It work without extracting to butter, but it's not as potent and doesn't taste as good. When you bake a cake or brownies or something, there is enough fat mixed in with the batter to absorb some THC.
Extracting to butter just gives you a better end product because you don't have uneeded plant material and the fat has direct contact with the bud. Greater surface to mass ratio with it's sitting in the fat, than sitting in a mixture containing fat.
I say do whatever works for ya.
benagain Reviewed by benagain on . Can't you add the raw weed into the brownie mix? Hello, My sister makes me brownies and all she does is just add the raw weed into the brownie mix. She puts the mix into the cup cake paper thingies, then puts about a pinch of weed into each cup cake holder, and mixes each brownie-cupcake individually with a toothpick. One time, she made what she claimed were "potent brownies" and my brother and i each had 2 of these brownies and we were high for at least 6 hours (i think it was around 8) and it was magical.-don't know what kind of weed Rating: 5
