Cannabutter: How to make your own intoxicating butter

Cannabutter, also known as weed butter or grass butter, is a brilliant way to bring the infused kick to the dinner table. Do you think this is too complicated? Don't worry, we'll show you how to do it step by step.

Cannabutter in a nutshell

Cannabutter, short for cannabis butter, is simply butter to which a certain something - namely cannabis - has been added. And if the weed contains THC, it's psychoactive, baby!

The production: Easy-Peasy

Making cannabutter sounds like magic, but it's actually quite simple.

1. What you need

Get an oven, a pot, baking paper or aluminum foil, a melting pot, a spatula, a sieve and storage jars. Check!

2. The choice of fabric

Now you have to decide: weed or hemp? THC or CBD? Weed gets you high, CBD doesn't. Your decision!

3. The Magical Decarboxylation Step

To activate your weed, you need to decarboxylate it. Sounds like a laboratory, but it's very simple: spread the crushed flowers on a baking tray, heat the oven to 90-100°C and let the buds "sizzle" in there for 15-20 minutes. As soon as it smells nutty, it's ready. Don't miss this step or your cannabutter will remain limp!

4. The ingredients

For the basic cannabutter you only need 250g butter and 7 - 10g decarboxylated weed. Sure, more grass = stronger butter.

5. The instructions

Now let's get down to business:

• Melt butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
• Add the grass: Stir in the decarboxylated flowers and stir patiently for 2 hours. Low & slow, baby!
• Sieving: Pour the butter through a sieve and pour into glasses.
• Allow to cool: Allow the butter to cool. It will be green and smell strong. Normal!

Cannabutter use: Here's how it works

Now you have your homemade cannabutter and you can get creative.

1. The effect of edibles

Remember, edibles work differently than smoked foods. Be careful, especially if you're new to the world of edibles.

2. The Crockpot Trick

If you're lazy or don't want to stand at the stove for hours, use a crockpot. He does the work for you!

3. Mix it up!

Try adding peanut butter or herbs to cannabutter. That gives it that extra kick!

4. My favorite recipe: THC peanut butter cookies
