CanaButter as Product

Hash and Stuff Edibles
1

Good Morning,

So I made some personal infused cannabis butter;

  1. Decarb for about 45 min at 220 in an oven,
  2. added decarbed flower to butter (around 8 oz trim to 4 lb butter), in a slow cooker
  3. simmered on low for a good 36 hours, added water as needed to not over cook butter.
  4. Strained cannabis from butter, stored in 1/2 cup butter sticks.

so the first time i actually made a product, it was with an entire 1/2c stick for brownies, cooked at 350 in an over for 20 min. this high was a very sedative high, which is fine, since i use it to help in sleep and gut issues. The next edible i made was a reese cookie thing, for this product, i used 1/4c butter for the cooked aspect of the dish, and the other 1/4c in the filling and frosting, this produced a much less sedative high… more of a typical sativa high.

my only thought as to why, is to more degradation of the THC in the first edible i made, since the whole 1/2c was heated, not just 1/4c of the canna butter… other than that, not sure why they are so much different.

any other thoughts?

If you already decarbed, you could be degrading THC when you cook it a second time.

If you add water to your croc pot filled with oil and cannabis, make sure you get the water out completely as it encourages mold growth

so it could be degrading into CBN? which is a more sedative cannabiniod?

the water is completely removed i believe, i stopped adding water at about 6 hours left in the cook. the butter and water separate pretty good in a fridge to get poured off. then i re heat butter mixture to be a liquid and then measure to correct size for baking, pour into the proper size mould, then freeze.

i have dethawed two portions so far, and neither had any signs of condensation or water on the packaging. but can never be too careful with mold.
