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

        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

      You don’t need to decarb in anything, just heat the bud up and you can eat it. The butter is for extraction.

    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

                I can’t speak for other countries, the EU banned it a while ago, but up until very recently a lot of citrus drinks over here in the U.S. used a chemical called Brominated Vegetable Oil as a stabilizer/emulsifier I think? So at least in the U.S. there can be fats in some sodas. Maybe enough for the THC?

          It depends on how well you seal the foil. It’s going to smell like Snoops crib for at least an hour. But it goes away quicker than any other edible I have made.

        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.

        If you’re particularly lazy and want to check how a plant is doing you can even just microwave to activate it. put it in a glass cup with a damp paper towl under it, cover with a second damp paper towl, cover in plastic wrap except a small gap like you’re making a microwave dinner. Cook for a minute at a time on 20-30% power and let the steam release between cooks. Do that 2-3 times then remove nug from container and let it sit a few minutes on a plate or something.

          Does sugar “bind” with water when you put some sugar in a glass of water?

          No. It dissolves in it, but it doesn’t go away or anything.

          It’s much the same with cannabinoids and oils.

          Chocolate is an excellent thing to mix weed with because chocolate is fatty.

          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.

            It doesn’t really matter if it’s decarboxylated or not, your liver will do that for you. It’s just that doing it before ingesting it makes it come on a lot faster and stronger. Usually hash / concentrates is not decarboxylated. The heat from smoking will do that and if you want to eat hash, well, hash is so much stronger than weed and mostly cannabinoids compared to the surface area of buds, so eating it will still work rather well.

            We ate our hash at the airport in Amsterdam and then I had forgot a 0.3 nug in my hoodie pocket and it was found in the check, no problem in Amsterdam, they’re chill as fuck, but when we got back to Finland (flight takes a few hours) I was kinda high and the first thing that met me coming off the plane was a barking dog and customs agents yelling. I was quite alarmed but then quickly disarmed when I saw my friend (he got off a bit earlier as my seat was further back) joking around with a customs agent.

            They were pretty intense and checked us. Because I had had 0.3grams of weed in Amsterdam. God damn bored out of their minds they are, treating me like some sort of massive smuggler for something that’s barely enough for a J.

            Anyway, eating concentrates/hash works

        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 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.
