    Butterleaf Flour  

    Top

    Melt a cube of butter (margarine or oil) in skillet. Grind leaf in a blender or grinder to a flour like substance. Add 1 ½ to cups leaf flour to the melted butter. Cook on lowest heat, covered, for at least 20 minutes, stir to prevent burning. Burning will render the mixture useless. Then add this flour to your standard recipe, or add to a ready-made box of brownies. Very simple and doesn't taste bad either! Be careful ingesting any medical marijuana product as the potency of a batch can vary tremendously and your body’s reaction might be overwhelming. Use common sense and practical application to avoid discomfort. And if you use marijuana medically, inform your doctor of your use, and be certain that s/he notes this information in your medical records. Ask your doctor to monitor your medical marijuana use. Good luck. And may your suffering be relieved. 

    Marijuana Butter

    Top

    Soak 2 oz. marijuana leaves in hot tap water for 5 minutes. Put leaves in strainer and run more hot water over them, in a large pot, simmer clean leaves with 4 cups of water and 2 cups of butter for 2 hours. Scoop leaves from water/butter mixture. Again pour hot water through the leaves into another pan. Repeat several times to remove all butter from leaves. Refrigerate mix until butter hardens on the surface. Remove butter and discard water. Can be used in almost any recipe.

    Nina's Basic Marijuana Recipe

    Top

    Grind to a fine flour like consistency until you have 1 ½ - 2 cups of marijuana leaf flour.

    Melt a cube of butter in a skillet.

    Slowly sauté the leaf in the melted butter on the lowest possible heat for at least 40 minutes. Cover, but check constantly! Stir repeatedly, keep checking the mixture. DO NOT LET BURN, STIR STIR STIR, keep checking.

    You can add a small amount of water to keep the mixture from sticking, but keep your eye on the mixture and be certain that it is dry to cook with.

    Let cool, then add this in place of some of the flour to any recipe that you like. Some folks add it right into a cake mix.

    I make a remarkable cookie from a butter cookie recipe by just adding the flour to recipe as is and adding another egg.

    Tincture Recipe

    Top

    You will need:

    Glass jar- 1 quart mason jar is ideal but any size will do.

    3 parts ground marijuana. Leaf bud or shake.

    4 parts high proof alcohol. Everclear or Vodka.

    To make Tincture:

    Fill jar ¾ full of herb (leaving 1/4 bottle empty so the alcohol has room to evaporate)

    Fill rest of jar with alcohol; leave some room at top stir.

    Shake jar one or two times a day for 2 weeks.

    Strain through metal tea strainer or silkscreen.

    You can use whatever kind of clean glass, not plastic, jar you have with a tight lid. One-quart mason jars are ideal. Grind the herb thoroughly in a blender. It should be well ground but doesn’t have to be a powder. You can use leaf, bud, shake, joint leftover, or stems. Too many stems will wreck your blender and a weaker tincture. Leaf work fine but for higher potency use shake or bud. Fill the jar ¾ full of herb; it does not have to be exact. You can use anywhere from ½ to 2/3 part herb but ¾ will make a full strength tincture. Use the highest proof alcohol you can, Everclear, which is 180 proof, but hard to find. So just use the highest proof Vodka you can find. 

    Pour alcohol over the herb, filling the rest of the jar. Leave just enough space (an inch or so) at the top so that you will be able to shake the jar. Stir the mixture; the herb will absorb some of the alcohol so you may need to add more. Put the lid on tightly; label the contents and the date you started. It takes two weeks for the alcohol to extract all the active elements from the herb. Shake the jar once or twice a day for 2 weeks. The alcohol will rise to the top and a deep green/red color will develop. 

    After 2 weeks of aging you can strain the tincture through a metal tea strainer or a silk screen into a small tincture bottle with a dropper. You can leave the rest in the jar if you want, it will age and mellow in flavor and you can strain off as much as you want at a time. Alcohol is a strong preservative it will hold for a long time, be careful when handling the tincture, it satins and will turn everything it comes in contact with green. Use Ultra Palmolive anti-bacterial dish soap, the orange kind, to clean the glass, metal or other ceramic utensils, (do not use plastic) sinks and counter tops works best at dissolving THC residue.

    Dosage varies per individual but start with half a dropper dissolved in hot tea or water. Hot tea will dissipate some of the alcohol and activate the THC a bit. It can be taken straight but may burn the tongue and has a very strong herbal taste. Enjoy and be well.  

    Cleaning Tincture Bottles

    Top

    They need to be cleaned by hand.

