Here are a few tips for cooking with cannabis:
1. As a general rule of thumb, multiply whatever you would smoke by a factor of 3 when consuming cannabis orally. That means if you would smoke 0.5g to get high, you would need at least 1.5g to get high by eating it.
2. Be careful when cooking something above 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius, because this is when THC, starts to turn into a vapor. Make sure ALL of the weed is covered in butter, oil, or something that containers one of the two like chocolate.
3. THC is ONLY trapped or extracted by fats like butter or vegetable oil, or alcohol. Make sure whatever you are making has fat or alcohol in it, and the more the better.
4. Always grind up the marijuana as finely as possible, turn it into a powder. If you are not going to invest in a grinder and POWDER the bud first, might as well not waste the marijuana, go smoke it instead of cooking. This is vital to get ALL of the THC out of it, otherwise you will leave some behind.
5. Always cook long enough, and then a little more, but never cook too hot or cold. This will make sure you get all the THC out of the pot and not loose any.

Cannabutter (for making other cannabis treats) [tested]
Cannabutter
| Ingredients: |
Cannabis |
Butter (1 stick = 1/4 lb) |
| Amount: |
1/2 - 1 oz |
1 pound (455 grams) |
Directions: The first thing you are going to need is at least a half-ounce of cannabis. I
say at least because in a perfect world, you should use one ounce of cannabis
for the best results, but if you cannot spare that, a half-ounce will do I
suppose. The next and last item—simple, eh—you will need is a pound of butter. I
would suggest using unsalted butter, because you can always add salt to a recipe
but some recipes call for unsalted butter so it's easier this way.
Now for the tricky part, making it! You will need a coffee grinder, or something
similar, to grind the cannabis into a fine powder. It's up to you what quality
of bud you use, or even what part of the plant you use, but remember, the better
quality the bud, the better the butter! You'll need to grab a saucepan and melt
the butter over medium-low heat. Next, stir in the powdered cannabis with a
wooden spoon. Once the mixture starts to come together, reduce the heat to low.
Leave this on the heat anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, just don't let the
mixture burn! Once it has cooked, strain the mixture, making sure to squeeze all
the butter out. A cheesecloth works really well for this. You can use the
plastic containers that margarine comes in if you have nothing to put your
freshly made cannabutter in. Make sure to pour a little water over the butter
once it has hardened and it will last longer.
Like mentioned earlier, the amount of cannabis you use is up to you and your
wallet, however the more you use the better. This same recipe works with other
fat substitutes such as margarine, lard, shortening, oil—olive, sunflower,
sesame, peanut, vegetable, canola, etc.—and even milk, as long as it has fat in
it.
Some people might have a problem with smell when making any of the above
mixtures, so here's an easy way to get around that. Find a light-proof glass
container and fill it with oil. Put in as much cannabis as you want and seal the
jar, but make sure the cannabis is grinded up. Shake it every day for at least a week. The longer you do it the better,
some go as far as letting it sit for months on end. Once you are ready, strain
the bud out and what you are left with is cannaoil which you can use in any
recipe that requires oil.

cannabis. Stir over medium-low heat until the oil turns green in color. Put 1-2
kernels in the oil and when they begin to pop, add the rest of the corn. Cover
the pot, and shake during popping until the popping noise dies down. Remove the
