This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

That would solve the problem about not getting high, but cannabutter still tastes pretty bad. That's why it's usually hidden in baked goods with stronger flavors like chocolate.

Use the butter to sauté magic mushrooms and trip balls.

PS.: I have no clue what I’m talking about.

Not really, if you do it properly there is almost 0 taste difference.

After infusing the butter and filtering it through a cheesecloth or coffee filter you have to put it in a pot of boiling water, use at least 5 times more water than cannabutter. Stir it thoroughly for a few minutes, then let it first cool down to room temperature and then put it in the fridge. Since THC is only soluble in fat but not water it will stay inside the butter, but much of the plant material like chlorophyll is water soluble and will get dissolved in the water during this process. In the fridge the butter will solidify on top of the water and you can remove it from the water to have your clarified butter that tastes almost like regular butter

Canna-ghee. Glee, if you will.

Steak is also excellent at hiding the flavour.

Do you use the butter in the pan to cook the meat? I would think that either wastes the product or the steak.

Nar melt some and poor it over the steak. It absorbs it as it rests.

It's usually used when searing the steak. You add it near the end of the cooking as to not burn the butter. You use it to baste the steak (shovel the melted butter/oil over it to cook it more evenly on both sides).

I used to put it on toast and sandwiches so,,, to each their own I guess

Mine is delicious, but it's the only one I've ever tasted. Maybe I'm weird, maybe I'm some kind of culinary prodigy.

I could share the recipe I used...

Decarbed with the water bath method: https://www.sousweed.com/blog/decarb

Then used this recipe: https://www.sousweed.com/blog/2015/6/13/sous-vide-cannabis-butter

I used 10g girl scout cookies for 500g butter

I thought it would be too weak but throwing 10g of the cannabutter into my risotto made me fly to Venus for about eight hours and I'm not sure what exactly happened in that time. I visited friends apparently, but I only know because they told me. Hallucinations of sheep everywhere!
