alright im gonna try that, but i seem to be quite confused as to how microwaves and weed interact. Why cant you just say, put it on a cracker, put a slice of butter on the cracker, cook till the butter melts, and eat? why do you have to freeze it? i should probably understand these things before wasting much more of my stuff. If noone wants to explain it all, id be just as happy if i was pointed to a website/ebook that did.
ok well as aforewarning as stated before i've never really gotten into any of this just picked up shit here and there and have a pretty good understanding of this so you might want to cross refrence this but i will go on as i am an expert on the matter lol. the cracker theory won't work becasue you need to cook the weed in the butter because the butter holds the released (released by heat) active ingredients. becasue THC is fat soulable (butter being a very versatile tool in cooking becuase of all the food it can be used in/on and the fact it's mostly comprised of fat) it catches the active ingredients instead of just releasing the vaporized product into the air. as for the freezer you don't have to that's just to cut down the cooling time..you don't want to freeze it, just bring it back to a solidified state like it was before you melted it.Quote:

well you do need to cook it in the butter first, to release the active ingredients into the butter...but yes it shoudl work....simmering it in the butter in the microwave (once the butter starts to boil) for a couple of minutes should do it, or if you get the chance by stove atleast 10 minutes if not 20
Quit using the microwave. The bud has to simmer in the butter on low heat for at least 30 minutes to get all the THC out of it.
If you're a grower you can also throw in the leaves, simmer it, and filter through a cheese cloth. The butter will be greenish.
You can also just get a pan, heat it up, throw the bud on it and cook it. But this takes practice, it took me a couple months to do this without burning the bud. This is my preffered way of doing it, since the THC is already activated, you can put it into anything you want. After I cook mine I like to put it in ice cream.
alright, thanks both of you. First of all, im not sure how to get something to simmer in a microwave, but im going to try gravereapers idea as soon as a get an hour or two for cooking.
yea stove method is best because it's the only one that i've ever seen that is reliable and simmer just simply is when something is boiling very lowly (not big bubbles but alooooooooooooooot of little ones and maybe some steam) but you asked about microwaves so i did my best to provide you wtih a method that would work, but i too would suggest just doing it on the stove....and simmering on a stove is a lot easier then in a microwave....with stove you wait til it boils then turn it on low and just make sure it dont' burn...wtih microwave you have to get it to boil stop it reduce the power drasticly (50% or less) and make sure it don't burn just by the smell it's putting of because you can't really stop it every three seconds and check it or it would never get done. good luck, and make sure you got a friend or something watching out a window or something so if you parents do pull up you can hide everything under your bed until you can do something else with it.
fucking hell buddy just smoke that shit. Just go out somehwere for a walk or something.
maybe he wants to cook it? because it is a diffrent high. maybe he can't smoke it for medical reasons? you know there are people out there that are so allergic to smoke that they end up coughing so bad they can't breathe when they get around ANY kinda smoke. i had a friend like that, he had to stand atleast 10 feet away when we were outside and i was smoking or he'd turn red from coughing so much....same thing happend wtih weed and just plain old barbecue smoke.....
thank you those were basically my reasons, mostly because im actually high for about an hour when i smoke it, but when i eat it it goes like 12 hours and i like the high better.
