I've made some pretty dangerous brownies using that method. But I prefer to just put the weed straight in rather than go through all the trouble of the straining. Grind it up fine as dust, brown it in a pan first, then add to brownie mix but with more oil and less egg than is called for on the brownie mix box. You get a gooey, almost fudgelike mass instead of a cakelike brownie. This makes it more suitable for long-term storage in the freezer without getting freezer burn.

your method is very different from what i've heard...

1. boil the weed and butter in a pot of water, the THC is supposed to bond to the fat of the butter and you get none of the weed taste as i've had it explained to me...

2. after it's all boiled up, you put thick strings in the butter and let them hang over the sides of the pot and then set the pot in the fridge until the butter rises to the top of the water...the water and butter will naturally separate and the nasty weed flavor stays in the water but the THC is in da' butta'...

3. cut the puck of butter out of by running a knife edge along the sides of the pot and pull it out by the strings...

4. do what thou wilt with the butter shall be the whole of the law...

This reminds me very much of what are called "Honey-Slides". They were a significant influence on Neil Young's album On The Beach. Here's Neil's own recipe, recorded live, taken from somewhere on the thrasher's site:

"Anyway, we're in this hotel room (harmonica), we're trying some honey-slides, you know....You know what a honey-slide is? (voice from audience: Yes!) Honey-slide, mmmmmmn!

You know, poor grade marijuana (he's playing soft guitar all through this... Motion Pictures intro), worse than you get on the street, and you take it and you get your old lady, you know, if you got one, to cook it up on the stove, you know, put that stuff in the grinder, get it real fine, in a frying pan, put it on the stove, turn the heat up a little, wait till the grass just starts to smoke, just a little bit, take it off the heat, don't want to burn it too much (laughter and a few guitar bars), then you take the honey, you know, get a half a glass of honey about this big - I hope you ladies are listening to the recipies tonight - (audience laughter and a few words missing) just heat that honey up until it's slippery, you know, and mix that grass with it, you know the fine grass that you've cooked up just until it started to smoke and you took it off, mix those together and you get a spoon you know (voices from the audience and laughter).

I think you should eat it after that. Just eat a little of it, you know, maybe a spoonful or two, you'll be surprised, it just makes you feel fine... (laughter) That cheap grass is great. You know, in these times, you have to think about prices and things like that (laughter)."

Bit of a chauvinist, isn't he?

I had a bottle of weed gin my pop gave me last year- it was brewing for a good 7/8 months before I cracked into it. Fucking beautiful, but my god it was intense.

I'd go see this band. A mix of stoner rock and drunken glam.

Red Square, that's the time-intensive method I was talking about with the original brownies. The quick'n'dirty method I mentioned makes something we call spacecakes and while they don't taste like store-brought brownies, the weed taste is very muted and not objectionable at all.

After all, do we really eat weed snacks for our sweet tooth?

I've seen the carrot done.

When I worked as a baker I'd seen a pipe made out of an old scone, I imagine you could probably make one out of a baguette that had been sitting out awhile.

I've taken to shooting up bongwater.

Fuck you hippies. I'm SXE again.

Soaking herb longer than 5 minutes to a day in ~>50% alcohol is totally unnecessary. The only thing the extra time does is give you more chlorophyll and other water soluble non-psychoactive components.

I've seen some people get what they purported to be a good quality hash-type product by vigorously shaking ground herb (or whole, if it's not compressed) in either grain alcohol or 90% isopropyl for 30 *seconds*, filtering and then evaporating the alcohol off. The left over residue will be some plant funk/wax and trichome oil -- scraped up it will look, smell and function like hashish.

A college favorite round these parts was 'bang' -- simmer weed in light cream for somewhere around 10 minutes, strain, mix with your favorite foo-foo booze that goes well with cream, et voila. Somehow this seems to have been a very efficient means of ingesting, extreme caution should be used for getting the proper dosage amount figured out or you may be looking at a 24 hour trip.