    Take them all apart and soak in:

     Palmolive Ultra Anti Bacterial – Orange

    2 Tbs. Bleach in soaking water in 4/5 gallons H20.

    Triple rinse till clean (no soap) any bottle w/ any residue (sticky matter from tincture)

    Handy Caps

    Top

    Weigh the marijuana, grind it in a coffee grinder, sift and cook it on the stove top with butter and water, spread it on a cookie sheet, bake it, cool it, then capsule it. It takes about five hours from start to finish. We capsule it in two different sizes gelatin capsules, “O” and “OO” to administer the dosage.

    Making a large quantity caused the potency to diminish. Store in freezer. This makes about two week’s supply at a time and keeps the medicine fresh for Jeffery’s use.

    The Ingredients

    1.25 - 2.5oz marijuana leaf (you may use bud, but the strength will be increased)

    ¼ - ½ cup butter

    ¾ cup water

    Jeffery’s Process 

    Top

    The following process is used to treat one youth. Each person will respond differently. Careful monitoring was essential in Jeffery’s case and should be applied to anyone who might seek to follow this recipe.

    Grind leaf in a coffee grinder. Sift. (Use a series of finer screens to remove larger fibrous material.) Melt butter in a saucepan or skillet. Add water and sifted leaf. Cook on lowest possible eat, bring just to a simmer (do not boil), continue cooking and stirring over low heat for 1-2 hours. If it gets too thick to simmer, add a little more water.

    CAREFUL NOT TO BURN!!

    (The Following part of the process is optional):

    Spread out into a cookie sheet and place in a warm oven (the lowest setting, approximately 200 degrees, and “dry” for 2-3 hours. When it is dry and crumbly, cool and put into “OO” & “O” gelatin capsules (Gelatin capsules as well as a “gelatin capsule packer” is available at health food stores in various sizes).

    It was important to begin by administering the lowest possible dosage. Jeffery’s medicine was increased as necessary. (The “OO” capsule is larger and therefore is a higher dosage).

    To test we chose between giving one capsule in the evening, after school or in the morning on a weekend. It was important to make certain that the child was in a safe place and did not have any obligations outside of the home or a place he felt safe. It is very important to closely observe and monitor a child’s behavior. We never rely on memory, always writing down observations, noting changes in behavior and communication.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE:

    The following denotes the amounts given to Jeffrey after 6 months of rigorous monitoring and observation. (Jeffrey did not begin with the following dosages)

    AM = 1 each “OO” and “O”    (one leaf, one neuro leaf)

    Mid day = “OO”

    PM =1 each “OO” and “O”     (one leaf, one neuro leaf)

    Added to Jeffrey’s daily regimen is a combination of leaf mixed with small portion of finely ground flowers (“Neuro leaf”). It is prepared in exactly the same way. He still takes the Happy Caps made from “leaf” in addition to Happy Caps made from “Neuro leaf.” This modified dosage administered provides all the medicine presently required to keep Jeffrey’s condition stabilized.

    Marijuana Cookies

    Top

    (from the Lompico Neighborhood Cookbook)

    The essential first step in the preparation of a perfect marijuana cookie is the butter. The healing essence (THC) of marijuana is not water soluble, but fortunately it’s easily released in oil – perfect for cookies or any baked product that uses butter oil.

    Green Butter

    Top

    Melt ½ lb. of butter in a double boiler. Grind one ounce of dried shake (regular leaves that do not need to be smoking quality) into a fine powder and sift into the melting butter. Cover and steep for an hour or more to allow the THC to be released into the butter. The result will be an emerald green and highly volatile spread.  At this stage finger licking can be disastrous, if you wanted to accomplish anything else productive that day.

     For fine quality butter, use whole or coarsely chopped leaves, steep for at least two hours and strain through a sieve. This method will result in a weaker but more finely flavored butter. In Lompico we hate waste and eschew subtlety, so we use the powder. Overall strength of the butter of course depends upon the quality of the marijuana. If you want to waste high quality weed in cookies, use a lot less.

    Chill your green butter in the refrigerator. Green butter can be used in any standard cookie recipe. Choose one that uses a good quantity of shortening and substitute with the green butter.

    Our favorite recipe for green butter cookies -- with a special 
    thank you to the Lompico Underground.

     

    You will need:

    ½ lb. Green Butter

    ½ cup plus 1 Tbs. Powdered sugar

    2 tsp. Vanilla extract

    2 tsp. Almond extract

    1 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

    1 ¾ cups sifted flour

    Whip the powdered sugar into the green butter until it turns a light sea foam green. Whip in the vanilla, almond, and a little salt. Blend in the chopped nuts. Finally, blend in the flour very lightly.

    Form the mixture into the small balls, about half the size of a ping-pong ball and place on a cookie sheet. Bake in a 300-degree oven for about 25 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on rack and roll powdered sugar.

    This recipe will make about 3 ½ dozen cookies. Please be warned: do not eat more than one.

    Warm thanks to Jackie Meaden for your wonderful volunteer work on this project. -WAMM
