LadyGrateful Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Sorry if I've written in the wrong place but I am new...I have an important question: If I make one pound of cannabis butter does it equate to one pound of marijuana in possession? That is what I have been told but it does not seem possible since that much isn't used to make it. Help??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristinew Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 yes the butter and the cookies do count as weight,, best to make cannabis oil and just add a few drops to a cookie when eating it, this oil must be warmed first to have the effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaquetoo Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 yep thats why i quit making butter,,i use 2 ounces to 1 lb of butter,,,so when i do 2 pounds of butter with a 1/4lb of mm it makes it go upto 2 lbs,,I make honey oil it makes 1/4 lb turn into a few grams of good bho!

Peace FTW Jim yep, same with simpson oil. 1/2 lb of bud turns into less than 1.5 oz of MMJ. simpson oil (RSO) is preactivated, bho still needs heat to activate. If your going to put it into a food to cook and consume immediately, or to smoke/add to something to smoke or vaporize, BHO might be easier, but if you want to condense it straight, RSO is king No offense Jim, I just LOVE my RSO. Little bit in a gel cap, and you are feeling good for hours. I got 12+ hours out of it before, great for sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bob Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I would suggest making smaller batches (so you don't have more than 2.5 oz total between the butter and your meds, but another thing is very good documentation of how much cannabis is in the butter...

Geoffrey Laster Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Ok, Now the police that I teach to handle this medicine, I tell them that if the butter or cookies a frozen then they are notready to use. Know if you live in and area that doesn't know what is rdy or not then your are in trouble anyway you have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledLakePatient Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 nice one Geoffrey, I'll have to remember that. I've been warned by lawyers about how heavy medibles are, but have there been any court cases based mainly or solely on someone having to much butter or cookies?

Ms Chocolate Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 The material was made ready for use once you made the butter. If frozen foods are not ready for use, explain ice and ice cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whacked Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I wouldnt rely on the frozen thing either. I always freeze my girl scout cookies before eating. Im sure any lawyer would argue that they are perfectly ready to eat. some very good info, I would have never thought the weight of the finished food item would count, you would think only the ammount of goodies inside would. looks like rice krispy treats are the way to go!

Morhawk Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 This is one of those points that could be argued until the cows come home, leave again, and then come back. The law states you can have 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana. Obviously, flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and chocolate chips are not marijuana. But on the other hand, it's not our interpretation ultimately that matters, it will be the judge/jury if this ever came to that point. I mean "usable marijuana" is a somewhat broad term. Can I harvest 6 pounds of marijuana and legally have it as long as it is not dry. It's not "usable," but it seems like that would be pushing your luck to the max. I'm with Dr. Bob on this one, keep your records tight. Weigh your matter before cooking and after cooking, the difference would be the amount of "marijuana" in the edibles. I honestly couldn't imagine that it would be a significant weight difference, so you could have an entire fridge full of medibles and only account for 2 ounces perhaps. But again, it's what LEO thinks that matters. They may be right or wrong, but it's your wallet and life. You can say all you want behind bars or at the cashier of the court, but you are still screwed. Play it safe and smart, and let the next guy figure it out for us in front of the judge.

CedarSpringsCG Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 THe law says dried usable Marihuana. So before it is dried, it is not usable. I mean when you cut a plant down, it is about 70% heavier than what it will dry to. Meaning, a normal 4 oz plant, when cut will actually weigh around 10 oz. If you were only allowed 2.5 oz of undried MMJ, you would end up harvesting just over 1/2 oz and throwing the rest of the plant away. If it isn't dry, it isn't usable. Weighing the food before and after isn't accurate, unless you capture all of the condenate and weight that too. And any oil that stays in the pan. The amount of MMJ that you put into cookies is probably less than the amount of water that evaporates when you cook it. Documentation is OK, but they can decide to not believe you, and there is no way to separate out the MMJ from the cookie to weigh it after. We need a law that says MMJ edibles are counted differently. Like say 2 lbs of Edible Cannabis is allowed, considering 1 oz into a 1 lb brownie is a good amount.

Ms Chocolate Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 The part of the law I would think cover anything other than smoking material is here in bold: "Usable marihuana" means the dried leaves and flowers of the marihuana plant, and any mixture or preparation thereof. Besides, What may be frozen is not frozen when the lawman leaves. If you think the law always smells of logic, click this link. I think you will find that some things stinks. http://marietta.patch.com/articles/link-to-raquel-nelsons-saga#youtube_video-7140784 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalledLakePatient Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I hear many things from patients that I don't hear from cops or detractors. I think this is of little importance and that noone will ever go after a patient with too many cookies. Dispensary or cg, maybe; patient no. I'm assuming no one has heard of a court case in MI involving medibles. WLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purklize Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) I wonder if medibles would not be considered "dried" because they're largely hydrated (who the h3ll eats dehydrated rock hard brownies?).

I'm assuming no one has heard of a court case in MI involving medibles. WLP Court cases involving medibles; The only one I heard about was the dispensary owner that was on tape saying they would have to put the chemical smelling marijuana into their medibles. I believe that one is going to trial soon. I'm not sure if medibles were confiscated or not. Could be precedent setting if they were. There are always those tea bagger types attacking medibles because they say kids will get them and be hurt, they want them banned. That was in the news a while back.
