DOSING: Makes one stick (1/2 cup) of cannabutter or ghee. Double-check the math if your cannabis % THC is different.
Low Dose // 5 mg THC per tablespoon: ~40 mg THC total in the entire recipe. Approximately 0.03 grams of cannabis flower (20% THC)
High Dose // 100 mg THC per tablespoon: ~400 mg THC total in the entire recipe. Approximately 3 grams (20% THC)
INGREDIENTS:
one cup oil of choice (olive, vegetable, coconut, grapeseed, etc.)
[ * ] g cannabis flower, ~25% THC
DIRECTIONS:
1. Activate + Decarb: Carefully weigh and place coarsely ground cannabis flower (low dose) or cannabis concentrate (high dose) into a pint-sized 16 oz. mason jar, seal with the lid to reduce smell, and heat for 40 minutes in the oven to decarboxlyate, which activates the THC. Remove from the oven and let cool until the mason jar is safe to touch. The ground flower will look lightly toasted.
2. Infuse: Reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees F. Pour oil into the mason jar, close the lid, and stir to combine.
High Dose: If using concentrate, use a silicone spatula to scrape the bottom of the jar a little and mix it evenly into the warm oil. Set aside to cool until ready to use. Stir or shake the jar to mix the concentrate and oil before using.
Low Dose: If using cannabis flower, preheat the oven to 240°F and place the sealed jar back into the oven to infuse for 2.5 hours. After 2.5 hours, remove from the oven and cool until the mason jar is safe to touch. Strain the melted butter through a fine mesh sieve and into a clean container. Cool to room temperature.
