Cannabutter Storage Question

[patient27]

I am looking for ideas to discreetly store cannabutter in my fridge and prevent spoilage. How long will it last in fridge? Does it freeze well? Maybe I could freeze in small portions?

[Sparky]

Freeze it for long term storage. Keeps like butter.

[mibrains]

Great Question.

 

thank you for asking it..

 

first and foremost..... with all the problems happening in real time in Michigan...

 

Label your cannabutter as dangerous for minors or Lock it up.

 

do not leave it accessible to people who are not allowed to use it legally.

 

PLEASE

 

those people who let their children/household have access to their cannabis medication need to be hung by their entrails and left to fend for themselves.

 

am i being to direct?

 

i have this opinion because i have repeatedly witnessed Humans not "standing tall" and "claiming their personal responsibilities" when it comes to their typical Cannabis

history.

 

folks...

 

Please... i beg you.. over and over again... protect your cannabis medication from YOUR OWN CHILDREN.

 

it is not MY responsibility to protect YOUR children from Our Most Amazing Cannabis plant...until they are adults and can make up their own mind.

 

KEEP YOUR MEDICATION UNDER LOCK AND KEY.

 

your cannabutter can be frozen for several months if you package it properly.. and can remain as discreet as your household would be able to tolerate based on contact interests...

 

this thread causes me flashbacks...

 

my apologies if i sound distracted... this subject reminds me of so many arguments from the past...

Label your cannabutter as dangerous for minors or Lock it up.

 

Since the Court of Appeals has declared in Carruthers that extractions are not protected under the law it would probably be better to lock it up than label it.

[trichcycler]

or leave some leaves in the mix...

[Wild Bill]

or leave some leaves in the mix...

I wouldn't bet the farm on that approach unless there is clearly more leaf than butter. If the bulk of the mixture was leaf with a little butter in it then it's a preparation of leaves (protected).

 

If not then I'm afraid it would be considered an extraction with contaminants in it (not protected).

[trichcycler]

did those buttered cops and guards get charged with analogues or just improper transferring ?

[Wild Bill]

For instance, I found out recently that my interpretation is shared by Ken Stecker of PAAM, and is much more reasonable than the "concentrates and medibles are all illegal" interpretation.

What is your interpretation? I'm certain any reasonable person would disagree with the COA, but I wouldn't want to risk my freedom by thinking the criminal justice system is going to be reasonable.

[Wild Bill]

So extracted oil by itself is OK but if it is baked in a cookie it's not?

Thank you mibrains. I appreciate the safety reminders. Your advice is well-taken.

That's is what I read in Carruthers, while really trying to follow their silly logic.

If not in conjunction with other forms, 2.5 ounces of extracted oil on hand is legal then? 

[Restorium2]

Since thousands of patients across the state have oil on hand I'm sure we will get some further definition of our rights soon. It seems like the best way to go right now is to have some oil on hand and make your edibles with that and eat them up as quick as you make them. Or just eat the oil in a gel cap which should be the same effects as a cookie/candy type thing. 

[trichcycler]

Oil is a huge sale at dispensaries I've seen, so it must be legal, just like certain dispensaries are. .

[Restorium2]

Yup. And when they do decide to go for the 'next guy' there will be some sort of ugly extenuated circumstances because that's how they pick em. It's not going to be a patient with a solid rec and just a few grams of oil. 

[Norby]

So if I made oil and infused it into coconut oil and filled gel caps which weighed a gram each(capsule, coconut oil and cannaoil), I would just count them as a gram each towards my weight?  I've actually not used oil and used kief instead since you could then see "cannabis plant material" under a dissecting scope and counted each capsule as a gram each against my weight.  I wanted there to be shake material in there if they tried the other ruling. 

 

So would either be acceptable as long as you count the whole weight, capsule and all?  The second, with actual plant material seems to be more "covered"?

Why would you infuse it into coconut oil? That would just mess it up. Just keep the oil as pure as possible then you can have more and it's better that way anyway. 

[trichcycler]

consuming the oil with lipids and other oils/fats will go along way towards comfortable digestion and absorption for some people.

Then eat some type of oil with it. Don't complicate and make things illegal, just think. There's no reason to add the oil to the gel cap.

 I take a tablespoon of coconut oil and butter everyday. Now I am wonder what the difference is between a salve and the butter. Can you ingest salve too? They smell and look exactly alike.

[trichcycler]

salves are made in all kinds of ways. I guess it would depend on the safety of your salve. what do you eat butter for ?

[Restorium2]

A salve often has special ingredients to help it get through your skin, which are most likely not what you want inside of you. 

[Highlander]

Doesn't the COA Carruthers decision state that becasue the PHC identifies "resin" distinctly from other parts of the plant and because the MMMA does not, that resin is not protected?

 

From Page 5 of the opinion:

 

By contrast, however, the definition of “usable marihuana” under the MMA does not include “all parts” of the cannabis plant. More to the point, it specifically does not include “the resin extracted from” the cannabis plant. Nor does it include “the resin extracted” from mature stalks of the plant.

 

Not sayin' I agree with it, but it deserves some discussion as this would currently be the "law of the land."

That's the line that has worried me. If that's the case then oil or infused butter would not be protected under the law.

Yeah me too.  I think the COA flubbed it.  A "preparation thereof" means a preparation of leaves and flowers.  I don't see how a reasonable mind would conclude that oil is not a preparation of leaves and flowers.  Nonetheless, this is the crap we need to deal with until/if the SC reviews it with a more clear-headed approach.  It appears that the COA says that resin isn't protected.

[Restorium2]

I guess you would have to smear the oil back on a bud that already does have the 'would be' illegal resin on it then? Then it's magically legal because it has joined it's friend the legal bud resin on a bud. Hard to make any sense of this.
