Cooking with smaller amounts

For those of you who are cheap like me and don't grow, here are my few experiences with cooking with smaller amounts.

**The author of this work is presently blitzed beyond belief and make some typing spelling and grammatical errors. Please forgive**

Basically, I made cannabutter the first time, with the saute method. I took two joints worth of weed(my joints are pretty much cigarrette sized, as I use a joint roller machine). This weed was a decent bit of schwag, decent in got me quite high by smoking a joint. I used a non stick fry pan, and placed half a stick of butter in it, and proceeded to melt it over medium heat. **Note, this was a bit too much butter for the amount of weed in my opinion**When the butter was melted, I reduced the heat to keep it just below a simmer(somewhere between low and medium, depends on yout stove). Then I added my weed, 2 joints worth of schwag, and cooked it over low heat, with frequent stirring to prevent burning for about 15 minutes.Also, I was constantly adjusting the heat to keep from burning butter or weed.

Note:When the butter is melted, you can also "clarify" the melted butter, by scooping away the white foam like stuff. I believe this will help the Cannibudder last longer (decreased rancidity). I don't have a need to keep it around for more than a day or so, thus I skipped this process.

Ok, so you've cooked 2 joints worth in butter, now ya gotta strain. At this point I didnt have a nice handheld metal strainer, and couldn't find any cheesecloth, so I poked a ton of holes in a coffee filter, and squeezed the remaining butter from the vegetable matter (Don't forget to cool it!)

Tada, a small amount of cannabudder! Now, I used a premade cookie (the raw kind that sells in the refrigerated section in the grocery store, that you break apart and cook), and worked the butter in. Since I used half a stick, I had to use four cookies to cut down on greasiness, and ended up with a giant cookie. Cook, serve, fry, repeat!

I was baked in about an hour, and continued to fry higher for a few hours, then slowly came down. I fell asleep about four hours into it, and woke up a little high! I have a few more experiences to share, but it took me about an hour to type this because typing is a bit of a chore right now=)

Note: Eating gives me a heavy, heavy body buzz. Every part of me tingles, its so cool!

thanks for the tips, so did u end up making one huge cookie. i am gunna try that shit this friday, i hope it works though last time i tried i fucked up. do u think it is worth it to cook the weed or would i get just as stoned smoking it?

Exelent, I get my ozzer today and I just came in here ( i don't usually bother with cookin' weed, just smokin') to see if I could do something small, and woop-de-doo! here's this post.
You get a 5 for fantastic.. Thanks for the recipe.. One thing though..When you say half a stick of butter, what's that in grams (125gm?)..

EVERYBODY SHOULD USE THE METRIC SYSTEM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

DankedOutPrincess420 , on eating versus smoking, it is simply a matter of preference=) Eating weed gives your lungs a break. Although it may take a little more to get high by eating, be assured the high can last from 6 to 8 hours, and is a different high than smoking. Personally, I eat when I have longer blocks of time to kill, and I smoke when I just want a buzz for a few hours. Eating is cool=)

Makros_01, a stick of butter comes in a pack of four, and totals a pound. In metric, a stick of butter would be about 113 gm (1/4 pound). I think for two joints worth, half that amount (~56-57gm) would suffice.

I'll try to post future measurements in both metric and apothecary systems=)

if yur gunna make cookies u dont gotta make butter first. i just buy the frozen pilsbudy cookie dough, the double chocolat fudge 1, then i spread a bit of peanut butter, then put the weed on then some more cookie dough. u dont need the peanut butter, but its fatty so it helps extract the thc. i made 1 big cookie with 5 or 6 grams.a quarter of the cookie got me high then a next day i ate half of it and got fucked.

ive done the same thing chill pill, but i usually use the dank buds, not schwag, when im making just a few cookies. you can use a gram and get 2 or 3 STONY cookies!

I love talking about eating th erb. I have done so on so many occassions...yesterd ay lunch, today dinner..lol

You really dont need that much weed to cook and get yourself a *good* to *excellent* body buzz. I once used waaaaaaay to much and didnt move from my couch for sx hours. (lol, had to cancel those plans!)

Ive been getting dirt *very* inexensive, and it's nice too cook with.
THE TRICK: SURFACE AREA
When you plan to cook with your ganja, I advice you to grind it up *as much as you can*
I use my coffee bean grinder. it really does the trick. after its ground up I keep it in a little jar with the rest of my erbs!

Whenever I make pasta sauce, or any thing in a stir fry or oil (or butter, FAT is the key) based meal, I throw in some "spices"
I dont use too much, maybe a teaspoon for myself.
warning, for those who havent eaten it before though, it *is* a different high. I sometimes prefer the body high when I know I hav nothing to do for the rest of the day

Hey chillpill, i was just wondering what you did with the bud after you drained the butter from the weed? Also, when you put the butter in the cookies how did you do it? Did you just let them sit in the butter, or just cover the cookies? Please let me know, thanks.

you work it into the dough, if you are making from scratch, use canabis butter where ever recipie calls for regular butter. As soon as I harvest I am going to throw a weed party, gonna get so chopped. Jay's, tea, brownies -it's going to be great.
