Never throw away your males/hermies!

I had decided that for my first grow, I wanted to make use of as much plant material as possible. The idea was to pull my males and make them into an omelette. I had the fan leaves from 2 males plants cut down 3 weeks into veg, and also a stunted plant that turned hermaphroditic about 1 week into flowering. After letting them dry out a little by laying them evenly over a piece of newspaper for a few days, I coursely ground them by hand. I only used between a quarter and a third of the total leaf mass obtained. Into a frying pan with a little bit of butter/vegetable oil they went, and I cooked them until they withered and turned a very dark green/black. I threw in the eggs, let them cook a while, then finished it under the broiler with some cheese upon which I sprinkled some more finely ground leaf material.

Taste was unique...kind of like a more aromatic and fibrous spinach. Effects kicked in around an hour and a half after ingestion, very uplifting and euphoric. I could still feel the effects for 5 hours or so.

I don't think I'll ever discard my males or hermies from now on...besides, I'm really starting to dig the taste. :yummy:

It would be really interesting to see if others can get a similar effect from their males. I've tried smoking the leaf material and have gotten minimal results at best, not to mention the taste is less than palatable. It may be that there are certain cannabinoids in the males that are maximally activated following the cooking process...who knows?

u needs to use a stick of butter, but it works just fine. the watery rubbery material below the butter is disgusting and stinks like shit.
got me real good, 3 plants producing 3 servings, the 2nd one putting me on dream street. i was couch locked..and these were jamaican bagseed.
good stuff.

i trimmed all the fan and bud leaves off my male, then stuck baggies over the buds to collect pollen overnight, but what i was wondering, was if i take the leaf matter, (almost fills a 1 quart bag without being compressed, plant was 2 weeks flowering, 5 weeks old total) how much would it be? 1 dose? I plan on maybe the omelette, maybe something else. I just dont want to take a too large dose, finding commercial smoke has been wicked hard, so my tolerance is way low. After a certain point I just said fuck it, and am just waiting for my grow to finish.

so you think it'd take a whole male for 1 dose?

holy crap i got a nice buzz going from my boy!

i trimmed all the leaves off a male plant 2 days ago and put them in the freezer, and collected pollen for 2 days (the male had just started producing pollen) then after i had my pollen, i pinched off all the buds and discarded the stems (i dont know why i did now that i think about it. i should have used them too). today I put the greens in a pressure cooker with a stick of butter and pressure cooked it for an hour or so, perhaps 50 minutes. I strained off the greens in a towel and wrung it out, putting the water in the fridge and setting aside the green stuff for something later (maybe pizza!)

anyhow later on in the day i seperated the water from the hard butter and put it all away. i ate about 2 teaspons worth on toast, and didnt feel anything after 2 hours, so just a little while ago i got out my cookbook and used the butter to make some sugar cookies.

well i ate 3 cookies, all about 1" diameter balls before cooked and ate them.

so i'm pretty buzzed and this post is taking longer to write as time goes on so i better finish it up before i cant finish it at all lol

anyhow, i started feeling a creeper coming up behind me, and just a bit ago i got slugged behind the eyes lol i am pretty good now, the damaged ligament in my foot has no pain at all now, i am in heaven.

peace guys i'm out, but first let me add my vote to the "dont throw out your males!" thread lol :woohoo:

Ok I just had to report back here.

I have now just been high for the longest continuous stretch in my life lol. :joint:

i was high all the way from mid afternoon when i made that post yesterday to about 3pm today, almost 24 hours.

i woke up in the morning and i was like, wait a second, this isn't just me being tired from when i first wake up, this is me still high! :woohoo:

I havent had a smoke for about 3 weeks, so tolerance was low/nonexistant, but damn, even so!

I think the reason I was high so long is that I didn't fully digest everything before falling asleep, and then my body started digesting again in the morning when i woke up and got some more thc... i dunno does the body stop digesting when you sleep? if it does than this seems to be a plausible explanation.

anyhow i was high so long I was actually getting annoyed since I had stuff to do today.


after about 20 hours i was like, wtf will i ever come down? lol

and this is from a male. males are totally not worthless in my book after this experience.

and it's good MJ isn't the slightest bit poisonous or that'd likely have been an OD. :fsu:

well, enclosed is the picture of the boy that had me flying for a day straight:

I'd like to add my 2 cents.

I'm 2 months into a grow and 3 out 4 of my seeds were male. I live in a country where weed of any kind is scarce to non-existant and shitty expensive hash is occasionally the only option. My tolerance is nice and low and I managed to catch a buzz and was even able to differentiate between the highs produced smoking two different strains of MALE leaves. Well, it didn't take me long to get bored of trying to get more than a buzz so I decided to cook some up and see the effect. I harvested about 10-14 grams of leaves off three males and when the leaves were sufficiently dried and cured I threw them into a coffee grinder. Last night I cooked up about three grams in about 2 ounces of butter, let it simmer for 10 minutes, strained it through a coffee filter and knocked it back in 2 shots. After about 20 minutes I could feel my heart get racy and then I drifted into a dreamstate for about 40 minutes. When I emerged from this couch lock effect I remained high for about 3 hours until clarity of mind returned. The only downside was the initial nausea of ingesting 2 ounces of liquid butter. I will only use butter again if I do any baking so I think my next experiment is to soak the remains (maybe 7 grams) in a bottle of vodka for the next couple of weeks and see how that works.

i usually make cannabutter out of my males. although its been a while, you heat up some water in a saucepan (a 7 inch saucepan with half full of water) to boiling. then chuck in a stick of butter or margarine. ive used both and they both work well. then bung in the leaf/sticks to the mix and give a good stir. put the heat back down to simmer and put the saucepans lid back on. after about an hour your whole house will be smelling pretty .... incriminating :D.
leave for an hour or so and then drain the mix through a mesh. all of the hot water and the butter (with the THC in it) will go through the mesh into a bowel or container leaving the leaf in the mesh. when you heat the leaf up the THC transfers itself from the leaf to the butter creating CANNABUTTER :D !!!!!!! and its AWESOME SHIT!! now leave the container with the water and butter in the fridge overnight and the butter will seperate itself from the water and sit ontop of the water. scoop the butter out and use it in anything you want.
i use it to cook pasta. i just chuck a scoop or two of it in with my alfreado pasta mix and throw it into the microwave. you cant even taste it!! then for an hour or two afterwards i get a niiiice buzz ...


:D wedge ....

"then chuck in a stick of butter or margarine."

WRONG! Margarine will absolutely NOT work when making cannabutter. You need to use butter that contains at least 11% fat. I have seen butter with up to 14% fat. The higher the fat content - the better. Again, margarine will NOT work, so don't even try it unless you want to waste your time and plant trim.

Any and all fats will work. Dunno where you got this idea, but it's wrong.
