Canna Butter
Canna butter, also known as cannabis butter or infused butter, is a popular ingredient used in homemade cannabis edibles. It is made by infusing butter with cannabis, typically using heat to activate the cannabinoids and mix them with the fat in the butter.
To make canna butter, you will need the following ingredients and equipment:
- Cannabis (ground or decarboxylated)
- Unsalted butter
- Water
- Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
- Saucepan or slow cooker
Here’s a general step-by-step guide on how to make canna butter:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis: This step involves heating the cannabis in the oven to activate the cannabinoids. Preheat your oven to around 240°F (115°C). Place your ground cannabis on a lined baking sheet and bake it for around 40-45 minutes, turning it occasionally to ensure even heating. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Melt the butter: In a saucepan or slow cooker, melt the unsalted butter on low heat. Add water to prevent the butter from burning and to help with straining later. The ratio of butter to cannabis can vary, but a common starting point is 1 cup of butter to 1 ounce (28 grams) of cannabis.
- Add the decarboxylated cannabis: Once the butter has melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis to the pan or slow cooker. Stir to coat the cannabis with the melted butter. Maintain a low heat to prevent burning, usually around 160-180°F (71-82°C).
- Infuse the mixture: Let the cannabis and butter mixture simmer for several hours, stirring occasionally. The duration of the infusion can range from 2 to 8 hours, although longer infusions tend to result in more potent canna butter. Take care to maintain a low and steady heat during this process, avoiding rapid boiling.
- Strain the mixture: After the desired infusion time, remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Set up a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer over a container or bowl. Pour the mixture over the strainer, allowing the liquid to strain into the container while capturing the cannabis plant material. Squeeze the cheesecloth or strain further to extract as much canna butter as possible.
- Refrigerate and store: Once strained, refrigerate the container until the canna butter solidifies. The water will separate from the butter during this process, allowing you to remove any excess water. Store the canna butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use.
Note that the potency of your canna butter will depend on various factors, including the quality and potency of the cannabis you use, the amount of cannabis relative to the butter, and the duration of the infusion. It’s always a good idea to start with a small amount of canna butter when using it in recipes and to wait and gauge its effects before consuming more.
Remember to always label your canna butter clearly and keep it away from children and pets, as it may resemble regular butter.
Please be aware that the use, possession, and sale of cannabis may be subject to legal restrictions in your jurisdiction. Make sure to familiarize yourself with your local laws and regulations before making and using canna butter.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup decarboxylated ground cannabis flower
- Water
Equipment:
- Saucepan
- Whisk or spoon
- Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
- Container for storage
Instructions:
- Decarboxylate the cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to activate the THC. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.
- Melt the butter: In a saucepan, combine the butter and water over low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely.
- Add the cannabis: Once the butter has melted, add the decarboxylated cannabis to the saucepan. Stir well to make sure the cannabis is fully coated in the melted butter.
- Simmer: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure the mixture does not boil, as this can degrade the cannabinoids.
- Strain the mixture: After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Place a piece of cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a container and strain the mixture, allowing the liquid to separate from the plant material. Press the cannabis with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Chill and store: Refrigerate the strained canna butter until it solidifies. Once solid, remove any excess water from the bottom of the container. Store the canna butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use.
Notes:
- Use caution and consider the potency of the strain of cannabis being used to determine the strength of the canna butter.
- Start with a small amount of canna butter in recipes and wait to gauge its effects before consuming more.
- Label the container clearly and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
