well, if you did 3/4 oz to 5 sticks butter, that would be a reason right there. you would need to eat about a 1/4 stick of the butter afterwards to catch a good buzz from that amount of weed...

I made 1/2 cup of budbutter, but I used about 2 grams of bubblehash...the resulting butter needed no straining, and was translucent green in color...and I can definitely tell you it works. although I don't bother with any recipes or cookies...my wife would find them, and she would eat half the batch and end up WRECKED (cause she smokes nothing at all) I just spread some hot toast with the budbutter, and it tastes fine enough to me to eat like that. if you can stomach the taste (I like to chew on stems while I smoke, so I like the flavor) try just toast with cannabutter on it, see if that gets you high at all.
