One tip only,
use a crock-pot on low. no water at all. chlorophyll isn't oil soluble(I don't think) so you shouldn't be worried about that. I've done about 40 recipes thus far, everything from rice Krispie treats to alfrado cheese sauce. The secret to potency as I see it is: duration,temp & sat. fat.
I do 12Hrs crockpot on low and ground up well. then strain with cheesecloth. one brownie and your good.
I should also mention that my neighbor trades me 1/8 of good for 2 brownies(thats how potent)
Hi Smoking Monkey
I just wanted to add a couple more things that might help.
Firstly, don't let yourself be talked out of using coconut oil, as it's one of the best conductors of THC you can use.
I've covered the 'why' many times now in previous posts, but I can understand that the technical reasons might go over the heads of some people, however for those who are interested, here it is again:
"The human metabolism is much more effective in 'digesting' the 'short-chain fatty acids' of saturated fats like Coconut oil and clarified butter, than it is of monounsaturated fats like olive oil.
Therefore, a much higher percentage of your dissolved THC will reach your bloodstream. Often by a magnitude of 4x (or more). As a result, you'll only need a quarter of the amount of weed to achieve the same effects (assuming you extract it properly, of course)."
For those people that might think this is 'gobbeldy goop' (sic), try working out the maths:
Would you rather buy 4 or 5 grams of Mexican at say. . .$30, mix it with olive oil and get one hit,
or, use 1 gram for $6 and buy a jar of coconut oil for $7 (which will last you years) and get the same results?
Hey, just to be clear, I've got nothing against olive oil (or the people who use it lol), but (as someone who knows a bit about cannabis cooking), I can't really recommend it to you.
Lastly, regarding the grinding up of your bud, I saw these on ebay and thought they looked promising. There's a screen between the first and second chamber to filter out the grains making them ideal for cooking.
Anyhow (which ever way you try) good luck with it.
Cheers :jointsmile:
p.s. good method by the way Zcomp
So Z are you saying you dump the solid residue when you strain it? You only use the oil part?Quote:

thanks for any tips. :)
I use a simple hand herb grinder.
and yes I do discard the spent plant material. It only contains as much THC as a few drops of the oil still stuck.
I also use most of my stems(no seeds) along with what ever bud I can spare(1/8-1/4oz).
also I'll note that I have used the "water double boiler" method and the straight "oil over a flame" method. None work as good as the crockpot.
flameon your are misleading the public again.
oils high in saturated fats ARE ABSORBED BY THE BODY QUICKER, but are not absorbed more effectivley.
you imply that using oil high in saturated fats will give you more thc then if you use oils without that much saturated fat. that is wrong.
the only thing that oils high in saturated fats do for us is to allow the thc to be absorbed quicker, but the amount of absorbtion is the same with all oils.
for all you people out there...... it is incorrect to believe that oils high in saturated fats give your more thc then other oils. this is false. saturated fats are simply absorbed quicker and easier by our bodies, but the amount is no different.
weather you use oil high in saturated fats or not, you will still get the same dose of thc. with the saturated fats, the dose is quicker digested though.
which means its over quicker too.
use oilve oil. you digestive tract will thank you.
"Quicker" is a relative term. Quicker than 1-2 hours, isn't really that quick. Cut that down to say 30 mins we are still talking slow. Two hits I'm high in 15 secs, thats quuicker.
bogo....I've tried both. I prefer coconut oil. Hands down.
Zcomp....thanks for the tips about cooking. ;)
Oh bogoljub, bogoljub, bogoljub (flameon sadly shakes his head).Quote:

Look, Iâ??m sorry if you canâ??t (or are deliberately refusing), to understand the answers Iâ??ve given to you on this question (how many times is it now, 4, 5?).
Iâ??m also sorry you feel so â??threatenedâ?? that someone else cooks weed differently to you, that you have to resort to these immature outbursts.
I hope youâ??ll forgive this, but seeing as youâ??ve previously posted abuse directed at me, my country, its weather, its food and its troops, Iâ??m sure youâ??ll understand that Iâ??m tired of â??politelyâ?? humouring you.
So, whatâ??s it going to take for you to stop stalking my posts and â??trollingâ?? me?
How about if I agree to say that:
â??The best way to cook weed is to dip it in olive oil chuck it in a frying pan and blitz it for five minutesâ??, NO, no, scratch that,
â??The Only way to cook weed is to blitz it in a frying pan for five minutes, and anyone who does it differently is a liar and stupidâ???
How about that, would that make you happy?
Hereâ??s a revolutionary thought for you (I hope your sitting down, and holding on to something solid â?? your head maybe, lol), instead of spending so much time and energy trying to invent ways to prove that your right, (despite not understanding, or knowing, the first thing about: the digestion process, short, medium and long chain fatty acids, bile salts and emulsification, triglycerides, chylomicrons or the human lymphatic system), why not . . wait for it. . . actually try a different method?
Who knows you might be surprised, it could even work.
P.S. Did you know the Earth is round and NOT flat, or shall we argue about that next?
preference is a personal choice.....but old flameon wants to be the right one. and im telling you, your implication that oils high in saturated fats will give everyone a greater buzz. that is patently false.
like i said, oils high in saturated fats are absorbed quicker then other fats, compared to monononsaturated fat like is found in olive oil.
but the amount of absorbtion is the same.
for me, when i use olive oil, the onset of the high is faily quick. its not lightening, but its fairly quick.
going to great lenghts to support the use of oils high in saturated fats, which offer nothing more then a slight advantage in the area of rate of absorbition, it dosent deserve the pedestool that flameon has put it on.
it really dosent. oilve oil deserves the pedestool. its practical, commonly available, and healthy. and it allows your body to absorb the thc in no less amount then other oils. these random hard to find specific oils are not that practical, and dont offer some great advantage over other oils.
i switched from common butter to oil on account that common butter is hard to cook with and strain.
but even that worked just fine when i cooked brownies. that worked too well.
the point im getting at, is that you can have the same quality expierence without having to find some obsucre oil and if oyu dont have it you just cant get high when eating weed. that is false.
