large dish of some sort. Make sure you squeeze all the butter out of the leaf matter, otherwise you'll leave most of the THC behind. Toss the leaf matter when you've squeezed as much out as you can, and put your mixture into the fridge until it sets hard on top (couple of hours or more). When it's set, drain the mucky water out that's under the butter layer and you'll be left with some nice green butter :thumbsup Enjoy, I've made many a good anzac bikkie with butter from the above method.Vapourising is good for ppl who can't smoke bongs, do a search on it and check out the different types of vapourisers for sale. It basically heats the pot up enough to release the thc as a vapour, instead of burning all the pot and smoking all the bad stuff you just get a thc vapour you can't really even see. Good on sore lungs, that's for sure!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipeman Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 using dried material is preferable to wet material because more of the chlorophyl will be broken down and it will taste a little better. There would be no difference in potency tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horton Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thanks a lot. You guys are really a fountain of knowledge. I will check out the vaporizer. I go to a hypnotist about every 6 months or so and get fixed. You know how it is- smoke a couple of splifs English style and you're back straight in. Making butter from green seems to save a lot of time. Any of you ever try original blueberry? How about home grown psychedelics? Till later,Horton ps- this spell check either doesn't work or I'm too thick or stoned to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
