Cannabis butter is a great basic ingredient that rounds out delicious cannabis-infused edibles. This THC infusion requires an important initial step. Firstly, THC is activated to enable the psychoactive properties of cannabis. In other words, THC must morph from its acidic form to its psychoactive form. We achieve this by heating cannabis at a low temperature. This initial step is called decarboxylating or decarbing. Once your THC is activated, it is time to infuse your butter with this elevating ingredient.
Of course, it is very important to properly dose cannabis butter. Do not over saturate your butter with THC. It is possible for over consumption to cause uncomfortable feelings. Subsequently, our cannabutter recipe is carefully dosed. It is our intention for this infusion to create an ideal high. This recipe is very easy to follow. Please stick to the recipe guide to create this cannabis infusion for optimal results.
Unfortunately, not everyone loves the taste of cannabis. Follow this primary step to lessen the flavour of cannabis. Grab a cooking pot, and fill it half way with hot water. Add the measurement of cannabis required by the recipe to this hot water. Let the cannabis soak in this water for 8 hours. You are now ready to begin the recipe. Do not stress, THC is not water soluble and this process will not take away any of its potency. This process maintains the integrity of the THC in your cannabutter while dampening its earthy flavor.
Excitingly, you may swap your regular butter out for delicious cannabis butter. I other words, any recipe that requires butter is can now contain your THC butter. Suffice to say, cannabutter may be used in sweet THC edibles, cannabis infused lunches, and weed dinners. Cannabis infused butter is an exciting add to every meal!

Is it worth keeping what’s left in the cheesecloth after straining? Is there any useful way to use the dregs? Thank you!
Maybe a herbal tea
Can you substitute Hemp flower for cannabis for a cbd butter? Seeing a lot of hemp seed butter recipes but I prefer the flower.
I make a coconut oil infusion the same as above but with oil not butter
Recipe?
Cooking on high the tv show said u can add 1 cup of butter to 3.5 of grinded weed in to mason jar in slow cooker filled with water 4 hours on low an volia i wonder why they dont decarboxilate it first ???? Im scared to decarboxilate lmfao as 25 to 45 mins is a huge gap of time lmfao
Does the bud add any extra calories to the butter or is it the same?
Andrea Kerrygold butter is awesome! Love it spread over a warm bagel!
If I make it this way compared to putting into a slow cooker will cooking it this way in the mason jar stop my whole house from smelling?
I was wondering how much butter does this make with this recipe?
If you use 1 cup of butter you will get 1 cup of cannabutter, top of the recipe also says yields 1 cup 🙂
How much gram have one cup then
Whats the shelf life
I did the mason jar cannabutter. It turns out great. Plus it have too strong of an odor. I love this recipe.
How long did u decarboxilate the weeds for ?
You’re best to use butter with the,’highest butter fat’,content.
This brings the THC infusion out best. Good Luck & Happy Canna-Cooking✊
My cousin used to make cannabis oil for me. I don’t live around him anymore but would like to be able to make it myself. I use it to make edibles. Do you have a recipe for that?
What is the best butter to use for my cannabis?
Unsalted I think would be best. I use actual butter not margarine. Kerry Gold butter would be amazing for this!!
I would say that if you freeze it it would stay for quite some time 6 months Maybe.
I think I’m going to try this recipe to see how it comes out last time I just did it stovetop not a double boiler.
How longer can I keep save cannabutter if I have leftovers from a recipe?
Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap in aluminum foil and freeze.
I will try to make cannabis cake
