i've been growing and eating bud for a long time, and in my experince i've never gotten high off of the leaf. maybe its just me
mhmmm you can get hella cooked from leafs, you can make butter like you said, but I prefer making oil. oil is basicly thc exact. There's various methods, but I think the best one is the iso method(iso=99% alchy). Do a search on "making oil" and you should find out how to make it. you can also make red oil which is basicly the same thing but it taste alot better. instead of cooking off the iso, put it in the sun(in a safe spot)for a one to three days, and let the iso evaporate off untill u have a thick layed of (red) oil. make sure it doesn't smell like alchy and doesn't burn when you apply a flame,it should only bubble. It takes paicence(sp) but if you do it right, you'll have sum sweet tastin, prime oil, that'll **** u up wit one hit.
with leaf depending on how much you have 2-5 oz you can make gold oil from it buy stuffing a long thing plastic pipe full of leaf then injecting a whole can of lightetr fluid though the pipe on the other end have the liquid run into a pie tin once the whole can has been pumped though sit the pie tin in hot water all the fluid will bubble and evporate untill you are left with gold oil. repeat steps if nessary
courtesy of growkind.com Making Hash Oil There are many recipies, myths and opinions regarding hash oil. Many recipies call for heating the mixture and for using various solvents. Since most of these solvents contain a high concentration of alcohol we do not recommend heating them in any way. Also we don't reccoment using Isopropyl alcohol as the stuff most people will buy at the store will not be pure 100% alcohol. The best thing if you can find it is to use ethyl alcohol, most people can not obtain ethyl alcohol however so in this case use Everclear or if you can't get that Isopropyl alcohol will do. Just make sure it is 100% pure isopropyl alcohol. Step 1 - break up your leaves or buds into as fine a powder as you can, a coffee grinder works great for this. Step 2 - mix alcohol and powder well, use a blender or paint mixer depending on the amount being processed. Step 3 - allow mixture to soak for at least 24 hours, mixing occasionally. The longer you soak the material the more THC you should extract (to a point of course), anything past a few days is probably overkill but I've known people who leave it indefinitely and just siphon off the everclear for drinking. Step 4 - Filter off the plant material using a fine mesh screen, a metal coffee filter works well for this. If you still have more plant material in your extract than you would like you can additionally filter it through a paper coffee filter. The more filtering you do the more pure the extract will be (little or no plant material), however multiple filterings can be a lengthly process when you are processing large amounts of buds or trimmings. Step 5 - Evaporate off the liquid part of your solvent. This is where some people use heat to speed up the process. Beware that these solvents are HIGHLY COMBUSTABLE and great care should be taken if you decide to heat them. Never heat them on a gas stove. Our preferred method here is to pour the liquid into a glass baking pan or dish. Then place it in a warm window or near a radiator to evaporate the liquid off. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. A fan blowing over the top of the liquid will help it evaporate more quickly. As the substance nears completion you will begin to get a tar like substance forming. While it is still somewhat liquid we suggest you start collecting it in one spot on the dish, eventually you will have evaporated off most or all of the alcohol and will be left with the infamous "hash oil". You will likely need to use a razor blade to scrap up the tar.
