Canna Butter is such an efficient, versatile and simple way of consuming cannabis. You will find many recipes that include Canna Butter, especially in baking, as the infused ingredient not to mention it’s inconspicuous and approachable nature.

There are a variety of methods to make Canna Butter, some shorter, majority require the slow brewing and infusing of the cannabis with the butter. We will show you two variants one with decarbing and one without.

Some things to know before you start:

The Decarboxylation Method aka Decarbing:
Raw Cannabis plant contains cannabinoids that are non-psychoactive which require a heat source. Decarbing is the process of heating the cannabis before infusing and boiling it with the butter. This process allows the CBD, THC and other Cannabinoids to activate as well as allow for lipids in oil and butter to easily bind to the weed which creates the ultimate fusion. Most prefer to first decarboxylate the cannabis for this reason, the taste of the butter is also usually better. Others prefer to directly infuse it with the butter and rely on the boiling for the heat source, therefore not heating the cannabis beforehand.

How much Cannabis to use:
This would greatly depend on what or how you will be using the Canna Butter and also how much butter you will be using at a time, stronger Canna Butter allows you to use less butter. The potency of the plant material will also impact the intensity. Personal preference will also come into play when it comes to intensity and whether you are a beginner to cannabis. Remember, when it comes to edibles, less is more. While figuring out what intensity you are comfortable with, go slow and start with a little.

The amount of cannabis you use will be dependent on your preference and requirements:
