Before you can make any kind of ‘baked’ goods, you’ll need to know how to make Cannabutter. If you didn’t already know, now you will…

Things you’ll need

1. · 1 ounce shake and stems OR 1/4 ounce bud
2. · 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter
3. · Large cooking pot
4. · Large bowl
5. · Water
6. · Strainer
7. · cheesecloth
8. · Baking sheet (for optional steps)

Optional pre-steps
* This process changes the chemical compound in the stems, as if lighting the bud with a lighter, to release the THC (to get you high.) It’s super smelly, so if you’re worried about getting caught – Skip it…

• · Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• · Spread the herb evenly over a baking sheet.
• · Bake at 250 degrees for 30 minutes.

Instructions

Now, comes the fun part:

1. · Fill a large cooking pot with water and bring it to a boil.
2. · Once the water is boiling, add the butter.
3. · Add shake/stems/scraps/bud/whatever you’re using and turn the temperature down to a low boil.
4. · Cover half-way to allow the water to evaporate.
5. · Stir the mix every 15 minutes until most of the water has evaporated. (30-90 minutes, but could take longer depending on the amount you’re making)
6. · Remove from heat and let stand until it’s cooled off a bit.
7. · Put the strainer in the large bowl and drape the cheesecloth over it.
8. · Slowly pour what’s in the pot over the cheesecloth, into the strainer. Scrape the gook in the pot out onto the cheesecloth as well.
9. · Bundle the cheesecloth up and squeeze the remaining butter out of the scraps inside, then dispose of the cheesecloth.
10. · Remove the strainer and put the remaining bowl of melted cannabutter in the refridgerator for a few hours.
11. · Once the cannabutter has hardened, take the bowl out of the fridge and slowly remove the canna-frisbee with a knife.
12. · Remove any residual nasties that may have slipped through to the bottom.

Now you have pure, bright green Cannabutter! You can either use it as is (Spread it on a piece of toast!), or melt it and use it to make other yummy treats. (Brownies, grilled cheese, Rice Krispies treats, etc.)

With the amount of people that smoke weed, it amazes me how stupid some people can be when it comes to doing so inconspicuously.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called several of my friends just to hear about how they got arrested for possession. It always makes me wonder – How dense are they? All it takes is a little bit of common sense!

For those of you who are lacking in the common sense department, NORML and Jeff Steinborn have you taken care of. They released a comic strip type thing to help you all out. It’s kind of old, but it’s a great resource for the people that just can’t seem to get discretion through their heads.

A wise man once said, “They say marijuana leads to other drugs. No it doesn’t, it leads to fucking carpentry.” And Mr. Leary, let me tell you, you’re absolutely right!

Every stoner has done it — Leave the house and forget your pipe, run out of papers without realizing it, or worse – break your pipe and not have a replacement handy. What do you do then?

There are several solutions, but for our first tutorial, we’re going to make a bowl out of tin foil. Before we start, let me say this: This is not the best idea for a pipe, and it’s definitely not something you want to use every time you smoke (Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer’s,) but it’s quick and easy and okay to use every once in a while when you don’t have anything else handy. Everyone always has tin foil, right? Right. Let’s get started…
