   This won’t be a step-by-step really, more of a guideline with the important details, on how to take your weed, twigs, anything-with-THC on it — and turn it into cannabis butter. The cannabutter in turn, can be used to make anything that requires butter or would taste good with butter. Bake some brownies, slap some on your pancakes, anything. So let’s get started:

   Wtf, how does weed get inside my butter?

   THC is soluble in fat, and butter/margarine is full of it. The fat in the butter actually breaks the THC down into a digestible form. If you were to just eat your plant material, you wouldn’t get high.

   THC is soluble in oil at ROOM TEMPERATURE. Heating just speeds up the process. So if you’re not a fan of butter and/or don’t have a crockpot, you can just throw your stash in oil~

   Ok, so what butter do I use?

   Anything. Try to get butter with the highest fat content.

   How much butter and cannabis do I use?

   However much you need. Think about saturation, the more butter you use vs plant material, the less potent the butter will be. For example, can drop a quarter of cannabis in a half quart of butter. You’ll get a great product. Or you can use a dime bag of weed and a half quart of butter, and you’ll get buzzed if you’re lucky.

   So how do I do it bro?!

   The goal of saturating the butter with THC is to “cook” it at the lowest temperature possible. SLOW AND LOW IS THE TEMPO. If your butter is boiling, you’re losing THC. Heating just speeds up the process(with risk!), so it’s not really required. NEVER SAUTEE/COOK YOUR BUTTER in a frying pan. If it’s frying, IT’S DYING. Just say no!

   Easiest method is to use a crockpot. Crank it to LOW and put your butter inside. Let the butter melt, then add the plant material. Make sure it’s submerged, anything floating above won’t be absored(duh). Let it sit on LOW for 12 HOURS. Yes, TWELVE HOURS. You want all the THC so be absorbed, and at such a low temperature it’s going to take some time. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.

   You can mimic the procedure with a pot on your stove, but I wouldn’t fall asleep with your stove on!

   
   

   After the allotted time, strain the plant material from the butter. Make sure to squeeze out any liquid from the cannabis. Put the butter in a container and let it sit in the fridge until solidified. You can throw away the leftover cannabis, or let it dry and smoke that bitch. It won’t be as potent, but why waste anything?
   

   How do I know it’s fire shit?

   Easy. The more potent the butter, the greener it’ll be. Yes, your once yellow butter will actually turn GREEN. If it’s a consistent green throughout, you’ve done an amazing job. If there are different shades of green, like a gradient(light to dark), it’s still potent – but not completely saturated(the dark green on the bottom is actually sediment from the plant material).

   How does it look once it’s all done?

   

   And that’s it! You’ve got yourself a batch of butter that’ll knock your stoner socks off.

   Stay regular super stoners~

2. Oz Cannabis Grower/Tincture Maker: The Medicine Will Continue:

   Just days after a police raid, Bower — an Australian medical marijuana grower and tincture maker — is undeterred and has assured his patients that their supply of medicinal cannabis tincture will be uninterrupted. According to Bower, the director of Mullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd in New South Wales, anonymous donors have donated cannabis plants to keep the operation going.

   “I would like to thank those people who have kindly donated plants and supplies to help the medicine to continue,” Bower said on Wednesday. “People need the medicine. I don’t want anyone to be worried or stressed. The medicine will continue to be there for them.”

   Mullaways tincture — which contains high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids, but very low levels of THC, the primary marijuana ingredient that gets you high, does not have a psychoactive effect on the seriously ill patients who use it.

   “The medical cannabis tincture does not get people stoned,” Bower explained. “It is non-psychotropic and is not open to misuse.”

4. Australian Police Seize Medical Cannabis; Reach New Low:

   The New South Wales Police have hit a new low by descending in an expensive taxpayer-funded operation with a police helicopter and confiscated a medical cannabis crop intended for patients. The crop was a strain of cannabis bred specifically to be extracted into a medical tincture.

   Each of the plants had been labelled for specific patients, according toMullaways Medical Cannabis Pty Ltd. “Through the confiscation of this medical cannabis crop, the NSW Police have deprived many Australians of their medicine,” Mullaways said. ”It is a form of discrimination against sufferers of chronic illness and pain who need this medicine — medical cannabis.”

   More than 300 chronically ill and dying patients will now be deprived of this indispensable medicine used for the relief of pain and suffering.

   Many of the patients have been using Mullaways Medical Cannabis Tincture for years and have letters of support from their doctors to use it. According to Mullaways, it is the only company in Australia providing medical cannabis.
