I basically followed this for decarboxylation :

And rest is adapted from here :

It worked really well in my case.

Wow thanks for this info! I had literally no idea you could decarb in a mason jar until I followed your first link. I will check out the second one. Halfway through the article, I was leaning heavily toward using an oven bag, but since I already have a few 16 ounce double-lid mason jars anyway, and this is supposedly the least-smelly way to go using easy to obtain, household items, I think I will go this route. I need to read your second article, too, but I will do that later when I get home. Thanks again!

Thanks, Tyrnanicalrex. I don't think this this method will be for me, though, since I would prefer to make a big batch all at once, and freeze most of the butter. It also looks like these are pretty high doses lol.

Well, firecrackers are the fastest way to make some nice edibels..

Just put peanutbutter onto two crackers, put ground up weed in between, wrap all in tinfoil and put in warm oven for 15min. Done, ready to eat.
As it's so fast you could do this everytime you want to dose, right before dosing. That's the advantage of firecrckers. No need to simmer for hours, no filtering, no cooling,.. :thumbup:

Hash cocoa is alo nice. Melt some hash in butter and cream for 10min, add milk, sugar and cocoa powder, stirr, drink, be floored. :thumbup:
-

But yes, butter is nice. I always decarbed my weed first, then butter + water in a crockpot, let simmer for three hours, put all in a jar and into the fridge.
Once the butter is hardend the water will contain all the plantmatter and the hardened butter the goodies. Easy to separate.

Hi!

Basically, what Pandemon just said! :smile:

The way to not smell up the place when decarbing is by wrapping the bud in tin foil. IM TALKING A LOT OF TIN FOIL, wrap it round and round. It definitley helps.

PS; You can decarb weed, then just grab that weed and put it in a sandwich with nutella and peanut butter and voila! half a gram for one dose, I'd say, enjoy. Soo easy
So delicious

AS FOR that delicious green butter...I liked to put a spoon or two of that butter in coffee. Try it out sometime :crazy2:

Here's a question about all of this. I am going to try doing the original 7 grams I planned this week. I just received my cheesecloth from Amazon. Anyway, my question is how do you know how homogenized the butter is after you have cooked the decarboxylated weed in the butter and water? Meaning, once the butter hardens, will the rate of dissolving of the THC be consistent enough that if I take a teaspoon dose of the hardened butter from one section, will it be mostly about the same dosage as if I took that same teaspoon from another section? I put the word homogenized in hyphenation because I know that this can never be exact without a centrifuge or some other device to ensure consistent dissolution of the THC throughout the butter.

I guess my concern is I don't want to take a teaspoon and get a mild head or nothing, then take another from another section of the butter and get completely hammered because the THC dissolved with little consistency. Again, I'm not looking for exact consistency down to a fraction of a milligram, as that sort of precision could likely only be accomplished commercially. All I want is to create a butter that is close enough or at least pretty consistent throughout.

Or does the heating atop the stove or in a crock pot take care of that potential issue by forcing some consistent dissolution?

I've never had "hot spots" in my cannabudder.:shrug: Seems like it should be even all the way through due to the process and simple physics.

This is what I was hoping for, since I don't like getting hammered unexpectedly with any psychoactive compound. It also makes sense, since there is a lot of heating involved, and since THC is fat soluble, I was assuming it should disperse through the butter at least somewhat evenly, without any insane surprises in one or two hits lol.

I haven't heard that being something one needs to specifically look after and experience seems to show it isn't a concern either so you should be fine.

For all the talk about carbolation i'm confused.
My first canna butter batches were made with plant trimmings, no decarbolation and they were the strongest brownies i ever made.

My recent batches are done with ABV material, about 2 oz to 3 sticks of butter and they seem mild in comparison.

I want to get that dosage back where i eat one and in 45 minutes suddenly feel so baked that my eyelids weigh 5lbs  :grin:

The decarb process is really not necessary as an extra step. Especially for use in butter as the butter will heat up to boiling and decarb while in the crock pot. When using heat it's unnecessary.

  I think there's too much emphasis on it.

IDK, I made 2 batches of cannabudder from the same plant. One decarbed, and one not. The decarb batch was stronger and had a more full experience to it.:shrug:
Definitely decarb a firecracker. I have done it both ways and the decarbed one was a lot stronger.

It's being decarbed during the cooking process...I've never had any issues though. And the stuff I make is definitely stronger than at the dispensary. As I can dose what I want.

Just curious. I know that there is no way to accurately predict dosing on homemade cannabutter and edibles, due to differences in weed quality, as well as cooking inconsistencies. But I would like to get an idea of a rough approximation for how many low doses one can expect from 7 grams of high quality weed?

I know quality is subjective, but if I am extracting the THC from 7 grams of weed into, say 1/2 pound of butter (two sticks), what can I reasonably expect in terms of approximately how many doses would come from this. Note that I tend to dose a little on the low side anyway.

You make a test run. I made toast with some fun butter on top lol. My butter was made from small bucket of clippings and result is 1 toast = weak day long trip, 2=nice day long buzz, 4 toasts = heavy day long trip lol

When I ate weed I used like .5g for a mild buzz, and 1g for a strong buzz. That was with high tolerance, though.
I bet today, when I smoke not daily anymore but only like twice a month, I'd get a mild buzz from 0.25g already.

So 7g of quality bud should lead to 15 to 20 mild doses.

I would try to measure the dose by how many teaspoons/tablespoons are in the budder. 1tbsp = 3 tsp. Maybe .5-1 tsp for a dose?
