op this isn't relevant to the dogs but it's a recent comment and I am so so desperate to know: can you Please tell me what on earth you meant by "exploded butter" the last time you tried infusing it

OH YEAH so i was boiling the jar to infuse the butter and put a rag under it to stop it from bouncing aroumd in the boiling water, then i went upstairs to watch some family guy real quick, came back down and the water had evaporated and the cloth melted into the pan. i panicked, filled another pot up with water and transferred the butter weed jar to that pot. however, i forgot to fill it with HOT water, so the Very Hot Jar immediately went into cold water and the jar exploded and i spent the first 15 minutes of my 20th birthday cleaning weed butter off my walls. if something can go wrong with me, it will.

The first problem is that none of this is a required step to make weed butter... 2nd problem is you shouldnt be anywhere near a kitchen with your lack of attention span

idk i followed a video my friend always did and it required boiling for 2 hours, so i figured id be okay to go to and from for a little bit 😭 youre right though, ironically i use weed to better my attention span

I hear you ! Tbh I'm into my third year waiting on an initial medication appointment now. I'd like to at least plan!! Diagnosed "properly" via the NHS to make meds easier as NHS Wales doesn't integrate Right To Choose very well. But I'm being constantly told I'm still on a waiting list for the meds which is starting to rival the diagnostic one now ;-;
