fan leaves to make cannabutter? is it worth it?

Hi all,
I'm starting to think using the Large fan leaves to make anything is a waste of time.
They just seem too weak. Any opinions?

I completely agree.

fan leaves go into the trash. but if your desperate can cut those off during harvest and suck on a leaf . there is some thc on it to give you a contact buzz. but not worth cooking or trying to make oil

LoL, maybe that's why they're called "sucker leaves" , best when added to the compost pile apparently-

No THC but plenty of CBD.. they can be used for knock out butter.

I have heard that people juice the fan leaves.

When I'm trimming the harvest, all the leftovers go into the crock pot, stems, leaves, etc. (Well, not the rootball!) and I make budder or whatever. I'll make brownies to test the strength. Sometimes I'll combine a coupla plants -- it really depends. I freeze whatever parts I'm not making butter with immediately. The budder is perfectly fine for lightweights, usually.

Sometimes I like to unknowingly wear the fan leaves, on the bottom of my shoe, or stuck to my shirt, and cruise through the grocery store, or to my kid's parent/teacher conference. <this has happened to me>

Makes me look really aware. <kidding>

Not enough THC in those fan leaves to do anything with ..? but I'm open to ideas ....lol

lmao Silly String Me, picking daughter up from work after trimming all day: Me: 'how was your shift?' Daughter: 'mom, you have weed on your shirt.'

I've been known to make butter out of the males as soon as they show (using the whole plant - rootball) 2 males to a batch of brownies makes for pretty happy brownies IMHO. That said, they are also awesome bunny chow that the bunnies helpfully turn into even more nitrogen But *just* the fan leaves are pretty useless unless you want to make jamacian cubans (which for the record taste awesome.)

Guys, fan leaves are quite useful when prepared with clarified butter(ghee) by mixing 1 part leaves, 4 parts ghee, 16 parts water and cooking in very low heat till the water evaporates. I have tried and I has some effect which is not at all disappointing.

lay them about your place, they look hella cool!

PLEASE, anyone in Ontario who is throwing out fan leaves, please contact me. I use them to make cannabutter and the medical benefit I am getting for my MS symptoms is amazing.

I was actually curious whether they were worth keeping. Since I'm not too far from first harvest. And have never even seen a plant go from seed to what's in those little bags of sunshine.

My first thought was to use them as part of a skinny thai stick (possibly). Or since I'm not going be selling what I grow. Just add them to the trim. Which will end up being smoked anyway.

this is interesting. I have been adding my fan leaves to my compost pile but now I think i'll try making ejuice with them.if they do have CBD in them that may work well

Juicing looks awesome and you can customize the flavour. The next time I have fresh raw leaves I will definitely be trying a small amount that way.
