Money is tight in these tough times. We must try not to waste anything...especially if it can still get us high :) Here you will find a few tried and true tips:
Stems carry very few trichomes and correspondingly a very low percentage of THC, the main psychoactive chemical found in marijuana. They do contain some THC though, especially on stems from high quality buds. Save your stems. When you have about 1/4-1/2 oz of good stems, use them in our cannabis milk tutorial, just substitute the new quantity of stems for the former quantity of bud. You could also use our ganja hot chocolate recipe.
After making a batch of cannabis butter, take the remaining marijuana leaf material that you filtered out (using cheesecloth or a strainer) and repeat the steps you took to make the initial batch. This time, however, use all the leaf in about 1/4 the amount of butter you used the first time. This new batch can then be added to the first.
You could also use the remaining bud to brew up a batch of marijuana milk similarly to stems.
