Hi CC,

I will use just about double shake for anything I would use bud for in cooking. I always strain out the stems etc..and weigh things post straining. Cannot answer your question about freezing though.

Cannabutter might be the best way to get the most out of your extra stems; let it simmer and you should be able to get the thc seperated, then strain through cheesecloth or something. I know there are several recipes for it in this forum.

I LOVE eating weed and will choose it over any other way hands down.

PS IMHO "trim" is what's cut away etc from the buds and "shake" is the rest of the leaves etec...
