::also showing my age:: Fuckin’ A. In Dog’s and my day pot had to be carried over the Rio Grande on the heads of illegal immigrants and had the THC content of rope. We didn’t waste it on shit like pot butter. We treated it like gold. And when we had Acapulco Gold we treated it like gold-pressed latinum. (waxing nostalgic) Dog, remember those brown cigarette things with names like “Tijuana Gold” so they could keep the trademark active until legalization? Those were optimistic days. ---

The way pot butter was _explained_ to me by someone who supposedly made it (and this doesn’t make it sound any better) was that you use the stems of the plant and just boiled it all down for hours until you get a butter consistency and then you can cook with it. > [@](#): > > the candy – which is sold in “nickel bags” and “20 sacks” and comes in flavors like the Chronic and Acapulco Gold – I’m lovin’ it! 😃 Can I get a dove of candy? Dove candy…wait a minute… :dubious: : wanders off in search of munchies : ---

Who ever explained it to you was wrong, wrong, wrong. I’ve never heard of that, and it sounds like it would result in some nasty-assed shit. > [@Dogzilla](#): > > That just sounds like a waste of good weed to me, man. That’s why you cook with the crappy weed. ---

I used to eat hemp seeds (no THC content and the seeds were available legally at any health food store that carried them.) I haven’t seen them in a while though, and they are so round if you spill them, they go _everywhere_ which is annoying. So I don’t eat them much anymore. If the candies taste something along those lines he flavour would be very delicate and inoffensive to the tastebuds. Probably a little bland actually. The sugar would overwhelm the hemp/pot flavour. (If there’s no THC in the cadies, they are probably some kind of hemp candy that is shaped like a pot leaf or something.) ---

> [@Dogzilla](#): > > That just sounds like a waste of good weed to me, man. You wouldn’t say that if you’ve eaten something that was made with good pot butter. From what I hear from my friends who do such derelict things, ( I would never dream of it :dubious: ) it’s an incredible experience. ---

Eeeww! [insert pukey emoticon here] Nope, never heard of this, either. I’ve heard of smoking the stems when you’re stash has run out, but it gives one a blinding headache and the THC is not very strong in the stems. Usually the stems are what the cat plays with under the coffee table. ---

> [@vibrotronica](#): > > Who ever explained it to you was wrong, wrong, wrong. I’ve never heard of that, and it sounds like it would result in some nasty-assed shit. : shrug : That’s the way he claims he makes it. Looking at various websites, people leave them in or throw them out according to taste but most seem to always include some cannabis. Maybe he’s just cheap as hell. 😉 Regardless, I was never tempted to try his cooking.
