BobBong,

And everyone else who has posted useful info on these forums, Thank You!

I use anywhere between 7-15 grams of marijuana per stick of butter. Yes, I make single stick batches. If the marijuana is good, 7 grams is used. If the marijuana is of poor quality, I use more.

Double boilers and Crock pots, if you have them and it is working, great, keep using them.

I have a stovetop that has a warmer pad. On the "low" setting it keeps my butter/herb/water mixture at a nice 170-180 degrees. This temp works very well for me. Most vaporizers on the market operate at around 374 degrees. So with this knowledge, keep your temps lower than this. When baking, I usually set the oven to 280 degrees and adjust my time accordingly. My brownies will bake in the oven for about and hour to and hour and fifteen minutes. Oven temperatures have been known to vary up to 50 degrees in either direction, so be safe and go low.

20-24 hours really makes a huge difference in the quality of your end product. The conversion of THC into the CBN's/CBD's really comes out. Having that heavier more pronounced high is extremely effective in relieving muscle and joint pains as well as a variety of other ailments that follow along with Auto Immune Disorders.

Portion size requires you to be safe and experiment to your needs and likes. The brownies (any store/brand/box/bag, I like the ones with the Hershey syrup packs) that I make, requires a piece about the size of your thumb (I use an 8x8 pan and yield about 36 pieces). This portion is great for daily consumption. If my pains are worse than normal I double it, but usually end up staying in the house laughing at various dust bunnies and trying to maintain some form of coherent thought.

Filtering should be an extra step to Bob??s recipe. This is as simple as placing your finished butter back into fresh water and melting. For example:

Heat 2-3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Remove water from burner.
Add solid cannabutter and allow to melt.
Return pan to ??low? setting burner.
Stir frequently over the next half hour.
Place pan in fridge to solidify.
Repeat as desired with fresh water.

I have rinsed up to 3 times and found no use to go a fourth. This process has reduced the ??green/chlorophyll? flavor considerably and it also lightens the color of the cannabutter. This really does work, either that, or I am just used to it that I never notice it. Try it and see for yourself.

As always, be safe, be smart and enjoy this amazing plant.
