What Is Cannabutter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, cannabutter is a butter infused with cannabis. The chemical component \u2014 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC \u2014 of the plant is extracted and infused in the butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannabutter is often the key ingredient in marijuana recipes, such as cookies, cakes or brownies. Regular butter is replaced by cannabutter to give your baked goods that extra touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone is a fan of smoking<\/a>, but who doesn\u2019t like a good cake? This is a simple and convenient way of taking marijuana, whether for fun or medicinal purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although most other fats and oils can be infused with cannabis, butter certainly creates tastier recipes. If you\u2019ve ever consumed a space-cake, then you’ve most likely ingested cannabutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Cannabutter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that cannabis is legalized in a number of states<\/a>, cannabutter and edible cannabis are becoming increasingly popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy, Tasty, and Potent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cannabis plant itself has many well-known health benefits<\/a>. Depending on the strain of marijuana you\u2019re using to make your cannabutter, the benefits and psychoactive effects might differ. Some strains are more of a stimulant, while others are a strong relaxant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannabutter doesn\u2019t only make delicious recipes, it also helps preserve the natural potency of the plant. THC molecules combine to the saturated fat contained in butter to survive the cooking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most potent cannabutter is made using bud leaves, or the bud itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer Effects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ingested or smoked, our bodies don\u2019t process cannabis the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When smoked, the chemical components of cannabis travel to the brain and to the lungs, into the bloodstream. Effects can be felt within seconds or minutes and normally last for one to three hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingested, it can take 30 to 90 minutes before the first effects are felt. THC is first metabolized by the liver and intestines, before spreading throughout the body. Although you might need more patience, the effects can, however, last between three to seven hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannabutter is particularly appreciated by those who are looking for an alternative to managing long-lasting pain, muscle spasms, or symptoms of a disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthier for Your Lungs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to smoking cannabis, cannabutter is free of carcinogens or smoke, so your lungs should feel healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the effects don\u2019t materialize instantaneously, it\u2019s important to start with a small amount. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dosing your Cannabis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A regular cannabutter ratio is a pound of butter for half an ounce of cannabis. Those seeking stronger effects might use a ratio of one pound of butter for one ounce of cannabis. Some medical patients even use two ounces of cannabis for each pound of butter, doubling the effects and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When making your cannabutter, it\u2019s important to consider the strain of cannabis you’re using and its potency. Some may contain over 30 percent THC, while other strains will contain less than 15 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we\u2019ll give you some tips to dose your cannabutter and baking goods, be aware that THC concentration will always vary from one batch to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
