STEP 1

To make marijuana-infused butter like a pro, heat should be applied to the cannabis first to fully activate the THC, a process known as decarboxylation. To decarb your cannabis, heat oven to 240 degrees. Place the plant material in a single layer on a baking sheet with sides. Bake for 40 minutes, turning the sheet a couple of times to ensure even heating. The cannabis will become dry and crumbly. Now you are ready to add it to your butter or oil.

STEP 2

In a medium saucepan bring a quart of water to a boil on the stove. You can vary the amounts, just be sure that the marijuana is always floating about 1 1/2 – 2 inches from the bottom of the pan. When the water is boiling place the butter in the pan and allow it to melt completely. My recipe uses 4 sticks of butter to every ounce of marijuana, so if you’re using a half ounce of weed that’s about 2 sticks of butter.

STEP 3

Once the butter has melted you can add the marijuana. Once the weed is added the heat should be turned down, very low, to barely a simmer. I usually let the weed cook for around three hours. You can tell it’s done when the top of the mix turns from really watery to glossy and thick.

STEP 4

While the butter is cooking set up the bowl to hold the finished product. I like to use a heatproof bowl, and some people use a plastic food container. Place a double layer of cheesecloth over the top, and secure it with elastic, string or tape.

STEP 5

Strain the marijuana butter over the bowl, carefully trying not to spill. When the saucepan is empty, undo the twine, pick up the cheesecloth from all four sides and squeeze out all of the remaining butter.

STEP 6

Allow the cannabutter to cool for about an hour. Place in the fridge until the butter has risen to the top layer and is solid. The THC and other properties have attached to the butter, and you are just about there.

STEP 7

Run a knife around the edge and lift the butter off. Place upside down on your work surface and scrape off any of the cooking water. Your weed butter is ready to roll. Enjoy!

Visited Whole Leaf yesterday and delivered them a half pound of some beeeautiful Blueberry this afternoon! Whole Leaf, Ryan and his team were nothing short of amazing. One of the best establishments we’ve seen, staff was VERY informative and super friendly, their store was easily accessible and had some of the neatest jars for display, not to mention the quality of his products! Top notch, all the way around! Looking forward to future business with Whole Leaf!!

Everyone was so friendly. They have a great selection and prices

Nicest People

Hands-down some of the nicest people. Im new to the medical community, and still trying to figure out how to medicate efficiently and affordably. I can tell that they are genuinely wanting to help. If they can help you, they will. Will DEFINITELY be a loyal customer! 🙂

Nicest Dispensary

Nicest Dispensary in Tulsa. I have not been to all dispensaries yet but I have been to quite a few and this is by far the cleanest set-up. I had an issue with a product and they were extremely professional in handling it. Love this Simple Cure gummies, I don’t mind driving past 15 other stores to go here.

Exceptional Staff

Exceptional Staff, Service & Facilities. From the moment I stepped in the door, I knew that this was “the place”. Clean, well lit store, with a cool vibe and a laid back attitude. Fast, friendly service from check-in, to talking with the “bud tenders”, making my selections, to checking out. The virtual ATM made it so easy to make my purchase, I was in and out within 15 minutes. The deal on the Purple Kush was insane and they gave me the Veterans discount. Everything I need from my dispensary, service with a smile!
