CANNABUTTER
INGREDIENTS
1 ounce Cannabis
1 pound Butter
INSTRUCTIONS
Using a coffee grinder, or something similar, grind the cannabis into a fine powder. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the cannabis powder with a wooden spoon. Once the mixture starts to come together, reduce the heat to low. Leave on heat for a minimum of 30 minutes, the longer the better, just don’t let the mixture burn! Once it has cooked, strain the mixture, making sure to squeeze all the butter out. You can use those plastic containers that margarine comes in if you have nothing to put your cannabutter in. Pour a little water over the butter once it has hardened and it will last longer.
NOTES
The amount of cannabis you use will determine how weak or strong it will be. Some people add as little as 1/4 ounce, some more. You can also use margarine, lard, shortening, and any oil (sunflower, sesame, olive, peanut, vegetable, etc.) instead of butter. If you don’t want the house to smell like cannabis, just add 7-28 grams of whole cannabis into a jar with oil and let sit for at least a week, this is known as Cannaoil. The same goes for flour, by mixing powdered cannabis into flour will leave you with a perfect flour substitute, Cannaflour. Just remember, any recipe that calls for butter, oil, or a fat can be substituted with the cannabis version.
CANNABIS TINCTURE (COLD METHOD)
INGREDIENTS
1 ounce Cannabis
1 pint 95% Ethanol (190 Proof)
INSTRUCTIONS
You will need 1 ounce of cannabis for every pint of ethanol. Some good spirits to use would be Everclear, 151 Rum, or White Lightning due to the high proof. You want an alcohol with 95% ethanol, or a 190-proof alcohol to obtain the best results. The night before you make this, leave your bud in the freezer, completely drying it out. It’s also a good idea to put the ethanol in the freezer as well. Once your bud has been in the freezer, grind it up to almost a powder and mix together with ethanol in a glass quart-mixing jar. Close the jar and shake for 5 minutes, then return to freezer. Continue to agitate the mixture every few hours with refreezing. Continue this process anywhere from 3 days to 9 weeks, however patient you are really. Remember, the longer the better. When you are done with that process, pour the liquid through cheesecloth. You can save the “ball” of cheesecloth for topical use, or run it through a coffee filter. Make sure to squeeze any remaining liquid out. You might want to wear gloves during this process, as the solution might be pretty strong. The color of your final product is dependent on what percent ethanol you used. If you used a 95% ethanol solution, your tincture should be pale green to golden. If you used 151 rum, it should be an amber color. If your tincture is a dark green that means excess plant material is present. This does not affect the potency though; it just means it won’t taste very good. It’s a good idea to add some flavor extracts, like vanilla or raspberry, to change the taste of your tincture.
NOTES
Making a tincture via the cold method preserves the integrity of cannabinoids. Always use the best quality cannabis for the best results. Your cannabis should be completely dry and mold free.
CANNABIS TINCTURE (WARM METHOD)
INGREDIENTS
1 ounce Cannabis, Roughly Chopped
1 pint 95% Ethanol (190 Proof)
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the cannabis and ethanol in a large glass Mason jar. Shake at least once a day. Place the jar in a brown paper bag. Leave in a warm spot, like near the window, for 30-60 days. The mixture should turn a very dark green. Strain with a cheesecloth like in the cold method, making sure to squeeze any excess liquid. This tincture has a nasty taste, but it is very powerful. It may upset fragile stomachs. You should take the tincture orally in cranberry juice or coffee with sugar. Store your tincture in a light-blocking glass jar in a cool, dry place (like the refrigerator or freezer). You can keep the cheesecloth in the freezer as well and apply it over an area of the skin for a few minutes with gentle rubbing.
NOTES
The main difference between this method and the cold method is the preparation of materials. Light must be avoided also.
CANNABIS ELIXIR
INGREDIENTS
Cannabis Tincture
Honey
4-6 Vitamin E Capsules
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the tincture in a double boiler over an electric heat source. Reduce the solution by half. Once reduce, add 1/2 the remaining volume of tincture in honey along with the vitamin E capsules (e.g. if you have 2 quarts of tincture after reduction, you would add 1 quart honey). Continue to reduce the volume with constant stirring until you have nearly boiled it down to the original volume of syrup you began with. Let cool, and store in a lightproof glass in the refrigerator.
NOTES
The dosage should be between a teaspoon and a couple tablespoons. You can customize your elixirs by adding different herbs, like adding syrup of Elderberry makes an effective treatment for influenza; or adding Kava can provide greater pain control and sedation. With a little study in herbal medicine, you can customize your blends for any ailment. For the flu, use cannabis tincture with Elderberry and Cat’s Claw.
