The Daily Tokers - Bud Butter Recipe

What up all...

Every once in a while I try an edible becuase I would like to give my lungs a rest and I would like to experience the difference in the high.

Unfortunately I had never gotten high from an edible. Until now.

I wanted to know how strong you can make butter, so made two batches.

The recipes are as follows;

1. 1 pound butter to 2 ounces of small bud and sugar leaf trimmings.

2. 1 pound butter to 3 ounces, small bud and leaf + 5 gram of kief.

I put the butter in the saucepan and melted it on a higher setting. At the first sign of it boiling I reduced the heat to a simmer. I literally watched the butter and turned it down incrementally until the bubbles in the bottom of the sauce pan stopped. I then put the bud in and stirred it. With the second recipe I had to add the trimmings slow and wait for the bud to absorb the butter, 3 ounces is about as much as you can fit in the 1 pound of butter.

After the bud/trim is in, I let it sit on low for an hour, stirring every couple minutes.

After an hour I scooped about a third of the mess out and put it onto a piece of cheese clothe that I put in a calendar/strainer. I smashed the blob down in the strainer with a spoon to get a bunch of butter out, then I squeezed the rest of the butter out of the clothe and bud by hand. I repeated this step until all the butter was out of the pan. Then stuck it in the fridge to cool and solidify.

I took the weaker of the two and made a batch of brownies and for the first time, I was LIT, giggling like a school girl...

Let me know if you guys try it and what your results are...

butter can absorb a 5:1 ratio of grams of bud to grams of butter.

and since cannabinoids generally make up 10-15% of plant matter, or less.

so I'd say there's a 1:1 ratio for hash oil to butter.

in fact, you can make it so strong that if you bonded it with a lotion of some sort, you could probably wipe a pea sized bit into your arm and get high as fuck like you smoked a joint .

edibles are definitely where it's at, but they take a LOT of bud or trim.

if you're using kief or hash, I highly suggest taking a shot glass, with a normal pan, fill it with water, get a ceramic tile and put it on the bottom of the pan under the water, then put the shot glass on top of it. you now have a boiling water bath.

put a tiny bit of butter in the shot glass, only enough to fill 2-3 gelatin capsules. drop the hash, hash oil, or kief (if you're using kief I suggest you use a LOT,and I mean a LOT, I used so much and it hardly worked.) and allow this to boil for 25-40 mins.

then put the shot glass in the freezer, and after the butter solidifies put it in the gelatin capsules, and voila, you have cannabutter pills that will get you ridiculously high if you take them all at once .

Thanks for the additional info poplars. I was unaware of the ratio. I did a bunch of research and the recipes I found maxed out at about an ounce of trim or a 1/2 of bud, I figured this was why I never felt any affects. I will definitely be experimenting more with it now. I enjoyed the high.

Have you tried the method in which you add water to the butter and trimmings, then let cool and remove plant matter and water?

I was thinking if I couldnt get a strong enough dose from the recipes above I would be able to add more trimmings if I put some water in, but it sounded messy...

yes, that is the only method I use when I'm using trimmings or bud . . .

if I use hash thats when I use the shotglass trick.

with the water you just have to make sure you don't use so much that it makes a thin layer of butter on the top due to too much width . .


if you get a tall cup that has a small radius, it will make the butter solidify in a thick chunk at the top instead of a thin one.

but yeah, you get the idea.

so I don't have the energy to go through and correct every post I said about the ratio and such so I'm just gonna say it here,

the 5:1 ratio I heard was based on BUD, not hash oil or other forms of concentrates.

this leads me to believe that it may not be possible to get cannabutter as concentrated as once thought.

though I may be wrong, even if butter can absorb 1:1, that is enough to get someone high with minute amounts (like a pill capsule or chapstick, etc.)

so I'm gonna dig around more and do a bit more experimenting myself to see what the correct ratio is . . .
