Weed Butter

Weed butter can be made with fairly simple equipment and skill. However, it is recommend you are familiar with working in the kitchen before attempting this recipe, and that you follow basic kitchen safety procedures should anything go not as planned. Naturally, your kitchen will smell like weed (and butter) after you cook this, so make sure you know how to air out the kitchen to get rid of the smell.
You’ll need the following ingredients and equipment:
A double boiler or two pots (If you are using two pots to make your cannabis butter, fill the larger, bottom pot with water and use the top pot to melt the butter)
Cheesecloth (or other extremely fine strainer—DON’T use a regular pasta strainer, you need something very fine)
Butter (Sticks are easiest when working with ratios, but you can also use cups from a tub of butter)
Water (For the double boiler and butter/weed mixture)
Weed or other cannabinoids
A note regarding the weed butter ratio: The amount of weed (or other cannabinoids) and butter that you need depends on how potent you want the weed butter. A general ratio to go by is this – a “light,” or lightly potent batch of weed butter requires 3/4 of an ounce of weed to 5 sticks of butter. Use this weed butter ratio if you want to make weed butter that is more potent, and remember to add sticks of butter as you add more weed, or the butter will be overpowered by the cannabis and taste very unpleasant.
