Sorry about starting another thread about cooking w/ bud, but I haven't been able to find the answer to my question anywhere else. Anyway, I have a big bag with an unknown amount of vaporized weed, like at least 18-24 grams, but it is hard to tell because it has all been crushed into fine powder. I don't really feel like buying a scale because I have no other use for one. I'm planning to make a batch of cannabutter with the stuff, but I have no idea what kind of dose I should take. I also have a bag with around 75 stems, some large some small, and I'm going to grind those up and throw them in. I was thinking of just eating the whole yield, or maybe split it in half. I am a little worried about massively overshooting and having a shitty time. I tried to find thc percentages for spent herbs, but no luck. Anybody have any experience with this or something similar?
If its vaped it probably doesnt have shit for THC in it, but I could be wrong. It all depends on what recipe your following and what not. Maybe someone else here can help you better.
if its been vaped most of the thc has been removeed, depending on the setting of your vape. There will definetly be some thc left tho, especially with almost an ouce of it. I think you have the wrong idea about the butter though...your not supposed to eat any bud when u eat the butter, it should be just butter with thc in it, u strain out all the green once its done. And for the amount, theres nothing worse then really dilute cannabutter...you have to eat way too much and its nasty. U should have enough butter so that all the bud is submerged but thats it. As for knowing how much to take, start with a small amount and build your way up...the woprst thing that can happen is that you fall asleep... hope that helped.
Thanks for the help. Yeah I know not to leave herb in the final product, that would be the nastiest shit ever. The bag I have smells terrible, so I am pretty terrified of what the butter will taste like. There is definately THC left in the vaped bud, not to mention CBN, CBD, cannibinoids with aren't activated at vaping temperatures. I know that the butter works from the accounts of some homies, but they never scaled out the ingredients before they made it. I don't really want to take small doses either, because I doubt I'll get any effects from the 1-7 gram range. I agree with you guys that the vaporizer gets the majority of the goods, but I just thought it would be a fun experiment. I don't want to waste this stuff, because it has taken me a considerable length of time collecting all of it(probably 3-4 months). I would consider overdosing a waste also, because I would just pass out and possibly wake up gay or retarded or something. Maybe I'll just wait until the Spring time comes and then make a PHAT BATCH. Anyway I'll make sure to post about it whenever I try the shit out. It kind of sucks that there isn't any information on the net about this topic, at least there will be one thing soon.
i made ganja butter from vaporized weed before (from the Volcano). I forgot to weigh it out before i cooked with it, so i dont know how much i had. i used the butter in a standard cake/brownie pan to make a yellow cake. after giving some away (it was a novel thing - tasted kinda like vaporized weed) i eventually ate 3 or so large pieces, each one being about 1/10th or 1/8th the size of the cake itself. i know that´s hard to judge how big, but each piece was a little smaller than your average wallet and about an inch and half thick. anyways, after eating those 3 pieces, i definitely felt it. didnt last as long as regular weed would have, but it still worked. hey, feeling ANYTHING off of weed that you´ve already got ridiculously high from is something in itself. so i´ve been saving the vaped weed ever since (cinco de mayo from last year - the 5th of May) and have about half of a glass peanut butter jar full. i´m going to wait until it´s about 3/4 full to make the butter again. to make a guess, i´d say that i had a little less than 1/2 of a jar of vaped weed when i first attempted cooking with it. basically, if you have enough vaped weed, you can make butter with it and you´ll feel the effects. they might not be THAT strong, but they´ll be more than nothing at all. i just love the fact that you can still get high off of weed you´ve already gotten high from.
Ok... here you go. I save up the vaped herb from my volcano until I get 28-30 grams. It'll only look like about a half in a regular sandwich bag. Two sticks of butter should be plenty, but three sticks will still yield pretty strong butter. Bend your recipie to accomodate however many sticks you use... so if the betty crocker bag says one stick then double the recipie if you use two. Cook the butter on low for at least an hour. I usually do this in one of those flat pans, but this past time we boiled water and put the herb in little glass cups that floated in the water so it wouldn't burn the butter. Both ways worked, but the second one was messier and more difficult. Once you have your butter, make sure it's strained very well. After that you should have your cookies/brownies/whatever in another 20-30 min. If you used a legit O and didn't fuck up the butter, you should feel pretty set after eating 2 or 3 of whatever you made, depending on how big you cut them of course. This past time we made brownies, but usually we make cookies. I used 3 sticks of butter for about 29 grams of vaped bud. I did a single batch of brownies that we didn't have enough mix for, so they are small and few but very dank. Since we used a lot less brownie mix, we ended up with a little over 1/4 cup of butter that I've been putting on my bagels and having a gay old time with. Good luck man. -Mike
Nice! Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated. I think I might use one of my friends scales next time I get the chance, so I can do this legit. I would mix some real ganja in there, but it is kind of wasteful with the dank. I can't get schwag around here, I have tried before for another cooking experiment. The only time I ever got schwag was the first time I ever smoked, back in the day. My friend got a 1/4 for 20 dollars, and I got a little high, but it was real shitty lol. I just might save up until April, and then make a pan that I know will have multiple doses. Oh and does it taste terrible?
Yeah, I've thought of doing the whole butter and water at the same time but I usually want to make the food right away and not have to wait for it to separate and harden. The reason it was messy was because my floating cups of butter weren't very stable and it got ugly when I felt the need to move them around. -Mike Edit: Where abouts along 45 degrees North do you live?
That's cool man. I was j/w because I'm on the 45th as well, and I used to work for a company that gave kayak tours called 41 degrees north. -Mike
Wow... I didn't realize until now that I totally contradicted myself. The whole time I thought those were the same numbers... for some reason. -Mike
