Cannabis butter is a great basic to make cannabis-infused food and can be used for any recipe that requires butter.
In order for THC to properly decarboxylate—change from its acid form to its psychoactive form—the cannabis needs to be heated at low temperatures. For less cannabis flavor, there is an option to soak your cannabis in hot water for 8 hours before starting this recipe. Since THC is not water soluble it won’t take away any of the potency.AD
Important: If using a mason jar, make sure to start with cold water, and also let the water cool back gradually so it won’t shatter.
THC Dosage: 43-86 MG per tablespoon
Ingredients
1/4 to 1/2 Ounce Cannabis 1 cup Butter
Instructions
- Decarboxylate your weed by spreading your cannabis evenly on an oven tray And coat with aluminum foil.
- Place in the oven on 240F/115C for 25 till 45 minutes, and then let it cool.
- Grind your dry cannabis or chop it till fine.
- Place the cannabis in a strong mason jar, add butter and (1 tsp of sunflower lecithin)(optional)
- Place your closed jar in cold water and let it come to a boil, Boil for 2 to 3 hours.
- Strain your butter through a cheesecloth.
- Cool down
- Now you can use the Cannabis Butter (Cannabutter)

I will try to make cannabis cake
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 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.
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!!
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?
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 ?
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 🙂
Whats the shelf life
How much gram have one cup then
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?
Andrea Kerrygold butter is awesome! Love it spread over a warm bagel!
Does the bud add any extra calories to the butter or is it the same?
