Extraction From green dragon to cannabutter

[Hybrid]

I don't smoke so I prefer edibles in some form, I will now tell what I do to get most dank out of the bud.

First I decarb the bud in the oven in 110 minutes at 110C or 60 minutes at 115C.
Then I make green dragon.
I have tried the master wu method but I prefer the more simple modern green dragon.

To make modern green dragon just put your decarbed cannabis in a bottle or a jar and add 2 cl alcohol per gram decarbed cannabis, the stronger alcohol the better result.
Shake for a few minutes and it's done or just let it sit overnight.
Now use a strainer to separate the liquid from the pulp and pour the green dragon on a bottle.

Then I add oil to the remaining flowers and let it sit for some days or even weeks, the oil will of course be weaker than the green dragon but it will still give you a high and also have medicinal value.

After I'm done with the oil I put my greasy cannabis in a kettle, add some butter and water and let it simmer for an hour or so.
Then I use a strainer and pour the liquid it in a bowl.
Let it cool down and put it in the fridge.
When the butter is hard then pour out the water and you have cannabutter, it's of course weak but will still give you some high if you just use enough of it

It's also possible to make use of 100% of the medicine by cooking/baking with decarbed herb powder.
The following assumes a box cookie mix that will make 30 cookies of about 40 mg thc each. This FECO, tincture, capsules, etc, all have the same potency when using the same amount of herb.
1. Decarb @ 240 F for 40 min, or better yet use Ardent Nova/Lift.
2. Grind to fine powder.
3. Mix together decarbed herb powder, a roughly equal amount of lecithin, and recipe oil.
4. Quickly pre-heat mixture on a stove top to 220 F, then bake at that temp for 20-40 min. 40 min is slightly sleepier than 20 min.
5. Add mixture to the recipe, and bake. Getting equal size cookies for accurate dosing is a bit hard, and I actually weigh them individually with fingers.

Thank you, but can you tell me how much cannabis you use for this?

Oops! Forgot to mention that 7.5 grams herb makes 30 cookies of about 40 mg each, without any noticeable weed taste.
15 grams will make 30 doubly strong cookies, but will taste of herb. I use vegan snickerdoodle and chocolate cookie recipes that produces 30, 10 gram cookies of about 40 mg thc each.
