i tried making cannabutter with about 3 joints worth of weed and 2 sticks of butter..it doesn't do anything..i know i used too much butter in the mix..i've got yellow butter on the top and at the bottom there is a green liquid..anyone ever seen that happen? should i just drink the liquid and forget the butter? ate like 2 spoons of melted butter on toast..i felt a little bit but not much

define how much three joints is... because that probly isnt enough weed. I think you need more like a 1/2 or an ounce to get a decent high.

ok..i've read that a joints worth of weed will make about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of butter..i had about 3 fat joints worth of weed..so i used 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter..i put the butter in a pot and melted it then put the weed in..then i simmered it for about 30-35 minutes..then i put it in a container and let it cool in the fridge..i still have about half of my weed i used...it's gross but i ate the rest wrapped up in some cheese toast...i put about 1/4 cup in a half batch of brownies..i ate them all through the coarse of the day and didn't get anything from it...anyway i have about a half cup of butter left..there is about 1/4th of an inch in the bottom of the container that is green liquid..didn't get hard with the rest of the butter..should i put the remaining weed back in with it and boil it more? or maybe just put the green liquid in a shot glass and down it and hope for the best? the weed was pretty good mid grade so surely there's some thc floating in it somewhere..when i made the brownies i didn't stir it up..that was before i noticed the green at the bottom..so maybe i didn't lose too much in the brownies

Its that that there was a "green liquid" below the hardened butter that I am confused about.

Did you strain the cannbudder after cooking?

It should be a homogenous mixture by the time it re-hardens...

My thinking is too much butter to the weed and that you probably didn't pulverize the weed to a fine powder using a coffee grinder before heating it.

Suggestion would be to use the "green liquid" which is probably intensely concentrated and make something else, either cookies or brownies...or even better would be candies which wouldn't need to be re-heated.

Check out the Peanut Butter Cup recipes...mine is in the group on the recipe list.

Good luck and let me know how it goes
