How To Make Cannabutter (Simple 1 minute video)

FORGOT TO PUT IN VIDEO: DURING THE THREE HOURS KEEP ADDING WATER! DON'T WORRY, ONCE YOU ARE DONE THE WATER WILL GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FINISHED BOWL. JUST STOP ADDING WATER 40 MINUTES OR SO BEFORE THE END.

Making cannabutter (cannabis infused butter) is real easy to do as you will see in this video. The hard part is getting the right strength of THC. For average users, 1.5 grams (20% strength) per stick of butter is typical. For novice users, or those who prefer a mild reaction, use much less. How strong you make your cannabutter really depends on what you are going to do with it.

If you are new to this, please use less the first time. If you suck at math, please find online guides to make cannabutter at the correct strength and always make yourself a test cup of tea (make tea and drop what you think is a single serving of your newly made cannabutter into it and enjoy.) Better to ruin your Sunday afternoon and a single cup of tea than an entire batch of brownies.

And don't worry, even if you screw up the quantity of your cannabutter, you can always just USE LESS OF IT in your baking! As long as you have your ballmark math right, you'll be fine. If a recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of butter, you can always just add 1/4 tablespoon cannabutter and the rest normal butter!

Sample MATH:

For 1.5 grams of cannabis bud at 20% strength, you have (1.5x.2 =.3) .3 grams of THC, or 300mg. Since one stick of butter has 8 tablespoons, this means that for every tablespoon of cannabutter you would have (300/8=37.5) 37.5 mg of edible strength.

So at 37.5mg per tablespoon you could for example use 1 tablespoon and make 2 brownies at 18.75mg strength. Or you could make 10 brownies at 3.75mg strength or you could use 4 tablespoons in a brownie recipe (37.5x4=150mg) and make 5 brownies (150mg/5=30mg) of 30mg strength each.
