Slog - Comments on Re: Pot-Laced Meatballs http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/re_potlaced_meatballs A Slog reader wants our recipe for pot butter from last Thanksgiving's "I Can't Believe It's Pot Butter: Holiday Recipes with a Special Magic Ingredient." You can use the butter in just about any recipe calling for butter or vegetable oil. POT BUTTER You will need... • Double boiler or heat-safe bowl that fits inside a saucepan • Storage container • Rubber gloves • Cheesecloth • Rubber band • 1/8 oz. bud or 1/4 oz. shake • 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) • Grind or crumble weed until fine. Fill bottom pot halfway with water, place butter and weed...

i use about half an eighth for a small pan of brownies [jiffy mix brownies are perfect]. more than enough for 3-4 people.

Brandon, yes, you're right; if two people ate the whole pan at once they'd be over the moon for a long time. Start with one brownie/cookie/baked potato/whatever. Then put them away and wait at least two hours before you decide to eat more. Read the article for the disclaimer and more advice.

If you're talking Seattle, pot is about as easy to find here as a double-tall Soy Latte. If you don't know anyone with access (and you probably do, you just don't know that you know) then if worse comes to worst, hang out on The Ave., Broadway, or Victor Steinbrueck park for about 30 minutes - if someone doesn't offer to sell you some in that amount of time, it's because you probably look like a cop.

So now that COMTE told you where to find it, you've just got to refuse those manditory piss tests at work. Say it's unconstitutional or an invasion of your privacy or something.

1) The gloves are important.....the butter is really hot when you go to strain the cloth.
2) It made great p-nut butter cookies.
3) The cookies made me fall more than usual while snowboarding but I didn't care.

1/3 cup of finely ground pot for 2 sticks of butter.

I use the regular Tollhouse recipe and makes 24 cookies.

By "this area," I did indeed mean Seattle. I'm a bit perplexed by your assertions about the Ave and Broadway, as I hang out in those places a lot and look absolutely nothing like a cop.

And it's not like I'm sitting at home wondering, "Where's the pot?" I look. I search. I ask. I haven't found any, or anyone who uses it. Since so many of you seem to, though, I can only conclude that Seattle isn't a pot-friendly city, just a pot-elitist city.

It's likely a demographic issue for you. Almost everyone I know either smokes it or knows someone who does. It's truly everywhere. Do you know any college students? Artists? Skateboarders? Poets? DJs? Teachers? Ask the most creative person you know.

While I appreciate the suggestions, I'm not 80 and confined to a retirement home, and the same goes for my friends. Ignoring the fact that Seattle's a difficult city in which to make friends, I know plenty of folks in all the categories you mentioned, with the exception of skateboarders and DJs. I'm just a young, regular guy doing his thing and living his life. I moved here years ago, and figured it was time to check out this pot thing, only to find out that it was practically nonexistent here, and that I'd wasted opportunities back in my former home in the middle of the country. Everyone used pot there, and everyone was open about it. Too bad I didn't take it up there.

When the water turns green, replace it with fresh water. Repeat until you've leached most of the chlorophyll out. Set it out between paper towels to dry and then use as directed. It will be just as potent (THC is not water soluble), but you'll get rid of the grassy taste.
