Sober Cook

Hello to anyone out there sober enough to respond. My problem is this: I have never tried eating my bud before, but after visiting this forum I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. Now my first attempts at this were pitiful. I browned some ground up bud in some butter over the stove, but I am sure I burnt it, as I did the second time in the microwave with a little oil. These were both done following the instructions of some random pot sites on the net. Which brought me here. Now my third attempt at this I decided to make a little cannabutter, nowhere near a few lbs or oz. worth. I had probably enough for two joints ground up nicely by a pair of scissors which I threw into a saucepan with some water and butter. I boiled this for about half an hour, maybe longer, strained it into a bowl, threw it into the fridge and waited. After a while I grew impatient, threw it into the freezer for a while and then took it out only to find the water underneath had frozen and was attached to the butter. Oh well, down it all goes. I was sure I would feel something this time. Alas, I got more of a buzz on a stupid glass of wine like five hours later, after I had given up on my precious cannabutter. Ok, at this point I was more than a little discouraged, as my supply was down to about a heaping teaspoon of ground up bud. Sorry, don't know how many grams that is. But apparently it wasn't enough, coz I browned that last teaspoon and a half in two and a half tablespoons of butter over a double boiler this time (I was being extra cautious ...no direct heat, paying careful attention to cooking time, smell, appearance, etc...) The butter started turning an appropriate green, the smell was nice and toasty, and I thought I had finally done it. Seeing as how some posters here seemed to have pretty good luck with this simple butter spread on toast, that is what I had, two slices of toast actually, and I spread all of the butter on them...and still, nothing. It's now 5 p.m. the next day, I am more than certain a buzz won't be hitting me anytime soon, and I just wanted some tips or input into what the hell it is I am doing wrong. Help me out please. Or mail me something good!! Thanks

CanaButter is pretty easy to make. But very messy.
Get 4oz of ground up leaf or 1/4oz (at least) of Budd (if you grow your own).
1 cube of REAL butter (Has to be real butter).
1 big cooking pot
Fill the cooking pot 3/4 full of water, Bring to a boil. Add the butter, after it melts completely out the weed in. Bring to a boil again. Turn the heat down to simmer, let simmer for 1 hour. Checking on it once in a while.
After 1 hr of simmering, drain the water off. At this point all of the Canabutter is in the wet weed. I use thick rubber gloves. You have to ring out the hot butter into a bowl. You can try a colinder or something but keep ringing untill you get your cube of butter back. It will be very green. Put it in the fridge over night. pull the butter out of the bowl, dump the water out scrape offthe crap on the bottem of the butter then you have a nice green piece of Canabutter.
I use about 1/4 of this to make 1 pan of ricecrispy treats and eat 1/4 of that.
The high is very intense and last a good 8-12 hrs.

Thanks for the help Stedd. I can see from your recipe where I went wrong the first few times...cooking it on a rolling boil, not ringing the butter out of my leaves, not to mention I probably needed more pot than a few teaspoons. But today I made some banana muffins and mixed about two teaspoons of ground up herb into two muffins worth of batter. I also browned a small bud (ground up) in butter, added that to the two muffins, and baked them along with the regular muffins. I ate these,followed by toast smeared with butter and sprinkled with herb. And nothing! Shit, I am discouraged to say the least. Actually about two hours after the muffins I felt something for about ten-fifteen minutes tops. I kid you not, it was definately a different feeling than being sober, but it never really took off, then it just vanished completely after about twenty minutes. I thought I was hallucinating from hunger ( I did not eat anything all day until 10 p.m. to make sure my stomach was empty as hell. Nothing folks, just water and some Cherry Coke, I was starving when those muffins were done!) I think I have given up on eating my bud. But I am interested in making some Green Dragon or a marijuana tincture. I'll be using 100 proof vodka, and putting in about four buds that are about 2 1/2 inches each and about two teaspoons of ground up bud. Should this be enough if I leave it for three weeks? Oh, and do you really have to shake it every day? I'll be out of town in a week so I was wondering if I could just shake it everyday for this week, then leave it alone starting this SUnday. Would it still be potent? Could I just come back on the third week and shake the hell out of it to make up for lost time? I figure this has got to be more of a sure thing than cooking where I could fuck up on cooking time, temperature, etc...atleast with Green Dragon I just let it marinate itself. Anyone know how potent this mix is? Will I DEFINATELY feel something that third or fourth week? Lord, don't let this be a waste of my herb again. lol. Oh well, gotta try atleast once, right? THanks again for answering so quickly Stedd. Never call potheads lazy, man.

After all your bad luck, you must try CC the tap dancing chef's Egyptian lentil soup. She uses 6 grams, even 2 works for me. Stirring it well in the oil seems to be the key, as it were. Watch her vid in the shake and bake archives, and get the recipe from earlier posts here.

Thanks JRR. Man, you people sure are quick with the answers. I likes, I likes. :) Anywho, I have decided to try that recipe JRR, the measurements are just what I was looking for. And I figure at the very least, a proper meal should be more satisfying than weed sprinkled on toast. (Although, in all honesty, I have acquired quite a taste for our sweet, sweet ganja after all my experiments.) I am also going to try to make a small batch of Green Dragon in one of those small little bottles of alcohol with just two buds. That way I can take it with me on the trip and can shake daily as needed. What do you guys think? Will it work? Well, I'm off to find out:) Thanks for the soup idea JR. I'll let you know how it turned out.
I gotta say, you people are a lot of help. My friend, when she found out I was attempting to make Green Dragon, told me to try a shot of Nyquil if I wanna feel a little "out of it" and get some sleep as well. Needless to say, she was met with blank stares. Take care all, good luck with the culinary adventures.

Hey folks, I just wanted to tell you all that I did try making CC the tap dancing chef's Egyptian Lentil Soup last night after my final exam at 9p.m. I made it with 1/8 of bud, chopped up, instead of the 6 grams CC has in the recipe. It was roughly 3.5 grams of bud, all in all. Well, I had a bowl and a half ( I was famished, by the way) and it tasted pretty good. No funky pot smell if you don't like that kind of thing. (Again, I don't mind the smell of pot) For the first couple of hours I thought nothing was happening, but I ended up knocking out in front of the television around 3 a.m. Didn't even have time to enjoy the buzz, I was so tired from a day of exams. Slept like a fuckin' log. My roommate woke me up around 8 in the morning going to class and I was pretty much incoherent, from tiredness and the pot. Ofcourse as soon as I woke up (two hours ago) I reached for the soup for breakfast, and now I'm pretty much gone. Real nice and mellow buzz, not similar to smoking at all, and I can actually enjoy it this time,having slept my ass off already. So thanks JRR for suggesting the recipe, and to CC the tap dancing chef for putting it out there. So this is what you guys have been goin on about in the cooking forum! I believe I have a new obsession. Keep the ideas coming.

my favorite way nto eat bud is to just eat it. i sit in class and just munch on ganja. i just keep it in my mouth like a peice of hrd candy. it gets me stoned to. throughout a day i had a little less than a dime in my bag, ate it all, by the end of school i was baked. u should try it. not with schwaggy schwag though--uwww. when u'v got some stepdown atleast, give it a try. even better is if u smoke while u eat bud... cause u get a lil high, then later on instead of bei ng burnt u get the nice eating stobne.
makin me hungry...and i'm down to my last bowl :-(
