Materials:

- 2 oz CANNABIS TRIMMINGS (If using pure bud, use 1/2 oz for this recipe)
- 6 Sticks of Tillamook Butter (Many prefer to go unsalted, I did the same)
- 2 Cups Water
- Crockpot WITH Cover
- Strainer
- Wire Mesh Cooking Utincil (Additional Filtration)
- Cheesecloth/Coffefilters

Steps:

1) Begin by prepping all of your ingredients so that you have everything ready and accessable by your cooking area. This will help things run smoothe, and keep the kitchen clean & organized. Your bud should be in a bowl or bag properly dried and either use a grinder or break down & mix real good by hand.

2) Begin heating your crockpot on medium-high so that you can get the temps up to a level that will quickly melt the butter.

3) Add sticks of butter and begin melting

4) Lower the temp from med-high to Simmer-Low

5) When butter has completely melted add the dried/ground-up bud or trim and start stirring well so that you can incorporate it evenly with the butter and really layer it.
***Some like to add the water first, melt the butter in, then add cannabis. I find that being cannabis is alcohol & fat soluable and NOT water soluable, that it extracts the THC more effeciently when you start by cooking the cannabis in majority fat, and then add the water later***

5) After about 10-15 min of stirring and light simmering at low temp (DO NOT BOIL YOUR WEED OR YOU CAN RISK DEGRADING THC LEVELS), your butter/bud mixture should be developing a nice green color. At this point, you can now ADD 2 cups Water and create a more liquid mixture.

6) Continue to slow cook on LOW for atleast one hour, but 2-3 hours is recommended to ensure you get every bit of THC you can.

7) Before pulling, I like to do a quick temp boost and raise it to medium until I start to see some bubbles develop in the butter mixture, but not reach boiling temp and do a final stir.

8 ) Prepare your strainer/straining tools just above the container you plan to store the butter in, and begin pouring the mixture being sure to extract any/all plant matter with your straining tools. If a couple pieces get thru it's ok, you can always go back with a fork or small straining tool and fish it out of there.

9) If you have cheesecloth or coffee filters available, use those to fill up with handfuls of bud and squeeze over your container. You will find that it contains a lot of soaked up butter, and will increase what you get out of your batch by quite a bit, as well as potency. ALWAYS STRAIN YOUR PLANT MATTER INTO THE BATCH BEFORE TOSSING!!!

10) Cool your butter by placing in the fridge. Like Jell-O, over the course of a few hours you will start to see the butter firm and harden. As this process occurs, you will notice the water left from the batch settle at the bottom. Because of the plant matter, the water that builds up should be a brown color. Looks nasty, but once your butter is hard you can pull the chunks out, expose the water, and drain it out of the container. After I did this, I transfered it to another container so I didn't have trace moisture.

11) Put your butter in the fridge and use it for any recipe that calls for butter (or oil in some cases, as a replacement) and enjoy! I did cookies today that worked out great and it only took 1/4 of my batch. I still have so much butter it's ridiculous

Hope this helps! +Rep's are always appreciated!

That's the problem tho ... You BOILED your plant. Boiling it can bring the plant to such a high temp that you burn the plant matter, as well as lose some of the cannabinoids throughout.

Another thing is, male plants don't really produce much THC. They spend most of their energy on producing seeds.

Had you don't this with female buds or trim at lower temperatures, I guarantee you that you will have more success!

currently following this recipe. I know that it is an old thread but wanted to give the proper shoutout, and it was the easiest one for my crockpot, just adjusted for different amounts, waiting to finish and throw the butter into some cookies!

This recipe really isnt very good, crockpot on low is right, but it should be cooked longer, use less water, and boiling isnt too big of an issue. All of the water is going to stay mostly at the bottom, it'll boil around 212*, and that should be your butter temp too. Check with a thermometer.

I like to run it for 24 hours, 18 minimum. 8 hours will give you decent results though. I use to only run 8 up until 2 months ago, after trying 24 just for the hell of it, I got nothing but praise for the "new recipe." I didn't tell them I changed anything, and that was the only thing different.
