Grind the marijuana:

• Let the cannabis cool a little; you don’t want to burn yourself.
• Then, using a hand grinder, coarsely grind the marijuana you have described. You want a coarse setting, as too fine of a grind can introduce off-flavors to your butter.

Combining the ingredients and infusing:

• Add butter to the cup of water in a saucepan or a stockpot.
• Melt the butter on low heat.
• Water is needed when melting butter because it helps regulate the temperature. This helps to stop your butter from scorching.
• Add the ground marijuana once the butter has started melting.
• Maintain low heat and simmer the contents in the pot for about 2 to 3 hours.
• Make sure to stir the butter occasionally.
• Keep an eye on the butter. You do not want it to burn.

Strain the cannabutter

• Once the butter has been infused, remove it from the heat.
• Get a bowl or something to store it in
• Pour the infusion out of the pot, through the filter, and into the bowl. Make sure the holes in the filter are smaller than the ground marijuana.
• When the butter has been strained, put it in the fridge to harden.
• When it hardens, the excess water will separate from the butter.
• Remove the excess water and store your Cannabis butter in the fridge.

Cannabutter can last up to three weeks in the fridge if you store it properly. If you made a large batch, you could store it in the freezer for up to six months.

Dosing your cannabutter

The next important part of making Cannabutter is to know your dosage. The correct dosage will determine how strong your Cannabutter is.

Dosing will depend on many factors. The most obvious factor is the potency of your marijuana strain. If you want a potent weed butter, use a potent strain of marijuana. If you want Cannabis butter with limited potency, try infusing the butter with a less potent strain.

If you are preparing a large batch of Cannabis butter, use a larger quantity of marijuana. This is especially important if you are working with a less potent strain of marijuana. Some strains can be so potent that you must use limited quantities to make huge quantities of butter.

don’t use too much marijuana in your butter. There is only so much that the butter can absorb. At a certain point, you are just wasting weed.
