How To Make Cannabis infused Butter at Home

If you love edibles, learning how to make cannabis-infused butter often called “cannabutter” is a must. This versatile base can be used in brownies, cookies, sauces, and more. Making it yourself at home is simple, fun, and lets you control the potency and quality of your ingredients. Here’s a step by step instruction to help you do it right.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the following:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup (7–10 grams) of ground cannabis flower (preferably decarboxylated
• 1 cup water
• Saucepan or slow cooker
• Fine strainer or cheesecloth
• Glass jar or airtight container
   

Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Cannabis

Raw cannabis won’t get you “high” because it contains THCA, a non-psychoactive compound. To activate THC, you need to decarboxylate your cannabis.

1. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
    
2. Break the cannabis into small pieces and spread them equally on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper.
    
3. Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and aromatic.
    
4. Let it cool, then grind it coarsely (not too fine).
    

Step 2: Melt the Butter

In a saucepan or slow cooker, melt 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of water over low heat. The water helps regulate temperature and prevents the butter from burning.

Step 3: Add the Cannabis

Once the butter melts, add your decarboxylated cannabis. Keep the heat low and let it simmer for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Avoid boiling if you want the mixture warm enough to extract the cannabinoids without burning them.

Step 4: Strain the Mixture

After simmering, remove from heat and let it cool somewhat. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth into a clean bowl or jar.
Avoid squeezing too hard; this can push plant material into your butter, making it bitter or grassy.

Step 5: Cool and Store

Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The butter will solidify on top, and any remaining water will settle below.
Once firm, remove the butter layer and store it in an airtight container in the fridge (up to 2 weeks) or freezer (up to 6 months).
 

Tips for Perfect Cannabutter

• Use low heat: High temperatures can destroy THC and other cannabinoids.
• Choose quality flower: The better your cannabis, the better your butter.
• Experiment with potency: Start with small amounts of cannabis until you find your preferred strength.
• Label clearly: Always label your butter as cannabis-infused to avoid accidental use.
   

How to Use Cannabis-Infused Butter

Use your cannabutter in place of regular butter for your favorite recipe cookies, brownies, mashed potatoes, or even pasta sauces. Just remember:
Start low and go slow. Edibles can take 30–90 minutes to kick in, and the effects can last several hours.
