From delicious cookies to irresistible brownies, the possibilities are endless with cannabutter. We take a closer look at cannabutter, how to cook it and the benefits of making your own to create the most delicious cannabis-infused recipies.

Cannabutter is created by blending cannabis and butter together. This infused butter is widely used in cannabis-infused recipes, offering a practical and adaptable means of infusing cannabis effects into different dishes. The cannabinoids in cannabis bind to the fat molecules in the butter, making it an effective carrier for the medicinal and psychoactive properties of the plant.

Cannabutter is a versatile and enjoyable addition to your cooking. It allows you to enjoy the effects of cannabis in a discreet manner. You can use it as a substitute for regular butter in a variety of recipes including cookies, brownies, cakes, sauces, and more. The potency of cannabutter depends on factors like the strain of cannabis, the ratio of cannabis to butter, and the infusion process duration.

Cannabutter's potency can differ due to various factors, potentially surpassing other cannabis ingestion methods. This is due to the extraction and concentration of cannabinoids when infusing cannabis with butter or fatty oil. 

Firstly, decarboxylation is the process responsible for the increased potency of cannabis. Heating cannabis during the production of cannabutter converts the non-psychoactive cannabinoid THCA into THC, the compound responsible for its psychoactive effects. This conversion significantly boosts the potency of the cannabis.

Secondly, butter or fatty oil has a high fat content that boosts the absorption of cannabinoids in the body. Cannabinoids have a lipophilic nature, which allows them to attach to fat molecules, making them more easily absorbed and bioavailable.

Consuming cannabutter has a slower onset of effects compared to smoking or vaping. This is because it needs to be metabolised in the digestive system. However, the effects can be more intense and last longer due to the concentrated cannabinoids.

The potency of cannabutter can differ based on factors such as the quality and strain of cannabis, the cooking process, and the dosage. To find your desired level of potency and effects, it's advisable to begin with a lower dosage and gradually increase.

There are several benefits to using cannabutter in your cooking including:

Versatility

Cannabutter is versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes, making it easy to add cannabis to your favourite dishes and baked goods. Whether it's your first time or you've been around the block, this gives you more choices for consumption than other products.

Long-lasting Effects

Cannabis edibles made using cannabutter, has a longer-lasting impact than smoking bongs, joints or vapes. This can be advantageous for individuals seeking prolonged symptom relief or a lengthier recreational experience.

Precise Dosing

Cannabutter offers superior dosing control compared to alternative products. By precisely measuring the butter and cannabis infusion, you guarantee both consistency and accuracy in dosage, just like buying from the dispensary.

Discreet Consumption

Cannabutter offers discreet consumption as it easily blends into everyday foods, attracting minimal attention. This is especially favoured by individuals seeking the benefits of cannabis without drawing unwanted notice.

Full Spectrum Of Cannabinoids

When incorporating CBD and THC into cannabutter, you're able to access a wide range of cannabinoids. This is advantageous for individuals desiring a blend of therapeutic advantages and altered mental states.

Cannabis decarboxylation is an essential process used to activate the psychoactive compounds in cannabis. By heating the plant, cannabinoid acids like THCA and CBDA are transformed into THC and CBD. These active compounds have various effects on the body, such as regulating sleep, stimulating appetite, and relieving pain. Decarboxylation is necessary for creating consumable goods like edibles and tinctures that lack heat during consumption.

Before making cannabutter, it is crucial to decarb your cannabis. Its purpose is to ensure that when consumed, the desired effects of cannabis are felt. To achieve this, heat needs to be applied to the cannabis plant material at temperatures ranging from 93ºC - 118ºC for around 30 - 40 minutes. This process activates the cannabinoids and also prevents the taste of hemp in edibles.

Heating cannabis above 148ºC can destroy beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes. To ensure efficient decarboxylation and ingredient infusion, using an oven or specialised machines like the Magical Butter DecarBox Thermometer Combo Pack is recommended. For consistent results, it is advisable to grind the weed before decarbing.

Why Should I Use Clarified Butter?

To make the best cannabutter, choose milk fat-free butter like clarified butter or ghee butter. You can find these butters at your local grocery store or make them yourself. Although it requires extra steps, clarifying your own butter greatly enhances the taste, texture, and consistency. For the most potent and effective results, clarify your butter before adding it.

To clarify butter, melt it on low heat and simmer it. Remove any milk solids and foam that rise to the surface. This will yield clear, golden liquid butterfat. Alternatively, you can use melted or softened butter without clarification. Avoid using cold, firm butter, regardless of whether it has been clarified or not.

There are several things you should consider when making and ingesting cannabutter including:

• Cannabis Quality: Ensure the cannabis you use is top-notch, pure, and well-cured.
• Dosage: Calculate the appropriate amount per serving to ensure an optimal THC dosage. Beginners should begin with a low dose.
• Decarboxylation: To enhance the potency, it is crucial to activate the THC by decarboxylating the cannabis before infusing it into the butter.
• Fat Content: When selecting a fat, opt for one that has a high lipid content, like butter, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil. This is because THC attaches itself to fat molecules which will result in a higher potency of cannaoil being produced.
• Infusion Method: Choose the infusion method that suits your preference, whether it be stovetop or slow cooker, and then diligently adhere to the corresponding instructions.
• Straining: To improve the quality of your final product, strain the infused weed butter to remove any plant matter. This will ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Accessories such as the Magical Butter Filter Press is perfect for this.
• Storage: To keep your cannabutter fresh and potent, store it in a cool, dark place in an airtight container.
• Labeling: Ensure accurate dosing and prevent accidental consumption by clearly labeling the container with the potency of the cannabutter.
• Start Low, Go Slow: When using cannabutter, it's important to start with a small quantity and give it enough time to take effect before increasing the dosage.
• Responsible Use: It's important to use cannabutter responsibly and in a safe environment. Always consider your personal tolerance and any potential interactions with other substances or medications.

Step 1: Decarboxylation

To activate the psychoactive effects of cannabis flower, preheat your oven to 115°C. Spread the ground cannabis evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2: Infusion

To prepare the cannabis infusion, start by melting the butter in a saucepan on low heat. Once the butter has completely melted (you may need to add a cup of water), carefully stir in the decarboxylated cannabis. Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 2-3 hours (adjust your cooking time depending on if you are using a saucepan, double boiler, crockpot etc), ensuring to stir occasionally and keep the heat low. Avoid boiling the mixture at all costs, as it may adversely affect the cannabinoids.

Step 3: Straining

Once the mixture has simmered, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Next, position a container beneath a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer and strain the mixture. This will effectively separate the plant material from the butter. Lastly, firmly squeeze the cheesecloth to extract every bit of melted butter possible.

Step 4: Cooling & Storage

Let the cannabutter cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Keep the container in the refrigerator until the butter solidifies. Label the container to show it has cannabis-infused butter.
