Stomach Ache? Clean Method?

Hey ive searched around these forums & they are great

When i make my hash flapjacks i get trapped wind from them

Would making cannabutter with the clean method on this site help prevent this?

Im thinking it may have been the hash as you don't strain when you use hash, or maybe i didn't cook for long enough in the butter as the flapjacks only go in the oven for 15 minutes. I was wondering at the time if i should cook the hash in the butter for longer?

I get the same reaction from eating hemp protein or hemp seeds, so i hope its just a rough plant material problem & straining the butter will get rid of this problem

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have some issues with ingestion too. I have difficulty with most raw product.

I've found that making budder using washed herb, helps. after the budder solidifies and I remove it from the water, I bring it to a boil a second time with equal part water, and let it solidify again. this really helps wash out the solids.

I made some tinc and added some keif. made me sick. so I made the tinc into budder, which extracted all the good stuff, strained it, straining out the trich solids, and the budder was fine, made terrific medicated brownie bites with it, no stomach problem.

im gonna use cofee filters to strain so i should def get all solids out & ill definately use the cleaning tech as im sure itll be worth it in the end

when you reboil the butter do the solids extract into the water each time?

would you think its best to do it 2-3 times to get all the bad bits out?


thanks

coffee filters are too fine. try food-grade SHORTENING or GREASE filter cones available at restaurant supply. about $9 for 50 10" cone filters. They're very worth it!

yes, if reboil, stir, then strain a second time, the water soluable chemicals and any solids left should go away.

each time you do the heating process, you run the risk of loosing the more volatil oils in the extraction, and damaging the thc and other beneficial chemicals.

personally, I'd only do it twice. for me I'm finding twice is enough.

here's a simple medible recipe for you.


one quality chocolate bar. I use endangered species milk chocolate with 48% cocoa for the medicinal benefits.

I break up the bar into the top of a double boiler (I use a smalller stainless pot inside a larger one with hot water). Put equal amount (by weight) of budder, melt together and stir. remove from heat as soon as all solids melted, and allow to cool some. stir well.

I pour about 1/2 tblspn into mini-muffin tins and put in freezer. frozen they pop out much easier. store in fridge or freezer. I eat 1/4 to 1/2 every 2-4 hours. start with 1/4 and do not take any more for at least 2 hours to see how you do.

thanks for the advice & the recipie, i can't seem to find any of those filters on a UK website though, im hoping cheesecloth will work okay?

last night i just made lots of peppermint & lemon tea & it helped with the gas alot

thanks

yes, several layers of cheesecloth is just fine.

if you find the grease cones, turn one inside out, put two together with the seams inside, and on opposite sides. this makes a strong filter that wont separate at thhe seams as easily as usning onlly one.

if you do this very often, you can make your own reuseable filters out of muslin -- which I will be doing.

I also use a potato ricer to help press out the rest of the oil trapped with the herb after squeezing and wringing as much as I can with my hands.

if you don't know what one is, look it up on wikipedia, they have a good picture.

Yeh, dat one worked real good for me while I was recovering from surgery. Kept me high, medicated, and pain manageable. Problem happened when I got up & found out I'd put 10 pounds on. Most chocolate is lottsa fat. Butter is all fat once you clarify it. (you do, don't you?). I found that if I used recipes that were already in my diet and used cannabutter instead of the un-doctored stuff I could keep my recovery on track and manage my weight and cholesterol.
A good trick I found was using an olive oil infusion instead of butter. About 30ml in my morning smoothie and the day was mine. Less calories, better for your arteries and opens up more options for usage.
