How to Make Cannabutter

Two Simple Ways to Make Cannabutter

Cannabutter is a butter-based substance that contains THC or, more specifically, cannabinoids? By heating cannabis and butter, the fat in the butter allows for the extraction of the cannabinoids.

There are a number of effective methods for making cannabutter two of which will be explained here.

First Method

• Crumble (or crush) marijuana buds , enough to fill a boiling pot roughly 1/3 full.
• Using a mixture of 1-part butter and 4-parts water, fill the pot until it is about 3/4 full.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 30 minutes. Stir frequently.
• After 30 minutes, remove debris from the bottom of the pot.
• Strain with Cheesecloth.
• Cool at room temperature and then transfer to a refrigerator. The butter will form on the top and, once it has been thoroughly cooled, will harden so it can be removed from the pot.
• After removing the butter, discard the remaining water.

Second Method

• Using a saucepan, melt 0.5 kg of butter.
• Sift several ounces of cannabis and add it to the melted butter.
• Allow the mixture to simmer until the butter becomes green in color. *Pour the mixture through Cheesecloth and press that saturated cannabis to squeeze out as much butter as possible.
• Repeat this process if extra potency is required (be sure to use the same butter for best results).

The cannabutter? can be effectively frozen if it needs to be stored. It can also be stored in the refrigerator by pouring cold water over the top of the butter . The water keeps oxygen from reaching the butter and also stops the butter from floating to the top.
