Normally I make my cookies etc out of butter and bid, but most of my mates who are into bud are also vegans. Just wanting to know of a few different methods of preparing the bud for vegan friendly consumables. Can you boil the business vegetable oil? How would you filter it? Thanks in advance
 
Just replace the butter with a high fat oil. Coconut Oil is very high fat and works quite well. You can make vegan cookies, brownies, firecrackers (not the best method imo, but easy), basically any baked good or anything that requires oil to be mixed into it. Make the oil in the same way you'd make cannabutter, then use it in the food. I don't filter pot oil, but I assume you could just filter it in the same way as butter if you need to filter it.
 
Bit random this is, but now i've sobered up I wanna know why the vegans in here (I assume most of you guys posting in here are vegan) are vegan?

Whats the reasoning behind it? i'm not being a dick i'm just genuinely curious. My ex gf was a vegetarian and she never gave me a straight answer. never talked to vegans!
 
I imagine it's an ethical objection to the practice of (what can be seen as ) enslaving animals and exploiting their biological functions. It probably stems from a belief that there is a widespread discrimination against animals (call it speciesism) that is unjustified, and that they ought to be given many of the same rights that humans enjoy.

Just speculating, of course...
 
Its already been said but vegetable oil works fine. And IME most brownie/cake recipes require vegetable oil.

If you really want to make sure its vegan you can buy a cake/brownie mix from a health food store.

I'd look it up and post a link but I'm on my phone but Hightimes had a recipe for 'evil cake balls' a few months ago that I've been dying to try. They're like balls of cake covered in chocolate and sprinkles if my memory is correct ...all I can think is if I ate one I probably would keep eating until they were all gone or until I forgot what a cake ball is. :D
 
Most health food stores sell a vegan butter substitute and (as I have tasted) it's pretty darn good, a bit pricey though.

I'm a vegetarian and I also avoid dairy and eggs and such that are from factory farms. The reasoning is mainly that milk production tends to be very cruel, as does egg production. It's not necessarily being against consuming milk and eggs and whatnot, it's being against the means that are used to get those things which end up torturing and killing very large numbers of sentient beings. If you're interested, "Animal Liberation" by Peter Singer is a very short pamphlet that basically sums up the reasons that most vegans and vegetarians choose to adjust their diet in that fashion. It doesn't address environmental reasons, because no one was really avoiding meat for that reason at the time he wrote that pamphlet. But that's a pretty common reason too.

To the OP- there are vegan chocolates that are very very high fat that could work pretty well for edibles in theory. I've never tried this, but there are recipes for edibles that center around chocolate that are vegan.
