My friends have a tendancy of running through a lot of weed in a short period of time, and we collect a LOT of little stems, often covered in resin. After reading a lot of different forums and posts ive decided to try to make some cannabutter with them, any ideas or tips that may help??
has anyone tried this before??
I plan on using about one and a half to twice as much stem mass as i would if it was just buds.

Because stems contain very little THC it will take an enormous amount of stems before your cannabudder will be potent enough to get anyone high.

That being said what you're going to have to do is start with 1lb (one stick) of whole butter and melt it on very low heat. When it's liquified add as many stems as you can and stir constantly. When the stems get soggy they'll have absorbed some of the butter, at this point you can spoon out the stems (save in a dish because you'll have to get that butter out) and add more to the butter or just toss in more stems with the soggy stems still in the butter. When you've got a nice dark green color to your butter it may or may not be ready (depends on how potent the weed was that the stems came from).

To get any butter out of the stems you spoon out just put them in a strainer and squeeze them against the side with the bottom of a spoon while holding over the pan with the cannabudder.

Hi, lifetime user, first time poster...

Once long long ago I had some brownies but they were made by putting the plant in the brownie mix. So it was leafy and gross but it really got the job done.

I've experimented with this boiling water/butter thing a few times and it has left me with waisted product. However, after reading your infomation I think I can do it this time and know my mistakes.

Yet, there is still a few things I need to get cleared up if I can have some of your time.

?)You say 1/4oz to 1lb butter. Ok that's great but now I have a pound of cannabudder. Nothing I know requires a pound of butter to make. Like Mac'n'cheese requires 1/4 stick of butter. Will I need to use the entire pound of butter in one meal to get off or do I use the required amount in any given recipie?

Thank you all for your time and help.

i just got a box of butter (= 1lb) and so each stick must be a quarter... got to grinding and realized i ground up 3/4 oz of flowers and 1lb of butter... this should be interesting

A friend of mine suggested that I use some kif (fresh, unpressed hash) for budder. He says (and purports to have ample experience in the subject) that I should put the kif in a tea diffuser and set the diffuser in the budder, then proceed with the heating process. He claims this will cut down on the bud taste and will make the budder ultimately more potent. I am skeptical about the teeny tiny trichomes flowing out of the rather larger holes of the diffuser. Will this work as well as buds? Would it matter if I just dumped the kif straight in the budder? Are the holes on my diffuser too big? Is language a reflection of the world that it describes, or do the terms of language define our world?

I dont want to watse any weed so please help me out.Im gonna be buying a 1/4 ounce of top quality chronic.Its costing me $100(ouch).So please help me so that i do not waste any of this primo bud.
So I Heat up 1 stick of butter in a saucepan.Then I add the chronic to it.The thing i am not sure of is how long to let it simmer.I want to make it long enough so that all the THC will be absorbed.Please someone tell me how long.Then i strain it.Cool it.And after that i basically use it.So please someone answer my question.And on a side not.what would happen if someone were to eat a stick of cannabutter made with 1/4 ounce of chronic.Will they Pass Out?Im not gonna try it.But its interesting.

Simmer the bud in your butter for about 35-40 minutes. Make sure that it's not a "hard" boil - it needs to be a simmering boil for that time period (otherwise you could burn it and OOPS! waste that nice stuff you just bought).

How should i prepare the pot before adding it to the butter? Should i break it up as small as possible without and stems or seeds? Or should i just deseed and destem it and throw it in as is?

I have never done this before but since no one is answering you...I'll go ahead. I'd grind the ganga into a fine powder, without the stems and seeds. Happy Good Merry Day
