it needs to be heated to a certain degree to activate the THC. and i think it's supposed to go into a lipid

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

It doesn't need to go into a lipid. You can just put like an eighth of weed into some tinfoil in the oven, bake it and then throw it into a coffee grinder and stir it into chocolate.

Chocolate will get you totally toasted, but your shit will smell like weed the next day.

Gives instructions for putting it in a lipid

Or pour it on your tongue and wash it down with water, up to you. You don't need anything else, but it's going to be hard to choke down without mixing it in something.

  1. I just thought it was funny that you claimed that you don't need to mix weed with fat, then immediately suggested a recipe mixing weed with fat

  2. Trying to eat weed without mixing it with a fat would be not only unpleasant flavor-wise, it would be a huge waste of weed. The compounds in weed that get you high are much more bioavailable when they're in the presence of fats. So, loosely speaking, you kinda do need to mix it with fat if you're gonna eat it, unless you're okay with large amounts of wasted weed and money

Doesn't it just bind to the fat in the chocolate?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I am wondering about distillates/concentrates, personally. Many of them are edible as is, as they got decarboxylated during extraction using a hot method instead of a cold one. Do they have any fats in them? You don't need to put them in something with fat; you can put it in tea or just eat the goo by itself (it's kinda gross but you can do it and get high). I've made live resin myself a few times using a hot press, and I did not add anything extra to have decent smokable stuff, but I never tried to eat it and I don't know if the shit you get at a dispensary in a cart or glass tin is just the pure goo from the plant any nothing else, or if they mix it with stuff.

The overuse of the word shit made me take a second to realise you meant actual shit and you weren't saying that your oven and house in general will somehow start smelling more weed-like after a 24 hour period post bake.

Just do this 🤙

Gummies

	1.	Place 1 cup cannabis in a ball jar with lid finger tight
	2.	Add 2 cups water to pressure cooker
	3.	Place interface between glass jar and metal of pressure cooker.
	4.	Use “Manual” button and set to high pressure for 40 minutes
	5.	Let pressure naturally release
	6.	Add 1 cup of fat (coconut oil, butter, avocado oil etc) to jar with cannabis
	7.	Place back in pressure cooker as before- Manual, high, 40 mins
	8.	Let pressure naturally release
	9.	Strain out cannabis. I have used various methods but I believe using a French press (for coffee) is the simplest and cleanest

This fat can now be consumed and will get you high

Gummies recipe 
I use refined coconut oil for the extraction for this recipe

In a small pot, combine
-1/2 cup cold water
-2 tablespoons of cannabis infused coconut oil
-6 tablespoons regular coconut oil 
-1/4 teaspoon soy lecithin powder (this is necessary as it allows oil and water to mix; also helps absorption of THC into the body. 
Heat on LOW heat. Mixture can not boil
Slowly add:
-3oz (small) pack of jell-o
-3 envelopes of Knox gelatin
Mix/stir by hand for 10 minutes

Pour into mold or nonstick pan and let set in freezer for 20-30 mins 

Remove from mold, consume, and blast off.

Is the first cool to decarb?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I just make warm chocolate milk, let the weed stay in there for a bit while heating up, then strain and enjoy. I quite like the grassy undertone in the milk.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours ago

Yes my friend made this once and it was the most disgusting thing ever.
Also so strong we'd have a shot and get knocked out.
Could those two be related? We'll never know.

Shoulda decarbed in butter first

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You don't need to decarb in anything, just heat the bud up and you can eat it. The butter is for extraction.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Heating up is for decarboxylization.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I said the goal, they replied with the technique.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 34 minutes ago (1 children)

They replied pointing out that the butter is unnecessary, the heat is the part that's needed for decarboxylation

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 minutes ago

But OP wants to cook it into eggs, and that needs butter anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah exactly. Sometimes I decarb buds and just throw it in pill capsules, no extraction necessary.

Cannabutter is the right answer here

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (4 children)

That would solve the problem about not getting high, but cannabutter still tastes pretty bad. That's why it's usually hidden in baked goods with stronger flavors like chocolate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Not really, if you do it properly there is almost 0 taste difference.

After infusing the butter and filtering it through a cheesecloth or coffee filter you have to put it in a pot of boiling water, use at least 5 times more water than cannabutter. Stir it thoroughly for a few minutes, then let it first cool down to room temperature and then put it in the fridge. Since THC is only soluble in fat but not water it will stay inside the butter, but much of the plant material like chlorophyll is water soluble and will get dissolved in the water during this process. In the fridge the butter will solidify on top of the water and you can remove it from the water to have your clarified butter that tastes almost like regular butter

[–] felixwhynot 1 points 2 hours ago

I used to put it on toast and sandwiches so,,, to each their own I guess

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Mine is delicious, but it's the only one I've ever tasted. Maybe I'm weird, maybe I'm some kind of culinary prodigy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

I could share the recipe I used...

Decarbed with the water bath method: https://www.sousweed.com/blog/decarb

Then used this recipe: https://www.sousweed.com/blog/2015/6/13/sous-vide-cannabis-butter

I used 10g girl scout cookies for 500g butter

I thought it would be too weak but throwing 10g of the cannabutter into my risotto made me fly to Venus for about eight hours and I'm not sure what exactly happened in that time. I visited friends apparently, but I only know because they told me. Hallucinations of sheep everywhere!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Steak is also excellent at hiding the flavour.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Do you use the butter in the pan to cook the meat? I would think that either wastes the product or the steak.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Nar melt some and poor it over the steak. It absorbs it as it rests.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

It's usually used when searing the steak. You add it near the end of the cooking as to not burn the butter. You use it to baste the steak (shovel the melted butter/oil over it to cook it more evenly on both sides).

[–] ArbiterXero 55 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Clearly he was missing the ham.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 12 hours ago

indeed, the ham is the most important component in green eggs and ham

[–] EvergreenGuru 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I thought he was going to feed the herb to the chickens and then gather their thc-infused eggs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

That's how McDonald's get more people in again. THC infused Egg McMuffin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Now I want McDonald's for breakfast.

Thanks. I don't have one available on my drive to work so I'm going to be thinking about this all day now.

I hope you're happy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (3 children)

For a short shining moment in 2020, McDonald's was serving breakfast all day. Never forget what covid took from us

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Seems most stores that were previously 24 hour have shifted to not being open overnight via the pandemic as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You guys lost all-day breakfast? We still have it in Canada. Limited menu, but it has most things, the only thing that comes to mind that they don't serve all day is hash browns

[–] [email protected] 2 points 36 minutes ago

Yeah they stopped when all the covid restrictions hit and never brought it back. It was only around a few months

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

That list is very, very long.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 hours ago

He does not like them, Sam-I-Am

[–] ObsidianZed 8 points 11 hours ago

When he said nug, I thought for sure he was going to make 'egg nug'.
