Is there still some room for me on this bandwagon?

First, a question for Stinkyattic, who is worshipped as a minor deity by all right-thinking people: In the OP, you say to "repeat the heating & shaking process" for the two "washes" after the initial extraction. Should each of those washes last ~2 hours? I got a little impatient on those & only gave the first wash about 1 1/2 hours & the second wash one hour.

There was very little change in the color. I saved a bit of butter from each stage to compare, & I couldn't really tell them apart either by color or flavor.

I also tasted the water at each stage. The water from the initial extraction was fairly vile, but not nearly as bad I expected - actually, it reminded me of Cynar or one of those European herbal digestifs. The water from the first wash had very little flavor, color or cloudiness; the second even less (still had some taste & cloudiness).

You are meant to toss the plant matter after the initial extraction/straining/squeezing, aren't you? I did.

Anyway. ~1 oz dried fan leaves & 1/2 oz vapo-poo into ~7 oz haphazardly clarified butter (Plugra); ~3 hours @ simmer in a small slow-cooker for the initial extraction, then the 2 washes - mason jar/water bath. Straining tek - fine mesh stainless, then nylon hose & a lime squeezer (in lieu of a potato ricer).

Didn't know what to expect re potency at all. This was my first plant since '92 & was just grown like a houseplant in the window. This was also my first use of vapo-poo. The butter is fairly dark green & tastes distinctly grassy (in both senses). I like the flavor.

Yesterday afternoon (empty stomach) I ate a tablespoon of it spread on a biscuit.

Disassembled. ratfucked. I was walking home while I was peaking, & especially while walking up a very steep hill, I had the very strong sensation that I was sort of floating still, & my feet were pushing the earth behind me as I "walked."

Of course according to Einstein that's a perfectly reasonable way of looking at walking.

I'm fairly experienced with edibles, too. I had been using store-bought cannabutter, & then I became a tincture fanatic.

Good stuff!!!
