hm found this recipe Marijuana Recipes: PROFESSOR TEE'S MIRACLE TINCTURE

uses honey and WATER but also in stead of water alcohol can be used..

but many honey slide recipes like this one: International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - HONEY SLIDES...quick and easy!

call for using butter and honey not just honey.. so maybe Neil meant 'to cook the weed with some small amount of butter" in the pan before mixing in with honey, like you would cook a stir fry for example with a small amount of olive oil or butter?

just some thoughts..
