How to Turn All Your Leftover Stems Into Weed Butter

Step 2: Cook It Down

1. Combine the water, butter, and plant material in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 – 24 hours. Low and slow, that’s the tempo.
2. The longer, the better to fully decarboxylate (translation: activate) the THC. Try to keep the temperature between 200F – 250F.
3. Be sure to stir the mixture periodically, adding water as necessary.

Note: If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can use a saucepan with a lid.

Cook on low for 2 – 3 hours. Stir occasionally and add water as necessary.

DON’T LET IT BOIL. The extra heat will destroy the THC, decreasing potency
