Ever fancied getting high in a place you otherwise could not? or just fancied a 6 hour buzz as opposed to a shorter, more intense one from smoking? Or just don't fancy smoking? There are guides on the Internet for this but they mostly lack pictures and go into Autistic amounts of detail. This one is plain, to the point, works and is branded for our beloved Temple.

You will need:-
  • Preferably unsalted, full-fat butter. 80%+ is best. In this case I used Anchor.
  • Some hash or trim bud. The smaller the trim/bud the better. Grind that shit!
  • A saucepan
  • Water to fill a bit of it up.
  • A pyrex bowl to melt the butter in, like you used to do with chocolate back in the day.
  • Oven gloves
  • A spoon and knife.
  • A container for the butter.
  • A fridge
  • A sieve, if you are using bud/trim.

Step 1.
Get the water hot in the pan, and while you are doing so, leave it to one side to cut off some butter. The smaller the amount of butter, the more intense the high. The general rule is 10g to 2g of bud or .5g of hash.

Step 2.
Lob the butter into the pyrex bowl and while it is melting, gather your intoxicants.

Step 3.
Put it on a low heat to avoid burning. It's almost impossible to actually burn as it's over wet heat, but still. Too much heat and bye bye goes your high!
So gather your hash and dusty bud/trim. All there? Right, throw it in. Make sure the butter is completely, without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt melted.

The Science: The fat molecules in the butter bond to the THC as it is fat soluble, so the melted butter and lipids eat up the THC and bond. You now have infused THC and fat in the butter - and a great eat that tastes pretty nice too. This is why I said to get the butter with as high fat content as possible!

So yeah, chuck it in...

If you have bud or trim, then do that too. Keep the sieve handy!

Step 4.
Stir it for a good few minutes. Let's say 3, so whack on a good track and stir away on the lowest setting. Believe me, the butter is scorching, so don't go crazy and keep it in the bowl. If you are stirring in bud or trim, then make sure to squish it under the spoon every so often and infuse it with the butter.

Oh, and it smells fucking lush! Note, your neighbours may not agree. Be aware. it's not too noticeable, but if you're using Skunk #1, White Rhine or Sour Diesel then prepare for a stench.

Step 5.
So your track is over and the hash/bud/trim is all melted into the butter.
If you are using bud or trim then take the sieve and place it over a bowl. Make sure it's stable and then pour the mixture through it into the bowl. Make sure it's not the sort to melt under hot circumstances, and you will see a load of the plant matter get caught in the sieve. Once you have squashed the matter and drained the butter into the bowl, you can just chuck it. Keeping the butter, of course.
If you are using hash then don't worry about a sieve. Even if there are little particles, you won't notice them :)

Step 6.
Put into a container, let it sit in the fridge overnight and use as per normal butter. Cook with it (but don't let it burn!), or put it into sandwiches and eat in Public like I do :hai:
