CannaButter (tried and true!)

**I posted this recipe on another site but thought you guys/gals would enjoy it here too. Its a recipe that has been floating around for a while but its too good and too easy to not try for yourself if you are thinking about making CannaButter.
I made the butter with 3 grams of bud to one whole stick of butter. It probably won't be the strongest thing in the world but I think it'll do.
Procedure:
1. Melt 1 stick of butter (because brownie recipe calls for 1 stick of butter per box of brownie mix) in a small pot.
2. Add ground up marijuana and stir around in liquified butter. Make sure heat isn't too high or butter will burn.
3. Add a couple of cups of water to the pot. The water and oil (butter) will seperate, oil rising to the top.
4. Put on medium heat until water reaches a low boil (you'll see water columns rising through the oil to the surface of the oil layer and falling back down into the water). Mix every now and then, although the water rising and boiling will do a fair amount of the mixing work for you. Leave on the stove for as long as you like at this heat. I did 3 hours.
5. Strain liquid through cheesecloth into another pot or other container.
6. Put this mixture of water and cannabutter into the freezer.
7. Let sit for 1.5-2 hours so that the butter solidifies on top of the water layer.
8. Carefully pull off the butter layer, making sure that most of it sticks together so you don't waste any.
9. This butter is now ready to use for your baking purposes. Cannabutter will have taken on a green shade of color.
**At this point I used the stick of butter (now cannabutter) in a brownie recipe. The brownie mix was poured into a tray of 12 cup cake molds as evenly as possible, baked, removed, packaged and put into the freezer for storage until midterms are over this week. 3 grams divided by 12 brownies = approximately .25 grams of bud used per brownie.
I've made butter by just simmering ground up bud and butter in a pan and straining the muck to get rid of the plant material but I like the new procedure alot better. It makes for a cleaner product with less mess.

you put it in the fridge, this way you have butter solidified floating at the top of water and its very easy to pick up.
though best way, put it in the freezer at first but don't let it freeze, once it's pretty cool then stick it in the fridge and wait for the butter layer to form.
then you could freeze it afterward and hunk off the semi water-semi butter remains.
but only 3g? That might be some dank ass herb.... I'd say you'd want like 1/4 oz of middies for a stick of butter so you know, maybe it will come out real strong but then you don't have to eat almost your entire batch of brownies to get high.
if i used 3g i'd use like a 1/5 stick of butter and just eat hunks of butter randomly to get high.

I've never made cannabutter before but that does seem like an awfully large amount of butter for 3g's. Are you looking to get high or fat?

You strain it too though right? I've read many recipies and done one of them, and didn't strain and it left that musky, green leaf weed smell to the brownies. Personally i liked it, but my sister who made them with me didn't take to them.
