I bet that if you use the traditional method number 3 of simmering the Cannabis but you decarbed it first, your results would be comparable to method 4. I think the alcohol to break down the structure of the Cannabis in method one will give it a boost, but you could do that after decarboxylating prior to infusion with any of the method you choose. I would love to see the results if you didn't use the alcohol in method one and you decarbed in method 3. I wish I had access to a lab so that I could do these types of experiments myself 🙂
I do something vaguely resembling method 1 but in an abbreviated version. I admit to knowing fairly little about the properties of cannabis when cooked but I AM good in the kitchen so anything that results in WATER being used and then discarded seemed to me absolutely to result in at least SOME loss of potency since the THC isn't clinging only to the butter – the water also must have traces that are discarded. Anyway, I happen to like the taste of the cannabis and consider it an HERB in the kitchen so I don't necessarily worry about straining out every bit. What I do is grind the pot and then bake it at 240 for about 45min or so and then incorporate the powdered pot directly into a pan with melted butter. On a very low simmer, I stand over the pan and mix fairly continually for about 10 minutes, after which I put it into a fine strainer and push hard all the liquid out of the solids, so what's left is like a finely chopped herb paste. One COULD of course discard those remnants but I throw them into my brownie mixture and you can't even identify them at all as they more or less dissolve into the mixture. Unless I'm missing something, seems to me that I couldn't possibly get more THC out of the process than this, am I correct or missing something I should know? I would think that if you don't mind some of the pot taste, you might use a different method but when I taste the butter and even the pasty residue, it taste really good to me!
Please stop getting high before doing your videos. lol – There is SO MUCH missing info. THCa is the un-carboxylated THC. CBN, is an oxidative degradation product of THC == So you want less of those. Just look at THC level alone method 1 is stronger, but level 3 is cleaner. I would say use the Everclear spray with method 3 and we have a winner.
i fell asleep for abt 4 hours while my butter was infusing on the double boiler . when u woke up the thermometer was around 190°F did i fuck it up? fml
can you do method #3 with adding a decarb step from #1 .. im just not a fan of grain alcohol I am actually heading home today to make some for my grandmother who is doing another round of chemo.
There is MUCH more to cannabis then these 3 molecules. Each strain has different varieties and ratios of terpenes, that produce different effects and highs all you did was talk about how much thc was in the butter… great! doesn't mean shit, you didn't even get high and tell us about the high. I was really interested to see what the bioavailable butter high would differ like from the rest. I'm a big fan of using potentiators with bud and other things. I use a range of plants in my canna tea for example, to produce a great synergizing effect. I wanted to know how that method would synergize. You should have taken the same amount of the butter, say a gram, and put it on some toast and eat it, But testing only one method a day and documenting that method. Once you get high during a day you will not be able to reach that same high again until the next day, so if you tried them all in the same day the results wouldn't mean anything. I'm thinking that a better method would be to combine the bioavailability method with the ever clear one. Just working in the lechen at some point and then filtering it out at the end.
I still can't get a straight answer on what the best temperature is for THC to bind with the fat. The method here that claims the highest THC content just says 'simmer' in a slow cooker for 6 hours… Way to be exact.
Also I had never heard of this 'decarb' step… I am a professional chef and I've always used my sous vide machine AKA precision cooker to infuse my oil with THC.
I set the temperature for around 200 F (not quite boiling) add the oil and the ground weed into a small mason jar seal it up and place in the water bath for 2 or 3 hours.The precision cooker keeps the temperature exact the whole time. It's always turned out potent as fuck for my liking.
My big question is wouldn't this process I described 'decarb' the weed all the same? Or are you telling me if I baked it in the oven at 220 for a half an hour it will make my process even more potent?
No wonder this joke for a chef don't mention pct coconut oil, and enteric coated, delivery, would reduce weed sales 4x times, since u can get 4x potency just by using pct and enteric coating, so u can save 75%, of ur money and get same effect with edibles, conflict of intrest? Dispensaries sponsoring crapy videos like this
What a joke, 100 mct coconut oil most effective for infusion didn't bother to use, no enteric coated caps to administer, stomach acid destroys 70 % of thc, so just all around a joke of a cheff, probably got her chef degree in a online course over a weekend
Yet no Taste/efficacy results? No matter how many times ive used method #3, it's not my favorite. However the second melt and strain really makes a beautiful product. I like this method not for it's "easiness" but for the fact the water washes away so much you don't want like chlorophyll,dirt and chemicals. Looks like tonight, i'm going to make method #5: my own hybrid of all 4 methods. 😉
Wow! I have to do the work for you! Here's the best recipe: (It's not #1 because it tastes absolutely horrible and burnt, recipe 3 is best tasting probably– I never tried 4) I'm going to take all the best features of all of them and put together: 1. Decarb as in method 1, but use pyrex dish with foil. 1a. Spray with everclear 2. Do method 3, cooking in the water for 2 hours. Cool. Remove nasty water. Pat dry. Melt. Add lecithin to the oil and the bud. Don't strain yet. 3. Cook, as in method 2 but a third of the time. 4. Freeze, melt, filter.
I appreciate results like these. A few yrs ago I took part in a political chat room in several threads. One of the threads I created was about the nutritional benefits of hemp/cannabis including the seeds. I was adamant about the nutrients of the plant since I had learned about herbology and knew an important part of the healing of the plants and herbs was nutrients. A Canadian confirmed my suspicions concerning hemp seeds. He sent some off to a lab and reported it was high in all the heart healthy fatty acids one could need. I would be interested in seeing about the nutritional content of cannabis from your labs. Since it heals so many different things, I think the nutritional content will be especially interesting.
#3 the traditional is the best, imagine if it didn't skip the decarb stage right??
So would method C be the most potent with decarboxylation?? What about the THC levels for the other 3 butters? Seems like we need more information
For the best results couldn't we add water to number one in order to clarify it

Didn’t say how much the was in the og kush 🙁 I have some stuff on hand that is 26% thc wonder what my results will be hmmm I guess I’ll find out
Method 1 decarb with alcohol
Yay, method number 1!
Next time I make butter I will try the everclear spray.
If you were smart you would put a link in the description of the method videos!
i fell asleep for abt 4 hours while my butter was infusing on the double boiler . when u woke up the thermometer was around 190°F did i fuck it up? fml
If u baked with the 3rd one would it decarb?
Have you tried extraction using NO2 in a whipped cream maker?
can you do method #3 with adding a decarb step from #1 .. im just not a fan of grain alcohol I am actually heading home today to make some for my grandmother who is doing another round of chemo.
that pun tho…
With the water soluble method bringing your mixture up to 240 Fahrenheit would that or would that not decarboxylate?

I have a question: Isnt it enough to just decarb ur weed in the oven before u use it for Cannabutter? Or is it too long under heat then?
