i TRIED to make butter i think i just made a mess and wasted my time. i did not get high,not yet at least, ate about an hour and a half ago I used about a half of stick of butter and fresh trimmings,does the fact that it ws fresh have anything to do with it -When u make the butter does the color of your butter indicate the potency of it -If the weed u boiled looks like it still has trichs can u boil it again
well it depends on how much you use...and how much food you are mixing it with. best thing to do is grind up all the stuff you plan on using into a powder, this makes it much easier to extract all you can. fresh or dried, doesn't matter with cooking..but it may take a little longer to extract. you don't need to boil..you'll burn out all the THC, you gotta simmer at most, and atleast, have it nice and warm. 15 minutes on simmer and stirred well, it should be loaded with THC. color does not always indicate potency. I've never used trimmings for cooking, so I don't know how much you would need per person. probably a good amount. general rule is 2-5g/person(bud)...and of course, that changes with the amount of food you are cooking with. basically, say you dump 20g into the mix and make butter out of it, then make something with that butter...you'd have enough for 4 people or more...but they have to eat 1/4th of whatever was made to recieve a 5g dose.
Also take into accound that you used trim not actual buds, most of us would use buds. If we were going to use trim the majority of us would only use trim densly covvered in trichs. If your going to use trim you better use a lot! Also like i'ver said numerous times before if your affraid you may not being to it right if your cooking something that needs oil instead of butter use it the same way, just cook the weed in the amount of oil needed and then strain it out when done cook and get blown at the same time!
