Vaporizing doesn\u2019t combust the cannabis, it essentially bakes it at a high temperature, leaving a lot of THC on the buds.\u00a0<i>Y<\/i><i>o<\/i><i>u do have to<\/i><i>\u00a0make sure\u00a0<\/i><i>that\u00a0<\/i><i>when you&#8217;re vaporizing<\/i><i>,<\/i><i>\u00a0you\u2019re not\u00a0<\/i><i>at so high of a temperature that\u00a0<\/i><i>you&#8217;re left<\/i><i>\u00a0with no THC<\/i><i>.<\/i><i>\u00a0<\/i><i>If\u00a0<\/i><i>your leftover weed is turning black<\/i><i>,<\/i><i>\u00a0your temperature is too high<\/i><i>. It\u00a0<\/i><i>should be a\u00a0<\/i><i>light to dark\u00a0<\/i><i>brown.\u00a0<\/i><br \/>\nVaping is not only the healthiest way to consume our precious cannabinoids, it is also the most economical. With vaporizing, a little bit goes a very long way. You can also experiment with combining other healing herbs in your vaporizer to enhance your stash and make it last even longer<i>.<\/i>\u00a0<em>Keep an airtight glass jar next to your vaporizer and use it as your &#8220;ashtray&#8221; for all the\u00a0vaporized\u00a0herb.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The best part of cooking with\u00a0weed that has already been vaped is that you\u00a0get to skip the long process of activating your canna-butter.\u00a0Since your flower has already been heated by its first round of\u00a0vaporization, all of the cannabinoids are activated and ready to directly infuse. The recommendation is to still\u00a0give it some heat and infuse your scraps in butter\u00a0or\u00a0oil,\u00a0but in a pinch you could theoretically throw the already been vaped weed directly into your brownie mix. The only caveat to this method is that the taste might not be as good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Okay, now\u00a0let&#8217;s talk about the fun part &#8212; the options you have for\u00a0infusion:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Canna-butter<\/b>\u00a0&#8211; Butter has been a long-time go-to for cannabis consumers\u00a0because of its\u00a0high fat content, it\u2019s easy to infuse, and\u00a0it\u00a0makes everything taste\u00a0freakin&#8217;\u00a0amazing. THC, CBD and all the other good-for-you things that are packed in our favorite flower attach to fat molecules,\u00a0so our goal is to get butter with the highest fat content.\u00a0To find the fat content just look at the saturated and unsaturated fat on the back of the package&#8230;I recommend to choose an unsalted\u00a0butter with\u00a0at least 7g of saturated fat.<\/p>\n<p><b>Canna-Oil\u00a0<\/b>&#8211; Already-vaped weed can be infused into any kind of cooking oil, including olive,\u00a0canola\u00a0and my personal favorite, coconut. I haven&#8217;t yet tried avocado oil, but the more fat the better!\u00a0Coconut has the highest saturated fat content with 12 grams\u00a0of saturated fat, but olive oil and avocado are\u00a0in the lead in the monounsaturated fats with 10 grams. Edible cocoa butter is also a great option for infusion as it has 8 grams of saturated fat and has\u00a0arguably\u00a0the best\u00a0taste.<\/p>\n<p>Both options for infusion are very versatile,\u00a0and can be subbed\u00a0into any recipe that calls for butter\u00a0or\u00a0oil. Don&#8217;t be afraid to think outside the &#8220;weed brownie box!&#8221;\u00a0You can go the savory route with a\u00a0stoned\u00a0stir-fry, canna-buttered cornbread, or medicated mashed potatoes. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<p><b>WHAT YOU DO<\/b><b>:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Weigh out a half-ounce of your Already Been Vaped weed (you can add less or more to adjust the strength of the final product)<\/li>\n<li>Create a tea bag out of cheesecloth holding all your ABV weed (this eliminates the need for straining). Place\u00a0your THC teabag into an empty saucepan.<\/li>\n<li>Measure a 1\/2 cup of butter or oil of your preference and add it to the saucepan with the ABV weed. If you\u2019re using butter or coconut oil, you may want to melt it in the microwave first.<\/li>\n<li>Stir the butter\/oil and the ABV weed together on low heat until the mixture begins to simmer.<\/li>\n<li>Simmer the mixture for a minimum of 20 minutes, stirring frequently. This ensures that your\u00a0butter\/oil is being infused to its maximum potential. If you have time to kill, feel free to leave your pan on low heat for a couple\u00a0of\u00a0hours.<\/li>\n<li>Once you feel satisfied with your infusion, remove from the stove.<\/li>\n<li>Squeeze all of the butter\/oil out of\u00a0the\u00a0teabag filled with your ABV weed and discard. If you decided to mix your ABV in directly with your butter\/oil, it&#8217;s now time to separate.\u00a0Using cheesecloth, strain the butter\/oil into a\u00a0plastic\u00a0container.This is\u00a0easiest as a two person job, one holding the cheesecloth and one pouring out the pan. Squeeze all the remaining butter\/oil out of the cheesecloth and into your bowl,\u00a0and throw it away.<\/li>\n<li>Your infusion is now ready to use!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sub your fresh canna butter or oil into any recipe, sweet or savory, and get creative.\u00a0You don\u2019t have to use it all at once either\u00a0as it will keep\u00a0in your fridge for a couple\u00a0of\u00a0weeks. It makes a great topping for toast in the morning before a stressful day.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite flavor profile to enhance the herbal flavor of the butter\/oil is lemon, but it\u2019s always exciting to experiment and find\u00a0your own preference.\u00a0Share your favorite recipes in the comments below.\u00a0I always love trying new medicated masterpieces!<br \/>\nConsume your ganja treats responsibly now, my friends, because while whatever you make will taste absolutely delicious, you can\u2019t forget that they will be very potent.\u00a0If you lost count on how many cookies you\u2019ve eaten and need to soften your high,\u00a0check out our article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/blog\/news\/2016\/02\/how-to-quickly-reduce-your-marijuana-high\/\">How-To:\u00a0Reduce\u00a0Your High<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_4037-Edit.jpg?a8203f\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-46653\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_4037-Edit-1024x678.jpg?a8203f\" alt=\"IMG_4037-Edit\" width=\"702\" height=\"465\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#160; Today I\u2019m going to teach you an easy way to bring\u00a0new life to your already vaped weed scraps.
