Note: Before making CannaButter, you must first go through the decarb process. Decarboxylation occurs when there is a reaction which separates molecule groups, turning THCA (non-active) into THC (the happy stuff). This is why you must heat the bud at a low temp. Without it, there would be no psychoactive properties. This is true when you smoke, too!

- 1/2 ounce to 1 or more ounces of shake, popcorn, and/or trimmings
