It is easier when you grow. I have a medical license and we were growing for a while. When we cropped, we were left with a lot of "scraps" anything you wouldn't smoke. I took half of it (shake, stems, underdev.buds) and cooked it into half pound of butter and then drained it and put it in a margerine container in the BACK of the fridge with a lable and did the same with veg. oil. I just pulled them out whenever I wanted and used them over a course of a year. It was great. Makes great holiday gifts for fellow smokers too.
Brownies, choc, chip cookies, all cookies, banana bread (our favorite), and so on. The bananas are so sweet that it tastes wonderful and my husband had me make this for him all the time.
