If you are extracting using oil, yes. If doing a QWET then no. ---

Yes as in I can use fresh if I’m using oil? I’m using canola cooking oil in a crockpot for 12 or so hours. ---

This is one… > [@Using an Instant Pot for Budder/Oils/etc](https://ilgmforum.com/t/topic/19428/1): > > Has anybody tried using a pressure cooker for making budder, oils, tinctures, etc? I’m thinking it would work like gangbusters, and plan on trying it in about a week. If you’ve tried it, let me know how it worked, or if you have any hints/tips. If you haven’t, stay tuned over the next week or so, and I’ll share my results. There is another I can’t find right yet > [@How to make butter](https://ilgmforum.com/t/how-to-make-butter/27099/7): > > Ok thank you I’m gonna look at it now Not the one but another ---

I cut a small damaged cola off a CBD Kush I’m close to harvesting. I let it dry a couple days before running it through my LEVO and infusing it into olive oil. I ran both the dry & decarb cycles. It worked just fine. ---

That’s a lot stronger than I make for my wife, but for her is medical usage. Basically, just trying to take the edge off her chronic pain. My last cannabutter was 1.2g dry trim & bud to 1 cup of vegan butter. ---

Well good then should be plenty strong, I’m wanting it to where you only need a bite. ---

@Joe318 It will be strong. If for wife start a regimen. SMALL doses 3 times a day for week. Up it a touch next week. 3rd week she should start showing tolerance to getting high. After she loses being wasted she can dose harder. I was up to 1g a day of rso when pain was bad. Back down now but oils/edibles/honey instead of rso. I put 3oz in a 16 oz jar of honey for brother. Had to add lecithin and water but it is crazy strong. For his chemo/radiation crap. I would suggest you eat it first or a tripping wife might whip your butt…lol. ---

That’s not as strong as I make, but should work. My recipe is simple,1 ounce bud, 1cup coconut oil, 1 teaspoon lecithin. Easy for me to remember.
