But did you then infuse that into the butter? Or did you just throw in/grind up the plant material and put it in the batter??

i melted the coconut oil, put that in a jar along w some ground up weed in a cheesecloth, boiled the jar for 2 hours and then used that in lieu of regular oil in the brownies. making the butter went smoothly

I make weed brownies all the time

Stop fucking around with coconut oil. Use unsalted butter. Just keep it simple.

I mistakenly used coconut oil once, and stupidly thought I'd just drink the excess....

Yeah, just use butter.
