Cannabutter instead of oil for brownies?

I personally have had much better success with simmering herb into a lipid carrier than with eating raw.

I'm just guessing, but my theory is that when the thc is in a lipid it is much more readily digestible and gets into your body much more efficiently. Without the lipid carrier, it is much more likely to move through your digestive system without getting absorbed.

Again, this is just my theory and I haven't researched it. I know for a fact that this is a medical method in applying pharmaceutical treatments with certain drugs - some drugs don't work unless they have a carrier that allows the body to absorb it more efficiently.

 

[SweetIndica2]

Exactly, your body has alot harder time digesting THC as it is not water soluable. I also read somewhere the other day that when you cook THC into a lipid, it becomes alot more psychoactive. Let me see if i can dig it up again.

doncosmic- I've eaten plenty of treats cooked with cannabis, i've never been "uncomfortable", it's weed....

Either way, i'm not going to eat straight hash or bud...it's a much less efficient way of trying to get high, if you get high at all, i have personally never gotten high from eating any raw form of THC. I also personally don't like to waste my hash/bud/etc.

 

[crftymofo]

You know you shouldn't believe everything you read online. Try it with some kif. That is all I am saying. try it yourself. It never hurts to try for yourself and say I know, rather than I read.

 

[SweetIndica2]

Read my post, i have tried eating THC in raw form (bud, and had a friend snort some kief) neither of us ever felt anything. I for one, don't like to waste bud like i said. Why would you use a method thats less effective anyways? Regardless if eating THC in raw form works, why wouldn't you cook it into butter which ensures your getting most or all the thc absorbed into the fat. Eating it in raw form is not an efficient way of eating it, i for one don't have alot of personal stash. So i try to find the most efficient way of getting high, maybe when i have plenty of hash or bud to spare i will. I am actually harvesting a few plants in less than two weeks, so i might try it then. I don't know, maybe i just didn't eat enough, we shall see.

Ouch, yeah snorting the kief is not right in so many ways...

Never tried kief, but what ur saying is small amount of kief will get you blown for a long time?

The reason its harder when eating bud is cuz its trapped in the plant matter, same reason why if you use whole buds making butter you get a much inferior product than when you do a course chop, gotta release it.

Kief on the other hand is pretty much in a "pure" form. The water in your stomach is highly acidic, and blood vessels/intestines and whatnot absorb much more than water.

Never tried pure kief before, but unbiased reasoning tells me kief can somehow be absorbed. Not binded to any plant matter, so it should me more readily absorbable elsewhere in the body

 

[SweetIndica2]

No, it's not because it's trapped in the plant matter it's because it is not water soluble. Only a small amount would be absorbed into your fat cells, the rest would not have any effect on you. Kief is not pure, infact most kief is probably only around 30-50% thc, not a whole lot more than very good bud.

 

[Zoltan]

I put pure in quotes because I was talking about easily accesible. As in the kief covering buds, and inside is not pure, but kief by itself is "pure"

made perfect sense in my head

 

[crftymofo]

how about this. I am sure you are not willing to try it being so closed minded, so anyone else is open to try it and post.
use the amount of trim that you would use for your butter. now take that bud and kif it.
Say you where going to use 1/4 of the butter you get in a batch of brownies. Use kif instead. Now that will be a good amount of kif. take a 3 day weekend and enjoy.

huge disclaimer: eat a very small amount of them. I know from personal experience that a very small amount of kif will get you ****ed up. And using that much kif will probably get you comatose.

I must say that it is funny how your post have gone from I'm are completely wrong, to it is not as good.

 

[SweetIndica2]

Well, would you rather tell me you are flat out wrong? Because personally, i think it's in your head, eating raw thc is not a bright idea. If you want to do it, then go ahead. No one is stopping you, now please get out of my thread and take your idea elsewhere because it has no place in here.

Besides, it's weed. if you comatose from weed then you have a problem.

 

[crftymofo]

since you asked nicely I will leave. I am sure someday you will realize I am right and be like damn, I sure looked like an idiot.

are you sure your not a politition most of them are as arrogant as you and think they are right no matter what anyone else says,my flat mate ate a block of hash nearly the size of a match box once and we couldnt get him out of his bed for 3 days,i too am quite happy to leave your thread now,your user name should be enos for he knows everything

 

[SweetIndica2]

crfty- yea, you wish. Regardless if your little idea works, cannabutter is a flat out more efficient way of making food. It's funny how i can get attacked by a bunch of know-it-alls over a simply subject, i personally could care less if your idea works...i'm not here to bicker like a little kid. Maybe you will realize that some day.

kiwi- Then your buddy obviously isn't used to it, i've eaten plenty of very strong brownies, cookies, etc. made with everything from weed to hash to kief, and i have never experienced the effects you are describing. Don't get me wrong, i've made some pretty strong snacks, but the feeling isn't that strong. Obviously though, someone not used to smoking or eating cannabis may feel those effects.

I guy I knew liked to grind up a half ounce of schwag week in a coffee grinder (course, you can't use that grinder for anything else!), then bake it into brownies. He was a hard core stoner and would only eat a quarter of a piece at a time. First time I tried it, I ate a quarter of a piece. 15 minutes later, I wanted to eat more. He warned me not to. I said !@# it, so I ate another quarter piece. Half an hour later I was immobolized. For the next six hours I sat in a chair, feeling numb and ill. Afterwards, I slept for a few hours and woke up still ill but not so numb. I didn't touch weed again for 2 months.

 

[Zoltan]

I've been flored w/ a good batch of brownies. It don't matter how L337 of a smoker you are (or eater for that matter) ingest enough of any edible and you WILL BE on the ground and out of it for awhile.

There have been many a time where I had to crawl from the living room to bed.

CRFTYMOFO: would you think 1 TBSP of kief would be enough? I'm temped to to knock some off my plants to give it a try. Usually just keep crystals on the bud, and use all the trim for a BIG block of butter. But they looking frosty enough to donate some to a good cause.

 

[SweetIndica2]

Don't try and tell me what happens to me, seriously because edibles don't put me out your accusing me of lying? Like i said i have eaten several batches of very strong brownies/cookies/etc. Infact i made this batch the day i started the thread, i used 3/4 oz. of hashberry in 3 sticks of butter, i ate about 1.5 sticks worth of butter in total within about a 3 hour period (about 8-9 cookies and 4 large brownies), and while i was very stoned it didn't "put me out".

 

[Stoner4Life]

imo the 350-375F degree oven cooks off some of the resin just as vaporizing @ 275-325F degrees. some of those oils reach the bottom of the pan where they are surely cooked off.
But I have tried with great success using a Kenner Easy Bake Oven brownie and cake mixes, cookies too. The lower temps with safety in mind for kids also provides a safe temp for cooking with cannabutter. Remember you took great care not to over cook the cannabutter at too high a temp, why would you then turn around and put it in the oven @ 375? some of that goodness does cook/burn off.......

 

[SweetIndica2]

Who are you talking too? No one in here ever said anything about cooking at 350-375. I cooked my brownies at about 250-275, with great sucess.

 

[Papulz]

why not smoke something and calm down indica?

 

[SweetIndica2]

I am calm, i just don't like it when little kids come in my thread simply to start shit. If you thought i was being harsh to stoner4life, i wasn't...sorry if it came out like that.

I like to make the brownies. I had been doing it for awhile and built a tolerance to it. A friend of mine ate as much as me and his eyes got so bloodshot that a blood vessle burst. It was pretty creepy looking, but was only a cosmetic problem. We rode some carnival rides and he complained about the intense g forces bothering the eye, but he was laughing hysterically so it was all good.
