Making Cannabutter: How To Get It Right the First Time

Have you been to the kitchen lightly? Or, were you too busy burning cannabis? Well, if you
want to put the use of cannabis to the next level, you better consider making cannabutter. So
get up and put your cooking skills to a challenge. The increased practice of infusing cannabis to
edible products is not common.

However, among all other cannabis-infused edible products, cannabutter is the most versatile
of them all. Why? Well, you can add to your daily meals―pasta, cakes, pastries, and many
more. Butter is not the only though. There are a lot of alternatives like olive oil.

In this article, you'll learn how to make cannabutter properly, and you will see a quick guide in
choosing the right cannabis strain.

Quick Chemistry Lesson: Decarboxylation

Before you heat your pan and melt your butter, there is one very important thing that you need
to learn. In making cannabutter, knowing the concept of decarboxylation is important. You
might’ve heard this just now, but this is vital for your cannabutter preparation.

The cannabis that you are using contains a compound called tetrahydrocannabinolic (tetra-
hydro-cannabinolic) acid. It's hard to pronounce, so it's better to call it from now on as THCA.
Well, what's the issue about THCA? THCA is a major player.

Ever wondered why you get high when you inhale the smoke? That’s THCA being converted to
tetrahydrocannabinol (tetra-hydro-cannabinol) or THC. This THC is the one causing the euphoric
feeling you experience. And, cue drum rolls, the process that converts THCA to THC is
decarboxylation.

To "decarb" cannabis leaves, you need to burn it, and that explains why the smoke makes you
high. And in making cannabutter, you need to remember that the THCA must first be converted
to THC to have a stronger and more potent cannabutter.

Quick Stop at the Market: Choosing the Right Cannabis

You might’ve felt excitement after knowing about the process of decarboxylation. However,
another thing to do before cooking is choosing the right cannabis. There are a lot of cannabis
strains out there. However, all of them are not suitable for your cannabutter.

That's why there are some of the cannabis strains that are suitable for cannabutter:

1) Train Wreck

for its large yield. Aside from that, it is one of the best cannabis for cannabutter. It has a strong
potency level and gives citrus and peppery flavor. If you want to have, cannabis leaves available

whole new world of flavors in your cannabis edibles. Fortunately, OG Kush is also part of the
elite strains for cannabutter. OG Kush can give you the desired euphoric feeling that you’ve
been longing for. Of course, you will reach cloud nine after eating cannabutter on top of toasted
bread. Yum!

3) White Widow

If Train Wreck is strong and OG Kush is flavorful, White Widow is somewhat the best of both
worlds. Strength and flavor are this strain's best qualities. If you are not leaning to any of the
two mentioned beforehand, then this strain is for you. It has hints of peppermint and earthy
flavors. Indeed, it is a balance of flavor and potency.
