How to Get Started

This recipe calls for cannabutter, which can be dosed however you like. Here’s a basic cannabutter recipe:

To get started, place your plant material in the Nova, running a full cycle, or the FX, using A1 for THC or CBG-rich material, and A2 for CBD-rich material. Then add a stick of butter (or some Ardent Ghee) on top of the activated material inside the unit using the Concentrate and Infusion Sleeve (fit for either the Nova or FX,) by running another cycle in the Nova or the Infuse cycle on the FX.

To determine the dose of your final product, you must first know the percentage of your starting material. If you’re using just a gram, let’s say at 23% THCA, we’d move the decimal point over one space to the right (equaling 230 mgs) and subtract 13% (which is the weight of the acid material that gets displaced during decarboxylation.) In this case, you’ll be working with about 200 mgs of THC.

Let’s get started.

How to Make Cannabis-Infused Elote
