The fire you used to "cook" your cannabutter was probably way too hot and burnt away all the THC from your buds. Read some of the tutorials in the recipie section and next time,,, you might want to use your's or someone elses stove/crock pot.

your fire wasnt hot enough. the weed should be at least browned before you are done cooking it.

remember. the weed needs to turn brown.

My first attempt at cannabutter was a big success.
The fallback was after eating my brownies, 2hrs later everyone had to take a nap.

I cooked mine for 4 hours on a low heat, it turned dark green.
I believe the longer cooking time helps break down the plant fibers and the THC can more easily bind to the fat.


I'm a noobie so take it for what its worth.
Better Luck in the future.

Second batch, very sleepy stuff.
I may need to work on the filtering.
