It can be a longer process, but it's worthwhile. Cheers. Oh, BTW Ryan, try using coconut oil, or look up using vegetable glycerin. It can be a longer process, but it’s worthwhile.

How does your friend feel about using a double boiler? Or even more simply, two cooking pots, one big, one little. Fill the big pot with water, bring it to a boil, and put the little pot in the big one (be careful not to overfill the water pot, as the herbs, butter and small pot will displace a certain amount of the water). Add the butter, let it melt, and stir in your finely ground herbs. I've cooked it from two hours to six hours, but absolutely the more the merrier, and it's always made a treat. Just be careful, it's really strong if you leave the fibers in the butter (and, unless you are using some very kind material, it can taste very weedy). Another concern is making sure all the water doesn't boil out of the big pot. Especially if you are impatient, inhale the herbs while you're waiting, and then promptly forget about the butter entirely. It happens to the best of us... Thanks for the article, LBLMT This is a nice, easy description for a pot butter.

Grapeseed oil would be good, too, and healthy for you as well. Mo: RE: How much water to use - certainly enough to cover herb by a few inches - but too much water won't effect it b/c THC is not water soluble - it is fat soluble. It's the herb to oil ratio that counts. For Ryan re: Type of oil - something bland, like canola would work best for baking. Grapeseed oil would be good, too, and healthy for you as well.

But how much water do you use? 1 cup? 10 cups? Can anyone answer especially if you're cooking for 18 hours? Geez. OK 1/2 ounce of marijuana to 1lb of butter.
