Ingesting cannabis has the same effect as smoking it, but it's slower to take effect, lasts longer and can be more potent.
Eating cannabis is a significantly more efficient method of delivering the theraputic content than to smoke it.
When you smoke cannabis the burning process destroys about 50% of the THC, you also exhale a lot of the theraputic content, when you eat it you get it all, and the effect can be significantly stronger. When you smoke cannabis it is absorbed almost immediately into the bloodstream and goes straight to your head, when you ingest it has to be absorbed after digestion through the lining of the stomach.
The medicinal benefits of cannabis are significantly more effective when you eat it.
Herbal Butter
This is the main ingredient in almost all cannabis cooking, ganja butter can be added to biscuits and cakes.
This butter has a green-earthy slightly bitter taste, and this taste needs to be masked. Baking recipes with lots of chocolate, cinnamon, or ginger will go a long way to achieving this.
The real secret to great tasting results is to add some real butter to the recipe, I recommend that whatever the recipe calls for, only use 3/4 of the required total amount of butter with herbal butter and use natural butter for the rest. This will give you significantly better taste. I do not recommend frying with this herbal butter.
Ingredients:
-1/2 pound of butter
-4 pints of boiling water
- 1 ounce of course dry shake, or wet shake (aka trim leaf)
Instructions:
-In a large pan add 4 pints of water, and the shake.
-Bring to the boil, reduce the heat so that the water is simmering gently.
-Add the butter. Stir until the butter is dissolved. Allow to simmer for three hours.
-Stretch 4 layers of cheesecloth over a large pan and scoop out the shake and put it on the cheesecloth, then pour the contents of the pot over the shake (I suggest wearing gloves as the mixture is quite hot). This will separate the shake from the mixture, now take some boiling water from a kettle and pour it over the shake to remove any butter that is clinging to it.
-Carefully squeeze the cheesecloth to remove all the butter and throw away the shake (be careful, it is still quite hot).
-Pour the mixture of butter and water in to a plastic container (empty ice cream container is fine) and place in the freezer. Remove when frozen and you will find that the butter has floated to the surface, you will have a layer of green butter floating on the top. Skim it off and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Throw the frozen water away.
The butter can be cut into portions, wrapped in tin foil and stored in the fridge or freezer

So I was hoping to find a way to get it more concentrated
) which is why I suggest mixing with food... And also because, as stated above, the less food/drug ratio the better.
